Insomnibar is located in a shopping center with ample parking, never have trouble finding a spot. They have tablets to submit your own order or you can order with the cashier, if you prefer. The inside has a lot of seating and glamorous decor. They offer a variety of drinks; tea, coffee, matcha, foam toppings, jellies, etc. I generally order a regular Vietnamese latte and find that it is a tad lighter in coffee flavor than usual Vietnamese coffee, but good nonetheless. read more

Insomnibar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm always looking for good coffee shops and had been meaning to try this one. I placed my order using the self serving kiosk at the counter. We got the Vietamericano and Phin drip latte, both of which were really good. For food we got two breakfast bagel. Requested one without bacon. Service was a bit slow even though it was just us and another table. After about 10 mins I had to go nudge them for the bagels. When I finally received them, I saw both of them had bacon in it. They did make the bagel again but it took yet another 10 mins. Overall the bagels were very good specially with the Jalapeño cilantro aioli. read more

My friends and I ordered three large drinks: Banana Matcha Latte with Grass Jelly, Thai-Ra-Misu with Coffee Jelly, and a Biscoff Milk Tea. The Thai-Ra-Misu and Biscoff Milk Tea were both delicious, refreshing, and sweet. However, the Banana Matcha Latte was very watered down with a slightly artificial taste, more like flavored water than matcha. It reminded me of an iced matcha left out too long with melted ice, making it taste diluted. While matcha quality can vary depending on preparation and cost, this drink didn't feel worth the $9.25. I would return again, just not for the matcha. read more

Insomnibar - Banana Matcha Latte, Biscoff Milk Tea, and Thai-Ra-Misu (All Large) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow I wish I lived closer because this spot was so good! It completely took me by surprise, especially the food! We had the egg rolls, sweet potato fries, smiley potatoes, honey garlic bagel, pressed waffle w/ pandan & sea salt cream, and the ham & egg sandwich. When I tell you those smiley potatoes are actually so addicting to eat! Super well-seasoned and the perfect light crispy texture and soft potato inside. So good with their house ranch. The honey garlic bagel was also sooo yummy, along with their waffles and sweet potato fries. The cilantro sauce that the egg rolls came with was bomb. The sandwich was just okay to me but I dont really like egg salad. For drinks, we tried a whole bunch but we liked the thairamisu and the peach tea most! The coffees were actually really good and I don't like coffee, but the matchas were just okay (bit too milky). Service was 10/10; quick and super welcoming + attentive. The place actually does look like a bar; it's such a creative concept. They even shake up some drinks like they do at bars. I will definitely be back again if I'm in the area. read more

I was in the area and I stumbled upon this place. They had Vietnamese coffee and that got me wired ! I loved the taste and I definitely had the energy all day to be productive!

I've been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it on social media and I finally got the chance yesterday for a pop-up bag charm event! It is far south of SJ so I have to go kind of far but I am addicted now!! It's very worth the drive. I came back today and it's nice that they open pretty late even on Sundays. The cilantro jalapeno aioli is delicious! It makes all of their snacks 10x better. I usually see that sauce a lot in socal but not normally here. I love how there's a variety of snacks as well as a few sandwiches/bagels, and a lot of dessert options. The egg sando is very yummy and a good portion. The sweet potato fries also pair perfectly with the aioli sauce. The milk tea isn't anything crazy but it's still good! Ambience is nice and service is fast. There's a good amount of seating but it can get busy on Saturdays. Parking lot also has a lot of spots. read more

Saw this on an episode of Foodies First Feast and had to try it myself. Saturday afternoon was busy! We were able to order quickly on a kiosk but it would've been nice if they had physical menus so you're not scrolling through the kiosk when there is a line. We ordered the strawberry matcha, pandan milk tea, classic Viet coffee, Thai tea, black milk tea, and li hing mui soda. The pandan milk tea was fantastic! Great combo of milk tea and with a fragrant pandan flavor. Place was so busy it's hard to imagine it being a good spot for studying. Definitely great place for drinks. Service was quick and they were nice too. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the pandan series! read more

