    The food is decent and coffee is strong as we liked it. It's mostly quiet easy to read and do some work if you're up for it. The only downside is there is no restroom, if you're looking for a restroom you'll have to use the gas station restroom next door. Overall I will come back to try other drinks and other Banh Mis!

    I got the banana coffee and it was pretty good. I enjoy that they used Vietnamese coffee as the base and the flavor was there. It was balanced and not too sweet. The service was fast and efficient! The workers took our order and got our drinks out in less than 15 minutes! The store is attached to a Chevron, so the parking is limited. The ambiance inside is clean and modern, but very small with limited seating.

    Pate chaud (pork)

    Ordered a cold cut banh mi and pate chaud off doordash. The large cold cut banh pi was good and I would definitely get it again. However, the pork pate chaud being almost 5 dollars was not it. The meat to pastry ratio was not even. It seemed like it was only half stuffed with meat so I do not recommend it. There are better places to get pate chaud from.

    This place is super duper slow. It's best to order in advance with nowhere urgent to go to. Take a walk nearby and come back. Inside is still modern. The coffee is on the sweeter side. Pandan waffles are good and must be eaten there or else they stale fast. The pate chaud is done well here. Flaky and juicy meat on the inside.

    After revisiting at least five times since their opening day, I can say that they have made a huge improvement in the staffs and Banh Mi sandwiches here. It was quiet on Sunday mornings inside, but lines are popular at times and getting orders ready can take more than 15 minutes depending on what you ordered. Chicken pate chaud tasted good and the half size veggie Banh Mi sandwich was decently stuffed with vegetables with very crumby and crispy soft bread texture. Fresh. Packaging was convenient. My lotus coconut beverage was good in size too. I ordered from the easy self service kiosk. My server greeted me and took care of my needs over the counter. I tried many items on the menu before, including latte, matcha beverages, coconut matcha beverage when it existed, Vietnamese coffee, teas, all types pate chaud, buttered croissants, other banh mi sandwiches, etc. Convenience is key. Some of the matcha beverages with fruits is too sweet for my tastebuds though. It feels like they're focused on food/beverage quality nowadays. Wait times can still be longer than expected at times, but the last few employees I came across were actually more productive with better training. It can turn out to be a hit or miss experience at times. Environment is decent and modern with good upkeep. It's pretty comfortable inside when there are lesser crowds and long lines for sure.

    Egg Foam Coffee, pork belly banh mi

    This is a newer cafe and I heard about it through my friends. They serve banh mi and it's not bad. Service is a little slower but at least the drinks come out correctly. They are known for their coffee so of course I had to try the egg coffee. Wish it had a little more egg flavor but otherwise it was decent. Their matcha on the other hand is really weak in flavor. The store is clean but with little parking.

    Definite great place for my coffee. I only gave 4/5 stars cause I saw bugs flying around the hot food heating shelf. But still like this place for their cold drinks

    I enjoyed their iced egg coffee and their banh mi. I love a clean and sleek decor that is very bright and open. I came here twice as I work nearby. You can order at the register but both times I ordered from the kiosk. Their banh mi was filling w/ fresh meats and pickled vegetables which made a perfect lunch at your desk. Their egg coffee was creamy and delicious, wasn't strong to me though. Do not come here if you are on a time crunch because their banh mi takes a short while.

    Tasty and convenient banh mi in the Milpitas area. Decent portions but a little on the pricier side.

    2 Croffle 1 Dipping Cream (durian)
    William V.

    Location is kind of random, sharing with a gas station and car wash, but i like it! They have a very extensive menu, from viet/french pastries, banh mis, and drinks. ordering is super easy on a kiosk. For my first visit, i got 2 croffle with durian cream and a roasted rice milk tea. Croffle blew me away Croffle with durian cream 5/5: Ive been eating a lot of croffles and waffles lately, and omg the croffle here was DELICIOUS. It was MORE CROISSANT than waffle, whereas i feel like it's more common to get the opposite. It was buttery and flakey despite holding the shape and crispyness of a waffle. The cream they pair it with is the same cream for drinks, not like chantilly cream or something. I didnt enjoy the durian cream with the croffle, but it might be better with the other creams. I ended up pouring the durian cream into the roasted rice milk tea and it was *chefs kiss* Roasted rice milk tea 5/5 : i got less ice and 50% sweet and the roasted scent was so fragrant still. It was very refreshing yet had the delicious taste of browned rice grains. I added durian cream from my croffle and it worked out really well. I plan to go back to get their cheese rolls and pandan waffles as those looked pretty good as well.

