    Such a hype on tik tok and tried their burritos and it was a fail two thumbs down for me. Good customer service. Hard to find parking and burrito was colder than ice, i should of just returned it when i cut it in half and the cheese wasnt even melted. Very disappointed. Pastrys are good but pricey for what it is.

    Veggie Breakfast Burrito
    Fumika T.

    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.

    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!

    Enjoyed the vibe of this bakery! Service was wonderful. Ordered a steak breakfast burrito with orange sauce. It was pretty delicious! I really enjoyed the orange sauce too which definitely enhanced the experience. I would come back to try their pastries and other baked goods :)

    This is the female that wanted to act like she's in high school and have unprofessional disrespectful attitude

    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.

    Steak Breakfast Burrito
    Jasmine P.

    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.

    Almond cake.
    Jeff W.

    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.

    Bacon breakfast burrito. Eggs bacon potatoes And cheese
    John G.

    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!

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

    Yes! Their Dutch Crunch bread is fantastic and really inexpensive!

    I've seen their bread at Nob Hill and Whole Foods. Not sure about Farmer's Markets at this time

    I love coming here for focaccia at the bakery. They have a great selection of vegan breads, and…read moreeverything is clearly marked, so you won't accidentally buy a non-vegan item. I also love that they sell Felicia organic Italian pasta. Their red lentil penne is my absolute favorite. I also buy the chickpea fusilli and decided to try out the brown rice and spirulina spaghetti this time around. I love that it's made with organic whole grains and legumes filled with nutrients. I haven't found it at any other store, so I always stock up when I go to Eataly. It gets packed inside so it can be pretty hard to maneuver around when you're actually shopping. The self-checkout line moves pretty fast. I wish they had more vegan candy and snack options like Fida Bonelle jellies and Puntini Italian jujubes. I was looking for vegan Nocciolata but did not see it, perhaps it was out of stock? Not sure but I'd expect them to have it.

    Eataly is a great concept, and I really enjoy their special events and grocery/wine selection. I…read morewould rate those aspects 5/5 stars. I've made my review today 3 stars because of their restaurants. I booked an outdoor table at Terra for a birthday celebration, but we were seated inside due to the outdoor area being fully booked. While I understand Friday evenings are busy and changes can happen, I was disappointed by the restaurant's response when I asked if they could honor our reservation. The food was hit or miss. We really enjoyed the vegetarian ravioli and burrata appetizer, but the chicken skewers were undercooked and not seasoned. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking out Eataly for their special events, but would skip dining at the sit down restaurants!
