    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.

    I love Bánh Mì, so of course I had to check this place out. The cafe is small but has a cozy vibe, clean, with adequate seats for you to dine in. I ordered the grilled pork sandwich and Vietnamese coffee. I rate the sandwich 7.5/10. I like the crunchy bread without too much dough inside. The pork was good, but I think it would taste better if there is a little bit more seasoning or some type of sauce to add flavor to the sandwich. The coffee was good, not the best Viet coffee, but ok. There are so many bánh mì places in SJ and the bay area. This place is ok if you happen to be in the area and crave a bánh mì, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for it.

    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!

    Modern and light coffee spot in Milpitas! Even though they aren't a coffee roaster, the menu is huge - plenty of matcha and specialty brews with customizable sweetness. That egg iced coffee with the thick, eggy foam is a total winner. Mango matcha is another must try if you're not into coffee. Friendly baristas! Pro tip: Restrooms are located in the gas station market next door. But parking is limited as you have to share the parking space with the gas station.

    Pandan Coffee Latte
    Ethan A.

    So it's shared with a gas station which is a little confusing but inside, it's nicely decorated and gives off a cute cafe. The only thing is, I think the restroom is the gas station restroom. Parking is shared with the gas station. They have a wide array of different Asian flavors which is what drew me in and I would've got the blueberry matcha as that's always my go-to but I went with the pandan latte and it did not disappoint. It's different than a pandan cold foam as the flavor is mixed with the coffee and not sitting as a foam on top. Interactions with the staff are limited as I ordered on the kiosk, but they're friendly. Overall, if you're feeling Asian inspired drinks, go check them out!

    Vietnamese Coffee and Grass Jelly Latte
    Vivian T.

    Great for a study space, the wifi is relatively fast and the staff is great. I love this as a study spot!! However, I am a more bitter coffee fan. Grass jelly latte- Very sweet, granted I got regular sweetness. However, I got no condensed milk and an extra shot of expresso and it was still very sweet. Since it was sweet, I got an extra black iced coffee and mixed the drinks together, then the grass jelly latte was good for me. It had this nice basil/ tea touch to it with the grass jelly and was a strong coffee. If you like sweet coffee alone, then this is a hit for you. Vietnamese Coffee- Still sweet but holds that strong coffee after taste. If you like condensed milk, you'll definitely taste it.

    Banana Coffee Ice Blended & Red Velvet Foam Coffee
    Neha N.

    Tried this place on a whim and ordered via Uber Eats. I was in the mood for some strong coffee and wanted to try something new. I can't speak to the banh mi but my coffee was pretty good. I really enjoyed the red velvet foam coffee. Great flavor and strong coffee, the tastes were well balanced. I also tried the banana blended ice coffee drink. It did have really nice natural banana flavor but it was on the sweeter side and honestly I couldn't taste the coffee. It tasted like a banana milkshake. I'd definitely try some of their other foam coffee drinks!

    My order.. clearly stated that No Jalapenos

    Had a horrible experience because the sandwich crew did not remove the jalapeno from my sandwich. I noted this on my order as I can not handle spicy. OMG... I was miserable when I ate it. The sad part.. only Hamzel took responsibility. Gave me milk. And he's the drinks guy. His teammates didn't even bother to acknowledge their mistake. Disappointed with this as I love this place

    Located at the gas station :O Nice, clean, good amount of seating available! They offer a variety of drinks and food! I love me a good banh mi with my drinks :) Drinks can be a little on the sweeter side for me, so I would adjust it next time. My fav banh mi would be the cold cut combo or the all topping as they are loaded!! There is parking available around the gas station. I went a few times already. Friendly service! Be patient with them when ordering banh mis :)

    12/25/25 overall 4.5 stars for us! Came in on Christmas Day to check out the new chevron gas station hype! Ordered 4 drinks and 2 Banh Mi's. Mango Matcha Mango Passion Pineapple Sugarcane Passion Sugarcane Coconut #3 Pork Belly Banh Mi #7 All Topping Banh Mi There wasn't much of a greeting and for Christmas Day, they were fairly busy after we placed our order at 12:30! Self ordering kiosk. Banh Mi's were loaded. Jalapeños were spicy hot! Bread was soft with a light crunch. There seemed to be 2 workers avail in the front, I saw 1 in the back make an appearance here and there, it did take some time to get our order out. -1 Unable to adjust beverage sweetness/ice/etc. Drinks were all pretty sweet. Love the convenience of gas and a clean place for good eats and a variety of drinks! I have to come back and try the Vietnamese phin coffee's!!!

