Great food and great service So far, I went there 3 times and definitely I will be back again and again read more

The crab Benedict is flavorful and although not hot when served has an almost minty profile, while still being extremely hearty and filling, the potatoes not so much, I would recommend subbing the potatoes or asking for no potatoes if possible. The tiger spiced chai is wonderfully spicy and laced with cinnamon. The service is fast, within two minutes of placing my order I had two servers bringing my Benedict and Tiger spiced chai. The interior is well crafted and made of primarily wood which lends to a cozy cafe atmosphere. Although the food was good and filling it's not cheap, for these two items before tax it was 28, after it was 32. read more

iJAVA Cafe - Pistachio & coconut cream latte with a beef brisket burrito - Cafes Near Me - San Jose, California

My b.f. and I have been in quite a few times for coffee and drinks. We've always wanted to try breakfast. Finally today we did. I apparently ordered the wrong item because I was completely disappointed with the breakfast burrito. I asked for veggie version with no bacon. I asked for extra beans since that to me would replace the bacon. The burrito was sooooo small. It didn't have any beans, pico or avocado which I was told with my phone call order it would have. I noticed on the menu the burrito comes with salad or fruit. Over the phone order I was not asked which one I wanted. So, I mentioned it and ordered the side salad. What a joke!! It was a few pieces of iceberg lettuce. I thought this place prided themselves on quality, healthy ingredients. The fruit in a picture on the Yelp site looks substantial and good. But my side salad' was useless and insulting. I also asked for the chipotle sour cream on the side. Whatever salsa I got on the side was hard to decipher if it was chipotle sour cream. The salmon Benedict was a good portion but on the salty side. Mainly I'm frustrated I paid $18 for one of the wimpiest burritos I've ever had. I would just walked to El Jalepeno Rojos or down to Tony at Delmas Market had I known I was going to be ripped off and still hungry after I ate. The owner was supposed to call me back but that promise hasnt come to fruition. I realize it only happened today but I truly want my $18 back! Potatoes, egg and cheese with none of the ingredients I was looking forward to is a sham. read more

My mom brought me the California breakfast sandwich, which was good, but the avocado was not ripe enough so that's why I only gave a four stars . Overall I will recommend and I think I'm gonna try the burrito next time. read more

If you haven't been here, then you are missing out. Has to be hands-down one of the best cafés in San Jose. The employees are welcoming and funny. Food is great and halal! So many different types of coffee and for it to be good is awesome! The place has become nicer over the years. They added more decor and used local artist. read more

2nd visit...ordered the wrong thing. Definitely do NOT recommend the acai berry bowl. Acai bowl: Granola was not a topping but the base. It was buried in the bottom of the bowl and there was a lot of it. This bowl was more like an overpriced parfait (granola, yogurt, honey, and fruit, nothing special) with liquid acai soup on top. See photo. Whoever made it doesn't seem to know that the acai should be the base and that it should be frozen. The ratio of granola and yogurt to acai was way too high. The fruit was fresh, and the flavors were basic but good. Would not order again. Not worth the ~$12. If I'd gotten this on my 1st visit, I would not have returned... Katsu burrito: Delicious!! Loved the fresh spinach. Portion size is really large. The burritos and chilaquiles seem to be where this cafe excels, foodwise. We also got a pistachio latte and a toffee latte, both were great...def recommend! read more

iJAVA Cafe - Acai Berry Bowl (~$12). Do not recommend. - Cafes Near Me - San Jose, California

Have passed this place so many times but tried it for the first time today for both food and coffees. Food was amazing, avocado on toast, the lox bagel and the parfait were really tasty. We had our dog so had an outdoor table. Outside seating is ok, main issue is freeway noise. Inside was really nice, bright and looked like it was updated recently. I liked that they used actual cups, plates and utensils rather than disposable ones - so much nicer drinking from a cup than paper cup. All together a great find and only a short less than 5 min walk from Children's Discovery Museum. read more

Love the chai tea. The best i have had so far and you can ask them to serve it warm and not hot. Perfect! read more

iJAVA Cafe - Cafes Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my favorite breakfast spot in San Jose! Everything I've ever tried from here is always amazing, and the staff is so friendly.

