My kiddo & I (big Sanrio fans) were excited to visit this adorable spot while visiting the area…read more It's truly just so cute! There is a photo wall inside & facade along the outside to take pictures with. We only came for counter service. Everything is nicely displayed in cases & a menu is above the counter. During our visit, there was a sign that the donut machine was out of order. Along with sweets & drinks, they sell Sanrio merchandise. There is seating just outside the store. Pop music plays. We didn't get acknowledged or greeted when we entered the space & began to browse. Once we were ready to make our purchase, a staffer approached & was friendly. There was so much cuteness to choose from! We purchased a Pompompurin cookie & a location specific Hello Kitty keychain. Though it felt really hard, the kiddo enjoyed the cookie. The keychain is a nice quality. They only have a cashless payment system & receipts are sent digitally to your phone.

I wish they made it explicit how much the total bill would be as the total bill with auto applied 18%gratuity and sales tax it comes to $177.98 if u were wondering! We were brought in pretty quickly when we arrived at our 12pm tea time. We were seated right in front of the hello kitty and bow wall which was great for pics! U get to choose a beverage, lemonade, hot tea, or soft drink, they give u a strawberry and mousse to start and then bring our ur drinks and then the tea pastries and sweets. I felt it was a good amt of savory as well as sweet. I enjoyed my experience! It is not a cheap experience tho so would def come for a special occasion.

I had a cat lounge reservation for 11am earlier today. The check-in process for that was quick and…read morepretty straightforward. I like the area and location as it's conveniently close to both Santa Clara Caltrain Station and the SCU Campus. It was nice and relaxing being able to spend a full hour surrounded by various cats. Some were playful/energetic, while one snuggled up next to me for a nap. I also like how the fast WiFi available (making it a good place to do some work or some gaming on the go). I'll definitely have to come back and check out their "Work from Nabi: 2-hour" visit option sometim

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever visited…read more First, I had no idea what was going on today. I heard Cat Cafe but thought it would be a cafe and there would be some cats in a window. This is fully play time with a group of sweet adorable cats! We had so much fun! The cats are mostly relaxing with a few playing and doing funny cat things. The usual. Leaping around, looking for stuffed fish and trying to surprise each other. I have an idea that instead of going to see a therapist, go see the cats!! We were so tired when we got there. A cup of the most delicious coffee in the world also happens to be prepared at this magical place!! i had a warm cookie butter coffee and it was amazing!!! I got a taste of other flavors and they were unbelievable!! Truly the best coffee I've ever had. We had a long day and the cup of coffee in hand you get to sit in a two story area with the most joyful innocent creatures. They just want to make friends and learn how to make someone happy. This is good for everyone. By the time we left, we were smiling, relaxed and very happy. If you get a chance, please make a reservation for some wonderful cat affection. They don't care how your hair is cut or what shoes you're wearing. They are nice warm animals and to have a lovely cat for some affection is one of life's most wonderful pleasures. I've got a few friends who could really benefit from an hour with a beautiful ball of sweetness. Highly recommend.

The first part of the store inside has goodies / merch to buy. While the store is free to visit the cats, we felt obligated to buy something as we had a great time. The cats were so cute! I bought a coffee. In the interior cat area there are many cats inside, with many toys to play with. Lots of varieties. We saw one with inly 3 legs but he was so adorable!!! They came in different moods, some were napping and some were ultra hyper. The staff was very nice and it seemed lots of them were getting adopted. Several parties can sit inside because it's so spacious in the cat area. Highly recommended!!!!

Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.

A Vietnamese café that serves breakfast and lunch. The service was good…read more Note: this is one of those places where the servers are scantily clad. I was dropping off my brother's family at the San Jose airport and wanted Vietnamese breakfast. This place came up and it looked good. I didn't really do any research into it so I came here. A lot of other places were closed so I figured what the heck. I got a Vietnamese breakfast that came with eggs, a fresh loaf of bread, some sausage, and some pate/ butter. No complaints here. I thought the food was good. The Vietnamese coffee was also solid. The obvious draw here were for men, so basically the vibe was a dude hang out with sports and news going on in the background. They have their own lot, so there was plenty of parking as well.

It's convenient because…read morebecause you don't have to buy the whole cake or go all the way out to Peter's Bakery, when you can get a portion of it at Bell Bottoms. The cupcakes at Peter's Bakery have more frosting than the regular cake squares at Bell Bottoms. Bell Bottoms is another of the quirky tiny clothing stores in downtown, including Hammer and Lewis Lamas Western Wear Spartan Bookstore Spirit Brothers NEU 2 U Circle A Skateboards and Bell Bottoms For the people who cannot go to the clothing fair every two weeks behind the Kaleid Art Gallery, the stores above might have something. Bell Bottoms might be a part-time business because they often seem to be closed like the cylindrical pastry store and the art galleries nearby. Actually, that whole city block there is quirky, like how downtown San Jose was like years ago before the City Hall and the King Library popped up there.

Melo Melo Kava Bar has a really cool vibe. Lowkey, the whole place felt kind of psychedelic in the…read morebest way. It was calm, colorful, and definitely different from your typical coffee shop or bar. We tried the High Tide, which is straight up kava. It has a very earthy taste, and they give you orange slices to chase it, which definitely helps. It left me feeling pretty relaxed, and the atmosphere made it easy to just hang out for a while. The grapefruit kombucha had just the right amount of tang. If you're into IPAs, I think you'd probably enjoy it. We also ordered the Global Warrior sipping chocolate. It was incredibly rich and definitely made for people who love very dark chocolate. I actually asked for some orange slices to go with it because the citrus balanced it out really well. Overall, it was a fun place to check out and a different experience than I usually go for. I enjoyed trying everything, but nothing really stood out enough to make me feel like I'd be coming back often. Still, I'm glad I stopped in.

The egg is fluffy. The hashbrown is cwispy. The sauce is saucin'. The tortilla is soft and delicious. Truly perfection. I like the chicken and egg toast. It could be love if the bread was toasted better. Needs to be crispier!! The food can take awhile to come out, so I would recommend ordering ahead if possible. Already looking forward to the next time!

Easily accessible by public transportation, and is a short walk from Ashby BART. I love Middle Eastern Desserts, so when I was invited to a casual gathering here, I was delighted to check out Milyar's offerings. It was verrrryyyyy slowwwwww. I think we all waited 20 minutes-ish as they rolled out our orders. Because I'm a sucker for desserts, here's what I tried: Pistachio milk cake: suuuuper moist Chicken mustan: warm and savory with shredded chicken on the inside Knafeh cheesecake: Cheesecake Factory could never! Knafeh has grown on me since I first tried it, and I enjoyed this in cheesecake form. Pistachio Baklava: a classic! This was nice and big, like a small pie slice, and was soooo good. They also gave our gathering a Dubai chocolate milk cake and two baklavas for free.

Everyone seemed happy with their meal. My fish tacos were ok, I thought it was a little bit overly battered, but otherwise good. Solid spot for an easy family friendly or dog friendly meal.

I loved that I could get multiple side salads in small portions. I really enjoyed the spiced squash and the Pacific Picnic.