Insomnibar has become one of our favorite new spots in south SJ! They have such a great variety of drinks & snacks and are open till midnight which is awesome because so many coffee / tea places close early. The cafe itself has a decent amount of seating & is located in a plaza area with some other businesses so there's plenty of parking. Even though they've had a consistent flow of orders every time we've gone our drinks have been made pretty quick & they always taste amazing. My favorites are the strawberry cloud matcha, the Thai-ra-misu, & the dirty taro latte. I really love how many options there are bc no matter what I'm in the mood for the have something. read more

Overall: 3.5/5 I always pass by the plaza going home. I finally got curious and decided to try this place out. Inside is spacious and open, plenty seating indoors and outdoors. It had the dark but neon club aesthetic. I ordered on the kiosk where they had a variety of options (snacks and drinks) and a good selection of non-caffeinated drinks. Service was good (accommodating) and quick. Overall, I think the fruity drinks are sweet, milk teas are slightly watered down, and snacks are savory. Boba is also well-cooked, soft, and chewy. Drinks: - Roasted Oolong Milk Tea: you can definitely taste the roast but the tea is either subtle or watered down, honey boba saves it - Black Milk Tea: got it at 100% but it was not sweet, watered down - Pandan Honeydew: sweet, strong in honeydew, but can't taste the pandan - Thai-Ra-Misu: classic Thai tea - Strawberry Matcha: strawberry is subtle and giving Nesquik, can't taste much matcha - Peach Lemongrass Tea: sweet but refreshing, tastes like peach syrup, but I like how it actually has peach bits and jelly Food: - Smileys Mashed Potato Fries: soft and crispy, garlic seasoned - Cheese Tots: crispy, I recommend eating it right away for the desired cheese pull - Honey Garlic Bagel: sweet and savory bagel, cream cheese gave it a good balance, but it can be a but oily read more

This is a cute cafe in a small plaza. My favorite item was surprisingly the egg rolls which had a very tasty filling and paired perfectly with the cilantro sauce. The honey garlic bagel was a bit dense for my liking so I would pass on that. For drinks, we tried a few but my favorite was the pandan milk tea. read more

I have been passing this place on the way to Blossom Hill Road and decided to stop by to try out the tea. You can come here to meet up with friends, there's a fair amount of tea and coffee drinks, with flavors including pandan, matcha, lychee, etc. It has food choices and a good atmosphere, with music and nicely decorated interior. You can come meet up with friends or on a date or bring a laptop to do your work. It is not a big place, but it's a friendly place to come to relax. I'm definitely coming here again, there is plenty of parking. The drinks are amazing. read more

Was a decent place to grab a drink and have a nice environment to work in! Wifi was reliable and I had no issues for the whole ~2 hours I was here. The drink itself, however, was nothing too special in my opinion. I got an iced matcha latte with almond milk. There was a lot of ice in the cup, so it felt like there wasn't actually too much liquid in the cup (especially for the drink being a large size and over $8). I did appreciate that they were able to customize the drink to be unsweetened though. read more

Insomnibar - Matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Came to try out this spot since their concept is taking the process of making cocktails and different drink concoctions and transferring it to a boba shop which they did pretty well at. All their drinks are pretty nice in terms of presentation and taste. They also have some pretty good food options. The interior gives it an upscale bar vibe so definitely a good place to relax and chat. Service was quick and their food items in particular is fresh, even if it meant waiting a little longer. Drinks: Peach Lemon Grass Li Hing Mui Soda Blueberry Cloud Matcha Lychee Limeade Food: Garlic fries Egg rolls Pressed croissant (waffle one) Dirty Taro (rice crispy) My favorite drink would have to be the Peach Lemon Grass. Li Hing Mui would also be good, but it took me a while to warm up to it, but definitely one of my liked drinks as it a soda. Pressed croissant is my favorite food followed by the egg rolls since the egg rolls were hot and fresh. I do wish they gave maybe two servings of the croissant. read more

Unfortunately didn't live up to the previous reviews for me. We ordered banana coffee and a matcha with blueberry. The blueberry matcha was very milky and didn't taste much like matcha While the banana coffee was quite good, it had a subtle banana taste Both drinks were ordered with light ice, smaller size and were filled half up with ice. It was a cold winter morning and it would have been preferable if they listened and provided less drink if necessary to compensate read more

