If you're looking for a cute and IG girly photo-op café in downtown San Jose, Con Azucar Cafe is a must-visit! The decor is adorable, with vibrant colored flowers, charming accents, and even a swing that makes for the perfect Instagram selfie. Seriously, I couldn't resist snapping a few pics of myself on the swing (sorry, I didn't upload it here lol)!
We decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon after hearing rave reviews about their HUGE Conchas and, more importantly for my sister, the HUGE cup of Abuelita Hot Chocolate--which is a whopping $50! When it arrived, we were amazed to see it served in a massive café mug that could practically TRIPLE as a soup bowl. It was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet, pairing perfectly with the delicious Concha slices we ordered.
Since we were taking the Concha home for our parents, we couldn't resist sneaking a little taste of it before handing it over. Honestly, it was hard to share!
A downside was that the tables had not been cleaned properly, still bearing remnants of previous customers' trash and food mess, which we ended up tidying up ourselves. Service was overall good as they were friendly.
Con Azucar Cafe is a decent spot if you're in the mood for larger-than-life drink portions and a cute atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing avocado toast, sandwiches, or pastries, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.
