Cafe Docanto

Came on a Fri morning and was greeted by the friendly owner. Ordered the latte, it was simple, nothing special and very affordable. There are some small round tables inside and a couple outside. It was fairly busy at 9am. Ambiance was good, clean establishment. Parking in the back or street parking in the front.

I read a review in The Metro and wanted to visit. We went on a Sunday morning right before closing at Noon. The staff was very friendly and offered us a free custard tarts as they we're closing up. Loved that they were so generous and didn't waste the awesome treats. We had two lattes, a sweetened iced latte, and a prosciutto and cheese sandwich. Everything was very good. It's clearly a local fixture in the community and deserves a visit. Small but perfect menu, great prices, high quality and cash only.

What a gem! So affordable as well. My sis and I had a cappuccino, a latte paired with a pastel de nata and biscuit. The pastel de nata was so-so but the hard circular biscuit was delish, sweet yet still tasty. This is a place where customers are not in their phones or laptops with earphones. People actually gather, talk and enjoy each other’s company. You almost feel like you’re gatecrashing a family party. They all seem to speak Portuguese, but we enjoyed the vibe and the barista were more than happy to serve us. We didn’t feel like we weren’t welcome at all. He even offered to just let us pay next time we come back because my sister who arrived first didn’t have cash nor Venmo. Truly one of the few remaining pure cafes around. Very clean and well-maintained too!

Really glad I was able to find this place. The owner is such a great guy, very friendly to all his guests and creates a good atmosphere. He makes some great coffee, highly suggest the lattes, makes a simple but excellent sandwich with some yummy Portuguese cheese. He takes pride in what he does and it shows. I'll be back again for sure.

Love this small family owned neighborhood coffee shop. The espresso is fragrant and smooth. They make ham and cheese sandwiches with fresh baked Portuguese rolls and sao Jorge cheese from the Azores. This is a piece of the Azores in east side San Jose. The vibe brings you right to the island. Must get the ham and cheese sandwich and an espresso!!!
