For all you coffee connoisseurs, Philz is the place for you. It's a local chain that serves unique and artful coffee blends, and a selection of teas. My favorite is the Yerba Mate served Philz style with honey and fresh mint leaves.

There are multiple locations in San Jose, so find the one that's most convenient for you. If you are a fan of the taco truck style of food and service, you'll like La Vic's. Affordable, quick, and tasty. Try the orange sauce, it's a local favorite.
