“3.5 stars; rounded up. I grew up in Campbell and have always wanted to try this place out. Today was the day. You can order either via the drive-thru or the walk-up window. The young lady working was friendly. I got a large iced vanilla latte ($5.90). It was good, but it better be for that price. Note, iced drinks only come in either the small or large size. Minus 1 star for the price. I also asked for light ice, but I'm pretty sure I still got normal ice.“
“The coffee here is AMAZING. The sip club is totally worth it. Also, so far the food has been great, but I've only tried a few of the bagels and two different cookies.This location, of the three we've tried, has been the best so far, and here's why:EVERY employee at this shop was so friendly, the service was great all around. Made our morning, for real.The place was clean, and the noise level was low, even though the place was fairly full.The parking was easy and plentiful.If I had to make a complaint, maybe there could be a little more shade out on the patio seating? I guess? But that's not a big enough deal to lose a star.“
“GREAT garoto coffee...the espresso with foamy milk.. so smooth, not bitter nor too strong. The portuguese cheese and prosciutto sandwich was good but next time will not get it toasted as the cold cheese itself is wonderful! the Pasteis di nata are the best littleegg tarts as I found them to be a bit dry, but then again get another coffee! Owner was so friendly and the place adequate for being an older establishmen.“
“coffee is super tasty! I got the sweet honey latte which is a seasonal drink! The coffee and flavor went pretty well with each other. Normally I like my coffees on the sweeter side but this was a great cup of coffee. Plenty of parking. PLENTY of out door seating. It's such a cute coffeeshop. It's a coffeeshop inside of an airstream. It's so dope. Very aesthetically pleasing for the girlies who are looking for a new place to try!“
“So many delicious items to try! We always have to get some kind of rice ball that are ingeniously wrapped in seaweed. My son is partial to their potato salad and we always have to get a variety of buns too. You can't go wrong with any choice here!“
“So flavorful and delicious! The French toast had the perfect amount of sweetness. The cheesesteak might be a bit cheesy for some, but I enjoyed it and the steak pieces were tender and juicy! The Dino rib pieces were so soft and tender and juicy as well and was happy with the choice of adding the bone marrow. Lastly, the takoyaki was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back again to try more!“
“Açaí what you did there! Experience (3.5/5 stars): *Food: built my own custom bowl w/ the raw base, bananas, blueberries, sliced almonds, and cacaos. Wished they had unlimited toppings like at Palmetto. *Service: can either order on the machine on side or at the front *Ambiance: nice but can be dirty if people don't clean after themselves Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a light lunch! I'm hoping to try the drinks next time.“
“Walking in immediately I already feel the friendly service from Kenny. The place is not your typical restaurant. He is the only one running the shop so you gotta be patient but it’s definitely an intimate experience. He even takes a selfie with every customer. The man found happiness through this place and you gotta respect it. Just for his heart and personal service I am already giving this place 5 stars.“
“Solid spot for brunch in Los Gatos! They have both indoor and outdoor patio dining. The outdoor dining area has heat lamps, and they'll open up the awning when it gets too sunny out! I got the Crab Souffle Omelette, and I really enjoyed it! The omelette itself was huge! I was impressed with just how fluffy it was--way better than an ordinary omelette! The Crab Souffle omelette is filled with crab, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, and topped with hollandaise sauce. All of the souffle omelettes come with a bakery item and herb potatoes and grits. I love that you can get a specialty bakery item like their carrot walnut bread or raspberry coffee cake in addition to their selection of breads/English muffin/bagel. You can even add their cinnamon roll, but it will cost you an extra $5. I recommend getting their carrot walnut bread! It's tasty--a little savory and a little sweet--with a great combination of textures. I tried some of the raspberry coffee cake but did not like it as much. I would also recommend getting the herb potatoes instead of the grits. The herb potatoes were quite yummy! We were expecting the grits to be like cheesy grits or shrimp and grits (something with flavor) but these ended up just being plain grits. So unless that's what you're looking for, go with the potatoes! Service is pretty fast and efficient. Parking is street parking or park in one of the nearby public lots. There are a bunch of these in Downtown Los Gatos, so I've never had to walk too far!“
“So glad to have discovered this place. There’s a wide range of hand pour options available. Tried the yellow fruit and the notes is obviously on the acidic side which is perfect with its rich, distinct floral aroma. They also sell a variety of roasted beans. Comfortable seating by the window inside. Definitely coming back for more tasting!“
“I’m a sucker for a solid rice bowl/plate. This spot did not disappoint! Got their spicy pork and enjoyed their generous portions. Delicious seasoning/sauce with Gochujang and other good stuff.The owners are very passionate and attentive. Will be coming back!“
