If you're in the mood for a deceptively appetizing cinnamon roll that ambushes you with the shocking realization that you just over-paid for a pastry that more appropriately should've been made available on your local grocery store's "day old specials" rack, then Greenlee's Bakery is the place for you! I normally wouldn't just "hammer" a business (especially a "mom & pop" establishment) like this with a mildly scathing(?) review, but holy crap... dried-out dough aside, they'd probably make a $killing$ if they could sell their cinnamon rolls with a side of "I could care less." I didn't even have the chance to ask for utensils in the time between having the stale treat tossed in a bag, slung my direction across the counter (while simultaneously showcasing the practiced audacity to flip the iPad & ask for a "service" tip), and reading the back of her shirt as the cashier pivoted to walk away- let alone a precious opportunity to beg for just a few seconds to allow my cinnamon roll to loiter in their unoccupied microwave! "...Yeah but... Context??" you ask? Here's context; This was the type of service that would otherwise get a pass when the place is slammed; not even remotely the case today. I was one of two (2) customers in the store. Maybe I just don't have visibility on how the onslaught of DoorDash & Uber Eats orders have highjacked the time allowed for face-to-face customer interaction?? Who knowsWhat I CAN tell you is that disappointment won the day at this "historic, family-owned business" in San Jose. If you're searching for a great cinnamon roll, you can do better. Greenlee's Bakery: DO BETTER. read more

Greenlee's Bakery - Cinnamon Roll - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

First time I have ever been there cause I didn't know the company that makes the most delicious cinnamon bread had a store! My husband liked his croissant breakfast sandwich. I was surprised at the unwelcoming reaction I got from both employees. First time I ever saw the menu, so I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted and it was obvious I wasn't quick enough. I hope I was the only one who received that kind of service. Maybe I came at a bad time when they just got bad news or something. I'll buy the bread again for sure at the grocery store but probably won't be a regular at the restaurant. A friendly disposition makes all the difference. read more

Stopped by here to grab a mocha while I waited for my breakfast burrito in Cafe Rosalina to be ready. The mocha was good. They also seemed to have a good selection of freshly baked breads and pastries on their menu, but I was here around 11am on a weekend, and their shelves were pretty empty. Might come back here again to try one of their breads. read more

I was in San Jose for the weekend and stopped by Greenlee's Bakery for breakfast. I ordered the Ham Bagel Breakfast Sandwich with a fresh-squeezed orange juice. The sandwich was filling and made for a satisfying breakfast, and the orange juice was fresh, sweet, and refreshing. It was a simple, delicious meal and a great way to start the day. I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in town. read more

Woke up late on a weekend in so much pain from my period and I just wanted a comforting breakfast burrito without a stupidly long wait. Went to Greenlee's bakery and it served!! There wasn't a lot of people just one family eating outside when we got there but our order did take a while. My partner got a breakfast sandwich and I got the veggie burrito. I probably could have eaten half of the burrito but I finished 3/4 of it. We each got a cinnamon beignet with our orders for free, and we also got a cookie and a pastry. We did have to remind them for the beignet but they were really good, even the day after! I can't say the same for the cookie though (even though it looks absolutely delightful with the huge chocolate chips) so I'd just stick to what they're famous for and get the beignets. read more

Greenlee's Bakery is a San Jose gem--and after 101 years, it's easy to see why they've stood the test of time! Their cinnamon bread is legendary. Street parking. Indoor seating available and they have a great outdoor seating area with umbrellas. We came in for breakfast and tried their breakfast burritos, which were generous in size and really well-priced. The flavors were on point, and their house salsas took it to the next level--fresh, flavorful, and with just the right kick. The chipotle was my favorite. To top it all off, they gave us complimentary cinnamon beignets made from their famous cinnamon bread dough!! Total surprise and SO good! They're more like donut holes, soft and packed with cinnamon sugar goodness. I would come back just for those alone. Can't wait to stop by again and try some of their pastries. Great food, great value, and a wonderful piece of San Jose history! read more

