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 .
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.
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.
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!!

Great location. You need to fond a parking spot though. Same as any Bojan in the Bay Area. I feel it a bit bigger and spacious where you can take a great coffee with a great croissant 🥐 it a good tea. We usually request a birthday 🎂 cakes here because they do it very well. We ordered one I hope it will be good as we liked. I highly recommend this place.

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 😋
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!!!!
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.
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.
Their location being in downtown San Jose can be challenging at times but it’s totally worth the quality bake. Last week picked up a couple of boxes of pastries, danish, croissants, muffins, and few more. They were all delicious . Lightweight and melted in mouth. Service was fast and friendly.
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

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.
Indeed very European style desserts and coffee shop. Coffee is tasty, and the raisin cookies are bit dry. Great location nice decor. Pleasant for quick bite lunch or afternoon teatime just relaxing in between the walks in downtown San Jose.
Love this place for all the cakes are tasty. The mango mousse cake is my favorite. I always get by the slice when we visit and got the mid size cake to celebrate a birthday! I would give 5 stars but on some visits I felt (not always the case) that service personnel could be a little more polite. I think that would make the whole experience a lot sweeter
