    iced vanilla bean latte
    Melissa N.

    Small coffee shop downtown, placed an order for 13 coffees and they were able to get them all done surprisingly quickly. Great price for the quality and amount of coffee. Their horchata latte was delicious and perfectly spiced, and vanilla bean was lovely and vanilla-y with what looked like real vanilla beans.

    Came here after getting hungry cycling, parking is terrible so I recommend just biking here because there are cycling stands outside this cafe, unfortunately the tables outside are dusty and not as cute as the ones inside. Mainly was attracted by the amazing matcha drink pictures and found out it cost extra for the pretty ceremonial grade matcha sprinkle on top so I opted for the normal version- which was actually really, really well mixed and tasty - so highly recommend as a cold drink for a nice sunny day! Honestly the pastries were okay and kinda $$$...I would stick to the drinks. They warmed up my almond croissant to the point of it becoming dry/tough and also got a thin roll danish that looked kinda meh, that I thought maybe tasted better than it looks but was very small and a bit stale. I can see this spot is popular with visitors and the servers were all very nice about it despite the sudden influx of people flooding in and standing around with long bouts of menu analysis paralysis.

    Topping off after breakfast with my fave Heart of Darkness w/extra half/half. The best pour over when I'm feeling sluggish a Quick pick me up before my flight home. GVA a great place for coffee or just a bite for breakfast/Lunch.

    Cozy lil coffee shop with cute retro interior! Got the iced blueberry coffee. We ordered on the kiosk and our order took a bit of time to come out but the staff looked hard at work and were friendly! Yummy flavor and strong coffee that kept me at a good energy buzz the rest of the day.

    Love this little cafe/coffee shop stop. Covid has killed some good life vibes in downtown Morgan Hill during pandemic, so weekends these days are a blessing if you come this way. GVA Cafe is in an old corner building/landmark of downtown. You can't miss it. Plenty of available patio tables and chairs outside as well as inside. This place used to be bustling with excitement and many more customers. It was quiet after lunch today. Self order at kiosks. Pastries are at the front counter. Customers are mainly locals and tourists. I had the best cup of hot apple cider here. It's great for sweet autumn and November vibes. Cashier forgot my cider, so I reminded her about it. Iced matcha latte was ok. I enjoy the interior environment. Not huge, but happy and cozy inside. Prices are up these days, but it's still a relaxing stop to chill. Having GVA cafe here in a walkable and noticeable part of downtown Morgan Hill is amazing. Imagine hikers and bikers stopping by to grab and go. No lines or crowds today. Perfect time.

    Aesthetically pleasing. This super cute small cafe shop was wonderful. We stopped by earlier today, around noon and they were quite busy but they managed to prepare this scrumptious Breakfast Croissant expeditiously! This was our first visit, but after today, we'll definitely be coming back for more! Definitely pay this spot a visit if you're in the area or plan to be, it's a HIT not a miss ;)

    There was a piece of a broken glove in my order as well as a long hair in the bag with my pickle. Disgusting.

    This is what an affogato looks like now. Half the size. No toppings. In a comically large cup. $8.50.

    I'm not sure what happened. We usually came here for coffee/affogato on a lazy weekend. We hadn't been in since the new owners. We got 2 affogato today, $8.50 each. It's literally half the gelato and half the coffee that it used to be. NO whip cream. NO caramel or chocolate syrup. The comically large cup just makes it look even more pathetic. I'm not sure that we will be back. It tasted as good as it used to but I think we'll find somewhere else or I'll just make one at home.

    We have come out here many times the food is always great the service and staff are great! We usually eat outside and it's a great place to go hang out. They even serve beer. We usually come every weekend.

    Saturday morning and ready for some great tasting food. Ambience is relaxed and laidback. Service is always good and fast. Employees are friendly and helpful. Place was very busy and the employees were really good at getting those orders out. Food was made fresh as we ordered it. Everything was tasty and satisfying, great choice for some good food. Ordered the breakfast bagel, breakfast burrito, BLT one with avocado and one without, finished off with a fruit waffle. They always have the best bacon here, its crunchy and cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this place when your in Downtown Morgan Hill.

    Nice little corner cafe with plenty of outdoor seating. Here is a place you can grab a coffee, Italian soda, gelato, many breakfast and lunch options, including crepes. Friendly staff and a relaxing vibe.

