Bijan Bakery And Cafe

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 .

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 😋

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!

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

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!!!!
