I grabbed an iced biscoff latte with oatmilk and total came out to $10!! I understand this place is "luxury" but that's a steep price for a very mediocre coffee. Tasted like milk with a hint of biscoff. No taste of espresso or anything special to justify the price. I would think of coming back again to try the pastries, but I don't know if I'm willing to spend that much on a drink again.

I absolutely love coming here! They have awesome vegetarian and vegan lunch sets which really offer…read morethe feeling of having a satisfying meal without the food coma. The food is prepared fresh, it's packed with flavor without the heavy greasy feeling of eating out. The service is friendly and great but definitely feels better if you can speak mandarin (in my experience). The vibe of the cafe side is nice and calm, with cute decor and even some labubu! The food is reasonably priced and they even have some ready made healthy desserts and other foods for take out. I have been a regular here for years. Stop in and enjoy!

I asked for no mushrooms in the special instruction section but received a pile of mushrooms. Servings are large, but appropriate given the ingredients aren't filling. Rainbow noodles bowl: Looked/tasted like the fake meat was made of mushrooms. My spouse got three meals out of it and said it was ok. Braised tofu with rice: the braised tofu were fine, but the sauce was a little too oily. Even when I asked for no mushrooms, I was given a ton of mushrooms. The sides consist of a plain piece of unseasoned cooked squash, plain buttered zucchini, and plain unseasoned steamed cabbage, carrots, mushrooms.

These were perfect snacks for a park day, along with an hour bike ride! The service was great & although there was a line (thankfully not out the door this time), the wait wasn't too long and the workers work very efficiently & smoothly! There is tons of parking & again- the pastries are on point- not too buttery and they're flaky & moist! Will definitely be back!

3.5 stars! Look, it…read moretastes good. If that's all you need to know, definitely check it out. They're good with flavor. Unfortunately the quality seems inconsistent. Pastries and breads are often not uniform in size. Pastries that come out smaller or torn, damaged still get selected to be sold to customers instead of seen as a quality defect and pulled. In comparison to premium bakeries in SF, Palo Alto, or even Los Gatos, this was disappointing. I would think it would be better to pull the one or two pastries in that tray. Heck, even Paris Baguette would pull whole trays if it didn't fit their quality standard. (But I don't know if that's still true haha.) Given its premium pricing of $8-15 a pastry, I would expect all the qualities that would justify it. They are a step above bakeries who have frozen products, but do not hit the level of premium in quality of pastry. The prices they had in the beginning were fair, but with the recent increase along with those issues, I'm sad to rate it lower.

Coffee and Chai is a great spot for studying as there are lots of tables and it's quiet. Our barista today also turned out to be the owner of the cafe. Such a sweet, accommodating man!! We got a masala chai, a cardamom chai, and a matcha latte- all hot cos it's so chilly in San Jose around this time of year. I preferred the masala chai, but both chai lattes were yummy! Spiced so deliciously and definitely helped warm us up. My grandpa got the matcha and was pleased with the taste as it was unsweetened but not bitter at all. Regardless of whether you need a quick pick-me-up, a local study/work spot, or even someplace to catch up, this lovely cafe should be the next place you try out!

First time trying this place! I would recommend!…read more Instead of visiting their actual location, I ended up trying a delicious strawberry pastry from a booth they had in Presidio Tunnel Tops Park. The workers were friendly. I also noticed they kept clearing tray after tray, so that's good. I do plan on visiting their actual location one of these days.

Being…read morearound lunchtime, I drove over and pick up a pulled pork sandwich, The Monroe, and a chocolate cake roll with strawberry and chocolate mousse. Both fell below my expectations and my excitement fell flat. My pulled pork sandwich was sliced pork! And, the sliced pork seemed my smaller than the pulled pork. They never said they were out of the pulled pork. The side salad was nice, but lacked dressing. I saw the cake roll come out fresh as I was ordering my sandwich, so I added that to my order too. Well, the cake roll was not fresh, it must have come out of a very cold refrigerator, or it might have even been a freezer! I drove back to my office and ate my sandwich with the cake roll sitting in the open, 20 minutes later, when I went to eat the roll cake, the strawberry and chocolate mousse filling was still frozen and crystallized when you went to eat it. It was not ready at all to be served. What a shame, because it's not like it was inexpensive. There is some quality there, but still lacking consistency.

Such a cute fun place to go to the cats are very cute and furry my favorite cat is named apple pieread more

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever visited…read more First, I had no idea what was going on today. I heard Cat Cafe but thought it would be a cafe and there would be some cats in a window. This is fully play time with a group of sweet adorable cats! We had so much fun! The cats are mostly relaxing with a few playing and doing funny cat things. The usual. Leaping around, looking for stuffed fish and trying to surprise each other. I have an idea that instead of going to see a therapist, go see the cats!! We were so tired when we got there. A cup of the most delicious coffee in the world also happens to be prepared at this magical place!! i had a warm cookie butter coffee and it was amazing!!! I got a taste of other flavors and they were unbelievable!! Truly the best coffee I've ever had. We had a long day and the cup of coffee in hand you get to sit in a two story area with the most joyful innocent creatures. They just want to make friends and learn how to make someone happy. This is good for everyone. By the time we left, we were smiling, relaxed and very happy. If you get a chance, please make a reservation for some wonderful cat affection. They don't care how your hair is cut or what shoes you're wearing. They are nice warm animals and to have a lovely cat for some affection is one of life's most wonderful pleasures. I've got a few friends who could really benefit from an hour with a beautiful ball of sweetness. Highly recommend.

If you're having trouble locating Gateway Cafe: enter the 4 story building. Walk past the lobby and…read moreinto the outdoor courtyard. You should see a cafe by the water fountain. The building is very close to the San Jose airport and the Matrix Casino. Plenty of parking. They post their daily specials on their website every week: https://sanjosegatewaycafe.wixsite.com/gatewaycafe/daily-specials. There are some specials they have every week like sesame chicken katsu on Tuesdays and burgers on Wednesdays. Monday is always pasta. However you can also always order sandwiches off their menu! They also have salads, spring rolls, soft drinks, cookies, and more! My favorite is the veggie sandwich or the sesame chicken which comes with teriyaki sauce and a sesame slaw. Gateway Cafe is a mom and pop shop run by the same couple for the past 20+ years. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area and supporting a small business!

The bowl is a huge portion. They have kimchi salad which was too spicy for me but my husband and boys enjoyed it. The food is good. I think the portions are what I think people are after. There's a sweetness to the meat that I didn't really care for. The salsa is a nice change from what is usually with a breakfast burrito but for me I wish there was another salsa option. The restaurant itself has a few tables to eat in. The service is quick and the prices are reasonable. We'd probably try another place next time we're in the area.
