    I had heard good things about Cafe Mei, especially as a typical Taiwanese sandwich spot, so I came in with pretty solid expectations. The sandwiches themselves were decent--nothing bad about the taste--but nothing that really stood out either. What really brought the experience down for me was the price. We paid around $30 for three sandwiches, and honestly, it just didn't feel worth it. It's the kind of food that feels like something you could easily make at home for a fraction of the cost. Overall, it's not terrible, but for the price and the hype, I don't see myself coming back. Just didn't feel like good value in my opinion.

    Ordered the toasted signature pork sandwich, taro pork sung sandwich and hot soy milk 25% sweet. Enjoyed everything we ordered. It's a small cafe nothing fancy service was quick staff was friendly. They have free WiFi. There's one kiosk to self order to the left as soon you walk in and one in front of the door where a staff will take your order.

    Cute cafe with simple tasty sandwiches. I got the specialty sandwich, which was well executed, and got hot soy milk on the side. I ordered from a kiosk next to the entrance inside.

    My main problem with cafe mei is that I can't justify spending money on food this small and simple. To add on, the seating area feels simple and cheap, not somewhere I would want to stay for long. Their food isn't bad. The area isn't bad. But that's all that I can say. I'd almost rather make these types of sandwiches at home.

    Came here around 930am on a Saturday the line moved fast. Loved the food! You essentially order and seat yourself. I was surprised by how many people there were that moved in and out for such a small cafe. Here's what I got(: Toasted signature pork sandwich: 10/10 this was so tasty. I loved the thinly sliced onion Pork Sung Crepe: 9/10 good texture and came with a nice dipping sauce that was garlicky and sweet Soy milk black tea: 10/10 I got this at 25% sweet and they really mean it! lol I'd probably get it at 50% next time

    Omg can there be another Cafe Mei closer to me! Insert sad emoji here. Ever since I tried a Taro + Pork Floss sandwich at a boba place that is no closer, I have been on a hunt. Thank you Yelp for letting me find this spot, because I keep coming back for more! This Taiwanese cafe is located in a plaza full of other shops and restaurants so there are definitely a lot of choices, but if you're looking for something light and convenient, definitely check out Cafe Mei. They have plenty of seating inside and parking isn't too bad. However, do they get really busy so I suggest you place an online order in case you don't have the time to wait. Their Taro Pork Sung sandwich is everything you expect for the name. The texture and flavors really balance each other out; especially being in between soft bread. I love the light sweet, starchy taste from the Taro and the crunchy, flavorful pork floss together. It's a flavor combination that definitely gets my taste buds dancing! I also tried their Corn Chowder soup and that was delicious. It's comforting and a perfect soup for those upcoming cold days. They also offer drinks and other sandwiches and savory crepes, but if there is one thing I highly recommend, it is their Taro Pork Sung Sandwich!!!

    Stopped by here for food after being in Fremont for some tasks. I was craving Taiwanese breakfast and loved how conveniently located this place is! I got the toasted signature pork sandwich, corn & tuna & bacon crepe, and an iced soy milk. I loved all the layers and the sauce of the signature sandwich. Every mouthful was a delight! I think the flavors are a perfect combination and are sandwiched wonderfully between the soft white bread! I sometimes struggle with eating a full sandwich, but I ate every bite of this one because it was so good I couldn't stop until I was all out. I ate the crepe the next day so it wasn't as fresh, and I didn't like it as much (I think tuna is not my favorite in general). I had the soy milk along with the sandwich, and wowwwww. Not too sweet, just the right amount of cold, and rich soy milk goodness. Trying to make additional plans in the Fremont area so I can come back here for breakfast There's a good amount of seating inside, but you can order to dine in or take out. There's both a kiosk to order at as well as a cashier to take your order.

    Classic Taiwanese breakfast! There aren't many places that serve these in the states, so I'm thankful this place is open. The Egg Crepe with Corn, Tuna, and Bacon is snack sized. It's already cut into slices, so it's easier to eat. Every bite had all the fillings + green onions. Never had this combination of fillings before and it was a fun experience. It was lightly salted that paired well with the stronger flavors in the dipping sauce, which was garlicky, sweet, and tangy. Toasted Signature Pork Sandwich - 3 layers of fillings between 4 slices of bread. It had pork, ham, egg, cucumber, tomato, onion, and mayo. The meats are savory and juicy, especially the pork patty. The veggies are so fresh and the mayo brings everything together. The bread is well toasted, not soggy at all, and held all the fillings firmly. All crusts are cut off and the entire sandwich is cut in half for easier eating too - much appreciated. The breakfast items were not too heavy, but still filling. The Black Pepper Noodle with Egg is teppan style, which reminds me of the night markets with hot sizzling metal plates. It has minced pork, mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic, and black pepper sauce. The mouth-watering sauce is so savory and fragrant. Lots of black pepper, can really taste and see it. I love how saucy this dish is and the noodles really soaked up the flavor well. Definitely get the extra fried egg on top, it's part of the classic experience. HUGE portion size, ended up splitting it into 3 meals (no complaints here!). Iced Milk Tea. I got the larger size 20oz/700cc (smaller size is 16oz/500cc). You can also make additional customizations for the sugar and ice levels. Mines was 50% sugar, no ice. Perfect amount of sweetness to me where you can still taste the tea more. It had good strength, not watered down. Super refreshing after a hot meal. You also get a $0.50 discount on the drink with a meal order. Great menu selections, website was easy to navigate. Convenient to place an order online and pickup. Fast service, everything was ready when we arrived. Takeout containers have cute stickers. They have cozy and trendy vibes with authentic flavors. Really makes me miss the tastes of Taiwan!

