Elvas Coffee Stop - San Jose

The first we went here was fine. The second time was even better. Every time I come here they always have something new to offer. Whenever I am inside this coffee shop, I feel relaxed. All the staff is easy to approach and always make sure that their clients are satisfied with their service. I will always recommend them to my friends and relatives.

Love the warmth friendliness of this independent coffee shop!! From Mexican Mocha to bullet proof coffee to red bull smoothies, Elva's does not disappoint. If your lucky, Elva's mom is in there making homemade delights. Fast wifi doesn't hurt either. El Jefe approved!

This coffee shop is one of my favorite spots to start my weekday mornings. The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing quick service without compromising on the quality of their drinks. The food is quite delicious too! I highly recommend trying the Lavender Latte—it's a real standout. Additionally, the whole bean roasts on the shelf are excellent quality, organic, and Fair Trade. As a former barista during my teenage years, I truly appreciate seeing the younger generation working at local coffee shops. There's something special about connecting with people in a relaxed, "I've only been awake for 10 minutes" state of mind. So, a big thank you to the entire staff, and a special shoutout to Curtis for keeping this vital community spot alive. You won't find the same sense of connection at a Starbucks as you will at your local Coffee Stop.

Your review can assist others in discovering excellent local establishments. The venue was tidy and had a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee was great, and the burrito was quite large for such a reasonable price. However, the tortilla was slightly stale and had a tough texture. Everything else was enjoyable. Please refrain from reviewing this business if you received a complimentary item in exchange for your review or if you have any affiliations with the owner or staff.

This is a delightful little independent coffee shop that stands in stark contrast to the pretentious hipster establishments that have emerged in recent years. There's a woman who seems to be the heart of the place—I'd guess she's Elva, and she's truly wonderful. She’s warm and welcoming, quickly serving up drinks and ensuring you’re enjoying your experience. I’ve tried the Mexican mocha, both hot and blended, and it’s simply amazing. I’ve also purchased the dark roast whole beans to enjoy at home, and they are fantastic as well. On weekends, she offers menudo, served piping hot with just the right hint of spice—my favorite remedy for a hangover. Be sure to go on Saturday for it, though; she makes a limited batch for the weekend, and it often sells out by Sunday.
