Bacon Burrito
Carolina R.

We landed in San Jose early in the morning and when I looked up places that have good breakfast burrito, Morning Lobby came up so we had to try it. We went in around 9am on Saturday and there was no line, we took our order and grabbed our seat right away. They are also really fast with service, we got our food and drink within like 5-8 min of ordering. The Iced Vienna came recommended by the employee taking the order, it was strong, we had to add drops of water to dilute it but it was good! The bacon burrito was the start of the meal! It comes with 2 sauces but we actually liked the burrito itself without any sauces. It had good flavor throughout and had plenty of bacon which we appreciated. The place itself was super cute and lively! Great place to get a bite with great food.

The ambiance here is chic with feminine tones and cozy outdoor seating. Expect to find this place busy even during a weekday when you would think folks are at work. And why wouldn't they come here when the iced coffee drinks are served like a cocktail and, forgive me for using this term, but it's 'Super Cute'. My suggestion is 'relax, dine in, enjoy the vibes'. It's a lovely place to spend a little time and regroup or decompress or what have you. We all need a 'cwoffee' and a bit of cuteness on a daily when life seems crazy. Have some of the toast options like the one I tried with the ricotta cheese, blueberry and a wildflower honey drizzle ..... "divine, girls. Just divine." The plaza it's located in is a bit of struggle to find parking but once you do ... you won't regret the experience. Enjoy!

Nice little Cafe off of Almaden Expressway in a small shopping center. Came on a Friday morning before picking up my bib for a race and it was busy. They have small indoor seating, but very spacious outdoor seating. This place has a nice vibe to it. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious. They enhanced the sandwich using midwife baker brioche and adding caramelized onions. Very flavorful and had the right amount of cheese to onions ratio. Also got a iced cafe miel ( Honey, cinnamon, double shot of espresso with oat milk, but I used whole milk). Not too strong or sweet. Overall nice cafe spot with some breakfast sandwiches or burrito.

breakfast burrito (green sauce was my favorite)

This was such a cute & wonderful experience. We ended up here randomly as I was getting my car serviced not too far and we Ubered to the closest breakfast spot. I was on the hunt for a good breakfast burrito & was led here by reviews. Super super busy on a Saturday morning but we didnt wait more than like 15-20 mins. We were told to move up inside to place our order and shortly after we placed our order one of the tables opened up & we got seated. Service is very fast paced but friendly. I was satisfied with my breakfast burrito. My mom had the birria burrito but she said it was too heavy for her--maybe not the best idea for a burrito. Would definitely be back if in the area

This place is pretty busy on the weekends!! There is a line for a table however it goes pretty fast and their interior and patio area are bigger than it initially looked. They have a bunch of different coffees and matcha drinks, and lots of breakfast options! You order at the counter once the hostess finds you a table and then the cashier gives you a table number for you to put at your table. I think this makes everything go faster since they just have to bring your food to your table. The breakfast sandwiches were really good and loaded with lots of ingredients and very flavorful! The lattes were good , but the cherry matcha latte was very good!! You could taste the hint of cherry in it! They have a lot of seasonal drinks that are on the menu in front of the register as well! Clearly, this place is very popular, seeing as the line never died down the whole time we were there!

Tried Morning Lobby for the first time and had a really great experience! It was pretty busy with a line, but we were greeted right away, given menus, and seated in the waiting area until our order was taken. The atmosphere was really nice, and the waiting area had comfortable seating and great decor. We got the birria bowl, a burger, and matcha to go. The birria bowl was delicious, with great toppings and a spicy sauce that had a nice touch of sweetness. The rice was soft and fluffy, and the burger was juicy and perfectly seasoned. Even the to-go packaging was really unique. Overall, great food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite restaurant experiences in the San Jose area!

TOGO: Birria burrito + matcha latte + vienne latte
Kimi C.

