Café Eden is a Mediterranean eatery nestled in the heart of downtown San Jose. Just a few blocks away from San Pedro Square and close to San Jose University, Café Eden is a convenient place to grab some affordable and fresh Mediterranean cuisine.

Inside, the décor is modern, hip, and clean. The bread is baked on site every day, and there are a variety of both meat and vegetarian options. Menu favorites include the shawarma wraps, the Middle Eastern pizza-type thin pies, the falafel platter, and the hummus. Don’t leave Café Eden without trying their baklava, which regulars claim is one of the best they’ve ever tasted.

Café Eden is open Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is closed on Sundays.