“I've been coming to this place my whole life, and it's absolutely amazing to see it's still doing well. Their coffee is excellent, and you tell the minute you walk in that the shop itself is full of history. This is a must-see for those visiting Los Gatos!“
“I love verde and I used to go to the cupertino one all the time as a kid before it closed. My boyfriend and I come here all the time for the nostalgia.The drinks are still amazing and the popcorn chicken is delicious!Our fav is strawberry jasmine milk tea :)“
“Pretty good. Walking distance from our Airbnb. Prices seemed pretty high but we are not from here and it could be normal for the area. Coffee was ok. Took a while to get two iced coffees. Food was really good. We shared the mexicali breakfast burrito and the chipotle sauce was amazing. Definitely put some sweat on our brows.“
“Omg THE BEST VEGAN DONUTS I’ve ever had! I was craving Boston Cream Pie donuts and they knocked it out of the park! I tried a lil bit of everything, all of their donuts are HEAVEN! Also, if you’re a cappuccino lover you must try their cappuccino! I got one with oat milk - THE BEST CAPPUCCINO EVER! lol this place is heaven.“

“My husband wanted Vietnamese coffee and our friend saw this new place nearby. The Vietnamese coffee was good, especially the egg cream topping. (Our friend also got this and thought the coffee could be stronger). We also got the yellow yacht (mango banana smoothie) and dragonberry fusion (fruit tea). The smoothie was a win! My son really enjoyed this. It was not too sweet and nice and creamy. The drinks were really pretty with the small ice cubes that they use. We waited outside because we had dogs, and when our drinks were done, the barista brought them to us! That was service beyond expectations that we appreciated but definitely don't expect. We would come here again to try more!“
“Really nice bakery with a lot of tasty stuff. I'll need to come back to try more!As others mentioned, expect a line to get in. It moves fast enough (maybe 10 minutes), but it feels like it's a bit inefficient. My only real complaint is that they could probably get everyone through faster. That said, if you come earlier (like before 8am, or maybe during work hours) I suspect it'll be pretty quiet vs 9:30 on a Saturday!The nice thing about that volume of people is they keep baking, so the stuff you get is really fresh and not running out.They obviously have a lot of viennoiseries, but they've got some other beads and tarts and cakes as well. We ended up dining in (took a bit of time to find a table, and for stuff to come out of the kitchen) getting the French toast and the chicken and croffles. The croffles were 10/10 and the French toast was maybe 9/10. Ordered coffee too, which was "fine", but not the same caliber as the baked goods.We also got a bunch of baked stuff to take home, (kouign amann, croissants, chestnut apple pastry) which was also all excellent. Prices are on the high end, but the quality shows, so it's not outrageous.Anyway, definitely will be coming back here in the future!“
“A very unique, Korean-flavored inspired cafe! The injeolmi cake was very light and spongy, whereas the black sesame cake was super dense on the bottom and complimented by the soft cream on top. The madelines were very thick and the red velvet one had cream cheese filling inside. I also got the yakgwa latte, which tasted exactly like a sweet potato! The texture was thick too. Would recommend coming here for a special day, but everything is quite pricey!“
“Came at lunchtime with my mom and had a wonderful time.The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the lunch buffet is a really good deal with all you can eat, fresh naan, and hot chai.My mom loved the goat curry and i liked the butter chicken.Will definitely come again!!“
“The culinary offerings at Joyhear Cafe are commendable, presenting an array of vegetarian dishes that are both gastronomically delightful and gentle on the digestive system. The conscientious preparation of each meal is evident, reflecting a philosophy that marries taste with nutritional benevolence.“
“Overall this was a solid weeknight date spot. The dahi papri chaat is delish! Creamy, runny yogurt + super fresh chutneys + crisp papris. Other dishes to try include a paneer pesto puff and pav bhaji. Though you can get other really good pav bhaji in the Bay, this was also very good.“
“Been there during a meet. Managers/owner/staff was great. I had a great latte with a croissant sandwich which was very fresh and good. I heard that this location is one out of two. I'm not sure where the other one is, but I'll definitely visit it.“
“Kind and authentic cafe. Ambiance was super cute. It's lovely to sit outside on a nice day and enjoy a delicious, well made latte--which they served to me when I already sat myself; a really sweet gesture. Workers seem to enjoy themselves too. I have yet to try the food but it looks good!“
“My wife and I moved here after living in Latin America for years, and we were incredibly happy to discover an empanada shop that has such great flavors. Very authentic ingredients as well as some surprises like the Panzerotti. Their Mexican Mocha was also fantastic! Not overly sweet, which is so hard to find in a mocha. We literally haven't ordered anything here yet that wasn't delicious. Highly recommended!“
“The best cappuccino I've ever tasted and all their hot/cold drinks are amazing!!! Cakes and pastries are the best thing ever!!!! Love them!! A true European gem where you don't have to travel to Paris to experience because they brought Paris here“