Dropped by on a Friday morning (~10:30am), and there was definitely still a line! I opted for takeout. If you're ordering takeout, just head inside and find someone with the handheld device to order. The line outside is for dine-in. For takeout, I received my order in 15-20 minutes. They are super busy so I try to give some grace but they were a little too scatter-brained for me. I gave my name when I ordered, but then the same lady came up to me multiple times asking if I was someone else & each time I had to correct her, "Michelle? Alma? What did you order?" At one point she even came out to ask how much I paid & when the transaction went through. I later found out it was because they couldn't find my order... regardless, it wasn't a good look on them. Their food saved them! The birria burrito is delicious & does not feel like they're skimping out on you!! The matcha latte comes unsweetened and was not bad, but a little watered down. The vienna latte has a nice sweet cream top but I'm not a fan of the coffee beans they use -- it has a fruitier/acidic taste, but I think a deeper nutty flavor would better fit the drink.

Morning Lobby is such a cute brunch and coffee spot in San Jose. The space is bright, airy, and very aesthetic, with soft colors, pretty seating, and both indoor and outdoor areas. It definitely feels like one of those places that's made for catching up with friends over coffee and taking a few photos. We tried the breakfast sandwich, smoked salmon toast, egg toast, matcha, iced coffee, and Vienna latte. Everything was delicious! It does get busy, so I'd recommend coming earlier to avoid the crowd. The food is more on the pretty café brunch side, and the portions aren't huge, but the overall vibe makes it a fun spot for brunch, coffee, and photos.

Food was excellent! My matcha and food came quickly & everyone was friendly. I thought the place had a cute feminine vibe & not only did the place look pretty, the food matches up to the price & place! will be coming back again and im definitely craving this matcha

Avocado toast

Had a nice coffee catch up with friends at Morning Lobby. The cafe is beautiful with plenty of seating if you come early. The selection of coffee is simple and delicious without too many frills. I had the pour over which was perfect My friends had earl grey tea and latte which they enjoyed. We shared a few small plates: avocado toast with a perfect poached egg , lemon blueberry mascarpone toast and a croissant. The toasts were delicious and filling but the croissant was a bit dry. Best was the service. Wow so incredible. The server was so kind and helpful. Brought everything to the table and even extras as we needed them. Promptly removed plates and kept the table clear. More than I was expecting at a cafe.

Oil that came out after 2 bites "no it's not juice, it's oil"

Morning lobby: I really really wanted to like this place especially after seeing so many great photos and reading positive reviews. Unfortunately they fell way flat. They take your order at counter, self serve seating. They have inside and outside seating, we sat outside "traffic is super noisy" recommend sitting inside. The inside looks... well.... For lack of a better word..... sterile. I ordered the Birria burrito: The size was average, I felt it was overpriced for what they give you. The burrito was Super, SUPER oily, I mean, Exxon Valdez oily "see pictures" and its flavor I found lacking $17.00 2 stars. Salmon with scrambled egg: I felt that the salmon and egg toast was priced way better than the Birria burrito. While it looked amazing, the Salmon tasted fishy, old, and parts of the toast was rock hard $17.50 2 stars. Tatter tots: The Tots IMO were very good, not oily at all and a $6.50 price point I felt was a reasonable price, 4 stars. Double espresso: Bitter but not in a good way, the taste was weak "not rich" no body at all $4.50 2 stars tops. Total bill for said items $50.05 tip not included.

Outside seating

Cute brunch spot in an unassuming location! Even though it's right on a busy road, they did a good job creating a separation and taking you out of the area. I came on a weekday morning and was glad I did because there was a very short line, unlike all the pictures I saw on Yelp. There were only a few people in front of me and the line moved very quickly. Two of us ordered the Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, Birria breakfast burrito, and Blueberry mascarpone toast to share. This was plenty of food, but we really wanted to try a variety from the menu. The burrito was loaded up with meat and avocado, something I'd usually be thrilled by, but there weren't a lot of eggs or tots, so it was a little rich. Still good though, and based on pictures of the burritos, not usually the norm. The breakfast sandwich was fine, but I'd choose the burrito over it. And the toast was good, but definitely more of an accompaniment than a meal. They had plenty of seating inside and outside on the covered porch on the side side and in the front. We opted to sit in the front because it was a little quieter (less people talking).

salmon toast
Terri S.

