One of the original specialty coffee pioneers in the South Bay, Barefoot has been roasting exceptional beans since 2003 and remains a benchmark for quality in the region. Their espresso program is meticulous and the staff are among the most knowledgeable in the area. The space is no-frills but the coffee is the star. Located slightly outside central San Jose so it requires a short drive for most.