“I came by while I was in the area and ordered the cloudy strawberry, 25% sweet. It wasn't cheap, but you get 20% off your first order so with this discount I was able to get it for $5.54. It was definitely sweeter than I expected for 25% sweetness, but it was yummy. I liked the cheese foam and strawberry bits. Overall, not bad since at least the drink size is pretty large, and they have an okay-sized menu. They have indoor seating and a crane machine if you want to try your hand at winning a stuffed animal.“
“What a great place to grab coffee and enjoy your morning. The coffee here is spectacular if you love coffee also if you love cool looking places. They offer a variety of flavored coffee drinks which I truly avoid but in this case, my wife tried one of the flavored ones and really enjoyed it. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. I can't say anything bad about the service as well. Come here have a small talk with a friend and enjoy your drink. Definitely recommended and don't miss out.Pros: coffee, staff, decorCons: popular:)Stars: 4.5“
“Very consistent. Always the best service and really good food. Comfort & hardy food with delicious breakfast options. Love the Swedish pancakes with the special butter and really enjoy all the sandwich options as well as salad options. My son loves the breakfast tacos or chorizo special scramble.“
“I love this boba shop, they have the best drinks in the town. Their drinks are reasonably priced compared to current market prices, so they are not expensive. The staffs are very friendly, Im kind of picky, but they always give me very good recommendations. Therefore, I’d recommend this boba shop.“
“I was watching a barista brew a cup of pour over. It was like watching a Japanese tea ceremony. It felt really good seeing everyone just slowing down. I had an iced macha with saffron, amazingly refreshing! Have a little time in your hands and watch them make the drinks and you'll also feel their passion.“
“I was introduced to Vietnamese Che about 10 years ago and it has been one of my favorite desserts ever since. My typical order here is the #1 "Bambu Special." My other order is the coconut milk tea with boba, which might be the most delicious drink on earth.“
“Service is attentive. Food is really good. I ordered an egg salad sandwich today because I was in a hurry and needed something quick. I stopped by Tower Cafe to grab a sandwich because it's close by and I've never been.Menu is mounted high above the counter in colorful boards easy to read. I ordered an egg salad sandwich with pickles on rye bread. They made it to order so you can customize how you want. On top of that, they toast the slice breads so it is crunchy every bite.I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back again. Right now, they have an offer of 1 free soda with a sandwich order if you check in on Yelp.“
“The HeartBeat Cafe is such a cute cafe! It is a hidden cafe in the Cambrian Plaza. It truly is a gem and you must try it! All of the food and drinks are super yummy! The entire cafe has a great atmosphere and has the cutest decorations. When you order, your food comes out very fast! I highly recommend!!“
“O guau Panaderia La Estrella es un buen lugar el pan muy riquísimo todos los días voy a ese lugar a comprarme mi café y mis conchitas claro lo único poquito malo del lugar es el parqueadero del parqueadero es muy pequeño y hay que tener pelear un poquito con esperar turno paga para poderse parquear pero el el pan riquísimo lo recomiendo“
“Met up with friends at the cafe here a few times. So far, plenty of free parking in the lot across the street. For take-out, you step aside and wait after ordering, or for dine-in, a server will find your number to bring the food to your table. Either way, the wait can take quite awhile. I've had ham and cheese small bytes; baguette was hard and too salty. Turkey cranberry and arugula sandwich was decent. Coffee is good. Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink is refreshing, light sweet. Nice area to walk around Google campus!“
“A suitable place to gather with friends, the restaurant is very clean, the food is ok, the price is a bit higher than usual. Extremely delicious drinks, especially yogurt. beautiful decoration. Lots of parking but a bit narrowParking: Lots of parking but a bit narrow“
“I had to place orders for an event i coordinated and the food was perfect. The food was prepared in the time selected and the service at pick up was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend for great tasting food, friendly service and perfect for planning orders for big events.“
“Love this lil place. Ordered for pick up on my lunch hour. 1st time. Food was great wish i had time to eat there. Will def be BKParking: There were a few spots out front but taken. I parked around the corner since i was picking up. Not sure if it was a permit needed??“
“The coffee bean taste and aroma are evident with every sip, offering a fresh sensation. I like their balance of cappuccino —it’s foamy yet doesn’t overpower the espresso. Local, casual, relaxed vibes inside makes you feel like your go-to neighborhood coffee shop. Plenty of seats, with some outdoor seating available when weather permits. Baristas are friendly too.“
“I've enjoyed all of the sandwiches, wraps, and coffee drinks here. Solid tasting mochas. This is a good place to get some work done over a breakfast or lunch - Decent number of seating and outlets to plug into. A printer is on-site for a per-page cost. Staff is attentive and friendly.“
