Crema's Take

“Backyard Café is a cozy, design-forward spot hidden inside a boutique hotel with strong aesthetics, comfortable seating, and genuinely good food—but the 3.8 rating reflects real friction points: inconsistent service speed, prices that feel high for the neighborhood (fresh OJ at $13), and the awkward fact that it's genuinely hard to find tucked inside a residential hotel. If you're in Santa Clara specifically looking for a comfortable place to sit for hours with decent coffee and reliable breakfast, it works; if you're hunting for great specialty coffee or efficient service, look elsewhere.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Cute cafe adjoining hotel. Food was good, though took a bit long to arrive. The burrito sauce was great. Prices were ok. I did balk at $13 for fresh squeezed OJ Good place to chill and read, good mix of eating tables, studying tables, and couches/seats.

We tried the pork belly with glass noodles as well as a tuna poke salad. Both were super good, especially dressing for the like salad and the tenderness of the pork bellies. Decor was also cute with nice servers as well

⭐ Honest Review I was drawn to this property for the café, restaurant, and its very unique lobby design. We started our visit with breakfast at the café, where I ordered a hazelnut latte and the breakfast sandwich. The coffee was excellent — smooth and flavorful — but the…
