No cover charge but to make sure you get a seat at a table you can reserve it for $15, otherwise take a weat & hope it isn't reserved. Beer, wine, & coffee are available if you like & food can be ordered from the place next door.

It was my first visit to the shop, and in this instance it was clear the person at the register really didn't want to be working. They were super distracted on their personal phone and made zero effort to know anything about the menu. Maybe they were just having a bad morning like we all occasionally have. I'll certainly pay the shop another visit.

Only reviewing their latte and the service. I was walking…read moredown the area and in need of coffee and found this place. The lady at the counter was very nice. Coffee was nice and strong.

We stopped into Manresa Bread to try their Monkey Bread Latte. I added an extra shot. The guys said…read moreit was the same price for 2, so why not? My drink was ready quick considering how busy it was. It was strong, but delish!

I've been here a few times, and I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed this place yet…read more The moment you walk into Manresa Bread, you're greeted right away. The space has a modern yet warm feel with beautiful natural wood finishes, fresh loaves of sourdough lining the shelves, pastries displayed in the case, and a mix of large communal wood tables, regular seating, and high-top tables. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The staff was friendly and helped us choose both a pastry and our toast. They were also happy to customize our order--we asked for the levain sourdough toast with butter instead of the usual olive oil. That toast was absolutely divine. The sourdough had the perfect balance: chewy without being too sour, with a crust that was crisp but not so hard that it fought back. Easily the best sourdough toast I've had in the Bay Area. If you come here, this is the one thing you have to order. The only disappointment was the butter. They serve French butter, but for an extra $2, the portion was tiny and honestly nothing special. I've had better butter from Whole Foods. It didn't take away from how incredible the bread was, but it wasn't worth the upcharge. Their Kouign-amann is also one of the best I've ever had. Instead of the typical flat, flaky style, theirs is taller with countless buttery layers that create an amazing texture. The cappuccino was another highlight. It had subtle notes of orange peel, whiskey, and cardamom, making it unique. The latte art was beautiful too. Overall, Manresa Bread is one of those cafés that makes you want to sit down with a laptop or a book and spend a few hours there. The only downside is there are no power outlets, so come with a full battery if you're planning to work. Must orders: Levain sourdough toast with butter and the Kouign-amann. Both are worth the trip.

While we were in Los Gatos, my daughter and I spotted Fleur de Cocoa and immediately had to stop…read morebecause we have a slightly unhealthy obsession with chocolate croissants. We had to see if they had any, and luckily there was exactly one left! We bought it to have for breakfast the next morning. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because it was packaged in a bag and I wasn't sure how well it would hold up overnight. But the next morning, we basically fought over who was going to get the biggest piece. It was still flaky and delicious, and there was chocolate in every bite. The chocolate was in strips through the middle rather than spread throughout the entire pastry, but there was still enough that we never had a bite without chocolate. It ended up being such a sweet way to start our last day in town. They had so many other pastries and desserts that looked absolutely amazing, but we had just eaten lunch and knew we were heading back out for the day, so we didn't want to risk buying something that might melt in the car. If you're in Los Gatos and love chocolate croissants as much as we do, definitely stop in! And if there's only one left...don't hesitate. Grab it!

I wish we had also had lunch there - everything looked so good! Wonderful, friendly waitstaff, and the decor/ambiance reminded me very much of Paris - beautiful shop & cafe with lovely outdoor seating as well. Sidebar: they use Valrhona chocolate which is one of our most favorite European gourmet chocolatiers. We went to the Valrhona chocolaterie a number of times for their chocolate and hot chocolate during our recent trip to Paris - my favorite hot chocolate in the world!

We came by Blue Bottle to order an affogato but this location doesn't have a freezer for ice cream…read more So, we ordered the golden cinnamon nola with cold foam, the iced espresso with cold foam, and a brown butter brownie. We ate the brownie before we got our drinks :). Drinks were good. We ordered another with oat milk and cold foam. The stuff tastes great. There were a few tables to sit at, a counter area, and it was air conditioned. It was near closing time at 4:30. They called out my drink but someone snagged it so I thought it must be pretty popular. They were closing up so I asked if my drink was coming up. The barista said I called that out like 5 minutes ago. I said you did but someone grabbed it so they made me another one.