Came here on a Saturday for brunch and didn't have the best experience. We got the chilaquiles, fully loaded burrito, iced americano, and a coconut cream latte. The fully loaded burrito was really solid & I would definitely get it again. Perfect ratio of filling & really satisfying without being too heavy. My partner enjoyed the americano and I was pleasantly surprised at the coconut cream latte. The chilaquiles was just ok but I found a short grey hair cooked into the corn chips. The back of the kitchen was open (facing parking lot) & we could see who was cooking so the hair was a match for one of the cooks lol. The other part was that I checked into Yelp to get a free drink as we ordered 2 entrees and had my phone facing one of the managers (?) as I checked in. I guess she didn't see so I checked in again & the notification came up that I had just checked in. So I checked in 2 more times right in front of her & but she didn't believe me because Yelp showed "you have already checked in" vs the little redemption button that pops up the first time. Yelp doesn't let you check into a place you're not near so logically it would make sense that I was telling the truth that I did it & wasn't trying to jip her. But she didn't believe me so that was a waste of checking in 4x. I wouldn't come back to this location but definitely would like to check out the other one located in willow glen. read more

iJAVA Cafe - Short grey hair pulled out of Chilaquiles - Cafes Near Me - San Jose, California

The food and the ambience were great! We appreciated the space - the outdoor patio was very kid friendly! The menu is also quite varied - with many options to choose from and as a bonus the meat here is all halal! (Signage everywhere) The only room for improvement would be in the service. The servers, although attentive and friendly were very slow (even though it wasn't crowded). The food took a while to come out and the order didn't all come together. So there are minor improvements they could do here to make it all run smoother. Overall - we enjoyed the delicious food and loved the ambience too! read more

TODAY! I ordered the salmon Benedict and the first plate the eggs were fully cooked as hardboiled so I returned the plate and it was remade. Second time the eggs were cooked better however the salmon was spoiling!! Rotten!! I hope I don't get food poisoning! I was refunded and we tried the brisket bowl and I'm sorry but food was sub par In my opinion. Only good was the French toast and the coffee and the remodel inside. This place has their hands in too many baskets and the quality has severely declined in the past few years. I won't be back here anymore. read more

This is a great coffee shop which serves a variety of beverages as well as some delicious food items. My office had a leadership meeting here the other day and we enjoyed breakfast with great coffee and tea. Prices are reasonable , Service is friendly, and they have a warm and inviting dining area. Parking can be a little difficult but there is a paid lot across the street and a small adjacent free parking lot. I was lucky and got a Street space. I highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, or just day nice place to take a break. read more

Not in the best location, between 2 freeways and in a neighborhood with condemned homes. Parking is a challenge. However, once you are inside, it is cozy. The menu is somewhat similar to Crepevine. There was a significant wait for our food. 32 minutes. However, coffee drinks seemed quick. The falafel wrap was very good. They gave me hot sauce on the side, which was too hot for me. The french toast was fluffy, which made it not as filling as it appeared. read more

This is a hidden gem in San Jose and you should absolutely stop here if you're ever in town for a convention. I lived downtown for about 18 months and never got to visit this place. Firstly you will come in contact with a friendly staff. Then you will see lots of people sitting at tables with computers or reading books. The ambience is very chill. You will also see longer tables where people are sharing. The menu is very straightforward. I got the eggs Benedict with crab. It also had some sort of pesto sauce on the bottom. And I'm not sure what type of bread it was, but it was like a really soft English muffin. One of the eggs was poached perfectly and the other one was like a soft boil, but had the same effect. The absolute star of this place for the potatoes. I'm not sure what seasoning was on there, but it had a slight pint of cayenne, and the texture and softness were perfect. I had a mocha for my drink. This was right in line with any other coffee shop. There was outside seating. Parking 3/5 Quality 5/5 Cleanliness 1/5 Return value 5/5 Time to be acknowledged 5/5 read more

Came here on a Thursday morning and got what most advised - the Chilaquiles. I wasn't much of a fan. Felt like too many flavors into one (they didn't quite complement) and the nachos were soggy. However, maybe that's just my taste preference. The cafe was cute overall and many came through, so evidently a popular spot. read more

A small and quiet space to grab breakfast close to the children discovery museum. You order at the register and wait with a number and someone from the kitchen area brings out your food. Salmon benedict was good but the egg was a bit overdone which you can see in my picture of the review. Potatoes were the best thing on the plate. They have a wide variety of drinks to try from coffees, teas, and drinks from freezer. Croissant toasted with egg was soft and moist but the eggs could use a little more seasoning to make it more interesting. My kids scrambled eggs were good but pricey. There is a few spots behind the restaurant for customers. Good spot to catch up with a friend. read more

