Bijan Bakery & Cafe'

The cafe has a warm and cozy atmosphere. I had a cheese and fruit plate. I also had a mango mousse for dessert. The cheese with fresh crunchy bread was so delicious. The mango mousse was the best I have ever had. The service was impeccable. My only complaint was on my end. I wish I could have stayed and had a glass of wine instead of having to take it to go.
I look forward to going again.

I’m unsure why they got bad rating? I went to this place years ago and would love to come back because I absolutely love their princess cake.
We bought coffee cake and biscotti on top of princess cake slice and I love everyone of them.
They have nice seating area and they’re pretty quiet so it’s perfect place to work or study. The service was ok, the person assisted us very nicely without any issue. The only downside is finding parking. It’s so hard to find good parking that we had to circle a couple of times during rush hour.

Great place, a little odd in organization but great pastries and hot drinks.
If you are looking for some pastries that are not overly sweet try this place! They have a good variety of European style (Persian really ) sweets, pastries and cakes. There is plenty of seating. They are fast and nice people too.
When u enter you have to get a number from one of them old red and black things and they’ll call that to take your order do not spend time waiting aimlessly in line like us😆
We did like their balck forest very much with a sweet saurry cherry jam on top!
The place had a little bit of “i am a little old and semi-neglected “ vibe too.

Cleanness: decent
Seating: bar high tables, regular tables and lovely outdoor seating
Price: on the pricier side but given the location it makes sense i guess
People: nice and friendly
Value: i’d have put it slightly on lower proces but good!
Menu diversity: they have many pastry options and hot drinks were very diverse too! Food menu was relatively smaller but still more than what you’d expect from a cafe! They also had veryyy exciting looking baggeuts .

This bakery is delicious and decadent! I wanted to try everything!! I wish we were not from out of town because I would ha bought one of the delicious looking cakes or taken home some more of there fine desserts!! They were so friendly, welcoming and everything is made on site! Wide range of choices and the chocolate danish, biscotti and bagel we had (at 7 in the morning) was fresh and tasty! The regular drip coffee was perfect too! Everyone should stop by Bijan’s Bakery if they are even slightly in the area! Loved it!

Perfect on a cold day. We have come here every year every time we visit Christmas in the park every year. The sugar free hazelnut does not have even have sweetners so not good. Guava pastry was very tasty.

There was still a good selection left in the evening when I went around 6pm on a weekday. I bought 2 fruit tarts, an eclaire and a cream puff for my clients. Spent $25. They especially loved the fruit tarts but also loved the other two, as well. I was eyeing the burnt almond cake and it was about $42. Looked so good and I want to go back for it 😋

Just come for the cinnamon croissant 🥐 when I tell you, that was the FLAKIEST, BUTTERIEST, croissant I’ve ever had in my life. WOWWWWW!!! I got a carrot juice too. SO fresh and clean. The chicken panini was good, but parts of it were cold and I wanted it hot all the way through. Other than that, beautiful place and the workers are very pleasant, making for a fabulous experience.

Have been going to their Saratoga bakery for a long time and switched things this time a bit and ordered a cake (and bought a bunch of slices on the day of pickup) from Bijan bakery in San Jose.

Parking for sure is a pain to deal with when getting in there. Please do keep that in mind (though i have been luck that both the times that i went in there i found an empty parking slot on the street pretty close to the store).

Have always been a big fan of their Burnt almond cake and this visit definitely was to pick another one of these for a birthday celebration later in the evening. The folks at the bakery were pretty welcoming and as well helped answer all my questions around the options for different slices of cakes that i saw , eggless options etc etc.

Upon receiving the ordered cake along with the other slices that i had ordered, it got a bit overwhelming to take it all by myself to the car. The folks in there, lent me a helping hand by having one of the behind the counter personnel carry the cake with me while i carried the rest to the car.

Friendly folks, wonderful ambience in there and an array of choices with each being one of its kind definitely gives you reasons more than one to be there and enjoy their offerings.

Hopefully sometime soon!!!!

Nice Cafe and bakery located in downtown San Jose. Stopped here for a Cafe Latte. They have seating both outside and inside. There were lot of pastries on display. Restrooms were clean. Bakery is wheelchair accessible. Service was goo too.

Couldn't wait to finish my breakfast to start writing this review. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and a regular latte. The croissant is exquisite, it really melted in my mouth. The latte is pretty standard, everything I expected in a latte. I came in at 7 am so is was not busy, perfect for eating in. It really feels like an European Bakery. The are so many options. Good thing for the travelers: there's wifi. By the way, I finished my sandwich.

Came on a bustling Friday afternoon. Quick and amicable staff, food was ready within five minutes. First impression left me wanting to eat everything. The Bakery has plenty of pastries to choose from as well as sandwiches. Ordered the turkey panini (comes with their original bread) and it was tasty and filling. The chocolate (chip?) crossaint is a fantastic dessert choice.

Oh my goodness! My chocolate croissants were so delish! I bought some for my crew and all of us were amazed at how wonderful they were. Highly recommend!

I wish I had tried one of the many beautiful and delicious looking desserts. I did get a ham and provolone croissant sandwich and it was very very good! Nice quick lunch. I ordered it to go but kinda wish I had eaten there because it was a lovely atmosphere.

Very good bakery and within walking distance to all the hotels in downtown San Jose. Appreciated that they were the only ones open early on a Saturday because the nearby Starbucks & Peet's were not. For my breakfast I got a very simple ham & cheese breakfast bagel but I think their known for their pastries so I tried their French Horn! Delicious! So if you're in San Jose on a weekend and want an early coffee save yourself a trip and just walk over to Bijan

I love this place, not only is the ambience perfect but the seating options are just a nicer variant to most places in San Jose. I feel like I'm back in Europe or the Middle East. It's got good urban flare without being over the top. The pastries are superb and the best place to get a cake with a little je ne sais quoi for an event. Perfect for a coffee date as well

Bijan Bakery & Café is my fiancé and It's go to lunch spot. I love their Salami & Mushroom Panini's, not to mention the mouthwatering array of pastries!!

Amazing European bakery in a great area in San Jose. Awesome ambience and quick service. Great variety of deserts and extremely pretty looking cakes.
The Black Forest cake and eclair is both really tasty and a must try.

2pm to 5pm is Happy hours so you can enjoy the muffin and croissant in half price. The coffee cookie and the pistachio mouse cake is fantastic.

I live in Canada but my family is in California. Today is my grandmother's 91st birthday and I am lucky to be able to order a cake to have delivered to her on her 91st birthday. My dad sent me a picture of the black forest cake which is gorgeous and my family said it was delicious. I highly recommend Bijan Bakery & Cafe. Not only did they provide a wonderful cake, they also had candles as well. Thank you so very much for making this day very special for my grandmother. She said she will be expecting a bigger cake next year!

Really nice bakery! Stopped for an early morning breakfast, and amazed with variety of options that they have! Highly recommended!