The toasts here were fairly good, but it was sure pricey for a smaller portion. I will say, this restaurant has cute personality, and it had good outdoor seating. The workers were real nice and got the lines moving quick. My friend and I arrived here before the crowd started to build. So we got pretty lucky and even got our food fast too.

Bacon breakfast burrito! Love that they give 2 sauces; green and orange.

As soon as we entered, even though there were other diners, the staff asked if my kids wanted to play a cartoon on the projector wall. They were ecstatic . Immediately had Foreign Cinema vibes for us but better! Cocktail menu is their focus, there are a few few wines as well as bottled beers no draft. The menu including their specials was so enticing. It was hard to decide on what to eat. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were perfectly crispy without being too greasy. It had a mustard sauce and pork belly, but neither of those were over powering . I just wish the dish was a bit bigger since we all enjoyed it ! Omg the butternut squash soup - they blended it so that there's a light froth and it feels a little airy in your mouth. It was still richly flavorful and creamy as well and came with some fresh focaccia to dip. I'm not always a fan of octopus, depending on how it's prepared. but their Octopus comes with one full thick arm, and was super tender and scrumptious. The burger was really good, apparently they have a kids version too. Ooh the Salmon entrée was amazing. The salmon itself was perfectly cooked and tender.. but what I really loved was the black rice it came on top of which had shiitake mushrooms and other deliciousness fried into it. I could've just had a bowl of that rice for dinner and then satisfied. The only downside is that the interior is pretty small and once a big group came in it was so loud that we would have to shout to hear each other. They do have outdoor patio seating, which is actually quite nice. There are Christmas lights up right now and it is a closed street so would be lovely dining option for an evening that is not too chilly. Service was great - super friendly positive attentive staff Will be back for sure !

It was perfect for an early morning to give me energy and the cheese and egg blended so well together and the pesto cheese was actually really good with it. They ran out of jalapeño cheese bagels, which is my favorite around eight in the morning for a Saturday, but I'm glad I got to try another flavor. The people here are really nice. I was debating between two cream cheese flavors and then they said I could do half-and-half which I loved. The Greek goddess spread is also amazing. Same with the honey walnut. I even got little chunks of walnut in the cream which I did not expect. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a little store with chairs and tables outside where you can eat at.

We made a reservation ahead of time since we didnt want to wait to be seated on a Saturday. When we first got there at 1 pm, it was super busy. They were getting the table ready when we got there. We ate and lingered for awhile and by the time we left, the lunch crowd was dying down. Service was friendly and great despite them being so busy. I ordered the fish tacos and they were good. Not the best I have ever had, but good nevertheless. I was surprised that the tacos had a flour tortilla. I didn't really read the description on the menu, I just saw fish tacos and knew that's what I wanted for lunch. A fish taco on a flour vs corn tortilla is a debate, it just comes to personal preference but it does change the flavor. I prefer corn tortillas but I did enjoy these tacos on a flour tortilla. The fish was crispy, but I felt like something was missing overall from the tacos...seasoning, maybe? My friends all enjoyed their meal selections. Portions were decent for the price and the prices were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit inside since it was sooo hot and we wanted to be cool as we were enjoying our meal.

I tried the Eggs Benedict... the sauce was okay and the hashbrowns were decent. They're cooked with onion, which was a good addition.

I also had a vanilla latte, it was good but with a huge espresso machine like they have, they should have way more options for drinks. The atmosphere is nice. It's a huge restaurant, with great lighting. The outside seating looks just as nice as the inside. It's a nice neighborhood so the outside seating is a good option. I won't be back. The food was just not worth it.
