    We visited after my niece's kindergarten promotion and arrived during what turned out to be an unexpectedly busy late-morning rush. Several other families from the school had the same idea, and the restaurant appeared a bit understaffed for the crowd. Despite the pace, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had plenty of free parking, which made the experience convenient for our group of two grandmothers, two moms, and two toddlers. We ordered a variety of breakfast items, including eggs benedict, omelets, chocolate pancakes, scrambled eggs, and several sides. Portions were generous, prices felt fair, and the food was solid for a neighborhood breakfast spot. While the ingredients didn't have the fresh farm-to-table quality that some breakfast cafés emphasize, everything was prepared well and satisfying. Service was slower than usual, with one member of our party receiving her meal noticeably later than the rest of us. However, given the unusually busy morning and the staff's efforts to keep up, it felt more like a staffing challenge than a service issue. We ended up sharing food while waiting, and the team checked on us regularly. Overall, Garden's Gate Café is a clean, friendly local breakfast spot with generous portions, reasonable prices, and kind customer service. While the wait was longer than expected on this particular visit, the staff worked hard and maintained a positive attitude throughout.

    Came in for brunch with friends at 1030. Parking here was tough especially in the main lot in front of the restaurant. Cars will idle to wait for a spot to open up. Which makes sense if you are grocery shopping. Otherwise, there is parking alongside the same side as the restaurant that is more accessible I think coming before 11 am is the move on weekends because the wait was up to 1 hr 15 min when we left at 12pm The place itself is just like others have said, very pretty and aesthetic. Lots of plants. Comfy chairs. High ceilings. It's open and airy. It feels fresh, comfortable and picturesque. They have space for groups of 2-6. Probably more but would take longer to get seated. The bar is also a nice option! Now to the food! Drinks are delicious here! Fresh OJ and drool worthy matcha specials. Wouldn't be a bad idea to grab a drink and enjoy them nearby if you are short on time. There's a very cute bridge over a 'botanical' garden directly next to it you could visit too. It's over a bunch of greenery haha. Maybe wildflowers bloom later in the season though. Our server, Juan, was really great! Attentive, helpful and best of all had a great sense of humor. Because the menu is large, we asked him for his recommendations. He gave us the top 5 most popular dishes as well as his favorites. We started with a board and then we weren't sure we should order own plates after. It's a lot of food! It was also super good! I really liked how fluffy and soft the pancakes were. Definitely recommend them and a board if you are coming in a group! The bacon was crispy. Important because I know some people like their bacon on the soggier side. I'm not one of those weirdos! We split it across 3 of us and still had leftovers to take home. We did end up ordering a scramble to share between two and a fun size crab cake Benedict. I forget the name of the scramble but it has a chipotle sauce. We got it with egg whites. I don't recommend it because the sauce overpowers the rest of the dish which is unfortunate because the meat and veggies seemed really good. I also think that having egg yolks may help but I'm not confident because the sauce covered the entire thing. I was a big fan of the crab cakes! I think they're hard to get right. The hollandaise sauce can taste chalky and it's a gamble on whether it's fresh or boxed. Same with the crab cakes themselves. I don't mind if they're frozen to table as long as I can't taste it. It was very crispy! It had pretty perfect crunch without being overcooked. Inside was nice and smooth. Sauce was not chalky! This might be a controversial take with avocado lovers but I really liked that they slice the avocado thinly across the biscuit. Hear me out! It's already a very saucy dish with the hollandaise and avocado is slippery too! So less is more here because your next bite isn't spilling all over the place when you go to cut it. I'm sure avocado lovers don't mind the slippery struggle but I do haha. I also think the thin slices even out the flavors. Nothing overpowers another! I will definitely be back again but before 11 am!

    Caramel macchiato and freshly orange juice

    I always make a stop here when I'm visiting my friends in the neighborhood because I love their fresh squeezed orange juice. This time I also ordered an iced caramel macchiato, and it was made exactly how I like it. The girl who helped me was incredibly sweet and welcoming, even though I didn't catch her name. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots, and I'll definitely keep coming back.

