Really delicious and carefully crafted drinks and food. The barista + owner helped me land on my drink order (mixed the turmeric ginger and tiger spice chais) and the avocado toast and eggs benedict were perfectly seasoned and prepared. #thatrunnyeggtho. Also super helpful and open to answering questions about the ingredients. Will definitely be back!

I ordered a mint lemonade and a mexicali burrito with no chipotle sour cream to go. I must say the lemonade was a bit too sweet for me. Also I did not have a straw. The mexicali burrito was mostly tortilla (thats why I put three stars)once I began to eat, but I did enjoy the mix of black beans, scrambled eggs, sweet potato and avocado. The salsa that came with the mexicali burrito was tasty but I prefer a little more heat so I did use my own salsa at home. The cafe was clean and service was quick. I would reccomend giving this place a try.

I ordered Mexicali burrito (hold the cheese) and a cappuccino.The cappuccino came pretty quickly. It was more of a latte-style than a traditional cappuccino. The coffee tasted good and it was prepared well.I had to wait quite a while for the burrito, longer than 25 minutes. They seemed a bit overloaded during the brunch rush.When I finally got the burrito I thought it really tasted great. Great combination of ingredients, fresh and prepared well.The staff seemed a bit chaotic in their effort to service the long line of customers. Probably a bit understaffed.A small amount of the kitchen is visible. It and the front area seemed a bit unkempt.For these reasons Im tempted to give 4 stars, but ultimately the food and coffee was better than the majority of places I could find. So I overlooked those details and gave it the full 5. Ill be back!

Completely wrong order. Asked for Pistachio coffee ☕. Got coconut. Asked for 1 drink w/ 3 shots, and gave both 3 shots. Drinks are great but man I didnt feel the customer service or the accuracy in taking my order. Next time I guess

Hubby got the hot links breakfast scramble and it was just a mixture of delicious flavors. Potatos were herb flavored and my favorite thing. Which reminds me of my favorite joke of normal people flirting vs. me if you were a potato youd be a good potato.Pancake/French toast flight was beautifully laid out. I loved the variety of it all. My fav was the banana apricot French toast. The red velvet needed more cream cheese and the pineapple was a regular pancake with a pineapple in the middle. I think Id get all French toast next time and skip the pancakes.

The food here is so fresh and healthy, I highly recommend it. We came during covid where they require masks, but they offer outdoor seating. The picture just shows how healthy and fresh the food is. I ordered the power scramble bowl and worth it! Just look at the food, power food with rainbow color! Yummy!!

Had the breakfast burrito...AMAZING. Youll pay roughly $16 for a burrito & juice but well worth it

EVERY SINGLE THING ON THE MENU IS GOLD. PLEASE GO HERE!!! Best French toast I have EVER eaten, and their savory stuff is just as good. This place deserves all your money and large tips, the staff are so kind and helpful!!

Good breakfast. Vegetarian friendly. A bit disappointed that they did away with their croissant breakfast sandwiches when I got there. I had looked online on our way here and was looking forward to it. That said, we ordered the vegetarian crepe and burritos instead. Both were good and quite filling. We also had their green matcha latte and pistachio latte. Ive only had pistachio latte once in LA and liked it so Im glad iJava offers this as one of their signature drinks. Since we ordered over $18 and checked in on Yelp, they gave us one of the drinks for free.Parking here can be a challenge. Theres only 4 spots in the parking lot behind the restaurant. Youd have to find street parking otherwise.

I love their food! That, and their super friendly staff is the only reason I keep coming back. Everytime I place an order Im prepared for an inconvenience. Paid online? Nope, they didnt process it. Place an order over the phone? Nope, they didnt process it. Requested salsa? Nope, they forgot to put it in the bag.This location is severely understaffed and their coffee sucks too. I yet have to find one that I like. To play it safe, just get a water.Once they get their act together Ill start recommending iJava at Delmas

Review №13

The burritos are ok. I had the short rib burrito. I dont think the burritos need spinach. it throws off the texture, flavor, and adds moisture to the burrito. but the salsa in well flavored. I would like a bit more spice, but I have a high spice tolerance

Review №16

First time here!! Wow!! I loved what I had! I ordered short rib burrito and the ingredients are fresh. The staff are very helpful when I asked for their recommendation. Lucky enough that theres no line and have plenty of sitting in an early weekend morning. This place is such a charming place and the area is kinda far from the bustling downtown SJ. This will be my go to place for a great breakfast burrito. Will be back for other things too!!