Loved the coconut silk tofu! It's just the right amount of sweetness, super soft, and they offer a smidge of coffee to pour into it too and I found that it pairs well! We tried the pressed croissant too. Great texture, great flavor on the pandan dip. But it was a litttle pricey, I think either $6.95 or $7.95 before tax? Other places serve similar items for $5-6. Otherwise enjoyed our visit here and would definitely come back! The staff was really kind and checked in to make sure everything was good. There's a few tables both inside and outside and lots of people were using it as a study spot it seemed. Oh! And they bumped great music too. read more

Such a nice place with an inventive menu and friendly staff! My bf and I came here to do work and ordered their honeycomb latte with almond milk and less sweetness. Orders are placed directly on the kiosk and then are made very quickly. There are a good amount of tables and outlets! Their menu is extensive with a variety of drink and food options. The wi-fi was fast and reliable. I would recommend! read more

Great spot for creative drinks and a chill hangout vibe. The Vietnamese coffee and matcha drinks are the highlights--rich, flavorful, and visually fun. Food is light (tots, bagels, pastries), so don't come hungry for a full meal. More of a drink lounge than a restaurant, but it does that job really well. Cozy, modern atmosphere makes it good for studying or casual meetups. Overall: solid stop for unique drinks, not a food destination. read more

Food 4/5 Drinks 3/5 Service 5/5 !!! Overall: Drinks are okay, but they shared they are always working on improving their menu items! However two drinks stood out that is a Must try: Thai-ramisu (strong tea and creamy tiramisu topping) & Li Hing Soda (Very refreshing and has that li hing from hawaii! I don't usually drink/like soda, but this was good!) Food was pretty good and better in comparison to the drinks for me! All the food was delicious, and for me, texture is everything. The waffle was crisp, but chewy and soft - the tiramisu dip was really good! Honey garlic bagel (inspired by korean bagels) was solid. BUT THE MOST SURPRISINGLY BEST THING: Silken Tofu (jiggle jiggle) with coconut sauce - hitting that Vietnamese taste palette Lucy,the owner, was so sweet and very personable - making the place very inviting and comfortable. I'll def be back for that Thai-ramisu and the food! read more

Highly recommend this new tea/coffee shop! I attended their grand opening last weekend which was a blast. They have a nice selection of different drinks to choose from creamy coffees to fruity refreshers. I love how unique their drinks are and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. I tend to like drinks less on the sweet side and they had no problem customizing it to my request. The shop itself is cute and chic which is totally my vibe. I got their dirty taro coffee which was so yummy and hit the spot for me. read more

I work near here so decided to check it out. Bonus for me is it is walkable distance. The interior is upscale but a little odd in it has 2 entrances from the side and the front. We ordered from kiosk that is on the side (door facing the parking lot) . Very limited seating so after ordering I ventured to other side to realize jt was the front because it had the cash register. Luckily, It was a nice day so we ended up waiting outside because not much standing room. This was around 1:30pm so it was packed. I got the potted coffee - the cream was nice and thick. Coffee super strong. Although I agree with other reviewers - It was pricey and I didn't even include any add-ons. The staff was friendly and service fast with decent size crowd. read more

I found this place on DD late at night a few weeks ago, and even though it is a 20 minute drive from my house and really out of the way, I never fail to go here at least twice a week. The service is great. The flavors of their coffee is phenomenal. The snacks they have are perfectly curated! I tried the house sauce and unfortunately I didn't love it, BUT the cilantro sauce truly is TO DIE FOR. The ambiance is great, and perfect for working, studying or catching up with friends! They even have a rewards system :) Also I love the fact that they're finding ways to give back to the community - this is truly what makes local restaurants and businesses so special! Glad to have them in the community read more

The inside was clean and had a few tables to sit at. The coffee I had was the Large Honeycomb Phin Drip Latte, it was delicious & had pieces of honeycomb on top that melted into the drink.