    Garden's Gate Café is a hidden gem for those looking to have an aesthetic brunch in San Jose! The ambience was one of the highlights. The cafe was spacious with lots of greenery and plants throughout. The large windows let in plenty of natural light, which made the space feel bright and open. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, along with a bar area on one side. The menu is quite extensive, with drinks ranging from mimosas, cocktails, and coffees, and food including pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, and a variety of egg dishes. We ordered the Garden's Gate breakfast board, which comes with a mix of breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, and French toast topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and syrup on the side. It also originally comes with bacon, sausage, and ham, but we asked to have those removed. We added chocolate chips to the pancakes for an extra charge. The board was around $35, which is a bit on the pricier side, but you are able to sample a variety of items and it's suitable for sharing. Visually, it was very appealing, and the portions were good for three people. However, the pancakes, waffles, and French toast were a bit plain on their own, so it might have been nicer if they had offered flavors rather than just toppings. I also ordered a caramel macchiato, which was well-balanced, neither too sweet nor too bitter. The main downside was the service. It was quite slow, even though the restaurant wasn't very crowded, and we were waiting quite a bit for our server throughout the meal. It seemed like they may have been understaffed.

    Latte with banana cold foam

    Came here for breakfast around 8:30am. We were able to get seated right away. Perfect time to come. The server recommended the French toast board to share. I thought it was ok, kinda expensive. I'll come back to try their other stuff on the menu.

    Chilaquiles, was a miss, it wasn't noteworthy. The country potatoes had very little seasoning and tasted boiled.

    I was excited to try Garden's Gate Cafe. It has a good review standing on Yelp. It is easy to find, with a parking lot across the street. I was pleasantly surprised how nice and well staff the restaruant was. We were greeted immediately, and put on a waiting list, it was busy. Usually when an establishment is this busy, it's a precursor to good food. The ambiance here is modern/chill vibe. It was fiiled with conversations, and people moving about. Our waitress was pleasant, and took our order quickly. Our drinks were brought out fast, and we were impressed with the plates of food we saw other patrons eating while we waited. We didn't wait long for our food to arrive. The plated food looked very appetizing when placed in front of us. Once I started eating it, I was disappointed. The country potatoes were boiled potatoes, there was no crispiness to them, and barely seasoned. The Chilaquiles were a dud. It was thick soggy chips, with a lot of dry spots, just plain chip flavor. I will not be back. The service was good, but I was bummed by the food.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito, corn beef hash, and chicken fried steak.

    This place is so cute! Great food, drinks, and service. Went with a work crew for post-shift breakfast, and we will certainly be going back. We had the breakfast burrito, corn beef hash, and chicken fried steak. All 3 meals were delicious and serving sizes were large. They also have a great drink menu with specialty cocktails.

    The best experience on a beautiful Sunday morning. Tucked into an apartment complex, it's the neighborhoods best kept secret. Amazing service, everyone is so nice and it's very clean. The food was great. They also have an extensive drink menu as well. Highly recommend!

    Bread Pudding French Toast
    Anna P.

    This cafe is located in a kind of random area, but had a pretty calm and casual ambiance. On a sunday, we ended up waiting only about 15 minutes before we were seated. Parking is a bit of a hassle in this lot so be prepared. We got some drinks to start: Iced vanilla latte and Ube latte. I was honestly really surprised by the flavor of the ube latte, it was amazing. They have many cute drink options and combinations. They have an extensive menu with classic breakfast and brunch items as well as mexican fusion. We decided on the bread pudding french toast. This was honestly more of a banana bread than a french toast. I really enjoy banana bread so was totally fine with it, but it was not what we expected. We also got the gardens gate benedict which was really great! Loved the steak, avocado, peppers, and eggs that were cooked perfectly. House potatoes are standard, nothing to write home about. Service was also good. But I would definitely be coming back here since the prices are super affordable!

    I finally had a chance to visit this place and it was good but nothing crazy. First time, I went on a weekend and it was about a 45 min wait. We had to walk in to join the waitlist but I think adding a Yelp waitlist with the option to join from the app would be more convenient. We were in a rush so we decided to come back on a weekday. We came back and it was very empty and quite peaceful! The pancakes were pretty dry.. but overall, the food is pretty good. It's nothing special though, I think it's more of just going for a cute brunch place. It's a nice place to work remotely and chill as well. Service was kind of slow but the staff were nice. The sign outside is also very cute!

