    I came here specifically to try their slim bánh mì sandwiches and ordered four (three pâté with chả lụa and one combo), along with a dozen mini beignets. After paying at the kiosk, a staff member came out a few minutes later to let me know they only had enough slim bread for two sandwiches. At the counter, I was offered the option to switch the remaining two to regular bánh mì, along with a $1 refund. The refund calculation was wrong, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it and accepted it. On the bright side, the slim bánh mì were excellent, so it was disappointing they only had two available. Unfortunately, the regular bánh mì didn't live up to the same standard and weren't enjoyable. The mini beignets, however, were a highlight, they were soft, pillowy, and absolutely delicious.

    Friendly service and very open seating inside. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so the Tully location is better if you want more space / no issues finding parking. The general area at this location, being near Walmart and Vietnam Town makes it a very busy area. Ordered the Ube coffee and salt coffee. Both are very good and I think the coffee is quite strong, not as sweet as other spots with Vietnamese iced coffee. It feels like they put less condensed milk, which I appreciate because I like that hit of coffee taste. Definitely my go to spot whenever I'm around the area and in need of cafe sua da. They also serve food here and sell a thin version of banh mi called banh mi que. It's about $5 and a good snack if you're in a pinch and don't want a whole sandwich to eat.

    The drinks are nice, but the service could be better. Review is for Cafes Quan 2 location near Walmart. Milk texture is amazing, and place has nice AC and ventilation. Barista forgot to put Boba in my drink and had to ask to remake drink. This was in a Wednesday night. Picture is Peach Milk Tea.

    Came here at 9:22, says they're open at 9:00, doors are locked. Now I have to drive all the way to the Tully location. Not a good first impression!

    This is the newest Cafes Quan location to open up. Nestled off of Story Rd, CQ took over the location where Bobo Drinks used to be. The drinks menu itself is pretty spot-on to the Lion Plaza location but the snacks differ. You will not find any macarons here but instead they carry croc shaped waffles filled with cheese [no other flavor offerings are available]. Purchases: *Croc Waffles [pair] * BANH MI QUE CO COMBINATION SPECIAL * Coconut Coffee * Egg Coffee The young lady handling the ordering and register was nice. The unfortunate part was her not speaking English too well so there was a bit of a mishap when we placed our order- our order for a CQ coconut milk coffee with jelly ended up being a coconut coffee. Lmao. No apology, no offering to remake the drink, she just responded with: "this is what you ordered" Insert the WTF EMOJI FACE. Good: The coconut coffee [not what we initially wanted or ordered] and the egg coffee was great. These tasted exactly just like the Lion Plaza CQ. Bad: The crocs waffles are trash- the batter was not remotely sweet and the cheese center was super skimp. The powdered sugar provided with it could not salvage the taste and we had to grab our condense milk and dunk each bite. Even with that attempt, we couldn't even finish one shoe. Don't waste your money on this. The Banh mi wasn't much better. This was the first time I ever tried this item and let me tell you how disappointed I was to receive bread that tasted stale and old. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a real Banh mi elsewhere if this is what you're craving. 3 stars and I feel like that's me being kind. Not sure if I'd come back to this location, I think I'd prefer the original Cafes Quan. Meh.

    Drinks here are SOO good!! My friend and I got the pandan latte and salted coffee. The barista recommended 50% sweet and 100% sweet for those drinks respectively and we got 50 for both but we should've listened to her LOL. Pandan was a good amt of sweetness but the salted coffee was bitter at 75% sweet. The barista knew what she was talking about so take their recommendation. Place was clean but it was also cold and the music was SOO loud so we went to our car.. They also had these cool croc waffles .. we didn't order them but i've never seen anything like that Id want to come back and try those and the CQ coffee!

