I was quite surprised at how good the iced lattes were. They had a vanilla syrup and a lavender syrup and I asked them to mix the two and the result was delicious! They also offer 3 different sizes which is great if you ever want anything larger than a 16 ounce cup of coffee... because sometimes I do! My bestie and I stopped by here for a coffee date and the place was filled with tables and couches. It was the perfect place to wind down and catch up. Service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

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

A pragmatic place for a quick bite. A decent menu of bagels, crepes and sandwiches with a friendly service. We had a couple sandwiches with a nice cup of coffee (Mexican Mocha). Coffee was stellar with a nice aroma and a good shot of caffeine. Sandwiches were decent. However, overall ambience and vibe was subpar (eg., lack of music, lack of warmth from decor) and two wide-door entrances leading to a sterile environment. I love trying boutique, non-chain coffee shops - this place had been on my list for a while and was glad to finally try it today, although a tad bit disappointed. The good news is that there is much room for easy improvements - the menu was perfect and service was great too - just a little work to enhance the atmosphere and vibes can go a really long way! I will be back for sure and looking forward to upgrading my ratings to 5 stars next time. read more

The coffee was good, service was bad. I asked the cashier if the drinks came iced cause it was my first time there, she said huh at least 3 times so I had to repeat myself 3 times before she actually understood what I asked. After that she was just rude for the rest of the interaction. It seemed like they are only nice to regulars. Good coffee but definitely not going back. I had gotten there sticky maple latte read more

I ordered from 2 different people and got great service. I initially I ordered the cop car with delicious white and dark chocolate. After I explored the food menu, I couldn't resist ordering the chicken salad sandwich and boy was it savory with sweet apples. The ambiance was casual and quiet. There's plenty of seating and tables for your laptop. read more

Love this place. Such a great alternative to the big boys. Amazing coffee and great food. On-site bakery. The Cubano Coffee is life changing. lol. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Nice decor. Support your local business and you will not be dissappoin read more

I've been to Blvd Coffee many times, and their wide selection of specialty drinks is very impressive. Some are a bit on the sweet side for me, but they also make just a really solid latte if that's what you're in the mood for. The interior is always clean and very comfortable. They have some couches inside that are soft and cozy, and unless the weather is bad (which in San Jose is nearly never) there's abundant outside seating. You'll almost always see people hanging out there. Since this place is in a fairly large shopping center with an Albertsons and many other stores, parking is abundant. I've never had an issue. The only issue I have had is with the construction of some of their food, specifically the bagels. I am not much of a bagel fan, at least on the West Coast. NYC bagels are better and less doughy, I spent a week there once and it really opened my eyes. Why are theirs so much better? Some say the water, I say more likely people here just don't care. And I'm sure we have better tacos so maybe it evens out. Anyway, Blvd Coffee's bagels - they are just poorly constructed. The paper wrapping seems to stick to the bagels, the fillings always shoot out the opposite side when you take a bite, and they are too wet. Specifically the bagel with jalapeños, it was so soggy. I don't know, the coffee is writing checks the food cant' cash. Hence the 4 stars. Speaking of cash, they take credit cards. The pricing here is also good, I mean obviously drinking coffee at home is cheaper, but that's also kind of sad and lame. Plus there's usually dogs hanging around outside, so you'd definitely be better off getting coffee and petting a dog then drinking coffee at home wishing you were petting a dog. Overall, great place for coffee, and I've heard positive reviews for the crepes. But please work on your bagels. read more

Blvd Coffee - Sadly they were out of cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Blvd is a great space to meet up, collaborate and work. They have a decent size menu to meet all needs. It's not too loud but not too quiet.

I've refrained myself from writing a review a few times since it's a local spot and I've had a few normal experiences here but I think it's time to share my thoughts. I came this morning to grab a few items to go. There was a second cashier in line staring off into the distance - I wasn't sure if she was planning on opening up so I just waited. I eventually made eye contact and with a blank stare gave a forced wave of the hand - no greeting. I ordered my bagel and coffee and as expected, interaction was not friendly at all. After I ordered I waited for my food and coffee. I've had experiences in the past where the person in charge was calling orders was inconsistent and almost picking and choosing what names to call out. I thought this time would be different. I waited in a spot where I did not have direct vision but since she was loudly calling orders out, I would be fine. Five minutes go by, I don't hear my name but I go and check. My coffee is there, okay here we go again. Wondering how my name conveniently does not get called out when I'm literally hearing all prior orders. Okay, let's try again with the bagel.. wait another 5 minutes, I look over and I see all the personell standing around.. probably a sign that my bagel is complete.. yep, order is sitting right there on the counter (no name called). Atleast it's been consistent of my experiences here, sucks because I do enjoy the product but I have to make sure there's accountability. The ultimately grand finale is when I open my order at home and there was an open lemon juice container upside down with lemon juice all on the bottom. This caused my bagel to get wet and soggy. Weird how it was conveniently placed upside down and open.. If you value service and being treated well - I don't recommend coming here. I will say their cinnamon coffee is some of the best I've had. But this staff has high turnover and I've mostly had bad experiences with only a few friendly ones. read more

