Super friendly staff and nice to try something new as I've never had Yemeni chai which was unique for me. Open late and a fairly quiet space (I can't recall if there was music but it definitely wasn't overly loud inside) that is great to meet up with friends for an intimate discussion or study. Saw plenty of people studying there and the staff is so friendly! Tried a variety of desserts which were great. A bit sweet for my Asian tastebuds still not overly sweet like some American desserts. Check them out!!
Bae Tea Coffee is located in a strip mall along Tully Road. Relaxing place where you can enjoy a drink, snack, or dessert. They have table/chairs, couches, etc. The service was friendly. *Pistachio Milk Cake - this was good, moist obviously from the milk. My first time trying it. *Ice Yemeni Chai: cardamom, cream and beatea spices. Come support your local business.
Not what you see on Yelp! Totally different business take over. The plus is they actually have really strong coffee. Very nice staff just went out of the way to get here to try some of the photos I seen, and unfortunately it was a completely different business. None of the same names for the coffee and none of the same types of drinks. Their menu is very limited.. They do have some different pastries. It's just not anything that was on the yelp menu so it was a little disappointing very pretty inside. Very nice to take some photos. Inside of all in all I would not come back here, but it's not a horrible place to get a cup of Joe My drink was a 3 1/2 out of 5 had biscoff.
We saw a reel and came to this place. The complex itself is a little shady, but once you're in, it's a really cool cafe ! They have put efforts in the decor. The desserts were super amazing ! The best one was their rose milk cake, followed by biscoff cheese cake. The other options also looked pretty appetizing. We tried the Nutella shake and their yemeni coffee, both of which were really good ! The server was very friendly and made extra efforts in making sure we had a good time. Nice chill spot in San Jose for a unique tea break !
So it was late I was looking for a coffee shop in San Jose . Came across this one looked good online . We did go kinda late they were going to close in 30 minutes. Inside it was small but cute decor. I wanted some dessert they had some milk cakes but they looked a little dry maybe because it was the end of the night ? So I ended up getting some baklava and some coffee. They were both good noting really stood out to me . Then the man said they closing in 5 minutes so we took off . It was an okay experience not sure if I would be back .
Authentic Yemeni coffee and chai with delicious desserts and Arab decor. Yemeni coffee and chai was strong. I like adding a bit of sweetness like honey and it adds a whole new flavor profile to the drink. The rose milk was moist and tasty and not overly sweet. Lotus milk cake was also delicious. The kanafeh cheesecake was slightly on the drier side. Customer service was great and they really look out for the customer in making sure you have a good experience.
Second time visiting this cafe. From ambiance to the food, everything was great. This time I brought a friend to this cafe who really enjoyed the art work, decor, service and food. I was sad that they were out of the Pistachio Latte but the owner recommended the Yemeni Tea. It was fall in a cup of tea. Lots of rich flavors! Forgot the name of cake and beef pastry but both pleasing to the palette. Definitely a hidden gem in East San Jose!!! We will both be back.
Beautiful cafe, not overly crowded (like Qamaria) and delicious yemeni chai and desserts! Very happy to have a Yemeni tea place in San Jose and am happy to report that the quality is better than some of the other equivalent cafes in the bay area. The prices are also reasonable - around $5 for the tea and around $8-$10 for desserts (cake slices, cheesecakes, honey milk cake, kunafeh) The desserts and savory snack variety is also quite large, the service was great and friendly and the ambience is also beautiful. I especially liked the fact that it wasn't overly crowded (busy but not crazy), and there was ample parking available in the strip mall parking lot.
Came to Bae Tea Coffee after a friend shared an IG reel (I admit we were influenced lol) of this new shop that opened off of Tully Road in SJ. But wow does it really live up to the hype! Not only are they open a bit later than most tea/coffee shops, they are Yemeni-based so you know their tea and coffee are strong! The inside is brightly lit with plenty of seating options for people to hang out. There's a counter displaying all their baked goods, which (again) influenced me to order one! I ordered a Yemeni chai and a Bee Bite, mainly because the name of it is so cute lol The chai tasted great, but the bee bite went so well with it! It is basically a pastry with pockets of cream cheese and honey drizzled over. Highly recommend. According to my friend, the baklava is delicious. Service was also great. The young man who helped us had jokes, and was patient with us when we were undecisive with what to get. Definitely a must try and I hope they stay for a long time!
No lie their sign was huge and catchy and that's what caught my attention. Here was my experience. AMBIANCE: Parking: Shared parking lot, I didn't have any issues but might depend on the time of day. Seating: Inside seating, good for small groups or pairs. Vibes: Welcome to East Side San Jose. This area is a grit and grind suburban area. It's an eventful area especially since it's close to the Eastridge Mall. The spot itself is pretty neat. You're welcomed with music from Yemen along with photos of the country, they are not shy of taking pride of their culture from the aesthetics to the food/drinks. It's more of a social, lounge, study type of spot. FOOD: Yemeni Chai (Recommend) A good kick like your usual chai, a little creamy that makes it smooth. What makes this stand out is the sweet taste of cardamom (be sure to stir) CUSTOMER SERVICE: Phil was great! Helpful with picking a drink and quick with the order. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Delicious flavors, great choices, and a pleasant vibe. I had a good time here. I'm pretty new to Yemen culture but I'm looking forward to learn and explore more. Props to the Bae Tea Coffee Team on bringing the first Yemeni coffee shop to San Jose! TIPS: * Bay Tea actually means my home in Arabic
Visited Bae Tea for the first time last weekend & am so happy we did! The store is unassuming from the outside in a little strip mall type area but the inside is so cute & has new decor. Even though it was a little busy when we got there they made our order quickly and the staff was so helpful in answering our questions. We got the Turkish coffee, pistachio latte, & a refresher, alongside 2 of their milk cakes. Everything tasted great, we will absolutely be going back!
A really nice coffee shop in San jose - with some special Yemeni coffee drinks and Yemeni desserts I got the Yemeni coffee which was excellent - very aromatic and yummy. I just wish they would serve it in a little finjan with a little cup . That would have been perfect . 4.1/5 I also tried the pistachio baklava which was ...just ok. I had better . 3.5/5 Daughter tried the ube latte and said it was pretty good . 3.9/5 I will come back bc the coffee is so unique and hard to find in our area !

