Went here to grab breakfast and, as a bakery/cafe, Specialty's did not disappoint. I enjoyed a great big carrot muffin and some bottled juice. So I got exactly what I went for. It's a handsome, spacious place, and on this weekday morning it was not crowded -- a nice change from the usual claustrophobia experienced at some other coffee shops!... More

I had to bring lunch to a meeting in San Jose. Not familiar with the area or the clients I read good reviews on Specialty's and was not disappointed. The food looks, smells and tastes amazing. I had a hard time deciding. They were helpful through the ordering process and I got a nice cloth bag to keep! Would certainly... More

Turkey sandwich and hot pastrami were excellent. We went for lunch and it was very crowded, which is good and bad! Best sandwich I have had in a while.

Went here for breakfast three days running since they were the first place open (aside: why don't more downtown areas have 24 hour diners - who wants to wait until 6am?). While they have a very limited breakfast menu, just egg and _________ (fill in the blank) sandwiches, the coffee was god, not watered down, and the food was hot... More
