Downtown Campbell has one of the best farmers markets that operate 365 days a year, rain or shine. Check it out on Sunday mornings. Also of note are the swirls at Aqui (be careful, they’re strong!), Manresa Bread, Orchard Valley Coffee, Opa, Redemption, and Spellcraft.

Tessora’s is my favorite local wine bar. They have a fabulous wine selection and great food. If it’s a nice day, I often sit outside.

Orchard City Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in the South Bay. Small plates (perfect for sharing), and killer cocktails.

They may not be the most authentic tacos, but they sure are delicious. Their margaritas are also amazing. My favorites are the lobster taco and jalapeño margarita. Great for happy hour.

I tried 10 different ramen shops during the course of 2021 fall and winter. This was hands down the very best by far. No frills and hype like some other places. The ramen speaks for itself. Go get some!

Lovely historic neighborhood great for walking. Stop and smell the roses (literally) at the rose garden, then walk around University Avenue to marvel at the homes. Hungry? Grab a sandwich at Zanotto’s.

One of the few remaining Japantowns in the US. Check out if any festivals are happening while you’re in town. Great place to spend a few hours while supporting local small businesses. My favorites are Roy’s Station Coffee and Tea, Minato Japanese Cuisine, and Nichi Bei Bussan.
