Ijava Cafe

Was looking for a breakfast place on Christmas Day. This one was the only one I could find on short notice and I’m glad I did. Went here with a few buddies and I’ll be coming back over and over again. The menu is pretty unique with banh mi, Vietnamese coffee at what looks like an American diner. The service was quick and attentive. This place was very spacious and they sell their own coffee beans! I got the chicken and waffles and let me tell you, I’m still thinking about it a day later. Didn’t want to be a fatty and come again today to get some more. The waffle was crispy, the fruits were fresh, and the chicken… the chicken was the perfect compliment to this dish. It was light and flavorful. The texture of it was perfect and it wasn’t dry at all. I will either try to make this at home or fail miserably and drive myself here for the same dish. Give it a try you won’t regret it, I promise you that.

Convince place to have breakfast. That was my experience. Went with a really good friend of mine. We were very hungry and craving for coffee on a Sunday morning. Somehow our order was misplaced and we had to wait longer for our food to arrive. The coffee was ok. Just average. The service was nice and the service did her best to make us feel comfortable. However, she made a comment that made my friend feel uncomfortable. There is plenty of parking, so you shouldn't have an issue finding one.

Java coffee shop in San Jose is hands down one of my favorite coffee spots! They consistently brew some of the best coffee in town, and their breakfast menu is a true delight. The pancakes, waffles, and chicken dishes are incredibly delicious - a perfect combination of sweet and savory. What sets this place apart, besides the fantastic food and coffee, is their incredibly friendly staff. The warm and welcoming atmosphere they create makes every visit a joy. If you're in San Jose and crave great coffee and breakfast, don't miss out on this gem of a coffee shop!"

Great laid back spot with very good coffee, kind, attentive service, and great food. I got the power scramble and requested a side of their cashew cream on it. So good (because I don't like salsa fresca due to cilantro). They also gave me a side of their house made hot sauce which was bomb. I need to buy some of that! Next time I'm in town I will return. I think my servers name was Linda? She was very sweet and accommodating- it's so nice to find people like this as it seems infrequent these days. I appreciate you!

Besides the fact that it was really hot inside the restaurant the meal was amazing, service fantastic and staff friendly and accommodating. I had the chicken panini and fries. Delicious!! Freshly made bread, melted cheese, sun dried tomatoes and chicken. Yum!!! I left off the pesto #allergygirl can’t have it .

I tried a bunch of items from the menu, only two things made it to the photo shoot. The shrimp and crab melt with a side of fries was amazing and filling too. The Vietnamese coffee was on point and as strong as one would expect it to be. Had the Swiss Melt (burger with mushroom on it) and also the brisket burrito. All I can say is count me in as one of the neighborhood customer as I plan to come back frequently. Oh and the ambiance during Sunday breakfast/brunch hours was amazing.
