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!

Matcha

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

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.

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.

Avocado toast
Shaguna W.

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
Katie R.

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).

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

I discovered Kenz a couple of years ago when my son was playing flag football at Leigh, and I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the Palestinian flag they proudly display, as they absolutely should. I love this place and come back as often as I can. I'm proud to support a Palestinian-owned business, and I recognize that proudly embracing their heritage in today's climate can come with unfair challenges and even hostility. That's all the more reason I'm happy to continue showing my support for Kenz. And while their matcha & coffee is absolutely worth coming back for, my support goes beyond that. My only gripe is the empanadas are gone and those were the best ever, nothing compares to those.

Kenz has a good amount of coffee/tea options, but overall a simple menu. Didn't see any food options when I came, but perhaps they were just out. Seating is all outdoors, some of it is covered and some of it was not, a mix of patio seating and small tables/counter seating, with artificial turf as ground cover. Since it's all outdoors, pets were welcome! I tried the matcha latte and the maple cardamon latte off the fall specials menu (on recommendation from the barista). I enjoyed both drinks - surprisingly the matcha was less sweet than I expected (not complaining about that), as most places tend to make sure its sweet enough for the clientele. The maple cardamon was a great fall drink (definitely recommend it hot vs iced), but didn't really stand out to me in terms of flavor, it was also on the sweeter side but I expect that for specialty lattes. Price was on par with other coffee places in the bay, not on the cheap side. I'd definitely come back to get the matcha again and try other latte flavors!

While out shopping, my wife and I came across BLVD Coffee and remembered a friend mentioning it…read morebefore--so I figured, why not give it a try? As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time. After we confirmed, he asked about our coffee preferences--strong, sweet, or somewhere in the middle--and walked us through the seasonal menu with some great suggestions. My wife ordered the iced lavender vanilla, and I went with the iced café carmelita. He also asked if we wanted food, so we tried the lemon blueberry loaf and a turkey avocado sandwich. Everything did not disappoint. The drinks were amazing--Enrique absolutely nailed the recommendations--and the turkey avocado sandwich was especially memorable. While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great. The team was super friendly and attentive--when a line started forming, other staff jumped in right away to make sure no one was left waiting. I'm really glad we stopped in and gave this place a shot. We'll definitely be back!

This review is about Eva, the lovely store manager. She greets us with a warm smile every time…read more She's friendly and knowledgeable, goes above and beyond to service her customers. It's very rare to find people who are super cognizant of dietary restrictions but Eva takes it to the next level. She noticed we were ordering drinks without dairy so she let us know when we added a foam that had dairy in it. This was so appreciated because my daughter has an allergy where she breaks out in painful rashes when she has even a small amount of dairy. Then on a different visit weeks later she noticed again we had ordered a beverage that contained a pumpkin foam and so she let us know it had dairy in it. Then she worked with us to create an alternate drink without any dairy. Most people just make whatever drink you order without question and often even when we emphasize our allergy, things get overlooked. It can be difficult to navigate when eating out but people like Eva make it so much more enjoyable.

New weekend, so I tried another boba place! This one is in a busy complex off Almaden Expressway,…read morewith lots of competing businesses (including an Ume tea two doors down that I'll have to check out in the future). This is one of those complexes that has a large parking lot, but I feel like everyone drives too aggressively. Easy enough to find parking. When I walked in, I was greeted in a friendly manner, which is not always something that happens in tea shops. I ordered the lychee tea with lychee, and got it at half sweetness, and it was perfectly refreshing. Drinks are made quickly and efficiently. They do have a bit of space if you want to sit and drink, but it is not really a spot where I could see someone socializing or studying.
