Saratoga Gap w/ Bell Tower Cafe.

Saratoga Toll Rd, Beekhuis Road Trail and Syline to the Sea form a nice 8.1 mile , 1564' Loop Trail. About 80% shaded with a long gradual downhill and a long gradual incline in the second half (I know, I hate that too, but its gradual).
There is a restroom about halfway thru.
Route: Alltrails map
As always carpooling recommended:

After huffing and puffing our way back up, our hard work and a traffic-lightless 15 minute drive, will be rewarded at Bell Tower Cafe, 20490 Saratoga-Los Gatos Rd., Saratoga