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

Cute little coffee shop in Los Gatos. I would come here for my lunch when I worked in the area and loved in. They have a great coffee selection with their unique twists every season which is enjoyable to try and their sandwiches are simple, can be healthy, and delicious - all that i can appreciate. The service is always delightful. The kids behind the counter are friendly and have a good personality. Another plus is their table in the back for the kids, coloring books and crayons for them to stay busy while we wait or for me to work on my laptop. :) read more

Updating to 5 stars because the summer white chocolate macadamia nut iced coffee is delicious, I recently discovered the massive mumbo jumbo (5 shot) size coffee, and today I learned that if you ask they will put bacon on your egg and cheese croissant, it's just not on the menu. read more

I've been coming here a lot lately and have been on a very consistent streak of great food and delicious coffee! The staff is all super friendly and my order is always correct. The space is quite large, so I never have to worry about finding a spot to chill and work on my laptop. But I wish they would do a light remodel to the space, it can use some touching up with the paint and furniture. It's kind of a wonky layout, maybe from covid but there's so much unused space. Almost seems like they started a remodel or expansion and never finished. Either way, I'll keep coming back for the yummy goodies! Glad to have a great coffee joint in the neighborhood. read more

I take my daughter here because she likes the coffee. It's not a stand out. However, what's really the biggest disappointment is the lack of care. Ceiling and fans covered in dust. Furniture is worn out and filthy. The walls and baseboards, nasty. A little investing for all of the customers that support this business wouldn't hurt. read more

Hands down the best coffee in the SF Bay Area! Delicious food, nice atmosphere, accommodating staff. I love that the baking is done on premises. I drive from the Cupertino area to this location. Thanks for being delicious. read more

The vibe and atmosphere is pretty nice in here and there is a lot of seating but their coffee is subpar. I come here every once in awhile since I live close but every time I get my iced vanilla latte it just tastes like milk and the expresso just doesn't come through. I also just hate torani syrup, it's cheap and low quality and personally ruins the drink. read more

Delicious coffee espreeso. I tried the caffe carmelita that comes with chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. Warm, sweet and creamy.

While not one of my top coffee shops, I feel this place has a lot of potential. It is spacious, has a good amount of seating, with a great selection of food - including pastries, breakfast sandwiches and a great place to go for crepes. They make a very good coffee, my favorite being the cinnamon twist latte - in fact sometimes I come here just because I crave that . I feel it could be a much more exciting place than it is with a little bit of work -. The furniture seems a little worn and I feel that more effort could be put into how furniture is laid out, it feels a little jumbled. However with a little effort this place could be made very welcoming and comfortable - it certainly has the potential! But don't let this keep you away, the coffee is very enjoyable and the crepes are excellent and the service is always very good. read more

Hmmm BLVD Coffee is a pretty amazing little classic drip shop in the Crossgate Village. I found myself wanting to check out their pastries and they do have a variety which is nice for a change! Got a double chocolate muffin and a double shot almond milk, latte. The roast had a nice auburn flavor that is difficult to pin point. Hotdog! A new flavor and roast definitely different from the norm organic Tony's via Wellingham Washington , all and all a great brew! The double chocolate muffin was really fresh and not overly sweet for my taste. To each their own and I absolutely love unwrapping that beauty and pressing it into my mouth. AHHHHHHH. :) Great no complaints. Enso forever +- Lots of parking. Lots of outdoor seating. Lots of space indoor. 6 f a. est 92. 2 local. Family ownership . _mmm. Yummy yummy pastries! read more

Blvd Coffee - Latte muffin double. Ya. Hmm yah! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Hello Hidden Gem in the neighborhood! Searched for a local neighborhood coffee shop for a change in scenery for remote work and Blvd popped up. Can't believe I haven't been here. Staff is friendly and they make some great lattes. Food option has a range from light snack/ pastry to sandwiches- which makes for a wonderful half day work of breakfast then lunch to go. There is plenty of roomy seating. A great place for a catch up meeting, mom group meet up after school drop off, or post long walk at Almaden Lake. It's worth checking it out! Enjoy! read more

