December 6 at 8am
Villa Mira Monte · Morgan Hill
Sip tea in a beautifully restored 1880s Victorian home surrounded by rose gardens and local history. The Holiday Tea at Villa Mira Monte pairs elegant tradition with the warm hospitality of Morgan Hill's most charming historic estate.
East San Mateo
This bright, airy cafe serves Korean staples like Bulgogi Sandwiches and Spam Musubi alongside milk tea drinks. Tucked into a business plaza with a waterfront park next door, it's the neighborhood hangout locals kept to themselves.
Old Mountain View • $13.95
T. Castle brings Hong Kong cafe culture to Mountain View, serving crispy egg puffs stuffed with sweet and savory fillings alongside silky milk teas and boba-topped soft serve. The bubble waffles come out warm and crackly: try them with Oreo, seaweed and meat floss, or go wild with the "Corny" Puffy Dog wrapped in egg waffle batter.
Brokaw
Watch a robot barista craft drinks with Vietnamese coffee in this spacious, modern cafe designed for working, gaming, or just marveling at the tech.
Saratoga • $
Boba tea meets Vietnamese café with a playful twist. Sip creative drinks like Strawberry Horchata while snacking on crispy banh mi, churro-dusted Liege waffles, or seaweed-seasoned fries.
Los Gatos
Marcel Khorsand literally dreams up ice cream flavors at this Persian-inspired Los Gatos creamery. Expect adventurous scoops like Saffron Pistachio, Rose Yuzu Lemonade, and Cardamom Chocolate made with local organic milk.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
