I've been here two times now - and both times were decent. Here are the pros: *lots of seating - indoor and outdoor. Good for small or larger groups. *good food menu - bagels, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, etc *friendly staff *lots of parking Cons: *coffee was just ok *prices are a bit high Overall, solid place to hang for a while and enjoy a pastry and matcha. I wasn't blown away, but will be back to try other things next time. read more

I read about this coffee shop from our neighbors' posts on NextDoor as to their favorite coffee shops, so I decided to check it out. It's close to where I shop at Smart and Final, but located in the strip mall with Dick's Sporting Goods and Bourbon and Blossom Restaurant on Blossom Hill Road in San Jose. There's an outdoor eating area, but there were clouds overhead, so people were sitting inside. The shop has some nice bakery goods, panini, crepes, bagels and sandwiches, besides the espresso and latte drinks. You can come meet up here with friends for a breakfast or lunch or a snack in between. The chocolate croissant I ordered was very big and tasty, the Mexican coffee was good, with espresso and chocolate. I also ordered a sourdough grilled cheese sandwich, just know that it takes a while to get a nicely grilled sandwich. I would have liked to have had an additional slice of cheese, because I'm used to fatter grilled cheese sandwiches, but it was still tasty with the traditional sharp cheddar cheese . I'll definitely come again to try the other things on the menu. There's plenty of parking, the restroom was clean, and there are plenty of other types of food available to eat at this mall, including a taqueria, a fish and chips restaurant, Miyakko Japanese restaurant, and Blossom and Bourbon. I also went shopping for groceries at the Chavez Market, and in this mall, there's also a Sally's Beauty Supply store, a shoe store, nail shop, Ace Hardware and some other stores. It was an interesting place to explore, especially after enjoying a delicious coffee and having a morning snack at the Blvd Coffee. You should definitely check this coffee shop out! read more

LOVE having a neighborhood go-to coffee spot and this place is great! Have been to the other one off Almaden but BLVD brings all of the great coffee, food and experience to Blossom Hill! The little guy chose a Cruffin which was a sweet, flaky cinnamon croissant/muffin delight. The adults would have liked it more but he ate through almost all of it on his own! We shared a Special Bagel (on an Everything which was a light, crisp, refreshing start to our day. And of course had to get coffee. They have a great cubano which was creamy, lightly sweetened and went well with our breakfast. Helped us get off to a great start to our day! read more

Went to try this out with a friend and the inside was very lovely and spacious and staff were very kind. Took a minute to figure out what I wanted to order and got the cinnamon twist latte and strawberry Nutella crepe. The coffee was very good and luckily they had milk substitutes. I had my cinnamon twist latte with oat-milk. The crepe was okay it was very soft but the Nutella and strawberry portions were good. I'd come back and try again especially their seasonal drinks like the honeysuckle latte. read more

Finally got around to trying this place! The workers were friendly and service was fast which I appreciated. We got our order to-go so that we could enjoy at home since we live close by. My husband enjoyed his Americano and said it was good overall. I got the coconut matcha which was light and refreshing. I had asked for the coconut color foam on top as an add on, and I don't think it was included when I got my drink so I was a bit bummed about that. I didn't notice until I got home or else I would have said something. For food we got the cruffin and the almond poppyseed muffin. Both were fresh and tasty! They also warmed them up for us which I appreciated. Overall, there's a ton of seating in here and it seems like a good place to hang out and work/study. This is definitely a good local coffee shop to check out! In the future, I would like to see maybe a few more tea based options, as there were only 2 (that I could see) and I'm someone who doesn't drink coffee. read more

From Pizza Turnover to Coffee Powerhouse I spent an afternoon working from Blvd Coffee, and this was my first time visiting their new location. I have to say--it's an impressive transformation and a great addition to the area. The environment is perfect for getting work done or just relaxing with a good drink. It's spacious with plenty of tables, large screen TVs, and lively music that gives the place great energy without being distracting. The café itself is very clean, and the artwork throughout is fun and cheerful, with pieces that celebrate and symbolize the Bay Area. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which always makes a place feel even more welcoming. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk, and it was excellent--rich, smooth, and far better than the watered-down versions you get at Starbucks. They also sell pastries (which I didn't try this time) and have some great branded merchandise like coffee, shirts, and hats for sale. What will definitely bring me back next week--besides another work session--is their breakfast menu. It looks fantastic and I'm excited to try it. And when the weather is nice, their spacious outdoor seating area will be the perfect place to sit. It's also worth mentioning that this spot used to house two different pizza restaurants that didn't make it in this shopping center. Blvd Coffee has completely reimagined the space, and judging by the atmosphere and crowd, it already seems to be a hit. I'll definitely be back. read more

