San Joseans are kind of obsessed with good food + drinks, can we agree? So it’s no surprise that our city is filled with some pretty cute cafes to get your caffeine on.
Grab your laptop, your closest friends, and a fully charged phone to snap pics of Instagram-worthy latte art — or whatever else you like to bring on a cafe outing — because we’ve got you covered with 8 cute + unique cafes.
Best latte art
When you’re looking for a memorable drink, look no further than the colorful + creative lattes at Voyager Craft Coffee and Con Azúcar Café. Voyager allows guests to add a splash of color to any hot latte on their menu — just ask for “rainbow” with your order. Meanwhile, Con Azúcar is able to create custom latte art of Bad Bunny, Minnie Mouse + customers’ family members.
Best late-night spots
For all you night owls looking for a jolt of caffeine, we’ve got you covered. Coffee Lovers offers top-notch Vietnamese coffee + jasmine milk tea until 12 a.m. every night. Pro tip: If you’re peckish, do try their grilled sandwiches + BBQ pork. Meanwhile, Santa Clara’s Big Mug Coffee Roasters on El Camino Real offers high quality in-house beans and several strong cold brews until 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and until 9 p.m. Sundays.
Cutest look
These local cafes are popular — not just for their beverages and food — but for their bright pink decor. Enjoy a scrumptious brunch or high tea at the K Cafe, surrounded by draping flowers + glittering chandeliers. At Nirvana Soul, sip on specialty lattes while enjoying their art gallery and live events.
