I had been hearing a lot about this place and finally got a chance to try it, last time I stopped by, I didn't realize they were closed on Monday! I asked for a Creme Brulee Viet coffee, and my coworker stopped by to grab one for me. He said the place wasn't too packed when he went, and the service was quick. I looked at the coffee and thought it looked pretty good already, mixed it up a bit, and took a sip, and wow, what a combo of the Creme Brulee with the jolt of the Vietnamese Coffee. I enjoyed the flavors that it brought and wish I had finished this earlier in the day, rather than later in the afternoon. Truth be told, I had a harder time sleeping that night than when I normally have my regular cup of coffee ;D. read more

Such a cute cafe near SFSU, when I went parking was easy to find. Going into the Cafe it's super easy to order, drinks are made per order but service is quick. It's a nice place to sip on some matcha and chill, I was there for a quick break before heading out to the city. Great pick me up and the banana matcha had a natural banana flavor! I know some places can taste a bit artificial and I didn't taste that here. I also like the option to add an extra matcha shot to make it stronger. I totally want to visit again when I'm down in the city again. read more

Being a campus type of business that caters to mainly college students, the boba was decent. Not the best but not the worst. I like how transparent they are when it comes to how many grams of matcha is used per drink. Lots of seating and parking can be hit or miss. service was really great and interior settings was dark but pleasant. read more

A cute little cafe located right next to SFSU that has both coffee and matcha for everyone. I've tried them through DoorDash and going in person and I can say their drink quality stays the same for both. Unfortunately, the last time I went I felt like the matcha taste was too strong for my liking but my wife loves their drinks. Drinks come out fast and the baristas are super nice. If I need a quick pick me up this place would definitely be up for consideration read more

Jade & Java Cafe - Banana cream matcha, creme brûlée matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was looking for Vietnamese inspired coffee like Da Vien in SoCal and stumbled across Jade and Java. What drew me was the banana and sesame Vietnamese coffee, which isn't something sold at most coffee and boba shops in the peninsula. Ordered the pistachio and sesame Vietnamese coffee. The coffee is strong! Can customize ice and sweetness levels too. Parking can be a bit tight as the lot is shared among many other shops and it's in the middle of Park Merced so can be a bit difficult to find. Ordering was a breeze and if you have Snackpass, you can earn rewards by continuing to shop there. At 7-7.50 a drink, it's about in line with other boba/drinks now so I think it's good value. Especially bc the coffee is strong! Will come back to try other coffees and their matcha drinks too. Matcha drinks look to be handmade upon ordering (not mass produced ahead of time, which is nice to see) read more

I've tried their drinks multiple times, but it's my first time visiting their actual location. I really really love their matcha here. The ratio of matcha to the other ingredients is perfectly curated to my taste. It doesn't taste like grass LOL. The banana cream matcha is mt favorite. Nothing too special with the ambiance inside. Overall, this is one of my go-to matcha spots. read more

Amazing drinks and service! The flavors of their drinks really sets them aside from other tea places. I am a huge fan of the pistachio matcha latte. The perfect balance of sweet and slightly bitter. read more

Cute little cafe with a kiosk self ordering system First time coming to try them out and both my friend and I ordered the banana latte and another drink. The banana latte was absolutely AMAZING. I'm sure they use real bananas when making the milk that goes into it. It was delicious and worth a second trip! I ordered the cocomango (I think that's what it was called) and brought it home to enjoy later. Of course... amazing as well I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area to come visit. read more

Jade & Java Cafe - Banana Latte Match Coco mango with Mango stars - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Very cute little coffee shop near the SFSU campus, and open late, until 7 PM! They specialize in Vietnamese coffee and matcha drinks with unique cream toppings, and also have some fruit tea options. You order at one of two kiosks in the front. There are small tables and a bench for seating, and a bathroom in the back. I could see this being a nice place to catch up with friends over drinks! I got a banana cream matcha with oat milk ($0.80) and an extra shot of matcha ($3). Everyone else got Vietnamese coffee and between all of us we tried the salted cream, banana cream, and black sesame cream coffees. I loved my matcha and the banana cream had such strong banana flavor. I'm not sure if I would've liked it as much without the additional shot of matcha, but I'll have to try it next time. I also thought it was a pretty reasonable price for a matcha latte, starting at $7.25 - some places are getting up to $10+. I'm not a coffee person, but heard that the coffees were strong and flavorful. Seems like a really nice addition to the area, especially for students. Would be even better if they could partner with a local bakery to offer some pastries, and a few more non-caffeinated options since there's only one on the current menu. read more