This place is fantastic - slowly weaning me off Starbucks who I still occassionlly must cave to since it's fast, there are 4 on my way to work and I'm always running late sadly. But as someone said to me, "Somehow Starbucks has convinced us that their food is how breakfast tastes and we've forgotten what good tasting food is." Just can't bring myself to order that old egg on the rubber bun there now. Blvd. has some damn good food, I typically get some breakfast sandwich, always excellent, but the pastries! Wow - special cheers for the mornings they dcide to do Mexican (conchas, pan dulce, etc). Employees are all super nice, including the friendly owner - and the manager, Monty, who manages to recognize me no matter how hard I try to hide my bedhead, last night's makeup desperation for coffee.' Introverts will understand. All the baristas I've met are 5 star also. Cheers, Blvd! (photo to come) read more

just ordered a drink at boulevard coffee and the milk tasted sour and i couldn't drink it so i asked for a new coffee a different drink and it was the same not really enjoyable the esthetic inside is a good atmosphere for a meeting or such but i will not be drinking coffee here again read more

2.5 Stars The good: The coffee and it's a great spot to meet with friends. It's your neighborhood hangout. The not soo good: Quality of food is at a decline. I would order usually order Avo Toast with Egg and it use to be delicious. Now the they barely put any avocado in it even if you request for extra. They try to spread it out like butter. The egg is overcooked. Unfortunately, this was not a one time occurrence. I'll still come for the coffee as it is easy spot to meet with friends. If I want Avo Toast, I'd visit Spectra or Manresa. read more

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

This is a Sunday favorite for me and my husband. It's the happiest, friendliest place around. It can't be beat! The coffee is delicious and the cappuccino is spectacular. We have not found anything on the menu that is not delicious, breakfasts, lunches and pastries... all yum! The seating arrangements are interesting, and fun. There is space for everyone to feel comfortable-- singles, couples, families, and friend groups. Outdoor seating is also plentiful. The entire space is clean and neat. The staff is mainly young people and they are diligent and friendly and efficient. Parking is a breeze as the café is part of a strip mall. read more

I love this coffee shop! Boulevard has the friendliest employees I've encountered out of all of the coffee shops I've been in. The coffee and food is excellent too! My experience is that most coffee shops have bitter coffee, but Boulevard's is smooth with a great flavor. The shop has lots of comfortable seating and is usually packed, especially on weekends. read more

Blvd Coffee was a trek for me, but I've been wanting to try out their food and coffee. Since it would be my first time there, I was hoping that the quality of my food and drink made the trip worth while. Blvd Coffee did not disappoint, and I would be totally down to swing by when I'm in the Almaden Valley area in the future. I ordered iced cinnamon twists, an egg and cheese croissant, and a plain croissant for me and my sister. Regarding the croissants, I believe I heard that they were made in-house. The croissants were definitely buttery and flaky, so even if I misheard the employee at least the croissants weren't old or stale. The egg and cheese sandwich was very filling. Granted, it looked like it was made with 4 eggs because the egg was super thick. I did notice that texturally the egg had air pockets like it was steamed or microwaved. Not a make-or-break by the way, just an observation. Although the sandwich was fine, it could've used a bit of salt or a type of sauce (e.g. salsa, hot sauce, pesto, etc.) to attribute some flavor. The cinnamon twist was an excellent drink. It wasn't too sweet and was heavy on the cinnamon, which I liked. I appreciated that I could taste the flavor of the espresso. Service was great. The employees were all very friendly. The drinks I ordered came out quickly, but my sandwich took a little bit of time since it was made-to-order. Nonetheless, I felt that the overall wait time was no longer than 7 minutes. read more

I really like BLVD coffee. Been going to them for years, and I order the same exact drink. I have noticed, though, that the past few times I have gone, I have gotten ill from my lactose intolerance. How do I know? Because almost 4 hours after I have a coffee, I am ill. It is super important that the barista treat every non-milk order as people having some generalized issue with milk (be it intolerance or allergy). I have noticed that the steamer is not cleared and wiped between usage. Please keep this in mind. While I will be telling them in the future to be sure to clear all equipment of milk laden products, I shouldn't have too, given a stricter adherence to quality control. I can't keep going to BLVD if I keep getting sick. Ugh! read more

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon, looking to support a small business in the area. The shop has so much space for people to study and work. The atmosphere is really nice, and I wish we had more of them scattered around San Jose. I wanted to try something unique, so the cashier recommended the Cubano, their signature drink, after explaining to me that it was sipping type of drink since it's a bit more concentrated. All of the staff was friendly. The Cubano wasn't super strong and was still tasty. It packed a punch. There's ample space in the parking lot and some outdoor seating. I would love to bring my laptop here sometime. read more

Love the shop and all the things they offer. Maybe we were overwhelmed by the menu. So many choices. We were hoping to see Humberto to tell him how much we love his blend of coffee. We picked up a bag of beans to take home. My husband has been a fan of the coffee since trying it first at Blvd Coffee in Los Gatos. We shared a little goodie and some drinks. My mom loved her Mexican Hot Chocolate Latte. My husband and I enjoyed our drinks too. The shop is really cute and was quite busy even though we stopped in about an hour before closing. read more
