Cafe Primavera, San Jose

This stylish eatery with its crackled concrete floor, Art Deco posters, black chairs and beige-colored counter tops, is housed in the former Adobe Computers building on Almaden Boulevard. Cafe Primavera is a popular lunch destination for office-going folks and visitors from the nearby San Jose Convention Center. Try a focaccia sandwich like the Greek Vegetarian with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, artichoke hearts, the bread smeared with Kalamata Olive Mayonnaise and sprinkled with Feta cheese or the old favorite B.L.T. and A.—bacon, lettuce and tomato with avocado on sourdough bread with sun dried tomato mayonnaise. Complete the meal with a special latte.
