Purple Onion Cafe

A tiny bit pricey but very good quality food!Definitely impressed with the Chinese chicken salad and Turkey sandwich I got.

Pleasant cafe with pleasant sandwiches made from good quality pleasant ingredients. The whole package is, you guessed it, pleasant, and maybe that's enough. Nothing really stood out but, be warned, a small soup and sandwich will cost you almost $25. No pricing is visible on the overhead menu board. I ate at the Winchester cafe (near The Garret) and discovered that The Purple Onion has a Los Gatos downtown location as well. I suspect we're getting that LG surcharge at the Winchester strip mall location. I debated between a 3 or 4 star review but landed on three due to no real desire to rush back plus the steep prices for simply serviceable food. To me this adds to three stars.Your opinion may vary, I've talked to locals who love this place.

I come here often--so much that I've even DoorDashed it, despite it being within walking distance of my house! I usually like to take photos of my food, but for some reason, I always forget. Still, I couldn't pass up the chance to write a review because I love the variety of food they offer, no matter what I'm in the mood for.Their quiches are incredible and come with a choice of soup--I'm especially a fan of the Detox soup, which I enjoy both as a side and a full serving. Their overnight oats are the best I've ever had. Even though I know the ingredients, I just can't replicate that perfect balance of flavors--it's one of my go-to items.I've also tried their salads and sandwiches, and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My only small complaint is that I wish they opened a little earlier, but it just makes me look forward to their food even more. I also appreciate the option for both indoor and outdoor seating--it's such a cozy spot!

We ordered take out after our hike on the Los Gatos Creek Trail. It's so convenient. Ordered online and loved that we have so many customized options on what we want in the meal. Service- at the counter was Alexi who was very accommodating because after picking up our meals, i asked for hot water. Great positive attitude. Ordered:- Chicken mozzarella (hot), cheese was melted just right. - Chicken cabbage salad, hardy and generous amount of chicken. Very fresh. Balanced ginger dressing. - vegan flax muffin, a little smaller but very moist

OK sandwich, salad and bakery place. Not a huge menu (online shows a lot more than on the chalkboard at the location) but enough choices for an occasional visit.Staff is not friendly or helpful. I waited by the counter for a long time while they were chatting with each other (clearly not work-related) and just stared at my while I stood there. No hello, or offers to help. Very off-putting. For some reason, they use the flashing vibrating device like when you're waiting in a big restaurant, although the place is tiny. It's overpriced too, $21 for a sandwich and a cookie, no drink. Thanks to the staff interactions and the price to value, I won't be back.

Their soup/salad/half-sandwich combo (forgot the menu name) is very good, fresh, and relatively cheaper than the other options. It's a healthy, fulfilling and delicious option if you want to have all three items but don't want to eat too much.

Clean, friendly, excellent menu, not a sterile chain store. More local friendly. I like that. I grabbed a coffee and most likely will be back for lunch. They have espresso drinks and a nice variety of pastries and a great menu. They have gluten free pastries which I think is a huge plus for people wanting that experience. I love the environment of this place. There is only one drawback and that is that they went cashless so you can only use a card. I am not someone for cashless businesses because it deflates our American dollar and takes away our capacity to use actual currency to keep the dollar strong and available. For this I am lowering my review score. But only that reason. We have to keep currency strong in our country or we lose the freedom to govern our own money as it becomes governed by banks only. Otherwise this business is amazing.

Was excited to try this place after hearing so many locals mention it, and it lived up to the hype. Quaint interior with seating some additional seating outside. Ordered the breakfast blt sandwich which was fresh and incredibly satisfying. Coffee was decent and staff was great, making me feel welcome on my first visit while launching right in to suggestions.

7/16 8:11am- I arrived at this cafe on my way to the office. The Cafe was empty with the exception of 1 gentleman sitting at a table.There were 3 people behind the counter who looked my way but never acknowledged my presence.I was in a hurry and felt it best to walk out.For the prices this Cafe charges their customer service should be more on point.

I was waiting to pick up my partner at Kaiser Campbell hospital. She called me saying that she'd had a blood sugar crash (29 mg/Dl!) and needed some food to get boosted and stabilized. I showed up at Purple Onion a few minutes before closing and explained that I needed a quick protein dish. The nice counter person assembled some shredded chicken and a salad in a to-go box. I delivered it and my partner soon had stabilized above 90, Thanks to my professional, efficient friends at Purple Onion!
