I never visited…read moreMil's Diner in Milpitas in the past 16-17 years since working and living in the area, but I knew that I would eventually check them out someday. Good choice. No lines and no crowds on a rainy day morning with plenty of available parking spots in the huge lot. Nothing attractive on the outside in this old popular plaza. The place turned out great with the old fashioned retro red color style interior and the experience was wonderful. Good vibes and positive feelings when walking into it. My lady server provided excellent service and the Hispanic male worker was quick and efficient. Place is clean and menu had good variety of selections. Breakfast is served all day while lunch items start at 11am. My breakfast was very fulfilling and total was $25.30 with everything included. I paid in cash and tipped them $5. Loved my sweet lady server. There was another older woman at the cash register. She's a local as well. I really enjoyed the stop. I had the Fajitas Omelette breakfast and the steak meats in it were very generous. Delicious breakfast exactly as I had expected. My onions green peppers potatoes were perfect with a side of salsa. Sourdough toast was delicious with the garlic butter taste. I really came for my favorite hot chocolate with whipped cream in the morning. I do miss big American breakfasts, especially in these old fashioned and traditional retro spots. Love it. Why didn't I visit this place much earlier? Because they're always busy or full inside and the plaza parking is usually congested with heavy traffic here. Overall, I love the vibes and the service. It's one of those places where you can just have normal casual conversations with the staffs working inside if you are open to it. Beautiful diner. Yes, I will be revisiting in the future. If you love huge food portions, there's great value here. One plate can easily be shared between two people. Nice.

I thought I was the only one but after reading the reviews I feel a little better about my dining…read moreexperience. After we ordered our food, I switched ketchup bottles with the table next to mine because I wanted a fuller bottle, and the fat lady worker scolds me - "hey don't just put an empty bottle on another table" with a snarky attitude. Hey you trashy haired lady, I don't work here, don't tell me what to do. Most of the workers are nice but that old bag had some self-righteous attitude. Seen it a few times before too, with her gross ass make up. If you're so concerned about the ketchup bottles why don't you do your own damn job and make sure they're full, you lazy cow. She kind of ruined my meal, but I'm glad to hear other people complain about her rude behavior. She's probably a miserable sack of potatoes that's mad at herself because she doesn't know how to put down the fork.

I'm glad that I was able to make time for a good big breakfast visit because they are always busy during holidays and weekends. I had a $25 IHOP gift card to use and I did check the menu on their app before I arrived. Value Menu is definitely worth it here. Good and legit. For Dine-In: Value Menu $7: Breakfast Faves Combo comes with 2 eggs/2pancakes/2 breakfast meats. Value Menu $7: House Scramble is a good basic omelette choice with hash browns. Hot Green Tea $4.69 was enjoyable. For Takeout: Value Menu $7: French Toast Faves Combo includes 1 fluffy french toast/2 eggs/2 breakfast meats. I asked for sausages here, but I received bacon instead. Still, food is good. Value Menu $7: Ham & Cheese Omelette is your basic good omelette with 2 pancakes. They packed it up very well with lots of condiments too. Happy takeout. Not bad for using my $25 IHOP gift card on my satisfying meal selections. Overall, I can say that I always come happy and leave happy here. Love tipping them. IHOP Milpitas is worth it for big breakfast cravings or even for lunch & dinner when you're hungry. Great place to chill. I'm always looking forward to making time for the next stop to enjoy more. Big breakfast mornings is heaven.

They have so many new drinks, and I decided to try the banana matcha and Vietnamese salted coffee…read more Their coffee is definitely on the stronger side, so if you're sensitive to caffeine, I'd recommend asking for less coffee. I usually get banana matcha from other places, but I was really impressed after trying their new version. It's absolutely delicious! Their drinks are not only pretty but taste just as good. I'm really impressed with their new drink lineup and highly recommend giving them a try.