I read the previous reviews and I thought did we eat at the same place Hands down the breakfast Burrito was excellent I normally order the veggies burrito add jalapeños .. it was hot ... with plants of veggies .. great value almost to much food (and I am a big eater) I know people might think. They are expensive but you want quality you pay for it .. I just had a bacon breakfast sandwich again hit and great value well worth it And Greenlee's had changed my mind on burnt almond cake normally to seeet for my Greenlee's is perfect balance amd great tasting cake ..it is different than the other local bakery who makes this cake I prefer this version.. Overall. Great food and bake goods I rather spend a bit more money and get a quality item than affordable "ok" food Service is great read more

My favorite sit for a breakfast burrito and pastries. Excellent customer service and decent price.

I ordered a steak burrito to go for my lunch and then when I opened it at the office I was very disappointed to see it was not steak :(( I usually love this place for the steak burrito and their chipotle sauce, very unfortunate the cause the steak costs more than the other protein options. read more

When I read up on best breakfast burritos in San Jose, Greenlee's Bakery has always been on the list so I decided to finally see what it's all about. Let's just say it did not meet the hype. The burrito was meh and overpowered with chunky potatoes. And the orange sauce tasted sour. I'm not sure if it was just an off day or because it was a DoorDash order but I don't think I'll take my chances. Feel like there's better bfast burritos out there. read more

I love this bakery! I just moved into the neighborhood and every Sunday morning I go for a walk and end up visiting this very clean and nice bakery! They are very welcoming! That goes a long way with me! Kindness! I ordered a single white mocha hot and bacon breakfast burrito. Im hooked on the coffee! I must've gone almost everyday last week just for the coffee! It's not to strong yet very tasty! And just the amount of caffeine i need to start off the day! The bacon burrito pairs well with this if your not feeling anything pastry although you should definitely try there bear claw! All in all, and great bakery located on the alameda! Definitely give them a try and visit! read more

Great breakfast food and great bakery items as well! I was originally ordering from here through UberEats and GrubHub and I was never disappointed with anything I ordered. My favorite is the Greenlee's French Toast Breakfast which is their cinnamon bread made into a french toast. It's really good, sometimes I just order a slide of the French toast. During my first in-person visit, I saw their case of baked items and decided to try a few. The lady who helped me was very nice and patient since I was asking the flavors of the questions and how much things were. After buying a bag of a few cookies, I tried them in the car and they were really good! Their large cookies are less than $5 each, but they're really big cookies. My favorite are the smaller cookies! I believe they were 95 cents for 1 and they were really good too! Since my first experiences were delivered to me, I was a little nervous about where the parking would be. Luckily there's a parking lot in the back! The downside is that it's shared with a bunch of other businesses and some parking spots were marked/reserved for specific businesses. So unfortunately during rush hour, it's hard to find parking. The only other downside is that Greenlee's is only open until 2:00 PM. I understand that Greenlee's is more of a breakfast/brunch place, but it would be nice if they were open a little later so we can go after work on the weekdays. I definitely would like to come back on the weekend again to try more items! read more

Tasty food! Love the burritos, especially the steak one. Local and been around forever

I only can speak on the bread loafs here! OMG. Amazing. I have been missing out on their cinnamon breads. Perfectly balanced and just melts in my mouth when toasted with or without butter. read more

Finally had a chance to try the spot everyone's been telling me out. Just moved to the neighborhood and the recommendations to try this spot never end. And boy does it live up to the hype. The cinnamon smell that hits you is enough to fall in love. The beautiful pastries in their case made it difficult not to buy everything. This time around we tried a bacon breakfast sandwich, which comes with their famous orange sauce (chipotle garlic heaven). I would buy that sauce alone by the gallon. Additionally we tried their cheese danish and it was so rich and savory I was beyond satisfied. I cannot wait till our next trip! read more

After trying Greenlee's a few times, I definitely understand why it's a local favorite! Their breakfast burritos and well-known cinnamon bread are absolutely delicious. I usually go for the chorizo burrito which has a perfect ratio of meat, eggs, and potatoes. Pair that with one of their salsas... delicious! I also appreciate how their orange sauce isn't overly spicy and has the right amount of kick. I'm usually not a fan of sweet breakfasts, but their cinnamon bread is quite addicting. I do remember seeing some Greenlee's loaves sold at local grocery stores. The orange juice was refreshing as well. Definitely will consider coming to this place in person when I get the chance. Can't speak on the service or ambiance since we ordered through a food delivery app. read more

