    Honey Matcha Latte
    Katie T.

    Came here on grand opening and the line moved decently fast! They have a ton of menu options and work through orders quickly. They didn't have a regular matcha latte, only a honey matcha latte so was a bit on the sweet side but would love to try some of their flavored matchas! The jasmine oolong tea leans heavily on the jasmine side. When the hype dies down a bit, would love to work from here during the day since it's a great study spot and so cute!

    I'm patiently waiting for the matcha and tea bubble to burst. Anyone else? As much as I love both, I'm tired...tired of the long lines and disappointment with all the new matcha and tea shops opening. BUT, Arisan hits. So, their expansion to Sunnyvale is a WIN because I don't have trek further down to Viet Town for their drinks. *Specialties*: Matcha and Viet coffee. They also have milk teas, fruit teas, and their housemade desserts: choux and boxed cakes. They use fresh ingredients and fruits. No surcharge for oat milk. From their TeaHee days, housemade cheese balls available as a topping. It's savory cheese suspended in a jelly. Here's why I like Arisan and their new location: (+) Online ordering available (even during soft opening) so we didn't have to wait in line. (+) Feeling ballsy? Since they open at 9 am, you can get your boba fix in the morning instead of waiting until 11 am - 12 pm when other tea shops open. (+) They have sugarcane and pennywort drinks that's hard to find in the Sunnyvale/Santa Clara area. (+) Spacious with plenty of seating indoors and two tables outside. Free WiFi and outlets. (+) Two restrooms. (+) EAAASSSSY parking. So much easier compared to their E San Jo location. Unfortunately, Arisan's drinks are not on par with their original location yet. Visited during the soft opening and it was 10% off everything so giving them grace: * Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea, less sweet ($8.25) It was creamier than usual, and while the roasty tea flavor came through, there was an odd cinnamon aftertaste. * Pandan Green Milk Tea, less sweet ($8.25) Creamy with a distinct grassy vanilla-y pandan flavor but the floral green flavor was on the weaker side. * Strawberry Matcha Einspänner, less sweet ($7.95) - Whisked to order Strong earthy flavor mellowed by the milk and strawberry puree. Topped with a creamy, cloud-like strawberry sweet cream for dessert vibes. * Einspänner Latte, less sweet ($7.50) Diaaaabeeeeteees sweet and the Arabica coffee wasn't as bold. S E R V I C E Cordial and efficient service. We ordered online, and our order was ready in just 7-8 minutes (Saturday afternoon). Overall, happy to see Arisan expand further north[west] with easy parking!

    Tiramisu latte
    Alex Z.

    I've heard a lot about this place and was excited for their expansion to Sunnyvale! No wait on a Monday at lunchtime although I hear it's been busy on weekends; I ordered a tiramisu latte and got it quickly. The drink looked great like all their drinks do, and I really liked that they gave a marscapone biscuit on the side (in a bag for easy takeout). The drink itself was a bit of a miss, it tasted a bit like concentrated cold brew coffee with a bitter off taste. I think they're much more known for their matcha drinks which I'm excited to try next time. The vibe here is amazing though! Spacious and bright with lots of seating, and I love the decor, there's a full length mirror, plants everywhere, and flowers on every table. Seems like a great place to study or hang out, I'll definitely be back :)

    Strawberry matcha
    Sarah A.

    Best matcha in sunnyvale! I've been on a mission to find a decent strawberry matcha, and this place blows everywhere else out of the water. ​Usually, they're either way too sweet or taste like artificial syrup, but they absolutely nailed the balance here. The matcha is super high-quality and smooth. Can't wait to come back!

    Einspanner Latte
    Eilien L.

    Love that I no longer have to drive all the way to San Jose just to get my Arisan fix. I ordered the Einspänner latte with oat milk and asked for it to be less sweet. Huge shoutout to the staff for recommending it because it ended up being exactly my kind of drink. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, they can definitely customize it for you. The balance is what really stood out. The cream is rich and velvety without overpowering the espresso, which still comes through with a bold flavor. It actually reminded me of Vietnamese egg coffee, but much lighter and more delicate. You still get that luscious, creamy texture without any eggy taste or aroma. Overall, they absolutely nailed it. The café itself is also incredibly cute with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It is the perfect spot for a casual date, catching up with friends, or getting some work done with a good cup of coffee.

    Matcha Einspanner
    Anh N.

    I was super excited to see another Arisan location open since I'm a huge fan of the one on Story Road. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as Hankook Supermarket and is noticeably more spacious than the Story Road location. I was surprised to see it already so packed during their soft opening phase. Unfortunately, my drink (Matcha Einspanner) was a letdown. It tasted very watered down and lacked the richness I was expecting. While the drink was prepared quickly, the service didn't feel as warm or welcoming. Since they're still in their soft opening phase, I'm willing to give them another shot and see if things improve.

    Not bad for a soft opening! We ordered three drinks and it all came out fast (less than 5 minutes). Ordered: Strawberry matcha einspanner latte Banana matcha latte Mango passion fruit oolong tea It was really refreshing and the taste is better than expected! Only problem is there is not enough seatings. Will be coming back.

    Banana matcha

    New matcha place! So excited to have a new matcha place in sj, during their soft opening phase- they still have a lot of items available! I can't wait till their grand opening! Service is quick and efficient, they were true sweethearts. Ambiance is so warm and cozy, truly loving the vibes down all the way from the music choice in store. I got the banana matcha latte and the banana has a true banana flavor with no artificial taste and you can definitely taste a little bit of banana bits. (Extra points cause they had oat milk available!) Next drink Pandan milk tea- sooooo delicious! Refreshing and not overbearingly sweet. A must try if you're in the area!

