The food is quite good and the service is excellent! I like to get a few eggs and toast, which is tasty and under $10 if "I play my cards right".
The owner Joe is very friendly and I'm glad I've gotten to know him. I'm grateful for small diners, stores, and businesses like this!
There aren't many small diners downtown, so give Peanuts a try for some breakfast or breakfast for lunch!
9/30/2023 @ 11:00am. Renovation completed, same ownership, still updating menu. Hours still in progress. New menu with specials. 2/18/2023 Closing end of February 28, 2023 not enough customers, could not survive Covid. What a sad occasion for a family business. 5/7/2022 Still the best place to get a reasonable priced meal. Get the steak, eggs and rice
Great little hole in the wall....
Delicious food & the service was beyond excellent!
Back in college, when I attended SJSU, I would dine at peanuts, local hangout. It must've been at least 22 years since I last ate here and it's brought back tons of memories. The menu is different and the offerings are current and pretty darn good. Service is really good and is fitting for a college hangout. Really glad to have to opportunity to come back.
Haven’t been in some years but I literally grew up eating at this place. Good food, good atmosphere, nice friendly people. Myun was the best! Him and my grandfather had a good report so I had a tab at this spot as a teenager lol. Ate breakfast here everyday before school
Great 👍 place always coming back ...Friendly 🙌 ppl great cooks all in Many Levels everything.. Thnx 😊 🙏
Get a decently big bite to eat here for a budget price. The food may not disappoint you.
Solid breakfast fare at very reasonable prices. The coffee is tasty and the relaxed atmosphere lends itself to conversation and comeraderie with our fellow humans. Order under the menu and pick up your food when they call your number. Fancy? No. Delicious? Yes.
(If you need your shrunken, mollycoddled Tech balls lovingly caressed by cowering corporate baristas, this is not the place for you. Do the world a favor and stick to your organic, locally-sourced quinoa enema bar and let the rest of us enjoy an actual meal.)
As for me, I'll be back to Peanuts Deluxe Cafe again and again. First rate.
Had a good breakfast at Peanuts. Self service style. Recommended for casual eat in. Good food quality. Friendly staff.
I don't remember the name of the breakfast plate I had but I sure recall the sausage was so delicious and perfect hashbrowns . The pancakes could be a bit more fluffy but still good. Excellent customer service and cozy atmosphere. How could I have missed this little gem being I've been living in San Jose for the past 15 years. Definitely coming back.
