🇺🇸 Hijau Coffee brings an Indonesian single-origin focus to San Jose
Hijau Coffee has opened in San Jose with a specialty programme centred on Indonesian single-origin coffees, selected by its founders and roasted with Barefoot Coffee. The new shop combines a dedicated manual-pourover setup with espresso service and Indonesian market snacks, while its September 5 opening included Balinese dance and gamelan performances.
Why it matters: San Jose is outside Filter Notes’ core city list, but this is a strong adjacent Bay Area signal with a specific coffee point of view rather than a generic café launch. Indonesian coffees are often underrepresented in retail menus, and Hijau has built the room around origin, food and cultural context. It is worth watching for anyone planning coffee stops across the wider San Francisco Bay Area.