Ordered a matcha with a banana cream topping. It was pretty tasty - I haven't had too many like this so I don't have a ton of comparisons, but I would come back for another. Service was friendly and they have a nice clean bathroom. Located in a strip mall close to SFSU so lots of parking. read more

I really enjoyed their sea salt Vietnamese coffee (ca phe muoi). I have been looking for this since coming back from my Vietnam trip. It's easily found in Orange County; less of a common offering in SF Bay Area, so I was happy to see that this place had it. I got one with less ice and regular sweetness, which I thought was too sweet but was better after the ice melted a bit. I also got one no ice and less sweet and I added some milk when I got home to thin out the strong coffee a bit. However, this sacrifices on the salted flavor. I think my ideal would be regular sweet and regular ice as intended. We also tried their creme brulee matcha which was fine. Not a super strong matcha flavor and leaned more watery than creamy. It would appease if you had a craving for a matcha latte though. Could not really make out the creme brulee flavor so I would maybe just do a regular matcha latte or another one of their flavored matcha drinks. This is located near SF state. There is a parking lot available. Somewhat limited seating, but I'm not sure how busy they get. read more

Such a cute cafe along the string of other stores in a plaza! I ordered the Banana Matcha Latte which was delish! I'm glad that there were actual banana chunks in the drink which gave the drink a nice additional texture. The foam of the latte was also perfectly frothed. Service was quick and the store was clean. Will definitely be back to try their other drinks! read more

I've been here twice within the span of a week! I love how Jade & Java is a straightforward cafe that delivers on their drinks while also having a cute, unique aesthetic. I ordered the black sesame matcha both times I went...the black sesame cream top is just too delicious! It does make the drink more creamy for those who prefer something less of that. I took a sip of their vietnamese coffee and that tastes great as well, I would definitely order that in the future. Service was friendly and fast. I really like the car/minimal decor they have going on in there with the natural lightning and plants. It's located in a plaza so there's convenient parking available. read more

Heard about this place through social media and decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy, and we got our drinks pretty quickly. The matcha itself was good, creamy, smooth, and had a strong, authentic matcha flavor. The cream toppings were a bit inconsistent. The crème brûlée topping didn't fully cover the surface of the drink. It was mostly a small patch in the center over the ice and only lightly torched. That drink also didn't reach the top of the cup, and I thought the cream would fill the rest, but it didn't like the black sesame topping did. Flavor wise, everything tasted as expected, and the matcha was definitely well made. I'd come back to try their Vietnamese coffee and other matcha drinks next time. I can see this spot becoming really popular, especially being so close to SFSU. There are a few seating options inside, so it's also a nice place to hang out and relax for a bit. read more

I found out about this place from my friend a while ago when she came here for a car event. It's been on my list of places to try ever since. I finally stopped by over the weekend with my friend, and we got some tea and hung out at the café for a while. I got the matcha with coconut, which I was excited to see they had on their menu. The matcha was really high quality, and it was perfect mixed with the coconut milk. A solid 5/5 drink. read more

Jade & Java Cafe - matcha with coconut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cute new cafe near Stonestown & SFSU. Grabbed a drink after a tasty hotpot session at Mumu. There were so many good options between fruit tea, matcha and viet coffee. It was so hard to choose what I wanted. I eventually went with the coconut matcha and banana viet coffee. Looking for a WAKE ME UP drink?! That viet coffee is super strong and tasty pair it with one of the creme toppings gives it a good balance. Highly recommend for those coffee/viet coffee lovers. Not feeling coffee? Coconut matcha is right up your alley! Matcha flavor is definitely strong. Have a sweeter palette ? I recommend adding sugar or a topping to balance it out. Will be back soon again to try more of their matches, coffees and teas! Friendly and welcoming staff to help with any questions you have. read more

Cute new cafe hidden in park merced. They offer an extensive menu of specialty matchas and vietnamese coffee too. When you walk in, there are 2 self order kiosks to greet you. The issue I had was choosing a drink. I ended up getting the salted cream matcha, but I want to come by and try the creme brulee and black sesame cream matchas. Alas I had to control myself and did not order 2 drinks this time. The matcha was good, it tasted like something I would make at home. The salted cream was good. If they offered a bigger size I would probably order it, I drank my drink so fast. Will be back soon, parking was fairly easy and drink came out quickly. read more

