Peanuts Deluxe Cafe — Restaurant in San Jose

I thoroughly enjoy visiting Peanuts Cafe for breakfast whenever I'm in San Jose. I originally found this place with a Google Search and I'm glad I checked it out. Ordering and paying for food was a little different at first, but once you know the routine, it's great. Walk up to the order counter, put in your order, and bring your receipt to the cash register. Pay for your food, grab some cutlery, and serve yourself some coffee. The food is prepared fast, and always tastes great. I'm a creature of comfort and always get the same thing.. scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. I like how everything is cooked, never had an issue. The bacon is crispy, toast is buttery, and the eggs scrambled to perfection. It's a simple breakfast, but done well. This place seems like a popular hangout for the nearby school, but thankfully it's never been crazy busy when I've been there in the morning. I would guess it's a little busier throughout the day. My feeling with this place is if you're looking for a well cooked, cheap breakfast you really need to consider Peanuts Cafe. I haven't tried their other menu items, but I love the breakfast....

In college and care about every dollar you spend? Just care about the amount of food you get and your only food concerns is that an egg should taste like an egg, bacon should tast like bacon, and hash browns shouldn't be overcooked to a crisp? Don't want the hastle of servers and would rather get your silverware & condiments yourself because you believe you could do it faster?

Then this is the place for you! As long as you have cash, cheap big breakfast is yours! The portions here are awesome for the under $6 meals that are on the menu. Even if you decide to pay more than $7, you won't regret it; food portions get bigger. Forget Denny's or IHOP, the breakfast food here is king. Don't like breakfast you say and want lunch? This place has that too! Everything here is cheap and you will leave full and happy at the money you saved. :)

Forget about service, aesthetics, comfy chairs, large eating tables...throw it all out the window! Here is a man's breakfast spot where price and...

if you went to SJSU for any length of time then you should know about Peanuts. they have fed many a Spartan since...forever it seems. i think it is also a graduation requirement to eat here at least 4x a semester. you might want to check the catalogue just in case.

it is a small unassuming little hole in the wall with a big reputation. perfect for the college community (students, staff, faculty, etc.) that it caters to. the portion size and prices may have changed over the years but that's understandable. neither will break you or disappoint you.

nearly all menu items are available all day but you definitely have to get the teriyaki chicken or beef (with rice and salad or fries). this alone will keep you coming back. a simple and filling meal but oh so good.

what's not to like about this place? absolutely nothing except how it like many others have been impacted by C19 but i know that loyal patrons will do their part to make sure that Peanuts is around for as long...