I discovered this great little bakery around 3 months ago. My goto is the almond cake. Absolutely delicious, makes my taste buds dance. Never disappointed...until today. Got a piece to go, tipped and out the door. Got home and saw only a half of piece in the container, yet paid full price. I'll return, love the cake, but whoever is slicing up the cake needs be more attentive to equal proportions. read more

I was walking Alameda with some family and I never been to this bakery before they said let's go. It's really good and we went. I saw they had food on the menu and I wanted to order some food. I haven't eaten yet today. I told her what I wanted to order and she said the kitchen is closed just selling the pastries and I asked her. What time do they usually close the kitchen she said too so they close like 30 minutes early. I don't think that's fair to customers if you close at two close at two, not before and I'm a first-time customer and she made a sound under her breath and rolled her eyes my family sat down at the table and I went next-door to get some food and I brought it over and we sat at a table and we ate the pastries and the food I got she comes out to us not the other people saying that we need to leave we're closing in She didn't mention anything about what time they're closing. I didn't know my first time there she was like well you could've googled it and then she got attitude and just unacceptable behavior. She could've said you can see you for like five or 10 minutes to finish your food because we did pay in purchase pastries from this bakery. She just wanted us gone. I felt so disrespected and rushed, and it was a terrible disgusting experience. That lady that works there very high school needs to learn proper communication with customers. I would never be coming back here again. The whole experience was awful. read more

Can't wait to come back here for some more goodies! I was craving a breakfast burrito and in my search it led me to Greenlee's.

The cheese danish was easily the best one I've ever had and the cinnamon roll was delicious also. I'd love to come back and get some more sweet treats.

Greenlee's has some of the best breakfast burritos that I've had in the South Bay Area. Most definitely a must go to.

A Community favorite! I've been eating Greenlee's special raisin cinnamon bread since I was a youngster. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My grandmother would usually get a small loaf and we'd be on our best behavior asking her for a slice "toasted please with lotsa butter "! This bakery has serious history in San Jose. It had been around for a long time. Do yourself a favor and be kind to your tastebuds (and your family's) by buying a loaf. Support local businesses! read more

Delicious food and comfortable location. Good and fast service! Definitely recommend the pastries and cookies.

One of the best breakfast sandwiches and hot chocolate I've ever had! Soooo good! One of my new fav spots in SJ!

Nice casual cafe-esque bakery for grab and go and a wonderful spread of loaves. Though their thing is baked goodies, they seem to also have a spread of foods and caffeinated drinks. Their specialty is cinnamon bread, which is strangely without a menu so you gotta ask for that directly. Since we were more in the mood for a smaller portion than a whole loaf we opted for a white mocha, cheese danish, and a waffle. Folks behind the counter were extremely welcoming, friendly, and quite helpful figuring out what our options entailed. White mocha - 3.5/5 Solid mocha, but not too remarkable otherwise. Coffee isn't the strongest flavor nor is the chocolate flavor very noticeable. Works well enough as a drink to go, but not something I'd come out of the way for. Waffle - 4/5 Served either plain (what we got) or with more savory breakfast fixings (egg and bacon). Solid waffle, but misses the mark on its execution a bit. The concept is using dough from their cinnamon bread, but it's remarkably dense. Definitely sweet enough on its own, but without additional fixings it ends up a tad dry (it does come with syrup, but I wasn't looking for more sweet). Doesn't quite get crisp enough even with a fresh waffle so it doesn't quite hit that fix. Cheese Danish - 5/5 A smidge sweet for me, but wonderfully creamy filling and flaky with a touch of crunchy (I think sugar crystals on top). Gets much better with a refresh in the oven, yet still pretty good to munch on at room temp. Of the things we got this was firmly the winner in the batch and it wasn't just a relative comparison either. read more