Was looking for a coffee/breakfast joint when I came across this on Yelp. Drive across town to check it out.. was planning on getting the avocado toast based on Yelp photos but the California breakfast sandwich caught my eye on their menu and decided to try that as I'm a sucker for croissant sandwiches. Also ordered one of their specialty lattes- the pistachio latte. Pro: clean, friendly staff.Pistachio latte was very good- even surprised me with little avocado bits in the latte! Unusual but tasty. Would definitely order again. Cons: I lucked out getting parking out front.. not sure where I would have parked otherwise since it's a main thoroughfare with limited parking . As far as the sandwich- hate too much egg and cheese and the croissant was a bit small for the price of the sandwich.. which was like $13.45 (whole bill was $21.11 for the sandwich and latte, a bit pricey IMO.) The sandwich was pretty Lachlan flavor and had no meat (bacon!) which I feel is a necessity in a breakfast sandwich. Also, I was offered "salsa" with it which was as more or less a glorified tomato sauce- no spicy or complementary to the sandwich. To sum it up, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing and maybe my sandwich isn't a good representation of their food, but I think I'll stick with lattes only here. read more

Service was awesome as Robert greeted us with a smile, he was helpful with our questions and patient being that we had 6 people in our group. We had their pistachio latte and their coconut cream latte: DELICIOUS! French toast was good. I liked their chilaquiles that had a homemade guajillo/chile Ancho sauce. Their eggs Benedict were a little on the bland side but not too shabby; they come with a side of potatoes with bacon pieces which were seasoned and had a little kick. Ambience was open with greenery which made it calming. Long review long. I would definitely try this spot again! read more

Noisy bad food cold in the morning now I don't think so. Food is just bland so so. When I come into a restaurant, I want to be attended to. I don't wanna be waiting for someone just to look at me and I don't like to be seated on cold hard seats. They keep the temperature extremely cold most mornings your food is cold within minutes of bringing it out just because of the cold temperature. read more

I came here after looking for a new coffee place downtown and I'm glad I found this spacious spot! Parking is a bit tricky, so I just park on the street on the corner. iJava closes early but I can see someone studying here or grabbing lunch with friends/coworkers. I was craving Mediterranean, and I just got to say, I don't recommend it. The falafels were just not good and the ingredients were so-so. It didn't taste fresh. The menu is so extensive that it was a bit daunting, but I'm giving a good review for the service and I'm pretty sure they do their other basic foods well like sandwiches and pastries! The people working here are so nice. At the cashier's recommendation, I got the pistachio latte. It's an interesting flavor and I would recommend it! I would come back to try their other foods. read more

It was my first time going to this place. The staff were very friendly. It was raining and they were playing music so the vibes were very chill and cozy. I liked how they had a bit of everything for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was there for breakfast and got the French toast. I don't really like French toast but I loved this one. It was so light and fluffy and came with very sweet fruit. All the pastries looked good and I got the cherry one. All of our food looked and tasted so good. The only downside is the parking, you have to get lucky with street parking. Besides that I had a great experience and can't wait to go back read more

Loved their food, variety and having HALAL options is superb. I hope they expand even more with bigger parking lot nearby. The service is always friendly and the ambiance is nice. Their restroom doesn't have a baby changing table so mimmmies with babies plan accordingly :) Their salmon Benedict is delish and their coffee is very good given that it is not coffee exclusive. They have fresh juices , my favorite is carrot juice. read more

Food was good, not something you expect, but nevertheless it's something different you can try. Service is great, owner recommended drink that was delicious, I believe I had the tiger latte. I was hoping that I can try their beetroot latte, but apparently they no longer serve it. I always feel that updating their menu online would be helpful to incoming new customers. The place was kept clean and tidy, pretty quaint. I probably would try again this place if I happen to be near this area. read more

Happy to have found this cafe on Yelp while at the annual San Jose Summer Jazz Festival. We typically eat closer to our hotel, but noticed many of our regular spots had closed. This cafe did not disappoint. It was a little over a half mile pleasant walk from the hotel. The interior was clean and stylish. Pour over coffee samples we offered when we arrived. The menu had quite a few vegetarian & vegan options (bonus!). I opted for the vegetarian crepe which was delightful. The crepe was quite thin- which I like. Plenty of tasty vegetables inside. My friend had the vegan bowl & loved it. Service was very friendly & personable. We will return next visit to San Jose! read more

Whether my son and I dine in or get it delivered, our food and drinks have never disappointed us! Yum yum!

Great selection of breakfast & lunch items. I had the vegetarian bowl which was delicious - especially loved the sweet potato! You can also add egg for additional protein for a couple bucks. I almost didn't get coffee as I'd already had some that morning but it was close to noon so I decided on the pistachio latte with almond milk & asked for it less sweet. OMG, it was so good - just sweet enough without tasting like a dessert & the coffee flavor still came through. It even included some pistachio pieces. I would go back just for another one of these lattes. The seating area is not very large but we went around 11:00 on a weekday & there were lots of places to sit. Nice place to sit & chat. My friends had eggs Benedict & avocado toast which they both enjoyed. We'll be back! read more

A halal place serving delicious variety of brunch dishes! We ordered Eggs Benedict, Smash burger and French Toast and everything was fresh, delicious and generous servings.
