Absolutely love City Lights! I visit often for lunch and am NEVER disappointed. The food is delicious no matter what you order; the veggie panini is my go to, the quiche is second to none and the sides are always on point, my favorite is the potato salad. They make their lemonade fresh so try an Arnold Palmer (Youll want the largest size, trust me) or even straight up :) The service you receive from Jen and her Mom Margaret (They are adorable and as sweet as can be) will keep you coming back! Next time the hunger pangs hit, stop by City Lights you wont regret it!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Margaret, the owner, puts lots of TLC into everything she makes - its all fresh, and she caters to those of us with gluten intolerances. Her soups are fantastic - healthy, fresh ingredients, and tasty. I highly recommend this place for a cup of coffee/tea or a place to have lunch with a colleague or friend.

Quaint little coffee shop with a chill atmosphere. Good bakery items. I did not try the sandwiches. The espresso (cortado specifically) was lousy which is my reason for only 3 stars. Great place to relax though. If you dont care about the coffee or you drink something with lots of sugar, etc then it couls be 4+ stars for you.

The glass house is a cozy venue in downtown San Jose, right across from San Pedro Market Square. I worked a Beer Tradeshow here, they host Halloween parties, and weddings have been held here. Simple venue, with glass surrounding it, you can change the environment pretty easily. Great place to hold any kond of event!

Just found out and loved it! Really lovely atmosphere, friendly service and really delicious chocolate chip cookies :) if I was a local, this place would be my everyday stop. They have a lot of things to offer (eat&drink). I would say drop by to see it yourself. Cheers!

This is my favorite place for lunch. I would go there every day if I could. City lights delight smoothie is great. Split pea soup is great. Greek sandwich and other hot sandwiches are delicious. All breads and baked goods are homemade and taste like it!

Stood at counter during less than busy afternoon for 5 plus minutes. Employees present but they didnt take the time to state, "will be right with you. " Will not be returning. Easiest thing to do is say hello! Poor customer service.

Nice baristas but the iced coffee was slightly bland. Nice quiet atmosphere for studying and writing papers in the afternoon. would love to try their food items next time. The quiches and muffins and ginormous cookies look delicious.

Fantastic for Celiacs and gluten-sensitive!!! Cooked on-site and reasonably priced. Gf pancetta gruyère quiche was down right heavenly. So excited I can walk here from work.

Very friendly and caring staff. Good food. Great tea and coffee drinks. Tiny bit pricier than other places, but worth it. Great place to relax and read/study quietly.

The best for quality food, coffee, and service. Great local spot that feels less pretentious than many other coffee shops of equal quality.

Lots of room with tables for laptops and plenty of parking. Good food and convenient location. Try the Borgia coffee. Excellent!

Great coffee, but a bit slow, with multiple customers, only 1 employee on site, also lack of pay-by-phone and pay-by-face.

Amazing coffee. Ask for the Vienna blend! Very friendly owners! Love the place! Will keep coming again and again :)

Love this spot. Out-of-this-world cookies, perfect hot chocolate, and a wonderful lady running the place.