    Tie guan yin oolong milk teas with tea jellies. No ice, so cup is less filled.
    Amy Y.

    I'm so glad there's now an Arisan in Sunnyvale! I went during the soft opening week and tried their Tie Guan Yin oolong milk tea, which includes tea jellies. The tea flavor was strong but the drink itself was a little on the sweet side, even with "less sugar". I love the taste and texture of the tea jellies, which reminds me of Torotea or Hechalou in SoCal. The cashier was very nice. Several people were crowded at the front, because the menus are posted only by the cashier. It might help to have menus or QR codes available throughout the store to prevent crowding during the grand opening. The store itself is spacious, modern, and clean, and has seating for small groups of 2-4. Now onto areas where I could see improvement. I struggle to identify the cafe, because they seems to specialize in matcha, but also offer milk teas, pastries, and Vietnamese desserts. I was hesitant to order the milk tea because it didn't seem like their specialty, and at $8+ for a drink, was a steep investment. Simplifying the menu, or highlighting specialties would help guide customers. As someone who prefers hot drinks, I was also disappointed that there are no hot drinks on the menu, and drinks without ice would appear to be less filled. Overall, I'm so happy to see a local chain succeeding and will definitely revisit!

    Visited at opening hour during soft opening for their BOGO free banana drinks promo :) Easy parking (parking lot) located next to Hankook Supermarket. Lots of seating and small tables available with outlets along the wall - great for doing work or studying :) There is also free wifi! Love the interior - very calming, warm/woody brown with plants and flowers! The staff were kind and helpful with my questions~~ I got the banana coffee and banana matcha, both less sweet. Both were SO delicious and my mom and sister agreed! Loved them! They add mashed banana at the bottom so the drinks are very banana-y (in a real and very good way). Very flavorful matcha and coffee. So good! Will be back to try more items. :)

    I love the Arisan in San Jose and was excited to see that they expanded to Sunnyvale! The pandan green milk tea here is one of my go-tos. I tried it at this location and the pandan taste wasn't super apparent, but still loved the floral creamy taste of the milk tea. I also like the free tea jelly that comes with all of the milk tea options. Would come back!

    Taro matcha
    Kimi C.

    Came midday on a weekday & the vibes were chill, laid back, and cozy. There's a row of cushioned bench seats along the wall that serves as a great study corner! Even have outlets all along & wifi posted on the wall. I had the taro matcha & matcha on matcha. The taro matcha definitely tastes like taro if that's what you're looking for. Personally, I felt like the taro overpowered the matcha itself. Enjoyable but probably wouldn't get it again. The matcha on matcha was solid. I was able to actually taste the matcha in this drink as compared to the taro matcha. Note: they only have whole milk & oat milk options. Their cream tops are a bit on the thicker side so it's hard to get a balanced sip of cream + matcha. I will say I appreciated how the cream top wasn't just a chunk/coagulated though and at least you could just stir to mix it in with the rest of the drink. The staff are also very friendly! One of my drinks was wayyy too sweet to be "less sweet" and they immediately offered to remake it. I will say they are in their soft opening right now and seem to still be training some new hires on how to make drinks, but they are very nice people & made my experience here feel welcoming. Would definitely come back to try more drinks!

    Banana matcha
    Rona B.

    I was so excited to see this opening up in my neighborhood! Sadly, they took a long time to make my drink despite being one of the very few customers (just 1 order ahead of mine). I waited about 15 minutes for one matcha and I can see that everything is pre made (matcha bottle and cold foam bottle) In terms of the drink itself, the banana was far too overpowering. About half of a banana is mashed into the bottom of the cup. I can appreciate the efforts and authenticity, but i think the formula needs a better ratio between banana:matcha flavor. The sweet corn cake was great- soft and spongy, with good corn flavor.

    I had ordered my dad's birthday cake from here back in 2024 (salted yolk/pork sung/matcha mix…read morecake), and it was absolutely delicious! This time I decided to stop by here after dinner, my first time sitting down here and ordering. The inside is very clean, modern, and Pinterest-like. They added more decorations and seating from 2 years ago, making the inside more aesthetic. whaT's More always has unique Asian flavors, like durian, earl grey, pandan, red bean, and oolong. The cakes are not too sweet, so definitely Asian parent approved haha! Unfortunately, when we came around 6:30pm, they were sold out of most flavors - so would definitely recommend coming earlier or just ordering online earlier in the morning for pickup. We got the sesame dark chocolate crepe cake. When you eat in the store, the owner provides you with free cups of tea, which are really great for washing down the cake. The chocolate was super rich, and they did not skimp out on the flavor - super chocolatey. The sesame added such a fun earthy and nutty flavor - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cake is on the slightly denser side, so was super filling. While on the pricier side, the flavors are super unique and the craft that goes into crepe cakes is commendable. I will be ordering my next cake from here again!

    After randomly browsing Yelp and found this place, we happened to be nearby and I decided on an…read moreimpromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon. The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back!

We got the red bean and the strawberry flavors - the portions were very large for a bay-area reasonable price of less than $15 item. It was my first visit and honestly, I was a bit disappointed; while there were lots of fresh fruits, I found the flavor bland and not sweet enough - which may be someone's jam? I wished it had more condensed milk to give it a more creamy flavor. The shaved ice was beautiful and fluffy - i'd say this is the main draw that may bring me back to try new flavors. There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.
