coffee w/ bailey at roy's station

do you know the way to san jose? if you do, you should stop by roy's station. what was once a gas station, is now an adorable coffee house. it is located in the area that is known as japantown (or jtown) in san jose.


bailey enjoyed her time at, dog friendly, roy's.

there is quite a history to this place. roy murotsune bought the gas station after he was freed from the internment camps in wwii. it was a gas station for decades until 1990 when it was shut down to avoid the high cost of updating tanks to the newer models that would meet state environmental standards. still owned by the murotsune family, it morphed into a coffee shop and was reopened in 2009 by roy's children and grandchildren.
