Food was amazing (carne asada benedict and porky egg's benedict) were my personal favorites. It was so good the first day we went, we decided to go back again the second day! Husband and daughter both really enjoyed the burgers with fries. The service was quick and very friendly! We will definitely visit again next flight to San Jose!

We go here weekly, and it's our fav breakfast spot. The food is always good, portions are great and the staff is incredible. Charlotte and the other waitresses are so friendly and welcoming. We love the staff, food and overall experience and will continue to eat here! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a warm, friendly experience with great breakfast!

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.

The mood here is always very relaxed and homey. The waiters treat you like family and it's always very fun. The food is delicious. I would recommend the chocolate pancakes if you have a sweet tooth, and everything else is a decent option. The place is definitely one of my go tos and consistently delivers. I would definitely recommend!

We took my boyfriend's mom out for brunch/lunch since it's her birthday on 12/2/23. We arrived around 11am and beat the lunch rush by a few mins. We were able to grab a spot inside. This small diner has vintage and antique photos of San Jose. Service here was busy but the food didn't take long after we placed our order. The boyfriend and I went for the steak with eggs. His mom went for the Belgian Waffles with fruits. The steak with eggs and potatoes were seasoned well and the steak was tender. They give a thick piece but the steak was cooked how we liked it and had good seasoning. Overall the food tasted delicious and service was good despite being busy.

Café San Jose is a lovely neighborhood diner. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. the staff is friendly and efficient, but overworked. I'm sure our waitress is dead on her feet at the end of the day. Be sure to tip generously! The menu is extensive, food is good and the portions are ample. The diner is clean and neat and the wall decor is very interesting. You will see collages of Old San Jose. Take time to look them over while you await your meal. The restroom is clean and serviced even though the restaurant was busy. Parking is a breeze because the restaurant is in a strip mall with a large lot. Look for the very large Goodwill sign. This is the largest Goodwill store I have ever seen and it is on one end of the strip mall making the location easy to find.

An underrated brunch spot that has a diner like vibe, similar to Bills Cafe and Uncle John's Pancake. I do prefer Uncle John's Pancake more because of the service and quality of food. However, if you don't want to wait that long, Cafe San Jose is good because of the price and portions. Our server was catering to multiple tables outdoors so it felt like the wait for the food took quite some time to come out. Menu selection is overwhelming. So many options!! I'm a benedicts girl so I had to try the carne asada benedict and my friend got the carne asada sandwich with garlic fries. Lol we didn't plan on both getting carne asadas! I asked for extra crispy hash-browns but it was still cooked like normal and wasn't even that crispy. Hollandaise sauce was super good! Muffin was soft and not soggy. I just wished the carne asada wasn't overcooked. Garlic fries were definitely garlicky and extra crispy. Sooo gooood. Overall, not a bad brunch spot.

Wonderful diner to sit back relax and enjoy some nice comfort breakfast/brunch bites. Parking can get tight at times though there will always be a spot or two that you can get to grab. We went in just before noon for a quick brunch. Got seated outside and were approached for placing an order right away in a courteous manner. We ordered a couple of modified speciality Benedicts. One of them consisted of House potatoes along side english muffins topped with poached eggs, spinach , salmon bites (IIRC it was Salmon and not crab cakes scrambled) topped with some sour cream and Hollandaise sauce. The other order was again a benedict which had hash browns on the side while the muffins and the remaining part remained the same as first order. The taste was great and the a cup of black tea really complemented it well for me. Took our time to finish the meal and were presented with the check right after which we took care of and headed out. All in all a great experience which i definitely would like to repeat on one of those days where you feel relaxed and crave for some good comfort food!!!