    Banana Matcha

    Stumble upon this place since it was near where we were having lunch. Ordered the banana matcha, although it looked pretty, it was lacking that deep matcha taste and could also use more banana flavor. We also ordered the beignets, and made the mistake of ordering the 6 pack thinking the size of the beignets would be small... they were not, they were huge. However, we finished all 6. Delicious. I would comeback just for the beignets.

    We tried this newer loc and this one is more spacious than the other location to me. The decor was cute inside and they even had some decor outside too. Service was fine and drinks didn't take too long after ordering. We tried the pandan coffee and one of the new drink- crème brûlée matcha. The crème brûlée matcha was too sweet and was just okay to me. My husband had the pandan coffee and liked it and says the coffee is strong the way he likes. Cute decor inside overall and will try other drinks next time.

    Sea Salt Green Tea

    This used to be Bobo drinks but now it's a second location of Cafes Quan just off of Story Rd. Same ownership, just rebranded. If you know you know, this cafe is owned by the famous Vietnamese singer Dan Truong. Met his wife the other day here at Cafes Quan and she was super friendly and sweet while we were deciding what to order. I went with the sea salt green tea which was an amazing decision. The green tea was fragrant and perfectly contrasted the sea salt cream on top. The cups are a bit small here, I'm assuming it is because they specialize in coffee but I wish there were bigger sizes! Shop is honestly massive with tons of seating. It's a complete transformation of what Bobo drinks used to look like. Cafes Quan is an underrated spot worth checking out and deserves more recognition.

    Sea salt green tea

    Nice service and does the job for a quick coffee or tea and bathroom break. I stopped by for the loo and had a seas salt green tea as well. It was alright although I forgot to ask to adjust the overly sweet drink. I was disappointed that matcha was not an option, as with many cafes nowadays. However, coffee did seem to be the specialty here!

    The hair that came out of the first boba pearl
    Muulen B.

    Oh my goodness this was one of THE worst experiences I've ever had with food. I came tonight to grab some boba and try the sate squid. We got everything to go and it was $30 for 2 milk teas and the sate squid. First of all the bobas tasted so old and just atrocious, I got a strawberry milk tea and a mango milk tea with boba. The teas both tasted like those cocktail syrups and nothing like the fruit at all. The cashier lady also upgraded both of our drinks without even letting us know or asking and we saw it at the last second on the screen that it was upgraded to a large for a dollar more or so, but that doesn't even matter it would've been nice to get a headsup but after trying the food and drinks I'm pissed. The squid tasted like dish soap, I don't know if it was the dishes they used or what but it wasn't just a little it tasted way too strongly of dish soap that it wasn't genuinely inedible. The bobas were bad okay no big deal but we also found a strand of hair INSIDE THE PEARLS and not even one there was atleast 2 so we threw everything out. OVERALL A TERRIBLE PLACE FOR PROBABLY ANYTHING DON'T COME HERE ITS DISGUSTING.

    I am a picky person for boba stores, so finding this place is a goldmine (not really, can't think…read moreof a word). I like that the menu features drinks I have never seen before, like the Jasmine Green Rice, Traditional Purple Rice, and Cacao Thai. For the rice drinks, they use a Vietnamese rice called "soi", and it is a delicious ingredient with the coconut milk (non-caffeinated version. I am currently ordering the Jasmine Green Rice and Cacao Thai, so I hope it will be good. Be prepared to wait because they usually have one or two people being the cashier and making drinks. I hate it when the owner(s) don't hire more people when the worker(s) is struggling so hard. If you see this, hire more people and pay them a good wage. Stop being cheap. Treat your workers the way they deserved it. There's also multiple parking lots because this is in a strip mall. Ambiance is good. I am Asian, so I don't care about ambiance. Here it is the review though lmao.

The bits got stuck in the straw, and I spent a lot of time removing the seeds, though. Grab a spoon with the drink. The shop was very clean with lots of comfortable places to sit.

    Found my favorite childhood snack, mixed rice paper at Moc Delights--a fancier version of what I…read moreused to have in Vietnam. I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!
