This place is the heart of the Japan Town community. It's a meeting place for locals, it's a hub for anyone who has a dog, and the family that run it are some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Anyone who stops in only once might just see a local coffee shop, but anyone who comes back and spends some time there will see a thriving neighborhood hub.

Nostalgic, great food (the cherry tart was awesome). Wonderful treats (cookie was great). Complementary milk bones for my pup back home. I love the atmosphere. And the classic Coca Cola machine is nostalgic

Stopped by while waiting for the Japanese American Museum to open up. Had the ube coconut galette with an Americano. Thank you, the reuse of older buildings is to be commended. Your ube was delicious with your coffee blend.

If you’re looking for delicious coffee and pastries, this is the place to be! I always enjoy their spicy mocha with buttery galettes, each with a variety of fillings — such a perfect combo. Everything here is super tasty, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The staff are friendly and make you feel right at home. You can sit out on the front patio, soak in the vibe, and just relax — it’s my little happy spot. ❤️

Finally I got the chance to try Roy's and it didn't disappoint. From the outside looking in, Roy's has the best location. Situated in the corner lot in the heart of Japan Town, across from the Buddhist temple, Roy's has a cute outdoor seating area with ample spaces. In a sunny day like today, you can see people hanging out here with friends and pets, having a sip of coffee while catching up or doing their homework. Parking is a bit tricky as it's Japan town. But if you're willing to walk a bit, there're always street parkings 1 or 2 blocks away. One step inside Roy's and you'll be taken back to older historic times. Roy's so charming with two corner big window, classic coke dispensing machine and a red brick wall with arts and plants donning it. The delicious coffee smell mixed with yummy pastries welcomed me and made me feel immediately at home. The line was a bit long but it moved fast. I order Green Tea Latte on their special menu. My drink came out fast. I really enjoyed how light and smooth it was! The latte left a lovely aftertaste and I grew more and more in love with every sip. I'll definitely come back on a different day to actually sit down and enjoy a slow Saturday morning next time here. Until then, sayonara!

The best coffee in San Jose! ☕️ The people are super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and they make the best cheese bagel ever — just make sure to ask them to warm it up! 😋 We absolutely love this place and keep coming back every time we’re in town! ❤️

We were in the area and decided to stop by Japantown in San Jose. After walking around for a bit, we wanted some coffee before heading home and came across Roy’s Station Coffee & Tea. It's a small shop but very cozy. It was pretty busy around lunch, but the staff handled it well and were super friendly. Seating inside is limited, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating, which was perfect. The coffee was fresh and tasty, and the pastries looked great... they even have some vegan and gluten-friendly options. The café pet-friendly too which is nice. We really enjoyed it and would definitely stop by again. Great spot if you’re in Japantown and need a coffee break!

I found this coffee shop on my way to the Japanese American Museum. Great coffee concoctions list including unique to Roy’s like chocolate cookie frappe and mango creamsicle. Among the array of sweet treats like churro bun, cookies, croissants, and sweet breads I found my first Spam Musubi. This Hawaiian favorite is Spamd and sauce rolled in rice and encased in seaweed wrapper and looks like a mini sub sushi. Delicious. I loved the dedicated list of teas to show hot and cold, caffeine free and caffinated with 3 kinds of green tea. I chose a new one Mt Olympus Flowers a light flowery delicious blend Staff is friendly and efficient and patiently explained the teas and the Spam Musubi. The place has modern teas and coffees in a retro vibe setting. The real Coca-Cola® machine operates with quarters. The gas pump is not working! The local art for sake adds a local vibe Indoor seating includes 2 accessible tables and bar height seats with 3 charging outlets. Outdoor tables are abundant with done open air and some under covered roof The readable menus are blackboard with white letters and red highlights posted on the wall are legible Free WiFi with password. 3 outlets at bar height Accessible entry with pull medium weight door.

Roy’s Station Coffee & Tea is a great spot to stop for a delicious iced coffee. The location is perfect, and I really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and soaking up the sun — such a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The coffee was excellent, and while I didn’t order any pastries this time, they looked delicious and definitely tempting for a future visit. Overall, a lovely place to take a break, enjoy a good drink, and spend some time outside. I’ll be back! ☕️

Roy's is a cute little coffee shop in San Jose. It's definitely got a upscale, converted gas station vibe that is really interesting. Pretty solid amount of outdoor seating, and a solid selection of food and drink options. I'm always a sucker for a Mexican mocha, and they had a spiced mocha that scratched that itch. It actually had a kick, which most places shy away from. But the real star of the show was the Korean garlic bun. It was not at all what I was expecting. Very strong savory flavors with the garlic and cheese on top, but the inside had a sweet cream. It was delicious. I've never had a sweet and savory combination like that before. Highly recommend!
