    Dry burger patties and bacon. Fries were very good though.
    Claudia L.

    If I were rating this for staff and ambiance this place would be 5 stars. The staff is friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself spacious and very clean. Rating the food, on just the burger, is quite a bit lower. The burger patties and bacon were both VERY dry. The bacon was much more like jerky. and the patties were so tough they tasted reheated. The burgers at Five Guys are significantly better. The fries were really well done and crispy! The best part of the plate. Their other dishes look promising, so if I come back I would definitely order something else.

    Great place to grab a coffee, tea, shake, breakfast and brunch. The gal takes great care in details and quality of drinks, good and service. Food is delicious, I've had the aci bowl, breakfast sandwich and burrito. Love the cold brew with the sweet foam on top!! The decor is fun, calm and really represents that area of San Jose. Great for locals as it's within walking distance for me and something to travel to.

    Patience is needed initially, especially during the weekend brunch rush. The food choices are very good, seems like the menu has been simplified from a few years back. I agree that a better check in system would go a long way to improve things, however we were treated in order and got a spot. Nice music selevtiins and the inside has been well maintained (or upgraded from my last visit). The Date/Banana Smoothie/ Shake is very tasty, although it is made with real dates and could contain unexpected fiber. I was able to throw together exactly what zi wanted from the side menu without the typical up charge. The food was great! Pictures below.

    Chorizo Omlette
    Amanda P.

    OMG. If I could come here for brunch everyday, I would be here every, single, day. iJava has quickly become a personal favorite when I'm in the area with my friends. The service here is incredible, staff is super attentive, friendly and quick. I found myself chatting with the staff about coffee and lattes more than chatting with my friends at some points. You can tell they really respect the craft and enjoy what they do. Plenty of tables available indoor and outdoor. Restaurant layout is beautiful, lots of large windows for natural sunlight and decor that matches the vibe of the place. For brunch, I had the Chorizo Omelette and the Matcha Tea Latte. The latte came out first, I ordered it hot and it was presently so beautifully. The perfect amount of earthy flavors and the oat milk was fantastic with it. The Chorizo Omelette had my mouth salivating. I thought it smelled good but it tasted even better. Chorizo was spicy but not overpowering. All the veggies and toppings blended in the omelette very well. It was a popular choice and I can see why customers love it! Please give iJava a chance next time you're looking for your next brunch destination. Staff never pushed us to finish up, always refilled our coffees and drinks without having to ask and really wanted you to enjoy your stay. Incredible service and great food!

    Roast Half Chicken
    Susan N.

    The place is open all day now and so we had to try the dinner menu! I've been here a couple of times but only for the breakfast items, so I'm excited about what they have to offer! Roast Half Chicken(8/10): The chicken was huge and very delicious! I will say it was a little dry, but the sauce made up for it! The sauce was sour and salty because of the capers and I thought the flavors were nicely balanced. The vegetables were good, but nothing to rave over. The rice was good as well, but I felt like it needed a little salt. Service(10/10): Our server was very nice, friendly, and helpful! They made sure to check up on us and helped us whenever we needed it! Overall, a really good place to go to whether it's for breakfast or dinner!

    Side of swedish pancakes and pistachio latte on the side
    Leilani Q.

    The staff was really nice and accommodating. Parking is plentiful at this location. Large patio seating and a bunch of food items to choose from. Meat lover omelet: fluffy eggs, nice amount of fillings, wish the hash browns were even more well done Swedish pancakes: very tasty, tender and light, went well as the sweet side to other salty entrees Definitely recommend this spot for breakfast and they accommodate larger parties as well

    Breakfast Chilaquiles
    Serena S.

    I'm giving it 5 stars for the great value breakfast! I paid $20 for a hearty meal that I ended up eating in two sittings because it is so filling (including tip). I popped in for a quick hit and ordered their chorizo chilaquiles. The server suggested to have the egg cooked over easy, which was a good call because the runny yolk added a level of creaminess to the dish. The salsa sauce on the tortilla chips is spicy! Also served with black beans and garnished with queso and jalapeño slices. Service is prompt and pleasant. Place is clean and has outdoor seating too.

    South of the Border Omelette
    Angela L.

    We came here multiple times. The service is good. The food is decent. They have a variety of coffee options. I especially like their courtyard, which is very suitable for large families and a fresh smell of California morning. This place is also very child-friendly. Usually there's not much waitline as this place has plenty of seats. You can eat either inside or outside.

    Turkey, Egg & Cheese
    Marisa V.

    I've been to this spot a few times and enjoyed my meals each time. This particular instance we were greeted and sat right away as the restaurant wasn't too busy. The restaurant doesn't get too noisy and there's plenty of space between tables. We both ordered the turkey and egg and cheese sandwich with avocado. I got the iced pistachio latte and my friend ordered a matcha latte. The sandwich is a great portion and adding the avocado was a great touch. I love the pistachio latte and this was the primary reason for my return. Overall, this is a great spot to come for breakfast and staff is attentive and kind.

    Chicken Katsu Burrito with a side salad
    Abby C.