“1st time here and I just work around the corner. A hidden jem. The waitress was friendly and made my drink in minutes. The atmosphere is awesome with cool jams and plenty of seats and tables. I'll definitely be back here to to catch some light refreshment with teas, and popcorn chicken for my afternoon cravings.“
“A delightful new addition to the neighborhood.The owner a long time local resident. Has a passion and pride for his tea and new shop.Enjoyed some perfectly cooked popcorn chicken (mild) it juicy on the inside crispy on the outside with plenty of fried basil.They have a little station of different sauces for you to pick your own a compliment but it was perfectly nice on its own. And the place is overall inviting and clean. Even with a little bit of clutter behind the workspace it's clear they're still moving in.Also enjoyed a milk tea.It was perfectly balanced. Nice and cool very refreshing perfect for a hot San Jose day.I managed to get to speak with the owner for a while a very nice fellow. The place was not busy at all and that broke my heart a little bit. He said he was getting ready for the grand opening hopefully sometime soon and that they were still working out parts of the menu such as the sandwiches weren't available yet.As a fellow long-term resident of this neighborhood, who was disappointed with the previous tea shop at this location. The new owners and shop gave me hope for a quality boba house. Here to stay .I look forward to returning. And you've got a new regular customer.“
“Used to frequent this cafe when I lived in SoCal so I was happy to see them open up in the Bay Area. Ube flan cupcakes were just as good as I remember. Moist ube cupcake and a creamy flan topping. They had a buy 4 pastry get a free hibiscus calamansi cooler which was a sweet deal. If you're an ube fan, this place is a must.“
“Cute store with outside seating. Impressive macrons are good little desserts for those that don't want too much sugar. The outdoor seating provides a nice place for hanging out.The inside of the store could be a little more tidy and organized. Maybe consider hiding all the supplies from the customers' view.“
“Excellent Vietnamese and asian fusion food. Staff is very friendly and engaging. As long as it is not too busy, they would be happy to chat with you on a variety of topics. Fun place to hang out when there is a sports game on, or even to do some work outside of office. A variety of drink options too, and they are constantly upgrading their offerings.Parking: Go around the Walgreens’s and get to the back of the building, there is a large lot there and can access the back door.“
“Delicious high quality tasting tea! Boba balls are amazing quality too and have a great chew. The amosphere is relaxing with soft interiors and lighting. Fun for a group of friends or family to get together or for a solo trip. I got the merry berry drink and I would get again. Less sweetness was the perfect amount. Only downside was that a lot of the food was sold out by noon and it took a long time to wait for the drink, but there was little staff so it was understandable. Would still come again!“
“The outside of this neighborhood breakfast spot is nothing to brag about. But the service is great. I was greeted by a very friendly waitress, and you could hear her talking to her customers about her day, which made you feel welcome and gave a personal touch to the place. I ordered a Cali Benedict (which includes avocado), with a side pancake (it wasn't a side in the menu, but my waitress gave me the option). The eggs were perfectly poached, and the hash browns were not overly fried and cooked just right. A lot of restaurants burn their hash browns. The avocado was not ripe, it was a little too hard. The pancake was fluffy and decent. Overall, a good and friendly breakfast place.“
“First time at K's Café. I like how all the menu items are named after professional sports teams, although that makes me not want to order the Dodgers dish, haha. I devoured a delicious crepe stuffed with vegetables called Arsenal. It was pretty quiet inside when we arrived around 12pm on a Thursday. We could talk quietly even with a table of seven women chatting animatedly by the door. However, it became very noisy and crowded when a large number of students arrived from the high school across the street. I would avoid the school rush hour in the future. Prices were pretty high, but what else is new these days. Wheelchair access was good with space in the main walkway. We were able to choose a table at the end so there was enough room to maneuver the wheelchair. I forgot to take a photo of my meal before I started eating. My tastebuds were happy and my stomach was full when we left.“
“Nice boba place, clean and spacious. The kids were like "ooo fancy". I paid $1 extra and upgraded my drink to a bigger size and I never seen a boba drink that huge. Well worth that extra $1 upgrade. Nothing really special about the milk tea other the enormous large size. We also ordered 2 samplers (popcorn chicken, calamari, mozzarella stick, eggroll and fried mushroom) and the pandan waffle. I was surprised how good the samplers were. Being samplers, I guess the portion was decent except for the calamari. Can't really taste much of pandan in the waffle. Overall, a great hang out place to grab a drink and some snacks.“
“Serious breads and crunchy baguette. I love their Monkey Breads (sweet or savory). Make sure to try out their buttery Kouign-amann and indulgent muffins. Their sandwich - specifically the turkey sandwich - are generously served, and they have a nice selection of coffees and lattes to wash all of this down.“
