    Honeycomb Phin Drip Latte
    Kaylee T.

    I got the Wendy last time and it was too sweet for me. I got the Biscoff milk tea this time and I really like the foam however it is still too sweet and there's not much of a tea taste. I feel like there should be more options for sugar preferences. The honey garlic bagel was pretty good tastewise but it was a little too greasy and oily. The honeycomb phin drip coffee was pretty good but there's not much of a honey taste to it.

    Order at the kiosk
    Nin J.

    Cute little coffee shop with a great vibe and charming decor. Ordering is easy through the two kiosk, which makes the process quick and convenient. The only downside was the wait time. Our drinks came out well before our bagel, and the bagel took so long that we ended up asking about it twice before it finally placed on the counter. Thankfully, both the drinks and the bagel were pretty good once we got them. Seating inside is somewhat limited since the space is small, but there is outdoor seating available, which helps. Overall, a cozy spot with good coffee, and friendly vibes. Just be prepared for a little extra wait if you order food.

    Banana Coffee
    Kaho L.

    Really great new spot for all kinds of Asian coffee drinks! It's in a quiet area with plenty of parking. Very comfy but limited seating inside and free wifi, so could be a great place to work. Self service kiosks for convenient ordering, though there's only 2 of them. Where they really shine is their drinks, I've only tried their Banana Viet Coffee but it was really dang good, with lots of fresh banana flavor and could still taste the Vietnamese coffee. And their menu is huge! I'd suggest looking online ahead of time, otherwise you'll be scrolling their tablets for a long time. Lots of limited time and seasonal drinks too. It's really pretty nuts. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Great vibes. Decor is fancy. Lights above the counter and leather seats. Lots of seats. Staff is friendly. There are lots of workers and they answered all our questions. I got the banana coffee. Strong with a bit of sweetness. Wife got strawberry matcha which I would also recommend. The strawberry hits. If in the area I would com back

    Sweet Potato Fries
    Rachel L.

    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.

    Vietamericano
    Rakshit P.

    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.

    Garlic bagel
    Yasmeen E.

    I drove 35 minutes for the garlic bagel and it was worth it! However with these gas prices I can't justify coming by often but they know what they're doing with these bagels!! The drinks were okay, unremarkable for a nearly $8 milk tea I would only come back for the bagel.

    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! You order your drink on the kiosk and they have drinks for kids too. This place is nice to meet a friend for a drink or to hang out. The staff was friendly and perfectly made my drink! Plenty of parking spots!

    Pandan mikk tea
    Tam B.

    The staff accidentally made my order incorrectly today, but they quickly fixed it and let me keep the original drink to try. I really appreciate their excellent customer service and kindness. The milk tea was delicious, and I'll definitely return!

    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.

    Strawberry matcha
    Anny L.

    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!

    Thai-ra misu
    Fiona K.

    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.

    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

I decided to try the Tropical Trio ($5.75) which had kumquat, pineapple and strawberry in it. My hubby ordered the coconut smoothie ($6.00). There was one employee working and I asked her if she could make the drinks a little less sweet. She said she would. We looked for a place to sit and wait for our drinks.

Didn't really taste the lychee, it was a small hint and a very strong Chrysanthemum tea taste. I know I got 50% sweet, but the tea was so bitter and left like a weird after coating and I couldn't get myself to continue drinking the tea. Possibly other drinks taste better and maybe the foods as well, that I didn't try.

    I honestly don't understand how this place has accumulated so many 4 and 5 star reviews…read more This was my first visit, and unfortunately it will also be my last. I ordered a large Thai milk tea with honey boba and double espresso shots, along with an order of popcorn chicken. The total came to nearly $24, which would be easier to accept if the quality matched the price. The Thai milk tea, even at 75% sugar and with added double shots, tasted watered down and lacked the rich tea flavor I expected. The honey boba was equally disappointing, with little to no noticeable honey flavor despite being marketed as such. The popcorn chicken was crispy, but I specifically ordered mild seasoning and received something that was noticeably spicy. If you're sensitive to spice, be aware that their definition of "mild" may differ from yours. What disappointed me just as much as the food was the service. There were three young employees working behind the counter who appeared far more engaged in conversations with each other than interacting with customers. There was no greeting, no welcoming atmosphere, and no effort to explain or recommend items from their menu. For a first-time customer, the experience felt indifferent and uninterested. The gaming kiosk tables are unique and appear to be a major feature of the business. However, I left with the impression that much of what customers are paying for is the gaming setup rather than the quality of the food, drinks, or service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this location. There are many other boba shops and popcorn chicken spots that offer better flavor, better value, and better customer service at similar or lower prices. Given my visit, the numerous glowing reviews don't reflect the experience I received. I came in expecting a highly rated destination and left wondering if the ratings are based more on the gaming tables than the food and drinks themselves.

The donuts were made to order, and I still remember the two young employees who worked there. They'd happily let you know it might take a few minutes because they wanted you to experience the product the way it was meant to taste. That kind of pride in what you're serving is rare, and it made a real impression. There's something different about that kind of enthusiasm coming from employees versus an owner. An owner has an obvious stake in selling you on something, but when the people making your food are genuinely excited for you to try it, that energy is contagious. You can't help but feed off of it. Fast forward to this year. My daughter loves coming here since we frequently visit the amazing Chinese restaurant next door (China Delight-highly recommend), so I've brought her a few times. Unfortunately, it's been a different experience. The donuts are always pre-made, and the focus seems to be more on cleaning and closing down than on having a fresh product ready for customers. To be fair, the staff is always friendly and I do appreciate a clean shop , but when I'm choosing between a spotless floor and a donut worth eating, I'd rather have the latter. I'll note that I usually come a bit after dinnertime, so maybe timing plays a role. But after a few visits with the same result, it feels more like a shift in priorities than bad luck. I genuinely hope this place finds its way back to what made it great. The bones are there. The location is great, the staff is kind, and clearly there's a customer base that wants to love this place. Bring back the fresh donuts and you'll earn those stars back!!

They are pre-made and stored in a glass case, unlike other places like Modo Hawaii that make them when you order. The donuts come in a nice box. They are large and dense and chewy, but weren't to my taste as I like them smaller and lighter, but that's just a personal preference. I'm not sure if I will go back, but I hope they do well at the Cottle location.

Their coffee is really good; I particularly like their dine-in-only Phin drip cream-top coffee.

I also like their refreshers, though I would recommend the lower sweetness option, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha. Their food options are also appealing--their báhn mìs are quite good, but their pâté chauds were already sold out at ~12:30 PM, which was a little disappointing. I hope to try more of their food and snack options in the future. I would say that their prices range from being relatively reasonable (particularly for the food) to a little pricy (for some of the drinks). The quality varies, but is overall pretty good. It's also a good spot to study or work, as it has free Wifi and a number of electrical outlets, but it isn't open particularly late. Overall, I would definitely recommend you give this spot a try, particularly if you like good, strong coffee with a snack. The service is friendly and fast, the interior is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the bathroom is clean (though the paper towel dispenser was empty or broken today).
