“This Cafe is absolutely amazing! Kenny is just so happy to have anyone here! He takes pictures of every customer, he is kind and the food is delicious and filling. We just happened upon it, and we are so happy we did! Thank you Kenny! 😁😁😁😁❤️🤍💙“

“Fresh and fabulous ❣️ Worth the wait, for sure😋“

“Like it says on the tin, a little slice of the divine for nerds who like games.
With regular events highlighting the range of gaming; video games from east to west & tabletop of every sort. Starting from the menu items and radiating out from there, it's hard to not find something a geeky heart enjoys.
Owned & staffed by individuals dedicated to the shop as well as the culture, it's easy to feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
They even attend cons, so be sure to check them out there for exclusives you might not get back to the shop!“

“Came here for a late night sweet treat and it definitely hit the spot!

We got the Boba Lava Toast, which is one of the signature toast desserts. The boba is Brown Sugar Boba, which is my favorite! The dessert was very yummy and I'd definitely get it again. Great option for something late at night considering most places are closed.

The place is decorated very cutely and staff is really friendly!

They played kpop songs in the background which is fun.“

“Great service, the man at the front was very personable and hospitable. Gave us great service and a great portion size for the price. I had the Korean spicy pork which gave me nostalgia of having it back home. Really tasty and rich. My coworker had the hot punch sandwich which he enjoyed he definitely wants to try a more special sandwich next time. Overall great time, good food, and good portions.“

“This is the best place. Recommend to come and try all the drinks.“

“Was NOT expecting this place to be this good. Croissant sandwich was easily one of the best I’ve had. The croissant was perfect. Ladies working are super nice too. Only thing that was missing was regular cream for coffee - like half & half or heavy cream (I can’t drink coffee mate brand). But seriously, great breakfast and I’m excited to go back whenever I’m working in Santa Clara!

EDIT: they have regular cream in the fridge - was just missing it.“

“Small Mom&Pop operation offering a selection of donuts and sandwich on bread, croissant, or bagel. Open literally everyday, e.g., holidays, for breakfast and lunch. It doesn't have the polish or upscale vibe of major chains, but always clean an bright... quite comfortable for me.“

“Pretty average hotel. Giving it 4 stars given it included breakfast and happy hour. The bartenders and omlette maker were excellent and friendly. Other breakfast staff seemed less than thrilled to be there but overall went about their tasks and kept out of guests way. The rooms could definitely use some updating and the layout was quite awkward being right next to the stairwell. The room felt cramped and the bathroom small to maneuver in. Not sure if all rooms were that way but I'd suggest a different room. The hotel was reasonably close to some restaurants and easy enough to get around the area. Overall not a bad stay.“

“Hoda Asfari left a bad review, dont listen to her complaining. She is just ungrateful and impatient. If anything, it’s all underpriced. Sandwiches are $10 and comes with chips. The way she is writing is like a privileged brat. Great staff and excellent food. They are very nice people and owners. I especially enjoy the spicy chicken sandwich and add avocado to it.Our community overwhelms them sometimes so we must have patience and show respect.“

“I went to have a business meeting. Parking was easy due to convention center parking. The cafe is located in same building as Hyatt Regency and it’s nicely accessible. The cafe has plenty of seating around it and it’s away from traffic noise, made it good for our meeting. Food was consistent with any cafe. Service was friendly and good.“

“This is one of my favorite places to study! Their food and drinks are really good and I like that they have a small pop up area that you can pick up small stationary goods.

This place is very structured for people to vibe and work in. Note that their windows do not have blinds so the sun definitely will get to you at some parts but it's honestly fine. Their free wifi and ambience is quite good especially if you enjoy bit more active ambient cafe noise and everyday life.

It's a bit more on the rustic side of things but functionally for me it works well.“

“Adorable! But, felt a little overpriced imo, mainly because they primarily sold giant expensive sweets, instead of individually sozed sweets. The drinks were reasonably priced though. Note: It's rather crowded in the waiting area, and expect there to be lots of little kids.“
