Suggestions for Cafe, Coffee, and Tea House near Downtown San Jose, San Jose

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Cheryl ❤️ M. • June 12, 2012Princess cake with any style coffee is heaven after and events at the park.

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

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.