Blvd coffee is serving up simple cups of coffee without any frills or gimmicks. I had a cubano and a cinnamon twist latte, both were decent. The coffee wasn't too exciting but it also wasn't dull. They also have a generous menu that includes coffees, pastries, and savory bites. They have a display of the many pastries that they make, which all looked delicious. The service was good for what it was, as only one barista was working so it took a little longer than usual but that's expected with only one person on the bar. The ambience is simple, nothing too exciting except for the disco ball that is in the middle of the room. So overall, if you're looking to get some work done, have a simple coffee and pastry, then this might just be your spot. read more

3.5 stars I normally don't like to give that rating but it's mostly based on the customer service, or lack thereof. My niece ordered, the cashier asked for her name, she spelled it for him, and he said, "I'm still going to spell it wrong." I mean, come on now, excuse you! That shows a lack of effort on his part to care for the customer. Another name mixup was with my other niece: she said, "Judy." They spelled it Julie, which was an honest mistake; however, when it comes to drinks/coffee/customer service in hindsight the cashier could've repeated her name to ensure it was correct. Ordered: Avocado toast: 4/10 - not enough avocado Strawberry and Nutella crepe: 9/10 Sunny something panini: 10/10 - turkey pesto Breakfast plate: 8/10 Cinnamon Twist: 6/10 Cafe Mocha: 8/10 Spacious inside compared to the Almaden location, which is smaller and not as bright (more on the darker end). There was a disco ball that turned on, unsure of the vibe they were going for with this. There's a large tv so I would assume it'd be good to hang out and lounge. There's a good selection of pastries that I'd like to try. Despite the hits and misses, I'll give this place another chance. read more

Stopped in here on a weekday morning and it was very busy, which of course added to the wait time as to be expected. I did not order any coffee, but I definitely will next time. I did order a bagel with cream cheese. That really hit the spot and I loved how they gave you a lot of cream cheese. I did see the avocado toast someone ordered and I could make a better one than that. It was definitely not worth the $10 plus for it. The service was really good and the place looks great. read more

The cruffin is so delicious! It's super crispy on the outside and soft and doughy inside. Highly recommend getting it heated up. The coffee is really good too. My husband got the cubano, which is their signature. The crepe and breakfast burrito were average. Nothing to write home to and probably wouldn't get them again, but we weren't unhappy with our meal. I personal had the crepe with turkey, cheese, egg, and avocado, and felt it to be on the dry side. Im glad I asked for some pesto because that helped it be a little less dry. As of now, we'd for sure come back for pastries and coffee! Can't wait to try more bakery items! If you plan to dine in, they have plants of tables available. You order with the cashier, grab any open table, and then they'll call your name when your food/drinks are ready to grab at the counter. They have a couple high chairs available too :) read more

Their third location is now open! We've been a fan of Blvd Coffee since first visiting them in Los Gatos several years ago. Saw on Instagram that their new location is open. It is conveniently located less than 2 miles from where we are visiting this weekend. We knew we had to stop in right away. The location was easy to find and there is lots of parking, yay! We were greeted warmly upon entering. I immediately went to look at the baked goods. They have a good variety of items, including several flavors of scones and that is all I needed to see!! I got a vanilla bean scone, my husband got a lemon white chocolate scone and we picked up a croissant for my mom. I'm a tea drinker, so I opted for a hot green tea. My husband is a coffee snob and ordered a double-shot espresso. My husband credits the owner, Humberto, with introducing him to good tasting coffee years ago. We have one coffee roaster in Vacaville where my husband swears it is the best espresso around. All other espresso's are judged at this benchmark. Blvd Coffee makes espresso that meets this standard. It is tied with the best espresso he's ever had. We love that they roast their own beans and make their baked goods. It is a family run operation with very sweet staff. We loved the interior of the cafe as it offers bright cheerful tables inside and shaded patio seating outside. We hope to visit again soon, the next time we are in town. read more

Very cute cafe. At least 5 tables of guests at 9:15am on a Thursday. Over $9 for a Mexican mocha. Less than 5 sips and I had to throw it away. The food on the menu looked great. Sad that the muffins were not labeled with what they were. read more

Tried this new spot today and was underwhelmed. I got an iced pumpkin spice latte which felt overpriced ($6.95) for an okay-tasting espresso and what looks like Torani syrups. The menu is also quite limited. However, the ambiance is nice - minimalistic and spacious. What really boosted my rating and made a lasting impression was the outstanding service: I was helped by Nicolas who was responsive, courteous, and very hospitable! I won't be back because there are some other cafes in the vicinity with similar price points that have more options and taste better. read more

