Serving the Best Affordable Breakfast Near SJSU Since 1998
Peanuts Deluxe Café is Downtown San Jose’s legendary student spot. Located directly across from the MLK Library, we have been fueling Spartans, faculty, and City Hall professionals for over two decades.
A San Jose Tradition: Where the American Diner Meets Asian Fusion
We are not a typical chain restaurant. We are a family-owned landmark that understands the diverse palate of San Jose. Our kitchen specializes in a unique dual-menu concept that defines the “San Jose Diet.”
Mornings start with our famous “Pikes Peak”—a mountain of eggs, meat, and hash browns. By lunch, the grills switch to high heat for our signature Asian Rice Plates, featuring fresh stir-fry veggies and our secret Teriyaki sauce. Whether you want a classic Cheese burger or a healthy Rice Bowl, we deliver high-quality ingredients without the downtown price hike.
The "Unofficial Cafeteria" of Downtown San Jose
Our location at 275 E San Fernando St places us at the intersection of education and government. We are proud to be the preferred breakfast and lunch stop for the San Jose State University (SJSU) community and the hardworking staff at San Jose City Hall.
We believe in “Speed, Value, and Volume.” We know your lunch break is short and your budget matters. That is why we prioritize speed without sacrificing quality. Skip the third-party apps and the hidden fees—when you order direct from Peanuts, you are supporting a local business that has supported students for generations.