When he visited his parents recently they had talked about MoHi and when they visited downtown, he saw the restaurant and automatically knew we needed to try it. We travel everywhere with our dogs and he found out that they had a dog friendly patio. A few months later, we were in town and decided to try it for breakfast. There were not a lot of reviews or pictures of breakfast so he made it a point to order some items recommended by our server, Ty - who was phenomenal by the way. Always checked in on us and even complimented how nice and chill our doggy was. We ordered a vanilla latte, orange juice, the breakfast pizza, and the eggs Benedict. The breakfast pizza came highly recommended by Ty. On paper it sounded delicious, but we were still reluctant, because a breakfast pizza? It was delicious, lol. They have a sauce on there that is very similar to what In-N-Out uses and the farm fresh eggs and cheese brought everything together. I decided to try the eggs benedict because the English muffin is scratch-made. The benedict was savory with confit potatoes and fruit. The only thing that threw me off was the fresh fruit was tossed in a pesto dressing. I can definitely do sweet and savory, and all the other weird, eclectic mixes, but this one was just too different for me. The orange juice was a highlight because they literally squeeze it right in front of you at the bar. They have other mixes that they can do as well like orange carrot or orange strawberry. So make sure you ask what is on the menu for fresh squeezed fruits because this one you don't wanna miss Outside there are at least 20 tables with dog friendly written all over the patio area. They have water bowls, turf, and even a cute little fire hydrant. There was a doggy on the patio already who was well-behaved. Overall, we'd be back to try the rest of the breakfast menu!

    Southern Farm MOHI…read moreFarms delivers true farm-to-table dining as they serve up locally sourced seasonal ingredients, including some from their very own Uvas Farm. They are part of the Léal restaurant group, which has several similarly named restaurants in the works (MOHI Pasta and MOHI at the Grove), as well as a vineyard (Léal Vineyards) and a flower bar (Luxe Flower Bar). They also apparently own a theater, mansion, ranch, and an upcoming complex that will include housing, shops, and more restaurants. The Good: * Several free lots and free street parking * Catering available * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * They also have a bakery and café available if you're just looking for a light morning breakfast. * Service was friendly but stretched very thin during both our visits as the servers were working more tables than they should've been. * Overall, their pricing is very fair for the quality of the food. * Local beers on tap, as well as a large wine menu. * Wood-fired pizza oven. I didn't try the pizza, but my son wolfed it down. * Carissa loved her brunch Short Rib Fried Rice bowl, especially all the perfectly cooked butternut squash. * Tempura broccoli was fantastic. I loved that they served this instead of the ubiquitous fries to go with the burgers. The Meh: * I don't know why they can't have a menu on their website? The only way to view what's available is you have to pretend you're making an order. * The Brunch Loco Moco was just okay; the hamburger was a bit overcooked for my liking. Otherwise, the egg, rice, and gravy were delicious. * Their burger-to-bun-to-topping ratio is not good. It's mostly that their buns are much, much too thick for the tiny smashburger patties, and the whole thing ate very dry despite all the cheese. I did enjoy the crispiness of the bacon, though. * The salmon in the Roasted Salmon Bowl was also overcooked, and the amount of salmon for the price point wasn't really worth it, in our opinion. The Ugly: * Vegetarian Farm Spring Rolls were pretty bad, if I'm being honest. The only reason we wolfed them down was we had just arrived after a long 5+mile hike and were starving. The ricepaper skin was tough and leathery, and the filling wasn't very substantial. The sauce also needed to be thicker to stick to the rolls. * Parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you arrive during the nearby farmers market (Sat 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.), as they are located in the large parking lot on Depot St. Conclusion: Overall, we had very high hopes for this place, as this is the type of place we usually love. However, even after two visits, we just don't see ourselves coming back for another visit anytime soon.

Another sign states that Betsy's has been serving this community since 1981. I was greeted immediately upon entering and advised to "just sit anywhere." I grabbed the first booth I encountered and was brought water and menu right away. The waitress took my order of a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings ($16.50). A few minutes later the onion rings of my dreams (super crispy on the outside and a real onion rings inside with enough crunch left that you can bite through without dragging a soggy onion out of its outer shell, so each mouthful is both onion and crunchy coating) arrived and a sandwich with crispy (not soggy, underdone) bacon, hefty burger patty (done just how I like them with carmelized edges and perfectly done thick center) with cheese, pickles, red onions, lettuce and mayo. I asked them to leave off the tomato due to my food allergies. The bun was soft but held up well to the heft of the sandwich. The decor was classic 60's style diner. While the seats were well padded and the covering looked practically new, some of the tables showed the wear of the years on the corners. There is also a short lunch counter next to the kitchen. What really caught my attention is the staff seemed to know most of the guests and greeted them by name as they came and went and inquired into different aspects of their lives.

The food was delicious and the burritos were packed with ingredients and very filling. Overall, despite the long wait and noise level, I'd still come back because the staff was kind and the food was worth it.
