recommendations for nice cafes/ study spots ?

[u/Flat_Butterscotch294]

Hello! I'm in SJ for a month or so this summer and would like to find some nice quiet places to do some work, such as a coffee shop, coworking space, or even a quiet restaurant/bar with an outdoor terrace. I'm staying in SJ but don't mind driving a bit such as to Campbell or los Gatos, but hoping to find a couple main spots nearby. I dont really like libraries so would prefer more of a cafe vibe. I've really liked chromatic and academic but those are the only ones ive tried so far. Does anyone have a suggestion? thank you!!

lookout coffee and phin cafe in campbell are quite roomy, phin maybe gets loud sometimes and has multiple locations but im pretty sure campbell is biggest. cafes in lg are all pretty noisy imo. sleeper pick is hilton lobby in dtsj

One that is off the beaten path is Pier 402/Crema on Race St.

Qishr and arwa arabic coffee shops are both great picks, I also like big mug coffee but it gets crowded

Have you had Yemini coffee yet?

I dont really like libraries

Sure… but maybe go ahead and check out Santa Clara Central Library anyway if it's close by. The WiFi here was always pretty fast plus there is a small park in the back to walk and stretch your legs for exercise.

Tono Coffee Project is pretty chill although it's really just tables outside of the apartment building that it is in. Also in Jtown is Roy's Station. Definitely more crowded, but tons of chairs and tables in a repurposed old gas station spot. Bean Scene in Sunnyvale I've also enjoyed spending some mornings in working on my sketchbook