Great place all around for boba and for studying. I saw this place recently opened up in San Jose on TikTok and had to check it out. They have a great selection of drinks from coffee to matcha to banana milk, and it all looks really good and perfectly curated! I really like the inside of the shop as well. It's a dark interior with soft warm lighting and it makes a great place for studying as many students were getting work done by the tables. The first time I got the banana matcha and my boyfriend got the Thai tea/ tiramisu? and the banana latte. The second time I went, I got the Insomnia latte and it was sooo good! read more

I was in the south side area and was looking for a matcha spot (there's not too many) and found Insomnibar. New location by the looks of it. I ordered ahead on doordash for pick up. I got the banana matcha latte. It looks like they have a choice of regular, almond or oat milk but for the banana matcha latte it's banana milk only. My order was pretty much ready by the time I walked in. They have 2 kiosks to order from. Nice seating area inside for those who like a 3rd space to do some work or just hang out. The cups are unique and the staff is friendly. There's plenty of parking around. The reason I gave 4/5 stars is simply because I didn't love my drink. I liked it enough to finish it but it's not the best I've had and I probably wouldn't come back unless I was in the area. If I do come back I'll get the regular matcha latte. Again, my drink was fine; I just wasn't a fan. Others may like it. It's right in the middle of strong and sweet. The banana einspanner itself is decent read more

Not sure why this place has as many stars as they do maybe because it's the only drink spot in the area. But the price for the drinks are pretty pricey for average matcha and coffee to be honest. Random spot for the location. Ordered their banana matcha and it was alright nothing that I would say I'd come back for, also got a coffee drink I forgot the name already because it wasn't memorable. Also there windows are hella tinted so it looks like they are closed. The drinks take a while to come out even when there are barely any one there. No customer employee interactions they have a kiosk to order and have limited seating here as well. read more

I heard about Insomnibar from a friend who lives in the area and was looking to try it out for some time. It's located in a convenient plaza with plenty of parking. It has a very aesthetic interior with decent seating. The ladies at the counter were very sweet and friendly, and had great suggestions on what to choose. Since it was later in the evening, I decided to go with the Thai Tea Tiramisu, versus trying one of their Vietnamese coffees. Very strong Thai tea flavor, which was a plus for me, since I love a stronger tea profile. I'm looking forward to returning earlier in the morning so I can try some of their coffees. Overall, a super solid spot with great teas and very friendly staff. read more

I miss seeing the black and gold aesthetic in coffee shops and this one did it so beautifully. I walked in wasn't greeted by the cashier so I opted for using the tablet to place my order. I browsed around for a paper menu or a wall menu but found none. There is a QR code for the menu you can scan. While reading the description of drinks another person greeted me and let me know if I had questions to ask her. Initially I wanted to try the matcha but opted for the Insomnia Latte. I asked for it less sweet in the notes. Tap to pay and I went to take a seat. I enjoyed the decor and overall quiet ambiance of the place at the time of my visit. Music was playing in the background at a good sound level. There was someone set up working on their laptop. Not sure how loud and how busy the place gets throughout the day but when I came if you snagged one of the tables you could work in here comfortably. My drink didn't take too long to come out and the phin coffee is strong. One girl was making all theIt has flavor to it combined with the matcha. The matcha flavor is really overpowered by the coffee. A lot of ice in the drink as I poked the top with my straw and couldn't get it in because of the ice. The drinks are served the way milk drinks are served. Not sure if the drinks with foam are served this way and if they are I feel like you can't get the full flavor experience of the foam on a drink if you drink it through the straw. My drink was strong so I can't complain one bit. I came early so there was plenty of parking in this unassuming plaza. I didn't see the place at first and parked. The only reason I found it was because the side doors were wide open. The space is beautifully decorated and a breath of fresh air to the many coffee shops that open with a white and bare aesthetic. Bathroom was clean and even had a changing table. Comfy place to gather with the gang and enjoy a drink. Will need to come back and try the banana matcha from here. Hopefully I don't miss the front doors this time as this time the huge tree out front made me miss the signage. read more