You can do WAY better for your money. I think the only way this place has high reviews is people that know them because this ain't it. The croissant sandwich in an earlier review is what sold me and what I got looked absolutely nothing like it. The croissant in their display and in that picture is NOT what I got. This was a soggy super low quality McDonald's croissant that felt like it just came out of the microwave. It was so bad that I had to take it back and got the bagel instead. Even the bagel I got was a soggy piece of bread that felt like it came from Safeway. The cappuccino was just okay. Please, do yourself a favor and spend your money on better places. $33 for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches that were fast food quality was not it. EDIT: The owner stated he could not find the picture I was referencing, when it's right here in the reviews. I added it for convenience. Also, I didn't mind that the sandwich was flat, nor was it cold as he mentioned. The problem was that it was a soggy croissant as if it was placed in the microwave. Do better, put it in a panini maker or something to make it toasted. read more

We are excited about the newest coffee shop addition to south San Jose! We love the other blvd coffee but this is closer :) we just got drip coffee (him regular and me decaf) and it had great flavor. We also got a blueberry lemon muffin that was alright. It's still a new open so there's some kinks to work out I'm sure. Adding art, plants, and/or couches would make it cozier- there's certainly room for it. The cashier was super sweet and engaging with our child. We will be back! read more

I was so excited to try this spot as I've been wanting to check it out for a while but closest location was Los Gatos...too far for me so I'm so happy there's a South San Jose spot! I popped in early morning for a pre workday coffee and breakfast. I walked in and was immediately greeted. I took a minute to take in the menu and make a decision. The iced white mocha was delicious and not too overly sweet with syrup with a good nutty coffee taste. The ham and cheese breakfast sandwich was delicious also. This shop is brand new and lots of open space and seating inside and out. I will be back to this shop again now that they're in the area. read more

Latte was okay. It was not worth the money as it was nothing memorable. Most of their drinks are flavored so those seem to be more of the draw. As a plain latte goes, you can skip it. Place is huge and there are plenty of people working and hanging out. Nice space. read more

Blvd Coffee, Blossom Hill, located in the old location of the short-lived Buddie's Pub (which looks like it said "Buddles Pub", in my opinion), is a welcomed addition to the Blossom Hill neighbourhood - an area that needs a fresh injection of non "big corporate" chain coffee shops. Coffee is solid, with options for most tastes, and the ability to customize that you would expect. The espresso-based drinks are made on traditional Italian espresso machines and grinders, and all brewing is done by hand, with all steps being done manually. This is in sharp contrast to many big box coffee shops these days, and offers a more analogue experience, but also means you can expect some varrience in what your drink will taste like from visit to visit. The staff is incredibly friendly. The family who owns the establishment works alongside everyone else, and are personable and relatable. I was thanked today for sharing posts about their new location and experience in all of my networks. This is usually pretty thankless, so I appreciate the love in return. Ambience is a work in progress for this site. It's a bit clean and sterile looking, but based on their Almaden location, I'm hopeful that they'll add some styling pizzazz soon enough. The building has great bones, so there's no reason it won't be gorgeous inside soon. I'm still experimenting to see exactly what I like the most there, but to date, the best drink I've had was a vanilla latte with an extra pump of syrup, made with 2% milk. Barista's name was Enrique, who I believe might be a manager at the site. There is also a super friendly order taking individual named Edith who brightens up the atmosphere with her smile when I go in each day. She might be found in the picture I'm posting with this review. Give it a try. I've been there almost every day since their soft opening and will continue to give them my business and recommend any time possible. read more

Blvd Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I had a crepe here and a coffee. The crepe had uncooked zucchini and the coffee was not really that good. It was poor in quality and not tasty. When I walked in multiple tables had crumbs on them. One table was even stained from a prior customer. When I pointed that out to the employee she acted as if I was some inconvenience for asking her to work and clean her tables. A person that entered after me was unnecessary loud. There is coffee shop ambience and then there is a person at the next table talking inappropriately loud. There is a certain level where someone is too loud for other people and this person is very unself aware. When I told him to lower his volume so I could focus on my task, he became unnecessary immature and confrontational. The employee didn't insist that he lower his voice to accommodate others. I won't go back. read more

Delicious pumpkin muffins and love this new location by Blossom and Bourbon, Dicks, and Ace! :)

Love having a good local coffee spot in the area. I got the Mexican mocha for myself and it was delicious. I got the pumpkin pie chai for myself mom and stole a sip. Also delicious. My brother is allergic to dairy and they were able to accommodate. I got him the fall latte that had maple, cinnamon, and honey and oat milk. I forgot to get a sip before he finished it but he was happy with it. read more