    I absolutely love this place. Everything I've had near has been delicious. I have now been here 6 times and I always try something new when I come there explore their menu. On the weekends there is usually a wait to get in (20-40 min) but when I go during the week I am seated immediately. The service is always great and on point. They also have some Really bomb mocktails. There's only one drink I got that I didn't like very much but everything else I've tried I loved. Their mimosas are my favorite. They are usually playing nice music and it's such a great place to hang with your friends or a little morning date with your partner. Also this is a small preference of mine but I love when a restaurant has a big table that actually fit all the food I'm going to order lol

    Absolutely amazing brunch! Celebrated one of my friends birthdays here in the morning and the food did not disappoint. Good ol' American breakfast and their selection from savory to sweets is great. The matcha lattes were good as well, loved the cold foam on top. They were also very sweet with providing a birthday dessert at the end as well

    Garlic Fries (it's alright)

    Cute & Yummy, lots of parking & if you don't pay attention, you will miss this place. Friendly service when you walk in, doesn't seem like they get too busy, but they do need more workers, because it took too long, to get service, we were seated right away, but it took a while for the waiter to check in with us, taking our order, bringing our drinks & food. We noticed it was literally One Worker & the (chef or cooks) were the ones bringing out our food & bussing tables when the waiter was busy tending to the other customers. Because we were enjoying the company & conversations, we didn't mind waiting, but the food was very cute when it came out, nice portions & pricing "maybe" good enough ‍ I will definitely be visiting more, just to try the other items on the menu, because the food was also delicious.

I got the: 1) Egg Salad Sando: -You can tell these were handmade in store. They had cute washi tape to hold the packaging together. -Solid egg salad sandwich. Slightly sweet white bread and generous amount of egg salad inside the sandwich. Creamy mayo taste that isn't too sour or tart, lots of egg in it. Perfect for an anime con next door. 2) Cappuccino: -I got this no sugar and sugar free and it came out with some pretty latte art. I thought it was mostly ok and boyfriend thought so too, but after several sips and when it was too late since we really had to get to the con, it just became too disgustingly sweet for him and he had to throw it away. 3) Yuzu Fresh Fruit Sparkler: -Yuzu puree with sparkling soda water. -Refreshing and not bad, but even after mixing this was a bit sweeter than what I would have liked and again, in our rush to leave, we couldn't really get this adjusted. I ended up pouring most of it in a water bottle to enjoy later and put in my bag. But ended up not finishing it in the end. Maybe next year I'll try again or just stick to the food stuffs.

From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite.

    Great experience here at The Breakfast Club! Awesome waitress, good food, yummy drinks. Cute…read moreatmosphere too! We initially sat at a table but asked to move to a booth due to baby and me comfort and they were super kind about it. Thank you for elevating the experience.... I ordered the loco moco and I'm so glad I did. Everything on the plate was deeelicious, kimchee is good for you, the meat patty was medium cooked as I asked and the eggs were scrambled super soft as I asked! My man got the low carb, and we expected the ingredients to all be separate but it comes in as a scramble. No biggie though. Was tempted to try the latte flight! That's interesting right? But couldn't justify all that sugar so did the nitro cold brew and it was very enjoyable:) Would def come back again for the same course of action.

    Dined here for a team outing a couple weeks ago. Place was pretty packed for 10am but got seated…read moreright away. I enjoyed the corned beef skillet. Came with hash browns and choice of coffee cake or toast. Opted for an English muffin. Eyed the coffee cake as well which looked good. Reminded me of hobees. They have a pretty extensive menu so it was a little hard deciding what to get. I did see a Monte Cristo on the menu which a lot of places do not have. Will have to come back to try more things!! Note: bathroom is not the cleanest

    This place has been on my must-visit list for years. Friends told me to get the burger, and I…read morefinally had the time to visit this afternoon. It was life altering. I do not believe I have had such a tall, juicy, and filling burger in all of Willow Glen. The Table and it's staff is a treasure, I can't wait to visit again.

    (4.5/5) Had brunch…read moreat The Table on a beautiful warm Wednesday, and the patio was definitely the highlight. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air and made for a really relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has a great vibe overall, especially if you're looking for an outdoor brunch. (Have not been inside) I ordered the steak chilaquiles, and I'd give them a 8.5/10. The flavors were really good, the sauce was delicious, and I liked the addition of the eggs, avocado, and queso. My only complaint was the steak. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well, a bit dry and was tougher than expected, making it difficult to cut. It was still tasty--just not cooked quite the way I was hoping. The mimosas were good too, a great value. Nothing that really stood out as amazing, but definitely nothing bad about them either--they got the job done. What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server Rebecca was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly quick throughout the meal. They checked in at the right times, answered our questions confidently, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being overbearing. Overall, I'd come back, especially to sit on the patio again. With a more tender steak, this meal would've easily been an 8.5 or 9 out of 10!! :)
