On our last morning in San Jose, we had to check out of our hotel by 11 a.m., but we didn't have to…read morebe at the airport until 1, so we decided to find somewhere nearby for a little brunch before heading to the airport. We honestly didn't do much research--we just searched what was close by, saw that Whisper's had crêpes, and thought, Yep, that's where we're going!
It ended up being a great choice. The restaurant was an easy walk from our hotel, which made it perfect for our last morning. They have both indoor and patio seating, and we found a nice outdoor table that had a mix of shade and sunshine--pretty much the perfect San Jose morning.
The ordering process was a little different than I expected. Even though it's a sit-down restaurant where they bring your food to you, you actually order at the counter like you would at a fast-food restaurant. They give you a number to take to your table, and then your food is brought out. We waited less than 15 minutes for our food, so the whole process was really quick.
One thing I thought was especially nice is that SJSU students, teachers, and staff receive a discount. If you're connected to San Jose State, definitely ask about it when you order!
My daughter ordered a hamburger and fries and absolutely devoured the burger. The fries weren't anything particularly special, but the burger was a hit. It did come with what felt like an entire head of lettuce, though! We ended up taking quite a bit of it off because there was just so much.
I ordered the eggs over easy with ham and their potatoes, and the combination was fantastic. I also got two pieces of lightly buttered white toast, and I know toast doesn't sound exciting, but it was actually really good. I ate both pieces with a little grape jelly and had no complaints!
Of course, we couldn't leave without trying a crêpe, so we split the Dolce Sweet Crêpe for dessert. This was definitely my favorite part of the meal. It was absolutely delicious, and the walnuts were my favorite part. I could have eaten the whole thing myself.
After we finished eating, we just sat outside for a little while and enjoyed the beautiful weather before heading back to grab our things and make our way to the airport. The staff was attentive, plates were cleared quickly, and the atmosphere was quiet enough that we could actually sit and talk. There was also plenty of seating both inside and outside.
Overall, this was such a great little brunch spot, especially if you're staying at one of the nearby hotels or you're a student, teacher, or staff member at SJSU. It's walkable, quick, has plenty of seating, and the food was delicious. We picked it completely on a whim and ended up being really glad we did. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual brunch spot in the area!
