Papas and Eggs

Crema's Take
“This San Jose gem deserves way more buzz than it gets—it's a beautifully maintained spot where the kitchen takes real care with each order, from perfectly balanced three-chile chilaquiles that prioritize flavor over heat to lavender coffee that feels like a small discovery. Whether you're settling in solo for a quiet morning or pulling tables together for a crew of seven, there's a genuinely welcoming, unhurried vibe that makes it perfect for lingering over housemade pastries and thoughtfully executed breakfast classics like Florentine eggs benedict and chorizo burritos.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.

Came on a busy Sunday morning. Open seating and a server came and helped us put a table together and get our menus since we were a party of 7. The food didn't come out quickly but I feel like I it didn't take too long either. It's a small kitchen for the number of people that…
