Coffeehouse and restaurant set to open on Aug. 2.
Co-owner Carol Wang is envisioning Gardenia as a gathering space for members of the Los Gatos community, not just to eat but also for social occasions and corporate meetings. The new coffeehouse and fine dining restaurant is set to hold its soft opening July 27 in the historic Victorian mansion that was most recently home to The Palms.
Wang recently moved to Los Gatos from Danville. Before that, she worked as an internal physician in China. Since coming to the United States, Wang said, she had focused on raising her kids, but she identifies as a “foodie” and came to enjoy the culture surrounding coffee and coffeehouses about five years ago.
The French-Asian fusion cuisine, she said, was inspired by executive chef David Intonato’s background and Wang’s personal tastes, as well as the high concentration of Asian people in the Bay Area and the South Bay. Wang plans to apply this standard of excellence to all aspects of Gardenia – with 2022 World Barista Champion Morgan Eckroth, 2024 National Brewer’s Cup champion Weihong Zhang and latte art champion Andrew Choi all involved.The name Gardenia, Wang said, is inspired partially by the elegance of the flower, which she hopes to emulate at the shop, and partially from a trip to coffee farms in Panama, where she discovered that the coffee plant shares a similar scent to the fragrant Gardenia.