    I was hoping for more pork in the banh mi because I typically get more of this type of pork in other places. Although the flavor isn't bad (it's still delicious), I wish there was more meat, especially because of the cost (~$10, the tv menu is outdated).

    My second time here. Easy to park (you need to go to retailer parking or you can do street parking…read morewhich can be hard). Nice environment. Fast WiFi. Good music.

The shop is clean and stylish, and the drinks come in reusable glasses and mugs, rather than defaulting to plastic cups. There is not a dedicated parking lot (it is stationed beside an apartment complex), but there is some street parking available in easy walking distance. The servers are friendly and quick, and there is a wide but not overwhelming variety of drink (mostly coffee/espresso and some matcha) and food (cake slices, waffles, and dessert toasts) options available. You can also preorder whole cakes from them. The coffee is decent, but I find that $7 is a little steep for a latte that doesn't really stand out. I can sort of justify it by thinking that I'm also paying for the lovely space to work as well. The desserts are also a bit pricy, at around $10 per piece (and the pieces aren't huge). Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a place to sit down for a while to read, study, or relax, despite the somewhat pricy menu.

For such a small space, they really knocked it out of the park when it came to the overall vibe and aesthetic. It's the perfect girly café to surprise someone with on a date or simply to catch up with a few girlfriends. We ordered the strawberry matcha and banana matcha, and the drinks are a great bang for your buck considering how large they are--my husband and I honestly could've shared one. The strawberry matcha had a pleasant, jammy fruit flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. I was especially impressed by the banana matcha, which is made with fresh bananas. You could really taste the difference, and thankfully, it didn't have that artificial banana flavor at all. The matcha itself is fairly standard in terms of quality, so I think their flavored drinks are where this place really shines. If you're a matcha purist looking for something more ceremonial or matcha-forward, this probably wouldn't be my first pick. But if you're in the mood for a fun, flavorful matcha drink in an incredibly cute setting, this place absolutely delivers. For what they're going for, it's an easy 5/5 for me. The portions are generous, the flavored matchas are tasty, and the beautiful interior makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty drinks!

    Saw this place on DoorDash with a discount, so we were excited to finally give it a try. We ordered…read morethe Strawberry Marble and Brûlée Swirl. Even with the discount, I thought the drinks were still a bit on the pricey side. When I arrived to pick up our order, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The place is really cute and inviting and definitely has the kind of ambiance that makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your drink there. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay since I had to bring the other drink home to my daughter. I tried my drink and it wasn't bad, but I didn't love it either. I actually really wanted to love it because I liked the atmosphere so much and would have enjoyed coming back to hang out there. When I got home, my daughter tried hers and said it was just okay. She didn't even finish it, which pretty much summed up how we both felt about the drinks. Cute place with a really nice ambiance, but unfortunately the drinks just weren't for us, especially for the price. Probably won't be back.

    This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever visited…read more First, I had no idea what was going on today. I heard Cat Cafe but thought it would be a cafe and there would be some cats in a window. This is fully play time with a group of sweet adorable cats! We had so much fun! The cats are mostly relaxing with a few playing and doing funny cat things. The usual. Leaping around, looking for stuffed fish and trying to surprise each other. I have an idea that instead of going to see a therapist, go see the cats!! We were so tired when we got there. A cup of the most delicious coffee in the world also happens to be prepared at this magical place!! i had a warm cookie butter coffee and it was amazing!!! I got a taste of other flavors and they were unbelievable!! Truly the best coffee I've ever had. We had a long day and the cup of coffee in hand you get to sit in a two story area with the most joyful innocent creatures. They just want to make friends and learn how to make someone happy. This is good for everyone. By the time we left, we were smiling, relaxed and very happy. If you get a chance, please make a reservation for some wonderful cat affection. They don't care how your hair is cut or what shoes you're wearing. They are nice warm animals and to have a lovely cat for some affection is one of life's most wonderful pleasures. I've got a few friends who could really benefit from an hour with a beautiful ball of sweetness. Highly recommend.