Was in the area and decided to stop by and check this spot out to grab a quick dessert. Parking was ample as it's part of a complex. Walking in, you are instantly transported - the decor and seating is gorgeous! There is indoor seating only and they had beautiful pastries displayed. We ended up going with the pistachio cheesecake and it was delicious and so unique in flavor! The person at the front was also very helpful in providing recommendations and telling us more about the cafe. We will definitely be back to try drinks and more desserts! read more

My friend and I decided to check out a new cafe we hadn't been to before. The place was super clean with a really nice interior vibe. The barista was friendly and welcoming. Right before we could order, they let us know they were out of the pistachio drink I was excited to try. So instead, I went with a chai, and my friend got a caramel macchiato, asking for it to be less sweet. My chai turned out great and had a perfect balance of sweet and bitter. But my friend took one sip of theirs and was instantly disappointed. It was way too sweet. We figured maybe they weren't able to adjust the sweetness for the caramel macchiato, but it would've been helpful to get a heads up about that. read more

New coffee shop in SJ! YEMEN specialized at that. I normally drive all the way to Fremont for Yemeni but glad there's something similar here closer to me. The plaza is a bit sketchy but the place really stands out. They touched the places with so designs, there are also plenty of seats. I ordered their pistachio latte with almond milk substitute. It wasn't too sweet at all and was well balanced out. My boyfriend got the IBB coffee with zero sweetness, he liked it because there were notes of cinnamon and chocolate. Black coffee lovers would probably like this. Their desserts all looked really good, I had to try their pistachio milk cake. The milk cake is a bit denser and not as wet compared to the yemeni coffee shop in Fremont. We had a nice chat with the worker there, he's super nice. Definitely recommend a try! read more

I got here at 9:05 am as they are advertised to be open from 9 am to 11 pm. The door was locked and there was no one there. I thought to wait for a bit to see if anyone would come. I called the 408 number from their Google business page a few times but the number is invalid. At 9:17 am, I placed an online order for a latte to see if I'd get a message or anything. It said will be ready by 9:27 am. 9:27 am came but still, no one was there. I had even tipped as well because I planned to stay here for a while to study. I found a 559 number to text on the Google business page but no response. I also called that number and the automated voice directed me to the voicemail box as it said "You reached Bae Tea Coffee, please leave a message and we will get back to you" like what? It's 9:30 am now, and I'm pretty upset I waited almost 30 minutes yet they're still not open as advertised. I guess they just open whenever they want? Their door says "open 7 days a week" but don't have hours on it. read more

When we walked in, my boyfriend and I really liked the decor. We ordered the adeni chai, mangolicious, bee bites, and biscoff cheesecake. Everything was delicious but the highlights were the drinks. One of the best adeni chais I've tasted and I've had a good amount at other Yemeni coffee shops. The mangolicious had good flavor, they definitely use high quality ingredients. The service was great, he helped us with suggestions on drinks and they came out pretty fast. Would definitely come back again! read more
My friends and I ordered iced chai teas, and a biscoff latte. We also ordered several of the desserts. You can place your order on a self service screen or with an employee. My favorite desserts were the tres leeches and the rose milk cake. The baklava had a great flavor but was a little on the dry side. Ore cheesecake was really good too. The pomegranate pistachio dessert was not my thing but my friends were obsessed with it. I wasn't a fan of the chewy texture of it. We all enjoyed our beverages. I think next time I'll go with the extra sweet option for my chai tea. I think the iced watered down the sweetness a bit. Overall we enjoyed everything. The decor is super cute. We spent well over 2 hrs there just enjoying the vibe and our beverages/desserts. Will definitely be back, excited about this addition to the neighborhood. read more

