yam's yums

( south bay yumsies and funsies )

I'd include Milpitas and some of the penninsula, but I'm trying to keep a scope here. Hehe. Also, I'd avoid Valley Fair and Santana Row since parking is usually awful/anxiety-inducing, but if you can go there on a good day, woohoo.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these pictures nor do I earn money from them. I just referenced them from the business websites/reviews/etc. Also, I'm not sponsored to review/promote any of these spots.

Winchester's Mystery House

If you like eerie places to explore. Even in broad daylight you can't help but feel it's creepy. Definitely do the afterdark flashlight tour.

Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum

egyptianmuseum.org • 1660 Park Ave, San Jose, CA 95191

Near the SJ Rose Garden, an Egyptian museum with archtectural sight-seeing. After exploring through the museum inside, take time to adventure the outside area. It's a beaut.

OMESCAPE

omescape.us • 1135 E Arques Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085

If you like having fun. Giga unique stories and amazing room design. I did "The Apartment Next Door", and it was the funnest escape room I've ever done.

San Pedro Square Market

sanpedrosquaremarket.com • 87 N San Pedro St, San Jose, CA 95110

In DTSJ, a variety of delish foods, local shops, and live entertainment. Parking is decent, and price is a bit expensive, but if its your vibe, visit at least once.

Santo Market

santomarket.com • 245 E Taylor St, San Jose, CA 95112

Fresh poke and Hawaiian food lovers unite. Great tailgating spot (during non-busy hours since there's not a lot of parking spots).

Giovanni's Pizzeria

giovannisnypizza.com • 1127 Lawrence Expy, Sunnyvale, CA 94089

Straight gas. You'll know you're getting served real good pizza the moment you step inside. It's next to a gas station and the expressway. Just vibes.

La Casa Mia

lacasamiarestaurant.com • 3548 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara, CA 95051

Yummilicious Japanese-Italian fusion. Get the bolognese or the mentaiko pizza. Yummmm !! You'll most likely want to reserve seats before you go since it's a small place.

Enka Izakaya

enkajapaneseizakaya.com • 500 Lawrence Expy ste 100a, Sunnyvale, CA 94085

The best izakaya I've been to .. It's lowkey and everything they serve just melts in your mouth. Somewhat expensive, but treat yourself every now and then. :-)

Moon Tea

moontea.xyz • 513 S Pastoria Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086

Milk tea quality of the highest caliber. Jasmine Milk Tea + Changsha Stinky Tofu .. I'm in heaven. They are my go-to tea and snack shop.

Clover Bakery & Cafe

cloverbakery.com • 4342 Moorpark Ave, San Jose, CA 95129

Fresh baked goodsies for the tummy. It's small and cozy, with a tiny coffee shop. Try out the spaghetti bun !!
