A great place downtown, very good coffee and teas. Nice light cafe fare - sandwiches, salads, Italian pastries and other treats. Upstairs area with sofas for reading, tables downstairs and also sidewalk seating - nice in good weather. Music often scheduled evenings and weekends, no cover charge. A great little place to visit with friends and enjoy a coffee. Super... More

We had breakfast here last weekend. We chose this place based on TripAdvisor's rating. We had some beer, sandwiches, coffee, tee. The wait for the food was somewhat too long, but got compensated by its awesome freshness and, oh boy, it was incredibly tasty. I think the reason this was a bit slow is that they prepared everything right there... More

I've visited Caffe Frascati twice now, and have been charmed by their decor and their service each time. The first time I came here, the owner's daughter gave me advice on where to stay during the course of my work trip here — advice that got me out of spending two long weeks in a character-free suburb. Highly recommended!!

I visit here several times a week for a cup of coffee or cappuchino, and sometime I get a pastry or sandwich as well. The service and staff are always friendly and attentive. The coffee is strong just how I like it, and the food is delicious. Several evenings a week they have live music with no cover charge. There... More

Coffee in the USA is almost always Drip. I found this little gem. Great coffee and nice cafe food. Prices are what you would expect for a small caffe.

If you are visiting downtown San Jose, make this your coffee hangout. Great coffee, friendly service, and a homey vibe. Relax upstairs with friends or at s table outside. Right around the corner from the St. Claire, the convention center, the Fairmont... Well, everything.

Around the corner from the St. Claire Hotel, it was a great place for the first morning coffee. Staff are very welcoming and there are tables and chairs outside for enjoying the weather on a great morning.
