Willow Glen tourist spots

Once an incorporated city in its own right, Willow Glen is today a uniquely charming neighborhood in San Jose. Like a small town, with its own main street, Lincoln Avenue, Willow Glen is lush with tree-lined streets, punctuated with architecturally distinctive single family homes, many of them Victorian and Spanish-style built in the 1920s and 1930s. The Lincoln Avenue downtown business district, located between Coe and Minnesota, is lined with sidewalk cafes, Italian delis, home design stores and clothing boutiques. Although Starbucks, Peets, Noah's Bagels and others have established outposts to mine Willow Glen's lucrative demographics, most Lincoln Avenue stores continue to be locally owned and operated retail businesses. In fact, Willow Glen features two of the Silicon Valley area's only remaining independent bookstores. Gentrification transformed Willow Glen in the 1990s. And even today, it's a diverse community with a rich tapestry of quiet, enjoyable and very livable Silicon Valley attributes.

With wonderful restaurants and delis,
Willow Glen has become a staple for local San Jose residents. Enjoy a weekend breakfast at John's XLNT Foods or grab a great Italian lunch at La Villa deli. For those who prefer fine dining in Willow Glen, Vin Santo is warm and welcoming. Stop by WineStyles of Willow Glen, select a great wine for under $25, and receive free corkage at participating Willow Glen restaurants.
