I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink. Would get again. For the eggspresso hanoi, honestly this is what I get almost every time I come here. Always get the 50% sweetness with less ice. Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

I make my own viet coffee with crema at home but alas!!! Along comes Lacáphê !! It's usually super busy and I get overstimulated so I typically grab my drink and go.

Preordering is clutch and crucial. egg coffee is perhaps my all time favorite. 50% sweetness, normal amount of ice. the perfect blend.

This place serves truly authentic local-style food, with flavors that are hard to find anywhere else. The prices are affordable, the food is high quality, and the service is excellent. Honestly, there is nothing to complain about! And now they also have fresh, pure fruit juices. I tried them today, and just like I said about the food: absolutely excellent! Definitely a place you should try at least once. Highly recommended!

Both has tasty broth, lots of toppings, and I really like all the extra onion pickles and sauces on the table. The servers were very nice and friendly, I feel like home meal, like my aunts feeding me. They offer hot ginger tea, turn on heat when I said I was cold, and keep checking on me. I didn't order drinks, will definitely come back for other dishes and drink.

My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. 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!!

There is a bench-like tables with stools and 3 yellow tables for seating. There was limited street parking. Quick and friendly service - basic "what can I get you?" and no convo. I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50

I'll definitely be back.

We visited Aroma before noon on a Saturday and it was already pretty busy. The parking lot was also…read morequite packed, so parking can be a little hectic. We ordered the Jasmine Matcha, and unfortunately it was a miss for me. The best way I can describe the flavor is like the last few sips of a watered-down Matcha Einspanner. The matcha flavor felt diluted, and I've had much better versions of a Jasmine Matcha elsewhere. I think a stronger matcha flavor and better balance between the jasmine and matcha would have made the drink much more enjoyable. I'm not sure if it was just the drink we chose, so I'd still give Aroma another try and order a different Matcha Latte next time.

Surprisingly the space was pretty empty and we got a signature banana tiramisu latte and the custard cloud latte to try Loved both drinks, especially the banana tiramisu which was rich and creamy with the banana cream top without feeling too sweet or heavy. The viet coffee they use is pretty strong and does well to cut through the creaminess of the milk and cream top. The custard cloud was on the sweeter side but I really enjoyed the eggy top which had a lot of flavor as well. Such a great coffee pop up and I'll have to try the matcha next time! They also sell the cutest matcha bowls!

The strawberry flavor tasted natural and not artificial at all, which was a huge plus. My friends also got the Tiramisu Latte and the Pandan Green Tea & everyone enjoyed it yippeee!

And why wouldn't they come here when the iced coffee drinks are served like a cocktail and, forgive me for using this term, but it's 'Super Cute'. My suggestion is 'relax, dine in, enjoy the vibes'. It's a lovely place to spend a little time and regroup or decompress or what have you. We all need a 'cwoffee' and a bit of cuteness on a daily when life seems crazy. Have some of the toast options like the one I tried with the ricotta cheese, blueberry and a wildflower honey drizzle ..... "divine, girls. Just divine." The plaza it's located in is a bit of struggle to find parking but once you do ... you won't regret the experience. Enjoy!

Nice little Cafe off of Almaden Expressway in a small shopping center…read more Came on a Friday morning before picking up my bib for a race and it was busy. They have small indoor seating, but very spacious outdoor seating. This place has a nice vibe to it. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious. They enhanced the sandwich using midwife baker brioche and adding caramelized onions. Very flavorful and had the right amount of cheese to onions ratio. Also got a iced cafe miel ( Honey, cinnamon, double shot of espresso with oat milk, but I used whole milk). Not too strong or sweet. Overall nice cafe spot with some breakfast sandwiches or burrito.
