Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Downtown San Jose · 29 tips and reviews
Jeff Martin: My favorite is the happy crispy fried rice and fresh rolls, oh also the ocean basket. They do not serve alcohol though but, have amazing house tea.
Clyde Lerner: Spicy Cha Cha is my #1 dish!!
Krys Blackwood: This is my favorite veggie restaurant. Try the spicy cha cha - it tastes so much like shrimp it will fool you!
Andrew Sandler: Our new favorite local Indian restaurant. Complex flavors with a comfortable amount of spiciness. Looking forward to going back to try the full dinner menu.
Sarahi Castillo: We loved it! Portions are great and very filling, I'm excited to go again.
Downer Matt: Semi-decent. Chicken was a bit on the dry side. I ordered 1 spicy and 1 mild chicken masala. Neither were labeled. Both had the same spice in my opinion. Too spicy for grandma, she did not get to eat.

Coffee Shop · Rose Garden · 9 tips and reviews
Jenny Down the Block: Quick walk to/from rose garden, library & hoover community center. Outside & inside seating.
John Villa: Nice location, good quiet seating inside but if you want to sit outside it's better to cross Naglee and sit in the museum garden to get away from traffic noise. I like this Starbucks. It's cozy.
Nathan Johns: Grab a coffee, then take a walk to the Rosicrucian Museum across the street. Wrap it up with a nice walk through the Municipal Rose Garden.
Beemy N.: World class service and food! Tabasco pepper wings are a must try, can't go wrong with their fresh salad bar selection, and my fav pizza's the four cheeses and bruschetta chicken :D
Gipsy Blood: Chicken Bruschetta pizza is too salty and carries too much garlic, it burns your mouth, also not as creamy. Steakhouse pizza has the amount of beef just right, however meet is too dry.
Stephanie Ramalho: The 49er is the best and the workers are the sweetest!

Wine Bar · Shasta Hanchette Park · 26 tips and reviews
Nathan Johns: They just started serving an amazing truffle cheese. Also, they have one of the best selections of beer in the south bay.
Josh Chua: Go ahead, order beer from the awesome beer list and disrespect wine in its own house like the scandalous bitch you are.
Olivier Marie: Last Tuesday of the month is wine tasting night. Best value on great wines in the area. Don't miss it and mark your calendars!
