As soon as I push open the country-green door of Country Inn Café on Camden Avenue, the aroma of sizzling bacon, cinnamon-dusted French toast, and just-brewed Colombian roast wraps around me like a quilt. It’s 7:15 a.m. and the dining room—barn-beam ceiling, vintage farm signs, sunlight flooding through picture windows—is already buzzing with soccer moms, retirees swapping news, and hoodie-clad techies tanking up before the commute.

Reviews
- “Best Chile Verde & Eggs in the South Bay—pork so tender it falls apart, sauce bright but not too spicy.” 🌟
- “Swedish crepes practically float; ask for extra lemon wedges and you’ll taste sunshine on a plate.” 😋
- “Service is lightning-fast: coffee topped up five times and our Big Boy plates hit the table in eight minutes flat.” ⚡️
- “Bacon cheeseburger at 10 a.m.? Absolutely. Juicy, smoky, and that brioche bun held together to the last bite.” 🥓

Country Inn Café isn’t just another breakfast joint—it’s a cozy Almaden Valley tradition where “breakfast in San Jose” means generous plates, genuine smiles, and a hot mug that never empties. One visit and you’ll be plotting your next stack of pancakes before the first syrup drip hits the plate. 🍳🥞
