Katie Y. • July 5, 2016your standard Panera, broccoli cheddar soup, steak and arugula sandwich and the modern Greek salad with quinoa

Andrew C. • April 27, 2020Solid iced latte. I've been told the pandan cold brew is good

Keri G. • August 28, 2019The Tokyo and Valencia lattes are both quite good.

Anthony V. • September 26, 2020Nirvana Soul is one of the first Black owned coffee shops in Downtown San Jose.

Carla • August 22, 2020My favorite coffee house in San Jose! Great roasts, friendly staff and nestled in with a few other great businesses.

Elden P. • August 18, 2014The serving size here is huge. More than enough for two people to share. Which works out because you can add up to two flavors, just in case you both want something different.

Bill B. • July 22, 2015Great chi tea 😎

Laura Y. • July 8, 2017The croissants! I had a bacon and egg croissant that was literally right out of the oven. The best croissant I have had, flakey and perfect. The barista was lovely too. Friendly, patient, and helpful.

SilverSurfer • December 20, 2020Best little bagel shop with the fastest and friendliest service. An SJSU institution!

Isidro A. • January 20, 2016This is a very nice cafe for those who want to enjoy a nice espresso inside a classic victorian. For first timers, highly recommend the Nutellino, you will not be dissapointed!!!!!

ᴡ N. • April 21, 2013Get the young coco juice mix if you want something really refreshing or try their sangria sparkling iced tea.

Kevin P. • March 18, 2014The house coffee featured is roasted by Verve. The Buena Vista roast has a smokey aroma and the full bodied flavor of this dark roast is balanced by a sweet yet mellow coconut grace tone.

Anna B. • March 15, 2012Their blended coffee drinks are amazing. They also have a good selection of tea that they'll make iced and with milk for you. Love them!

Melissa D. • September 19, 2016The breakfast sandwiches are all amazing (My favorite being the "Wake Up Call"). Lattes and mocha are both great, but they will only do latte art when it's not too busy.

Jenny D. • September 14, 2014Quick walk to/from rose garden, library & hoover community center. Outside & inside seating.

Claire J. • May 11, 2016My go-to is the tofu kabobs with balsamic shallot glaze. Sooo good.

Rosanna N. • October 7, 2018Get the sugar cane juice with the cumquat. Also get the pandan waffle! You won’t be sorry.

Kevin P. • December 13, 2014Red Velvet mixes Red Sea (not listed on menu) and Silken Splendor beans. Dark smoky from Sea is acidic in this blend. Emphasis on dark oily flavors. Sweet mud pie comes to mind. Nutty & body centric.

Alicia F. • June 19, 2015Iced white mocha is really good and all day breakfast! The owner plans to have open mic soon! Be sure to check this place out! 😊
