Came with no expectations, because Vietnamese coffee is not particularly my go-to coffee drink, but…read morewow ! their Signature Saigon (house blend coffee with cloud cream) caught me off guard with how good the coffee was - not bitter, not acidic, and had roasty notes of hazelnut. The subtly-salty cloud cream topping was delicious as well, and complemented the coffee. I selected 25% sweet & less ice, which was perfect. Also got the Coco-Bo (coconut milk avocado smoothie-slushie) - 0% sweet, but not sure how they adjust this ~ it was still sweet, as both the coconut part & avocado part were separately sweet, but still enjoyable & refreshing. One small caveat is that the avocado part is a paste so even though it's most likely house made, to me the texture is a little processed (as opposed to chunky blended avocado). I am dreaming about when I can return to get their Signature Saigon again & try their other coffee drinks.

DoorDashed an order for my coworkers and I. Their drinks were full, but mine wasn't. Safety tape was still on. I got the Coconut. Flavor is good, but the portion is not. Suppose to also come with grass jelly. I thought, maybe they forgot the jelly. Nope. I dug around for it and they didn't forget, it was just an extremely small amount. Less ice meant remove ice and leave cup empty I guess. How much does another 4oz of coffee and milk cost? Cents. Alternative would've been to fill the space with more grass jelly. Also cheap to do. What. A. Disappointment. If you're thinking about trying this place out, purchase in-store for when they're being stingy, you can get it fixed.

There's one I always recommend to my friends, which is the corn einspanner. You have to try it. It's so good in a weirdly comforting way, like it fixes something in me every time I drink it. Maybe it's because it tastes exactly like corn milk - the kind I used to have for breakfast back in Vietnam. I also really like their matcha. It's strong, high quality, and honestly their cream foam is one of the best in the Bay Area. Super smooth and not too sweet. I've never had a bad drink here. Everything is consistent which is kind of rare these days. If you're around, you really should check them out.

Second time is a charm!…read more This location is easy to miss, and parking is hard to spot (you need to park in the residential area). Once you go in, you need to order at the kiosk like typical drink spots, and wait accordingly. When I went on a Wednesday morning, it was pretty empty, which might be great since it does have some tables to work from home and do homework! It is also bit on the quiet side, which is another pro. , The first time I went to Haiku, I did not enjoy the drink I got (which I do not remember what it was), but the second time I went, my friend and I ordered an Obsidian Hojicha latte and their Banana cream top hojicha, and it was amazing! Their hojichas have a very deep flavor profile that I have not experienced with other shops yet, and I would be interested to know what powders they have used. I definitely want to come back to try their guava matcha :)

Parking is a pain though, it's in the middle of Vietnam town which is always packed. I ordered the jasmine milk tea with jelly and it was good the tea had a nice floral flavor, tasted fresh, though I would prefer it to be more sweet. The jelly was a great add-on too. I can tell why this place is popular! I want to try the matcha einspinnar next because I heard that was popular. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the area!

I don't know how long this place has been open but I have been missing out!…read more Recently discovered this place last week and went three times in a row. I consider myself a matcha connoisseur so I had to go and try their matcha myself. Long and behold - banana matcha and sticky rice matcha were pretty darn good! Matcha tasted pretty bold. I wish there was more banana cream in the banana matcha but the flavor was there. Same for mango sticky rice matcha - worth a try! Smashed avocado and mango fangs were bomb too! Would def get again! Service was fast but the cashier seemed to be in a hurry when I was ordering. She constantly asked "is that it?" and I felt rushed. But no biggie. Ambiance - small shop, chairs and tables available to sit but not for a long period of time I feel like. Would I come again? Absolutely - take my $$$ but not all of it haha. ***Also this post took me out of Yelp retirement! That's how you know I loved this place

Matcha should be THIS green! We tried the guava li-hing matcha and mango sticky rice matcha, and…read morewere highly impressed with the quality and flavor of their ceremonial matcha. Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside. I wouldn't say this is an ideal study spot, but it is very aesthetic and bright. Parking was not a problem since this location is in a plaza.

They had placed a very small, finger‑sized glass jar with a little water and tiny flowers on the table. As I was about to sit, my phone slipped accidentally, and the jar fell and broke. Even though it was unintentional, they charged me $20 for it. So before you visit, just be careful with the delicate items placed around, as any accidental damage may still be charged.

But my friend took one sip of theirs and was instantly disappointed. It was way too sweet.

You order via their tablets or if you're having a hard time, there is also someone at the front register to assist. Clean, fast, efficient! Tried the thai tea cremebrulee drink too.

I've been here twice now, and unfortunately this visit was a disappointing experience. I decided to…read moretry something new--the Lychee Berry Smoothie--but it didn't turn out well. While I generally like strawberries, the strawberry sauce in this drink tasted off. Not sure if it taste bad because it's near the end of the day. I noticed a sign stating that if you're not satisfied with your drink, it can be remade. So I politely asked if they could remake mine without the strawberry since that was the only issue. At first, the employee told me they couldn't remake it without strawberry, which was confusing given the posted policy. I explained again that the strawberry tasted bad and pointed out the sign. Only then did she agree to remake it. Everything else about the drink was fine, and I wouldn't have asked for a remake if the strawberry sauce hadn't tasted spoiled. The interaction just felt unnecessarily difficult and left a bad impression. It was upsetting to end my day with this kind of experience. Honestly, this place isn't my favorite to begin with--I only came because my boyfriend likes it--but after this, I probably won't be ordering anything for myself again.