    Whenever I visit Fremont, Cafe Mei is always in my mind when it comes to breakfast options. Their Taiwanese breakfast sandwiches simply can't be beat. I'm honestly a bit shocked there are no other Taiwanese breakfast sandwich options in the entire Bay Area -- not one! I've tried a handful of their sandwiches, but the one I keep coming back to is the taro and pork floss sandwich. This is one of their larger, more expensive sandwiches, but I love the contrast of the salty pork floss with the smooth, more muted flavor of the taro filling. The squared-off, fluffy slices of white bread used for all their sandwiches are best enjoyed un-toasted in my opinion. Lastly, I also love that you can customize any of their drink options. Their hot, sugarless milk tea is the perfect option for anyone not looking for a sugar rush for breakfast. Definitely recommend trying out Cafe Mei if you're in the area.

    Plenty of parking in the lot. Fair amount of indoor seating. Clean interior. Service was speedy and extremely friendly! Prices were very reasonable. We shared the togo signature sandwich, radish cake, pork sung crepe, and black pepper teppan noodle. The sandwich was pretty solid, I liked the soft fluffy bread and the fact that was it was very light. Radish cake was pretty standard and came with a garlic dipping sauce. Pork sung crepe was pretty good and also came with a garlic dipping sauce. The black pepper teppan noodles were probably my favorite! Noodles had good texture and dish overall had good flavor. Would come back - the food was super comforting and not too heavy!

    What a HIDEEN GEM!!! Which genius came up with this idea, slapping Taro & Pork Sung together on a sandwich!?! I can totally eat like 5 of these by myself, hahaha (okay, realistically speaking, maybe 2!) Their Toasted Signature Pork Sandwich is also good! However, I would have much preferred the soft toast instead of the toasted one. I'll definitely return for more and explore the other delicacies!~

    Authentic Taiwanese Breakfast finally can claim its "the best Taiwanese Food" in California (Sorry the one in Tustin CA doesn't beat this). They have simple menu unlike other Asian ethnic restaurants that tried to serve everything yet screwed everything, they are just focusing on one thing, delivering traditional Taiwanese breakfast experience here. Taiwanese grilled egg sandwiches, hamburgers, and egg cakes with pork sung. It may seem pricey when compared with the prices that they charged in Taiwan, however, this is Silicon valley and the quality of the ingredients that they served is quite justifiable for the price. Service is excellent too, thanks for the store manager May took good care of me makes me felt like I am eating at the local Taiwanese breakfast shop

The restaurant itself is in a nice plaza with plenty of parking, the restaurant is clean and looks like they had bar seating as well. On their special menu they had their strawberry matcha which I'm already a fan of, but this strawberry matcha is my favorite in all the area so far. The avocado toast was also very good, the red onion on top paired well with the avocado and cherry tomato, the fact it came with 2 eggs as well also justifies it as a meal in itself. I also ordered the half order or at this restaurant "fun" size I think Is what it said on the menu, of the tres leches French toast. It's also my favorite French toast because it's not overly sweet like some other tres leches' that I've had, the strawberries tasted very fresh too. The side sausage and bacon were good also however, the side link sausage it's not as greasy or salty as other places which I enjoyed a lot, because although it seems like hearty food it didn't feel heavy at all. Hope that Breeze Cafe stays around, bring everyone here. TLDR; awesome food, great service, try the strawberry matcha, and tres leches French toast

Both the lavender and honey were prominent, it was a good balance of flavors. I had taken a few sips after receiving the drink and then didn't drink it again until after all the ice had melted, and it didn't even taste super watered down. A lot of reviews mention parking in Apna Mandi's parking lot behind the cafe. However, the spots in that lot closest to the coffee shop have bright red signs saying "No Coffee Shop Parking" and that violators will be towed. I ended up following one of the reviews and parked in the Safeway plaza across the street. It would be nice if Hops & Beans clarified whether or not customers actually allowed to park in the lot behind the cafe, or any alternatives.

The parking lot is small and hard to get into but there is street parking. Review is for their breakfast, I love how they are open at 7am, it's perfect for early risers like our family. The remodeled bank is really nice and there are fun areas on both stories to explore. The windows and old bank architecture are particularly nice and you get really nice lighting throughout the day. Will be back to try their pizza based on how good the breakfast was. Breakfast Burrito: Probably the best we've had in our area. This is our taste but we don't like them too big. Avocado, eggs, sausage, and potato wrapped in a thin tortilla. The salsa this came with was excellent. My wife and I actually split this and it was perfect portions for us. Coffee: Cappuccino and Halo Beriti Pour over. You can see their timers and equipment so you know you are in for a nice cup of coffee. The only ding here is I actually asked for a flat white and the person working that day said it was the same thing as a cappucino. The cappucino was so good I was fine but I do like more coffee taste than milk which is why I asked for a flat white. Pancakes: Very well made with apple and whip cream topping, the kids ate way more of this than we thought they would. Yogurt: With granola, blood oranges, and pomegranate.