Review №19

Its okay. Nothing spectacular like many reviews suggests. I felt the quantity and taste in bills Cafe was much better. I had a iced tiger spiced chai. It was so sweet. Like sickeningly sweet. The vegetarian bowl is also not that great. Also, its more of a self serve place and the prices are not that cheap considering that its a self serve. I was so disappointed as I read nice reviews and went to this place

Review №21

This place has the best Chai lattes. I recommend the iced Elephant chai latte with either a crepe or the short rib burrito. Service can be a little slow depending on what you order, but ordering off of their website directly instead of Doordash results in a faster pick up

Review №22

About 3 weeks ago, I ordered breakfast online for the following morning and paid for my meal in advance. I received a call later that same day notifying me that my order had been prepared hours ago and so they wanted to know if I was still going to come by to pick it up, but I was really confused because I had scheduled the pickup for tomorrow morning and that’s what it said on my online receipt as well. I could’ve gone to pick up the order that same day even though I scheduled it for the following morning, but they never called me at the time that my order was ready for pickup so there was no way I could’ve known that they had prepared my order an extra day in advance.Initially the cafe was pretty helpful and apologized for the mishap, letting me know they could remake the order tomorrow morning as was originally planned. I was completely fine with that and cafes are usually super busy so the mishap didn’t bother me too much, but they never called me the next morning and I was very busy so I didn’t have the the time to call the cafe and see what was up. They called me later that day notifying me again that my order was made hours ago and it was unfortunate that I didn’t pick it up because now they had to throw it away again. I had a time allotted for when my order would be ready for pickup, but the cafe never called me that morning and after they messed up the scheduling the day before, I wasn’t even sure if that was still the official time my order would be ready for pickup. I asked for a refund and the manager let me know it would take about 4 to 5 days for me to receive it, but it’s been a little over 2 weeks now and I still haven’t received my refund. I have never actually tried the cafe’s food so I want to give it the benefit of the doubt and give 3 stars, but I honestly didn’t have the best experience with the cafe’s service and am not sure if I will still receive my refund :/

This place is so rad. Super cool vibe, nice people working here, good food and coffee. I wish it was near my house. Coffee, smoothies, burritos, breakfast bowls, toasts, crepes, paninis, wraps salads. Its also a wine bar at night. Please lets collaborate and open a place like this in Burlingame,

The coffee is really good here. I tried the Gourmet Avacado toast and it was delicious. Quantity is less for the price. It would be great if they could increase it as they charge the same amount to comparable places.

Review №28

Great place to grab some caffeinated drinks and food. They had a nice selection of coffee, including a cold brew. I ended up having the Elephant Vanilla Chai which was very good. Its a very mellow chai, and probably a good one to start with if you never had chai before. I also had one of their breakfast bowls. They had a vegan, vegetarian, and quinoa options for this item. I had the power bowl, which included chicken and eggs. Its very filling. This one would be a good option for paleo/keto but you will need to ask for the beans to be left out. Highly reccomend if you are in the area!

I love this place!!!! It’s a great place to read a book or just chill with friends. Anytime my friends from out of town come and visit me I take them here for breakfast. The Latte’s are delicious. I love they’re Rose Latte they have this month I can’t get it anywhere else it soo good I always buy 2 cups. I hope IJava keeps it on there menu.

Review №32

Got food to go and was pretty disappointed. When I opened the box for the crepe I ordered, the crepe looked like it had been just tossed right in. Not to mention the strawberries and Nutella for my crepe were just thrown into the box. There was more Nutella on the box than my crepe. The crepe itself was very dry and the food was not filling. Was expecting much better with so many good reviews.

Review №45

This is your typical off-the-beaten path gem. Superb food. I love the emphasis on healthy -- no pork bacon here, folks, its all turkey! Great variety of coffees, teas, and smoothies as well as breakfast choices (burritos, loaded toasts, bowls, crepes, pastries). Not a fancy restaurant, but the plates were decorated as if it were. The feeling I got is that the cooks love their work and take pride in serving beautiful, healthy food. This is a place for locals -- the cashier said goodbye to nearly every patron by name and with an attitude of old friends. Will definitely come back to this place!

Great little cafe. The food options were all on the healthy side and tasted great. The portions sizes were just right. Kids enjoyed the flavor of the healthy food as well so thats a strong plus in my book. Definitely worth a stop if your looking for something that Id not a cookie cutter cafe.

This a a great little cafe, but doesnt hold itself to just coffee. They have a great menu that has many options from smoothies to breakfast bowls to salads. I was able to customize my smoothie with mango and blueberries that came out really good. I also had the protein bowl that was excellent. I really surpassed my expeditions. Really well balance flavors and very fresh. The chicken that was in it had great flavor to go with the scrambled eggs and spinach and salsa. I would highly recommend this place to others and will return. Thanks!

The Flix Bus from Las Vegas dropped me across the street from what looked like was a Starbucks clone restaurant. I saw a sign which said Breakfast & Lunch so I went inside. I asked the lady at the counter what was the best dish; she replied the Power scramble bowl with pieces of grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, avocado slices, black beans and crises lettuce. I liked the combination very much. The atmosphere was very friendly, and the tables were not too close together. The next day I brought,a friend with me for breakfast. He had .ca veggie burrito, and liked it too.

Amazing little cafe near San Jose Diridon CalTrain Station. Have an excellent selection of breakfast items, sandwiches & wraps (vegetarian options as well). Got a cup of coffee (excellent coffee) + a Hummus Wrap (which comes with a Mixed Greens Salad). They also sell their own coffee beans. This place is an easy recommendation if your nearby and looking to grab breakfast food/ healthy sandwich/ wrap.
