    The "Crema" coffee shop
    Bob N.

    I checked out the website before visiting. There is a photo, a one-paragraph blurb, and a contact form. No menu or other information. I visited on a weekday night, but there was no parking to be found... I had to drive around on side streets for twenty minutes and then walk back to the restaurant. The inside has kind of a cafeteria feel... not very welcoming. You enter the restaurant through a coffee shop called Crema, which seems to operate as a separate business(?). Surprisingly, despite the lack of parking, there were only a few people in the restaurant. The staff seemed totally disinterested, and service was slow. They do have a nice selection on the menu - sandwiches, burgers, tacos, lobster, oysters, crab, and more. Sadly, everything we tried was disappointing. The shrimp I had were overcooked and rubbery, and everything was way over-salted to the point of being almost inedible. Portions were small, which in this case I didn't mind at all. This is not a place I'll return to.

    This is such a lovely and underrated place! I wasn't so sure about stopping into dinner after seeing some reviews. But, I'm so glad we did because we really enjoyed the food. There's ample parking on the side and plenty of tables inside while outside as well. There's ambiance of the place has a cool ocean vibe with accents of Vietnamese culture. The person took our order right away and was attentive when we were trying to decide. The food was really flavorful and I liked the different dynamics of the dish. Especially the slides, they were so delicious and juicy. The crab cakes were pretty fresh and tasted good with the ailoli sauce. While the fish and chips were a huge portion and pretty nicely fried. Definitely will be back for dinner!

    Must visit in San Jose. Everything On the menu is delicious. We always order everything... No kidding. This spot is super spacious and even got 2 stories but never been up there, maybe one day

    Clam chowder bread bowl
    Candy V.

    Food was amazing! We had the seafood nachos, lobster taco, clam chowder in a bread bowl and sampler platers. It had calamari, deep fried oysters and fish. To drink we had michelada with shrimps and IPA.

    Phenomenal lobster rolls and garlic fries

    Phenomenal lobster rolls and garlic fries that I tell everyone who listens about. I have been to this place a number of times, very consistent with flavor and quality every time.

    Firecracker lobster roll

    June and Dina are not only adorable but serve up delicious food coupled with amazing customer service. We ordered a bit of everything but the favorite were the ceviche, firecracker lobster roll was hot and steamy and out of this world oysters. Everything came quickly but with enough time to finish what we already were devouring. Portions were generous and everything we had was so yummy. Give these sweet ladies a try-you will NOT be disappointed!

    Garlic noodles w/ lobster
    Marlette C.

    Found this place on Yelp searching for raw oysters. Didn't realize this place shared a building with Crema coffee. I was waiting at the register for a couple of minutes, and I looked in the kitchen to ask if they were open. The person said someone on the other side could help me. The other side meant at Crema. So I walked over and asked for help. Ordered the dozen mixed oysters on a half shell and the garlic noodles with lobster. The oysters came out first. Don't know what kind of oysters we got, but they were all good. One or two of the varieties were more on the briny side. Oysters were good & fresh. Oh! Oysters were also $2 each for happy hour (it was 2pm on a Sunday). Garlic noodles were very garlicky & tasty! There was a lot of lobster in it too. It's well worth the price at $17 in my opinion. I'd give a 3/5 for service since it was pretty slow. The staff was nice, but the oysters took about 15 minutes and the garlic noodles another 15 minutes. Also they didn't check on us after we got our food. Everyone was busy working on the Crema side. I think there was only one person in the Pier kitchen prepping and cooking.

    I tried the coffee next door at Crema and it was good but they don't make their syrups fresh. They have a large selection of coffee styles. We are next door at pier 402 and I would come back for their HH. My tuna nicose salad had plenty of tuna and tasted fresh. The Paloma was fairly priced and was very effervescent. The only downfall was the ran out of bread bowl for their clam chowder and they served it with overly buttered sourdough slices. It was meh. It was a casual Saturday but enjoyed getting out and trying a new spot.

    Vietnamese iced coffee + cream and crumb coffee cake + warm.  :+)
    Ivan S.

    This review is for Crema Coffee inside that shares a space with Pier 402. I got a Iced Vietnamese coffee w/ cream and a coffee crumb cake that was fantastic! Both were a great combo over conversation with a friend. The iced Vietnamese is served with coffee espresso and creamer so I added more creamer because even the American style Viet coffee taste is too bitter for my liking. Warm coffee crumb cake was good the portion was on the smaller side and did have a nice cake and sugar flavor not overwhelming. I recommend both the iced Viet coffee and coffee cake to caffeine lover alike. The space for Crema is nice cafe, antiquated and shares a place with Pier 402 that serves seafood and alcohol spirits in the evening. Enso forever. Happy hour M-F. 3-7pm. All day Sunday. Matcha latte. "For me, becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self.

The music was really loud and I couldn't hear the conversation of the person with me so the Asian bartender helped us turn down the music a little. It wasn't until mid evening that I realized there was another bar in the back. The bartender told us the cocktails at Alter Ego were more fancy. Definitely instagramworthy! Tried two of the cocktails at Alter Ego. Overall, both have different vibes. Alter Ego is good for a more intimate dark setting date vibe. Service was pretty good at Still OG! The Asian bartender checked in several times and was really nice as well as provided some recommendations on which happy hour specials were most popular which helps since I'm indecisive. The back does seem like a more classy environment and I'd choose this setting over a dive bar any day. The music at still OG that they were playing at the time wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they mix it up from time to time. I would love to hear some oldies!

The front was pretty full so we checked out Alter Ego first, but they were also full with nothing available until 11pm, so Still OG it was. You grab a spot yourself and then order at the bar. All cocktails are on tap, which actually ended up being great because I was between a few of them and the bartender was able to give me samples of them. We also ended up getting an order of the Chicken skewers, which were super tender and juicy. We were too late on our visit, but they do have a daily happy hour that includes some of the skewers and fries, as well as some drinks and shots. Service was super friendly and vibes and music were great! Cocktails, weren't the best since they were on tap, but still good enough! I would absolutely come back here for a drink and snack though!

Memorable drinks were the perfect pear and the Andean Ascent. Perfect pear was not fruity at all and had a nice aroma and spice to it. The Andean ascent was a nice drink to start with, refreshing with a bit of fizz.

One star off here, she should have let us be seated at the front since we had a reservation and they had two booths available when we went for lunch. As far as food goes, I like them better than other Spanish restaurants in the South Bay. My daughter loves beets and the beets salad here has 3 types (purple, pink and golden), which she loves. My favorite is their steamed mussels, they were fresh, decent in size and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed their Spanish ham plate; I like how they let us customize which meats to be included. My daughter liked their chicken skewers more than the beef; for some reasons the chicken was more tender than the beef. I like ordering the bottle of rose to go with the food... well, only if can enjoy it when we have more table space though. Overall, pleasant experience and we will go back for sure. A good place to chill and hang out with friends and/or family.