    I ordered the Pandan Matcha and felt the drink was okay. Color of the matcha looked very promising, but the flavor comes off more floral to me, which makes me feel like the tea is more toward a green tea vs matcha. I also felt that the pandan foam had a great texture but flavor fell short and tasted pretty light. Overall the drink was alright, not the worst and not the best, but I didn't care too much for the flavor profile. Changing milk option is free of choice and price to size ratio felt fair. This spot is also attached to a Chevron, so it's pretty easy to access. Even though it is attached, it is very nice and aesthetic inside. Service was nice, drinks took a minute to come out but each matcha was hand whisked and made with care which I appreciate

    A new milk tea shop called Brew & Banh Mi Cafe takes over where Bayleaf Tea used to occupy next to the Chevron Market. The parking spots are few, so that makes the parking challenging. Remodeled and asthesticly pleasing and relaxing with cushioned seats and tables to relax at. The restroom is in the gas station market. The service was super friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what to get and he patiently explained some of the drinks that had banana and the type. The menu selection is quite large. Banana Ice Coffee Blended - a banana smoothie with banana cream foam with a shot of expresso. Yum! This was delicious and thick. Support your local business.

    Matcha latte with matcha cream
    Liz C.

    Brew & Banh Mi is connected to a gas station, but don't let that deter you from checking out all their drinks and food. I ordered their matcha latte with matcha cream, less sweet. It was a decent matcha, though the matcha could definitely be stronger. Matcha cream was smooth and added extra sweetness. I also tried their large grilled pork banh mi. Decent portion, and was filled enough. Wish there was more meat spread throughout the sandwich, but otherwise, there was a decent amount of filling. The cilantro and pickled veggies tasted good, as well as their bread. However, I wish there was either more mayo or pate spread as it felt a little on the dryer side. The banh mi did take a while to come out. I got my drink fist and probably waited roughly 15-20 minutes for the banh mi. The staff were friendly! Overall not the best, but also not bad. They have a variety of coffees and matchas so I might return to try more or possibly their pandan waffle!

    Drinks are very delicious and I love the eco-friendly mission. I brought my own re-usable cup and…read morewas able to get a discount. I wish more stores in the bay would do this. It makes it super worth the price too. Because I felt I was getting a higher quality drink for the same place as elsewhere (about 8$ with taxes) For location, it's inside of a bigger store, so don't get confused. Also if you're in a rush, they make the drinks per order and the matcha takes a while. You'll generally have to wait 10-15 minutes, so not great for a quick lunch stop during your break or something like that (that's when I initially went ). But I would definitely return when I have the time.

    Second visit to Orange Tabby, and the drinks are still the reason I'd come back. They're strong in…read morethe best way: you can actually taste the tea or matcha, and the citrus comes through bright and fruity. So far I've tried the yuzu, mango cloud, passion fruit, and hojicha brown sugar, and there wasn't a miss among them. Plenty of flexibility on sugar and ice levels too. The setting is a nice bonus. It shares a space with a small market, another café, and a food stall, so there's plenty to eat and browse. It's tucked in the back of the complex, which keeps it quiet and low-traffic, and there's plenty of seating. Parking is easy too, with a lot right there. The reason this isn't five stars is the cup system and how my return was handled. If you're staying in, you can borrow their cups for free, but for to-go you need to bring your own vessel or pay a $2 deposit on one of their jars, refunded when you return it. I get the idea, and it's nice for the planet, but in practice it's a hassle. When I brought my jar back on this visit, the staff member inspected every inch of it, then discussed it with a coworker right in front of me, who then said something along the lines of "we can't sell that, but it's okay, just take it." It wasn't said to me directly, but I was standing right there, and it felt uncomfortable. I'd run the jar through the dishwasher, nothing unusual, and friends who came in afterward returned theirs the same way with no issue at all. They also didn't apply the discount for bringing my own vessel until I asked. Between the pushback on the return and having to ask for the discount, it was a frustrating experience. Honestly, I'd rather a café just use compostable paper cups. Great drinks, but I'm on the fence about coming back.

The customer service was immaculate and is the heaviest reason I want to frequent and support this business. They were so kind and thoughtful and the place was spotless. 100% recommend checking the menu on their website for great pictures and details! Our order... Maui Blended Bowl $14 Horizon Layered Bowl $14 Adaptogenic Mushroom Toast $11/$14 Umami Melt $11/$14 ALL DELICIOUS. you can also make custom bowls. They have two kinds of salad for under $10, burgers that range from $12-14, and two kinds of pizza for under $15 each. Nothing felt heavy, and I still felt great after eating. I was full from the toast alone. Finished it up with the layered bowl later and I'm dying to have more already. Great option, good food, excellent service.

    I went on a Thursday between 2-4 p.m. and really enjoyed the space…read more Ambiance: The space is beautiful and bright, with large windows and high ceilings. It was very quiet during my visit, and conversations were kept to a minimum, which made it easy to concentrate. Even though it's located right across from a Caltrain station, I couldn't hear the trains at all. Parking & Accessibility: Parking was a breeze for me. I parked in the garage in one of the guest-reserved spots, and there's also street parking available. Since it's directly across from a Caltrain station, it's also easily accessible by public transportation. Seating: The café is connected to a leasing office, so be mindful of where you sit. The leasing agents do monitor the area and make sure café customers stay within the designated Coffeebar seating area. Drinks & Service: I ordered a loose-leaf tea and asked for it iced. The staff was warm and friendly, and as they handed me my drink, they said, "I hope you enjoy the tea." I really appreciate little details like that--it made the service feel more thoughtful and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely come back, especially when I need a quiet space to focus and get some deep work done.
