Plan your visit
This page answers practical questions before you stop by Cafe San Jose on Meridian Avenue: when we are busiest, how to approach parking in the neighborhood, and how to order if you want food brought to you. Return to the home page for a quick overview of hours and delivery partners.
Hours and pace of service
We serve breakfast and lunch seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Weekday mornings before nine tend to draw regulars grabbing plates before work. Weekends often fill in between nine and noon. If you prefer a quieter table, try early afternoon closer to one o'clock when the rush usually eases. Made-to-order eggs and griddled items take a few minutes at peak times, which keeps food hot but can mean a short wait when the dining room is full.
Finding us on Meridian Avenue
The restaurant sits at 1583A Meridian Ave, San Jose, CA 95133. Look for our storefront along Meridian between busy retail stretches to the north and residential blocks to the south. If you use a maps app, search for Cafe San Jose at that address so you land at the correct curb cut. For turn-by-turn questions or to confirm holiday changes, use the phone number on our contact page.

Parking and curb etiquette
Street parking along Meridian and nearby side streets is the typical option. Pay attention to posted time limits, street sweeping days, and colored curbs so you avoid tickets. If a spot looks tight for larger vehicles, circle the block once. Off-peak spots often open within a few minutes. Guests arriving together sometimes drop off a passenger at the curb before parking to keep traffic flowing.
Menus and delivery partners
Browse the full breakfast lineup on the egg and scramble menu, then explore burgers, salads, and kids items through the other top menu links. If you would rather eat at home or at the office, order through DoorDash or Uber Eats as noted on our home page. Delivery menus sometimes differ slightly from the dining room, so check item descriptions inside each app before you check out.