Was excited to see a local coffee shop on Tully! I came in during a weekday. I love the interior in here and the fact that it's Sharks themed. I tried the Horchata Chai and it was pretty good! I personally don't like my drinks too sweet, and even though this drink was sweet I enjoyed the taste. There is a lot of seating here and WiFi available to come in and do some work. Overall a cute shop, I'll be back to try their coffee drinks. They use Chromatic beans! read more

Came here to check out the coffee menu and was pleasantly surprised to see quite a spread. The dessert offerings also look very interesting. We had the IBB Coffee and a mango smoothie. The IBB Coffee is made with cardamom, cinnamon and evaporated milk. Very smooth and a balanced flavor. Spices were not overpowering. I asked for no sugar but the server probably didn't hear my order right. But he made sure to let us know that he had added a small amount of sugar. To that, I think that was a good choice! The Mangolicious smoothie was nothing to shout about. It was delicious. Don't think it was made fresh. The fig, hazelnut and honey dessert was a true highlight. Not a big fan of super sweet food but I couldn't resist anything fig. The texture is chewy and nutty. While the honey is subtle, the combination of these 3 components in addition to the pistachio powder on the outside makes each bite absolutely delightful. The coffee shop is simple (was there during the day) and mostly clean. Seats may have some crumbs. If there's anything I would suggest to improve on -- keep the temperature down especially during a warm/hot day. Felt a little stuffy. Otherwise, staff was good. Parking was easy. read more
I've been meaning to try this place after seeing it pop up on Yelp and also on Instagram. We decided to try the Iced Strawberry Cream Matcha and the Iced Churro Latte. The Strawberry wasn't super overpowering and in fact tasted like nostalgia (similar to Nesquik strawberry milk) and blended well with the Matcha. The Iced Churro Latte was a perfect balance between a bold flavor and great hint of churro. Both are great recommendations to take! It's also nice to know this is owned by someone who grew up here in the area. The owner (I'm assuming) is a cool guy and greets everyone who enters. They do events here for the local community and kids in need which is awesome. Interior: Plenty of space to study and work if needed, comfortable couches, and board games in addition for friends! read more
Had a meet up with a couple of my girlfriends and I must say I was a little nervous about this place because of the area but when I walk in all of that went away! The ambiance is pretty cute! Definitely recommend visiting on the less busy days, staff is really nice! The food was tasty! It's worth checking out. read more
Cute littke cafe with an amazing ambiance. The coffee and tea both taste really good! They also have a amazing dessert menu, everything we tried tasted good. The service is a little slow so make sure you consider that and have enough time when you try this place out! read more
absolutely stunning yemeni coffee shop serving unique espresso and tea beverages, alongside specialty blended drinks and unique desserts! i stopped by as i needed a spot to do some work in the evening. they have gorgeous ornate interior design, tons of seating, charging outlets, a clean bathroom, and i think there's wifi? so this is really good for doing work or meeting up with friends! they do play music at a moderate volume if that matters to you. parking wasn't difficult, there's a parking lot. pricing is pretty standard! i tried the yemeni tea with less sugar. it was super strong and not sweet at all, so be aware if you like sweet drinks! i saw they had a lot of desserts like baklava and kunafa, but didn't try them. i'd be interested in coming back to try their coffees and desserts! definitely check this out if you need a good work/hangout spot or just want to support this business! read more

Was excited to try what might be the first Yemeni coffee shop in San Jose. Bae Tea has a beautiful interior and traditional Yemeni and Turkish coffee as well as interesting flavors like a lotus biscoff latte. The barista Philly (?) was super sweet and gave us baklava for free to welcome us since Bae Tea just opened. Also, I love that it is open for so many hours of the day and not too crowded. Very nice, relaxing, and chill place to meet friends. This is going to be one of my new spots in town! read more

My friend & I met here for coffee, I got an iced ube latte and she got an iced cookie butter latte. Ordered at the kiosk but the man who made our orders was very nice. Iced Ube Latte 1/5 -NOT UBE FLAVOURED, but rather lavender flavour -There were rose petals on top of the drink, which was cute but made for an unpleasant drinking experience because the petal bits were gross -Lavendar flavoured but did not taste any lavendar, just regular coffee Cookie Butter Latte 2/5 -No cookie butter flavour -Just tasted like a regular iced coffee, a mediocre one at that Overall, the drinks were okay at best, didn't try the pastries, selling point of the store is definitely the decorations. read more

Asked for a recommendation for something lowkey sweet, but the strong flavor of coffee. I was recommended the IBB Latte. It was really good, nice balance of sweetness and taste of coffee. This is a place I would come back to if I'm ever in the area. The service was great and the place looks like a good spot to come with your girl or friends and kick it. read more

I visited Bae Tea Coffee in San Jose and had high expectations considering all the great reviews -- but unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. There was only one employee working, and I felt bad for him because it took nearly 30 minutes to get our drinks. The pastries were stale and lacked flavor, though the coffee itself was good. They also didn't have much of a dessert selection, which was a letdown. read more