This cafe kept popping up every time I searched for cafes in this area, so I finally decided to…read morecome check it out. I came on a Friday morning around 9am and was honestly surprised to see how busy and lively it already was. The cafe itself is really cute and aesthetically pleasing, with lots of plants, floral prints, and pretty lighting. There are a couple of tables outside and quite a few cozy couches and chairs inside, so the space definitely has a nice vibe. However, I think the service and ordering process could use some improvement. There was only one person working, and he was clearly very busy and overwhelmed trying to make drinks for everyone. There was also no one else available to take orders. They do have a self-service kiosk, but I couldn't find all of the menu options on it, so I had to ask the person working for help. I felt bad because he was already so busy making drinks, but he was really kind and came over to help. Even he couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to order it through the kiosk, so he ended up making the drink for me himself. The good news is that the latte was actually really good! I think having another person working during busy hours or improving the ordering system would make a huge difference. Overall, I liked the cafe and the atmosphere, but the ordering experience is the main reason I'm giving it 3 stars.

I've been frequenting this restaurant for about 3 years. I almost always have the same server,…read moreMiriam. She's outstanding and always helps me with my every-time request - make it spicy! It started with the barbacoa chilaquiles. When I saw that that the chilaquiles in the menu had habaneros on it, I knew I had found my place. I often cook at home with ghost and scorpion peppers, which are not traditionally found in restaurants, but they've done some pretty amazing improvisation when I've asked to make it work. One time, I recall getting the chilaquiles and asking for extra habaneros and asking if their chef had a secret hot sauce that was stronger than "white people spicy." Miriam brought me a little ramekin of a pepper sauce puree that the chef prepared - and it was EPIC. I don't ask for that every time, but you know whoever was on the line took the request seriously and actually had some fun making my mouth burn. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of their willingness to "play" in the kitchen. Today, I went for breakfast and ordered the Carne En Su Jugo for my first time. Not just here - first time ever eating it anywhere. I had totally forgotten to ask them to make it spicy! I asked Miriam if there was anything they could do to spice it up. She assured me they could. Then I received it. And I tasted it. And it was cathartic. The chefs prepared a PERFECTLY spicy stew, and I downed that whole thing in 7 minutes. It was delicious, put some sweat on my brow, and left me feeling more than satisfied with my meal. I love this place! Miriam is always great every time I've been there. I will continue supporting this business as long as they keep doing business. Please give my compliments to the chefs again. Their creativity keeps me coming back for spicy treats!

Came here after seeing lots of talk online about Kenny's being the best breakfast burrito spot…read morearound SJ. Kenny and the staff are extremely kind and caring, and even when the place fills up they deliver excellent service. However, I thought the food we ordered was just ok. Ordered the #1 (Breakfast burrito), #5 (breakfast sandwich). Both items' composition was not the best. They were wrapped with the wrapping paper that didn't securely hold the entire sandwich/burrito securely. Especially for the sandwich, the cheese and meat were easily spilling out from the sides. The burrito was standard, but I felt the same way more or less regarding its structure. Additionally, the flavor was ok and good at best. The meal came with red salsas, which look to be house made since it was clear there is pickled onions and some other little things in it. Honestly it is an ok salsa, I'm not sure if this particular flavor is what I'm looking for to complement a breakfast burrito normally. We had an OK experience. The restaurant seems like a fairly small shop (run by family)! While I'm all for supporting local and mom/pop shops, I probably would not wait over 15 minutes for it. Maybe will have to try the bulgogi items next time! But for breakfast burrito/sandwich it was just ok to me.

The eggs and hash brown's were too oily and needed salt, the sauce on the crab benny was grainy. The dishes completely missed the mark, they were below average for sure.

The coffee was good, service was nice, food came out fairly quickly and the restaurant is beautiful and spacious.

We went to Crossiante to celebrate my grandma's birthday with tea time! When I walked in, I was…read moresurprised to see how many people were still buying pastries in the afternoon. We checked in and were seated right away, and the setup was absolutely beautiful! They brought out our tea first, which we enjoyed while waiting for the pastry tower to arrive. Once it came out, they told us to eat from top to bottom, so that's exactly what we did! Each bite was delicious, everything tasted freshly baked and made, and I especially loved that the pastries weren't overly sweet. Although we enjoyed eating the tower from top to bottom, next time we would probably go from bottom to top since we like to save our sweets for last! Of course, we couldn't leave without getting more pastries to bring home. They have plenty of classic pastries, like croissants, along with more unique specialties, like their croissant cube. Everything looked and tasted so fresh, with that perfect flaky, crackly texture. The pastries are a little pricey for bakery items, but in my opinion, they're definitely worth it for the quality and freshness. Overall, we had such a lovely time celebrating my grandma's birthday here and would definitely come back for more pastries!