New location in downtown Los Gatos, small attached parking lot in front, but also public lots…read morebehind and nearby. Staff was attentive and really fast at helping people, so the line went quick. I went midday, right before lunch, and several pastries were already out. It sounded like they don't make the pastries at this location and they are brought over from the main location (which is much larger). This location is fairly compact, just enough room for folks to order in a line, and all seating (still limited) is outside facing the parking lot. Even then, there was a good selection of pastries and even a few "sandwich"/savory options (although quite limited). There's a handful of coffee/drink options as well. For the price, I thought it was a tad expensive, but overall I got the ham & gruyere sandwich and the matcha chocolate croissant and both were pretty good (although the matcha chocolate was sweeter than I expected). I would come back as a treat to myself, but it wouldn't be my first stop for pastries per se. Cute cafe though and very friendly staff.

Their croissants are disappointing. They say they make them with real French butter and flour, but…read moreyou can't taste either butter or wheat -- it just tastes overly sweet and bread-y. Ideally, a croissant should have crackly, flaky, buttery layers. Theirs is not crispy enough. I feel this bakery prioritizes aesthetics over taste. The tastes and textures are not properly developed. Everything is overly sweet and bland. Same in their Santa Clara location. I tried pistachio basque cheesecake. You could taste cheese, but not caramelization from the Basque effect, or pistachio. Very basic. At their other bakery location, I tried a few matcha things and they were plagued with same problem. The matcha flavor was not pronounced and everything tasted ersatz and boring. Bummer. as it's a super cute little cafe in downtown Los Gatos and they have so many nice looking options.

When we walked in the staff were very friendly and helpful with our questions, since it was our first time and there were a lot of options on the menu. A lot of the bagels we wanted were already sold out by noon when we went. We settled on a sunrise egg which bagel. The bagel sandwich came out nice and toasty, and we took it to a nearby park to indulge! The bagel itself was fluffy on the inside while still maintaining satisfying chew, and the exterior had a nice bite from the toasting. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon was crispy, while the veggies tasted fresh! Couldn't ask for much more from a breakfast bagel sandwich! Overall, what a delicious spot for bagels!

Blvd Coffee is a great spot if you're looking for a cozy café to work, study, or catch up with…read morefriends. It has a much more homey and welcoming feel compared to a lot of the newer, trendier coffee shops, which I really appreciated. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably settle in for a few hours without feeling rushed. The food and drinks were both really good, especially the paninis--they're definitely worth ordering if you're stopping by for a meal or snack. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because I felt the prices were a little on the higher side. That said, the overall atmosphere and quality of the food and drinks still made it an enjoyable experience. Overall, I'd recommend Blvd Coffee if you're looking for a comfortable neighborhood café with a cozy vibe, good coffee, and solid food. It's an easy place to spend an afternoon getting work done or catching up with friends.

Hey there Party People…read more I had heard of this place from friends so I decided to try it. I confused this place with another restaurant when I did my first review. So I want to set the record straight because Los Gatos Cafe was a really good experience. It's a small place but there are outside tables as well. You can order lunch at any time as well as breakfast. We started with Banana Chocolate Chip pancakes. Holy smokes they were the bomb. They had a ton of fresh bananas inside as well as a nice amount of chocolate chips on top. I had the Hot Turkey and Pear sandwich. I know the combo sounds weird but it was super tasty. The pear added crunch and sweetness to the sandwich. There was also a good dose of grilled onions to go with the owie gooey cheese....yum. Hubby had the Granite Flank Steak Sandwich . It was smothered in Gorgonzola cheese with a good portion of Flank Steak. The steak was tender and well seasoned. It was the perfect flavor bite. So going to add this place to the frequent flier list. Be kind to one another

I think you know what this is by now, so no need to repeat the ingredients. Got this with a salad and sandwich deal.
