Purple Onion Café - Los Gatos

Sad to see that what was once a very cool place has gone downhill tremendously and quality and prestige. Sure the location is gray and has acute outside, but if that’s about it, the coffee is mediocre, and the food is overpriced. If that wasn’t enough, they try to charge me $1.50 for half and half into my coffee. What a joke!

My son loves their BBB Pork sandwich and Tomato soup combo and we get it for him at least once a week now. I usually get their vegetarian sandwich and they are delicious. Also the croissant is enormous. I did try their cappuccino and it was not great but it wasn’t terrible. But as ya’all know the cappuccino can taste vastly different based on who makes it so I think it’s okay for me.I have dined in, did multiple take outs, and usually get them delivered.

Great place to have coffee and breakfast after a long hike on Sunday morning. I should do this more often.

A great place for a quick bite and/or coffee. The menu is varied. A plus is a fair amount of inside seating and plenty of natural light. ?️ can be tight during peak hours.

Purple Onion is in a very nice location on Main Street in Downtown Los Gatos, perfect for sitting watching the world go by while you eat. The food is very fresh. The California taco salad, egg bacon breakfast sandwich and turkey cranberry sandwich are excellent. The grilled veggie focaccia was very fresh, but could have used some seasoning. Easily solved with a bit of salt pepper, though. Overall, strong recommend for this lovely little lunch spot. Parking: Parking can be difficult on the weekends, weekdays you can usually find a close spot.
