14 Best Cafes in Santa Clara

“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! 😁😁😁😁❤️🤍💙“

“I recently visited CAFFE:iN – Santa Clara and had a really good experience. I ordered the popcorn chicken and a matcha latte, and both were great. The popcorn chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the matcha latte had a nice balanced taste without being too sweet.

The cafe has a clean, cozy atmosphere and the staff were friendly and quick. It’s a comfortable spot to relax, grab a drink, or hang out for a bit. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more items.“

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

“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 store appears to be mainly a cafe/boba /snack shop with some games and anime stuff.

I saw this store on my TikTok feed. I believe they have two locations in California and Pennsylvania. At least compared to the Pennsylvania stores TikTok’s, the California store feels a lot smaller in real life in terms of carrying “nerdy” or anime or gamer stuff for sale.

Cardshop Santa Clara is a few steps away though if you are looking for pokemon tcg or other card stuff though. Gametime hobby shop is a short drive if you are looking for used video games/tcg. I feel like those two businesses are more worthy of the “Gamers Heaven” name in Santa Clara.

With that said, I wish this business the best of luck. Just with what I seen with TikTok, i expected a bigger retail shopping store“

“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.“

“I went in around the afternoon and was greeted by a very sweet lady. I’m pretty sure she was the owner of the shop. I decided to get the Kona Coffee Frappe and it was amazing, i think the coffee is her specialty :) she also gave my brother and i two tasty donuts. i recommend!“

“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 adorable cafe is pink from top to bottom. So many cute Hello Kitty details, such as HK sugar, toppings, sandwich cut outs. Its hard to describe the perfection.
Our group of 6 enjoyed tea service- just a warning that they do not have a gluten free option. April was our server. She took care of our every whim with a smile.

So fun! I highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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.“
