Purple Onion Cafe - Los Gatos

We like often come to this place. Tasty drinks and Nutella twist.

Fast friendly service, good coffee and a great breakfast sandwich. Lots of other interesting items on the menu.

This review is for the downtown Los Gatos Purple Onion Cafe on East Main Street. They have a second location on Winchester Blvd. The Purple Onion. is a popular local hangout for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack. The extensive menu features a wide variety of sandwiches, soups, salads and outrageously tempting pastries. On my last lunch visit, I had a classic turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on a fresh ciabatta roll. The turkey was good, but unfortunately the kitchen put way too much extra-hot Dijon mustard on the bread. After just one bite (yikes! I had to scrape off the rest with a knife. The service at this place has been erratic lately. There seems to have been quite a bit of turnover (including the former long-time manager and the amount of training and supervision the staff now receives is minimal at best. And despite what the owner claims on their website, this place definitely doesn 't offer white tablecloth standard service. You 'll need to bring your patience. Don’t bring cash since they only take credit cards and electronic payment. Also, if you’re with other people, be sure to grab an outside table. The restaurant is extremely loud when it’s busy and it’s almost impossible to hold a conversation. I’ll go back after a morning hike just for coffee, but I’ll go elsewhere in town for lunch. My three star rating is generous.

Love the sandwiches I've tried so far. Caramel oat milk lattes are great too.

Perfect spot for a rest after your hike up St. Joe's and enjoy yummy coffee &tea and delicious food