I found this place through Yelp and it's a gem! There's lots of parking and a little random of a plaza but glad parking isn't a hassle. I agree with others, it's pricey but so are other places and with costs rising, I wasn't necessarily shocked that I paid $22 for 3 items. I do wish they had a few more options in the caffeine free/refreshers sections. I actually opted for the peach light brew in the kids section and it was delicious! I also got the honey garlic bagel and it was good! I do wish it had more cream cheese but it satisfied my craving. I also got the cheese tots with the cilantro jalapeño sauce and it was so good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. The cheese tots are like mini mozzarella sticks as described by others. Overall really nice place to check out. Staff was also really nice. read more

I was back in San Jose for the day. Ordered from Insomnia Bar in San Jose through DoorDash and chose pickup because they had a buy-one-get-one free deal such a steal. I got the taro milk tea, Thai tiramisu, and banana coffee ( not part of the deal), and wow... everything was amazing. The banana coffee is hands down the best I've ever had smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. You can really tell they care about quality. When I went in to pick up the order, the place itself was really nice inside clean, modern, and a great vibe. The people were really friendly and greeted me right away.

New cafe in the San Jose/Santa Teresa area! Upon walking in you're greeted with a warm scent of drinks and desserts. The interior is nice, gives a very lux feeling. Employees were nice and communicative. They offered us samples of drinks to try before ordering. We ordered the Thai-Ra-Misu, Berry matcha cloud, and Tiramisu matcha. The homemade jelly toppings were a delicious add on to each drink! (You get 2 free!) Drinks are not too overly sweet and they taste very in depth. My favorite was the Thai, it's a seasonal so go try before it's gone!! Will definitely be coming back! (They also offered free lactaids for anyone with an intolerance ) read more

I got the iced banana coffee and I'm very surprised at how the barista was able to get a 50-50 on the bitterness and sugar. Usually a coffee is a bit too sweet or too bitter, but this one was really balanced out. The service was fast and I like how on the ordering machine it had a little note saying that the bagel will take a bit longer. Took about 15 minutes for mine but very soft, very tasty. I will be coming back here. The ambience consists of a dark tinted neon yellow theme. Basically feels like a bar, but all coffee. read more

went here around 4:50 pm with my gf, not packed at all, started to pick up but pretty slow. they have kiosks one when you enter and one near another entrance where there is outside seating. the staff if very sweet, and asked if we he had any questions we can ask them, but the kiosk is pretty straightforward overall. we got: sweet potato fries - you can choose your sauce if you want but it dos cost an extra 50 cents or so for a special sauce, but they have ketchup when you pick up your order. but overall, the crispiness is great and is nice to expect out of a coffee shop. shrimp egg rolls - great! we got it with the jalapeño cilantro sauce and it was super good, again, very nice to expect out of a coffee shop lol blueberry matcha - honestly had coffee before we came here so i honestly didn't expect there matcha to be super good, it was decent, pretty sugary and more milky than an umami flavor. lychee dragonfruit tea - arguably probably my one of the best drinks from here, super good like flavor, not too sweet! great cafe to study or hangout! read more

It's not obvious looking at the entrance facing the parking lot whether or not they're open -- window tint's dark and reflective, and while there was a neon "open" sign, it wasn't turned on/lit. Ordered a dirty taro via kiosk -- there's no option to select ice or sweetness level, tho there's a text box at the bottom, so I tried to order light ice and half sweet. Apparently their taro items use pre-mixed taro so sweetness can't be adjusted, tho the gal did offer to put more milk in. I didn't want the taro flavor watered down so I declined. Definitely too sweet (and extremely purple). Would be nice if their menu clearly stated up front which drinks are customizable. Cute storefront, but overall experience makes the priciness not worth it. Instagramminess is definitely where this business excels. Will not return. read more

Came here curious to try the unique flavors! First off, in an odd plaza but lots of parking! Ordered on a kiosk and drinks took awhile to make although there were no orders ahead & 4 workers. Inside aesthetic was nice as there were a few desks for studying! For the drinks themselves, we all got less sweet but it was still on the sweet side in my opinion. The Thai Tea was definitely my favorite out of these 2 with a very nice thai authentic flavor. Still very sweet but it's amazing if you enjoy that! read more
