Sarah’s Cafe - Santa Clara

The Husband Wife team are top notch and so friendly, the Red Eye coffee is excellent.

They were able to seat us fairly quickly. They have many scrambles and egg based breakfasts. The waitress was incredibly attentive and courteous. I would recommend the mimosas and hash. : Will definitely return!

The latte was fine (not that good honestly) But the best part about it is that it is convenient because it is within the library, the price is reasonable, and they have wide range of stuff to sell. All those reviews nagging about not letting them to sit there because they were not ordering anything, are not fair in my view. Yes, at the time maybe someone was not waiting, but if they see no space is available, they may not make a purchase. Also, it is their tables, so they can decide to have their own policy. It may be no harm in lending something of you own to someone, but simply you may don't like to do so. So don't expect others to let you use their resources freely.

They charge for hot water...wait in a line for 15 minutes, and then realize I have no $1 cash for the hot water(no card payment for less than $3)

I did not eat here. I don 't usually go to the Santa Clara Library, but rolled in to get some work done around 7:50pm. They close at 8. I sit down, and an employee immediately beelines for me and asks me if I 'll be ordering something. I say not now , because I might but who knows. He tells me to leave so other patrons can use the space. It 's important to tell you that there were NONE other patrons waiting anywhere nearby. I get up and leave, and he closes shortly thereafter. I wish this story was over, but we aren 't that lucky. There was another girl studying at their tables around 8:05 (not sure if she had ordered something or not). By this time he has closed up and about to leave. The employee asks the girl to leave, even though he was closed. Incredibly rude and doesn 't even make sense to kick out people once you 're closed. I wouldn 't go there as a customer rude staff are just not worth the convenience and nice location.