Would give them less stars if I could. Excited to see more eateries expanding into the Blossom Valley area, but seriously do better. Been here more than 3 times so this wasn't a one time experience. None of them have been good. On this occasion : Ordered 2 orders of the avocado toast, comes out with 1 slice and told "sorry we will bring out another slice. " ...Never came back. Never mind there was hardly anyone in there and it took 20 mins to toast bread and put avocado on it. Asked for 2 eggs on the toast ($4 each egg). A total bill for 2 ppl: two cups of coffee, two avocado toast with 2 eggs $50. Wouldn't mind the price if the items were actually served. White plain walls with no personality, sign outside said crepes, paninis, etc... It's a fairly large space with great potential, wish them the best but this kind of service and pricing won't last in this area. read more

Came to go to Chavez and I saw the sign. I said no way BLVD has 3 locations now? Came in saw Humberto and talked about all the years me and my kids went to the LG location. Support this coffee shop. It's a family owned shop and they do things the right way. After all these years he is still a great guy and his son is here working. Great place, great coffee, great owner read more

I pondered upon this establishment one day and so glad that I did! The barista offered me an expresso shot to sample their beans and it was good. This weekend we had bagel breakfast sandwiches (super good) and cappuccino & latte. The staff were so kind and checking in on our order. The coffee ship is in a big space and clean, which is important to me. I'm definitely planning to support this establishment and continue to enjoy their good coffee & food. My next trip will include trying their Nutella banana strawberry crepe. read more

blvd coffee will forever be one of my favorite coffee shops. locally owned and i believe also mostly family operated! the coffee is ALWAYS on point, i've never had an issue with my drink or food! i recently tried their Tg - Napoleon and it's to die for! Hard to explain the taste but if you're into creamy "butter" (not sure what nut/seed) but it's sooo delicious! the kiwi and strawberry is perfect for this pastry. 10/10! i highly recommend you check them out if you haven't. this coffee shop will NOT disappoint ! read more

Disappointed. I love the LG location, but this one needs improvement. I'll give it another try after the newness shakes out. Mexican coffee was mediocre (also not hot), and the turkey sandwich was dry and elementary. The wait for the sandwich was also unacceptable-- no one before me and considering the sandwich lacked any luster it should've been ready in no time at all. (I had to ask about it! I think it was forgotten.) The staff, in general, was not ready for work this day. The location is spacious. read more

Service 5 stars, customer service 5 stars. Drink consistency and quality 3 stars. Ive been coming here since before the grand opening. Love this location. I usually get an IceRage mocha with almond milk. (NC ALMOND MILK) Recently, we've been coming in the late afternoon. The drinks have been very disappointing . They are either soupy, not frozen, or if they are frozen they put too much ice in them it could make 2 whole drinks...but it tastes watered down. Barely any coffee or chocolate flavor. Since it was cold yesterday I decided to go for a hot mocha with almond milk, the same exact ingredients as a icerage with out the ice. First off, they charged for almond milk, $1.00. I asked if it was correct and they said yes. Secondly, it mostly tasted like hot chocolate, no espresso or chocolate flavor. Most definitely not a mocha. A couple things more....I think the afternoon barista needs some drink making training and they need to standardize their prices across the board. read more

Amazing coffee and don't sleep on the food. Pastries and breakfast items are tasty and well worth trying.

Great location to grab a cup of coffee but the service is extremely slow. I've been here a few times and each time it's been dead in here and orders take forever.

I absolutely LOVE this place!! Most coffee shops in the Bay Area are overpriced and disappointing, but this one is the complete opposite. The coffee isn't cheap--but it is so worth it because it's absolutely delicious! I've been here multiple times, both on my own and with friends, and we can't get enough. The space is bright, comfortable, and spacious, with plenty of room to relax or meet up with friends. The staff is always friendly, and every food item or baked good I've tried has been delicious. I truly can't say enough good things--everyone should try this place out! I also go to the Almaden location since it's closest to my house, and it's also fantastic every time. read more

We've been going to Blvd Coffee on Meridian/Blossom Hill and in Los Gatos for years now. This new location is closer to us! Same fabulous coffee! They have a serve yourself station so you can mix your own drip coffee which I prefer. And lots of kinds of other coffee drinks. The owner is Humberto and the coffee blend he created named after him is the best we've ever had anywhere. His son Monte and other family members work in the business, too. The workers are all friendly and helpful. Lots of seating. Three booths and numerous tables and chairs. Plus a nice outdoor seating area. And their pumpkin muffins are fabulous! They make them in-house along with other pastries. Also they have breakfast and lunch sandwiches. There's a big parking lot, too. Please come and support this wonderful family business. We need more independent coffee houses like this! read more
