    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

    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!

There's some general outside seating, but the the shop is too small to have indoor seating (I ended up waiting for my drink outside because it can hold about 2 people before it gets awkward). The service itself is great--ordering and receiving my drink happened quickly, and the drink I ordered came with an osmanthus syrup that I could definitely taste (there were bits of the osmanthus in the drink, which could be a plus or minus depending on personal preference). The matcha was fragrant, and I did enjoy my drink. I will say that it does err on the pricy side, at around $7-9 per drink. I liked my drink, but maybe not enough to justify the cost, especially considering there isn't any space to sit down and relax. Definitely worth a shot if you're interested in some of their more unique items, but probably not a regular stop, at least for me.
