Crema's Take

This San Jose spot strikes a lovely balance between a serious coffee destination and a neighborhood gathering place, where regulars swear by both the consistently excellent espresso and the rotating selection of fresh-baked pastries and cakes that lean toward the less-sweet side. The family-friendly vibe and thoughtful touches—like keto and vegan dessert options—make it feel like the kind of cafe where you can linger for a proper sit, whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with your family for an afternoon treat.

Avoid the Cheese Chocolate Cheesecake! I suspect the food was old, as I've been struggling with a severe stomach ache and food poisoning since eating it. This is a serious health concern. I strongly urge the owner to check their inventory immediately. I do not recommend this place please be careful and eat elsewhere for your safety

They’ve got fantastic coffee and a huge variety of cookies and pastries always fresh and delicious. One of my favorite spots for both a treat and a great cup of coffee

We searched up a nearby cafe after visiting a car dealership nearby and found Bibi's. We opted for the hazelnut mousse cake and a pair of double espressos. The cake was disappointed us as it was missing semblance of hazelnuts. As our visit happened on a very gusty/rainy day the windows and doors of the shop were closed. Perhaps this is why there was a strong odor of cooking oil or something burnt instead of coffee or the sweet smell of baking when we arrived after lunch. I was really impressed with the shelves of assorted cookies and baked savory treats alongside the case of cakes. (so much labor to make so many varieties and seasonal Shamrock cookies for March) I can see why this is a go-to bakery for many in the neighborhood.

I have been coming here for several years with my family, and the quality remains consistent. My mother swears by their scones and I've had several cakes and cookies throughout the years, all which were fresh and delicious. The baked goods here really have that homemade taste and feel, and you can't go wrong with anything you choose!

Wide selection of desserts. Cakes are not too sweet, and they have options for those with special diet preferences like keto and vegan. If they get too busy, have a little patience to wait til you get served, but staff are nice and trying to accommodate everyone. If you are a self entitled customer, maybe not the right place for you. First come, first serve...of course.
