Caffe Bene - San Jose

The Mushroom croissant was yummy , but the plan waffle it was little hard for eat

Stopped by this lovely corner coffee shop , and found out that they make good coffee!!! Ordered their Café Seoul and House coffee, both very delicious, especially the Café Seoul, strong coffee with nice and smooth sweets (honey ? This is also a nice place for young people to hangout and chill, strongly recommend this place!!!

Literally the worst pour over I 've ever had in my life. It was basically a cup of tea, you could see all the way through to the bottom of the cup, not to mention the flavor was about as interesting as hot water. When I went to ask about how it was made and why it tasted the way it did, I was told (word for word , I would recommend getting something else, pour overs are kinda like that, they 're not very good . I was flabbergasted. I 've ordered and made pour overs countless times, and it has never been kinda like that , and certainly not not good to this extent. Management has cleared failed the barista in training. I strongly suspect he used the wrong grind size (way too coarse for the pour over. I used to really like this place, but when I was there this last time, the offerings (food, pastries, etc. felt more sparse and bare when compared to my last visits. The interior decoration is still nice, at least. Such a pity. I won 't be back, and I actively recommend no one come here and waste their money.

Very busy place. Hard to get a table. Crowded with office people most of the time, even on weekends. Tried Mango Mojito and Mango smoothie , they are damn sweet. Disappointed.

We ordered red velvet latte, Matcha latte strawberry waffle and avocado toast. Loved the red velvet latte super delicious! Avocado toast was good. Waffle was good but the texture was a bit too hard. Definitely going back for red velvet latte!