    I came on New Year's Day with some friends to enjoy some good coffee and food. This was my first time visiting this location and I love the large space. There are outdoor and indoor seating areas. We were sat immediately and placed our orders within a reasonable time. This cafe has a great variety of food and has halal meats. I ordered a pistachio latte with oat milk and a chicken katsu burrito. The pistachio latte has a wonderful and rich taste. I couldn't stop drinking it. If you order one coffee item please try this. The chicken katsu burrito had a wonderful flavor. The burrito had kimchi fried rice, a poached egg, chicken katsu, spinach, katsu sauce, and chipotle mayo. I must say, it was a little messy and slightly greasy. It wasn't bad but if you are trying to remain clean while eating, be careful. The staff were all so nice and regularly ensured our water cups were full. I will for sure return to this location with my friends in the future.

    Cappuccino and Tiger Spiced Chai
    Saba D.

    Delicious breakfast and brunch spot! The best thing about this spot is that they have a variety of breakfast options I would call it an international dishes from American bfast to Mexican, Mediterranean and Swedish! The food tastes great too. The coffee and tea we had were good stuff. I highly recommend this place. Super friendly service and nice atmosphere.

    Friend's crepe with fruit and ice cream
    Melissa K.

    Met up with friends (10 people in total) since they were home for the holidays for brunch and I've wanted to try this spot for a while. Pros- the servers were super friendly. Everyone we interacted with was quite nice. The restaurant is a decent size when considering both inside and outside seating... we were given a table pretty quickly and given the size of our party, that was great! The menu is extensive, there's a lot to choose from in regard to breakfast and lunch options. Their house made wheat bread was good, the creamy butter was even better! Cons- the food was ok. Nothing wowed me, outside of the creamy butter (no joke- that was some tasty butter!) I ordered the CA omelette and added in additional vegetables, the vegetables were fresh, which was really nice, but the egg portion was on the dry side, slightly overcooked. One friend ordered gluten free bread with her breakfast, and even though we mentioned it was missing twice, it never appeared. I did enjoy the wheat bread though... and of course, the butter! The meat selection for breakfast sides were also limited. I didn't know this place was halal before going, so was curious why it served beef bacon as opposed to pork bacon. Also all their sausage options had Jalapeño in them, which since I can't eat spicy, was limiting for me. One friend ordered the steak, it didn't have the nice sear you'd expect from a well cooked steak. At least, while we passed it down the table, I didn't see a sear. I picked the spot and while happy with some areas, don't believe I'd come back.

It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air and made for a really relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has a great vibe overall, especially if you're looking for an outdoor brunch. (Have not been inside) I ordered the steak chilaquiles, and I'd give them a 8.5/10. The flavors were really good, the sauce was delicious, and I liked the addition of the eggs, avocado, and queso. My only complaint was the steak. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well, a bit dry and was tougher than expected, making it difficult to cut. It was still tasty--just not cooked quite the way I was hoping. The mimosas were good too, a great value. Nothing that really stood out as amazing, but definitely nothing bad about them either--they got the job done. What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server Rebecca was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly quick throughout the meal. They checked in at the right times, answered our questions confidently, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being overbearing. Overall, I'd come back, especially to sit on the patio again. With a more tender steak, this meal would've easily been an 8.5 or 9 out of 10!! :)

I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat.

Just never got around to working a review before. Went early on a Saturday evening recently and was surprised to not have to wait. We split a Bibb lettuce salad that was simple, refreshing and perfect. A tiny pea fritter was the very definition of a small bite, and while it wasn't what I expected, it was crisp and tender. Grilled artichoke was one of the best I have ever had. (Just wish they had been explicit on the menu that it was a half a grilled artichoke). Cocktails were up to their usual high standard -- rye Manhattan for the BF and clarified milk punch for me. I don't get out much these days and I rarely drink alcohol, but is $20 a lot for a cocktail? Or is that normal now? They were great though. BF got the ribeye with morels, which was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. I had the burger, which was more exciting than it sounds, dressed with a wild combo of veggies, cheese and bacon while still managing to be harmonious and fresh tasting. Side of fries were crisp and tasty, though not as perfectly hot as I would ideally wish. Because the burger was late coming out, or server (Bernardo I think?) comped us an amazing little dish of vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, along with the butterscotch pudding that we ordered. The pudding didn't have the strong butterscotch flavor that I hoped for, but the vanilla ice cream stole the dessert show. OCK isn't a place I can afford often, but I still really like it. I appreciate the creativity of the dishes, the quality ingredients, and the bar. And the old-school shopping center vibe of the Pruneyard is low key festive and garden-like. The interior of the restaurant is kind of standard-industrial modern, but nicely so. Oh, and their glassware is super nice.

Our server Katherine N was outright hostile and messed up our order on top of having a really rude and unprofessional attitude. Bummer.

The rest of the wait staff is lovely, and we look forward to some improvements in the menu intentionality and execution as well as said outlier staff member, as this restaurant has been a favorite in our family for over five years.