New Boba Shop on the Block Car themed cafe! The owners organizes weekly car meets in the parking lot. Owners are nice and makes the boba themselves. Vibe: Slow R&B, hip hop, more masculine, young. Matcha and Viet Coffee specialty Self-order on two screens or they are able to help you too No hot food but they have a small fridge with cakes, packaged waffles, packaged muffins and sodas. Corners chips. So great to have a new boba shop around here. Pink velvet drink was good. The fruit teas are popular and sell out quickly. Hot tip: even after asking for less sweet it was still very sweet! If you don't like too sweet make sure to let them know. Lots of seating. It's black walls so it feels dark. read more

I was so excited to see another matcha spot open up near SFSU! The space has great seating, a killer playlist, and plenty of drink options to suit everyone's taste. I tried the Strawberry Matcha and the SunsetSki. The SunsetSki was incredibly refreshing, definitely one I'll be coming back for. The Strawberry Matcha had the perfect amount of sweetness and was beautifully balanced. I can't wait to come back and try more drinks to see which one is my ultimate favorite. I saw they had some snacks like chips and muffins but wondering if they will expand their snack menu or serve food in the future. Solid spot and I will definitely be returning :) read more

Edit: please update the rewards app. The shop isn't even on Snackpass I FREAKING love this place. I visit my girlfriend over in Orange County, Westminster area every few months. It's a very Vietnamese prominent area so they have A LOT of Vietnamese coffee drink spots. I always went to 2 specific coffee spots for iced Vietnamese coffee - DaVien and Airoma. Those spots are SOOOO good that I'm always sad coming back home to SF because I could never find a spot that reminds me of those 2 places. I literally would order Vietnamese coffee from any spot if it's on the menu just to hope it's good. Decided to give Jade & Java cafe by accident when looking for lunch spots. Pricing is about $6-7 per drink. They're about Starbucks grande size. I will say compared to drinks in OC, I was getting Starbucks venti sized cups for $7 so it's a bit on the pricey side. Albeit, the flavor is very similar and hits the spot for me. I just wish one day they'll offer bigger size drinks as an option. Location is very easy to get to. Located a little bit past SF STATE within Park Merced. It's located in a small strip of area that has other food spots. There's a parking lot and also street parking right next to it. I've came here maybe 4 times now and never had trouble finding parking The kind of Vietnamese coffee I like is one where it isn't majority ice like most places. It isn't watered down. It's not just black coffee with condensed milk. It's exactly like this place has it where it's still pretty strong like Vietnamese coffee is known for but has a good amount of sweet to it. I love that there's a variety of options like DaVien and Airoma too. They have a crème brulee one which reminds me of the egg cream coffee, sea salt cream, black sesame, and banana cream. Would love to see a matcha cream one. PLEASE PLEASE Offer bigger size drinks and use small, crushed ice to get a nice icey, coffee sip each time for my big back indulgences read more

Loved each of our drinks. We got the matcha with banana cream, Vietnamese coffee with sea salt cream, manglow, and Vietnamese coffee with banana cream. The banana cream taste shows up when mixed in all the drinks we got and gave each drink an upgraded taste. Very sweet but yummy. The Vietnamese coffee is strong. The Manglow was yummy, strong milk taste but the mango jelly sweetness balanced it. Matcha was like any other matcha drink but the banana cream enhanced the drink flavor so well. Overall, I recommend this place to try! read more

I like their matcha, ordered strawberry matcha with an extra shot and I really felt the difference! The banana Vietnamese coffee is good. I like their Vietnamese coffee but the banana cream sits at the top. You can leave it and try it or mix it but either way its a mild flavor. Wish there was an option to order more banana cream. Despite ordering at the machine, the baristas were soooo friendly... So much friendlier than anyone in the area... I love the cute girlies who were working on the day I went. Ambiance is clean and modern. I would go again, but I assume there is no reliable parking at peak times. It won't stop me though! Since I ordered both of strawberry matcha and banana Vietnamese coffee, when i finished both halfway, I mixed it and made some delicious slop. I think it was fun to drink but the caffeine was so strong I was tweaking out. 10/10 would do this all again read more

Just moved to the area and happened to stumble upon this gem while returning my U-Haul next door. I love how cozy this lil spot is. Right next to SF state too! The drink menu was definitely captivating as it had the staples for sure- variations of the matcha latte, variations of Vietnamese coffee, and then fruity milk teas. Yum! I ordered the strawberry milk tea, aka "Pink Velvet". Super refreshing, not too sweet. Little pink jellies swimming in there also. In fact, I was writing this review the first time I came into this cafe and never finished it. I'm back again today and finally posting this! 10/10, gotta try Jade & Java! Perfect pick-me-up for this gloomy weather. read more

I've always wanted to try their matcha since they have so many different flavors. From original matcha to OG Vietnamese coffee. i came for the matcha and I ordered two different ones: matcha with banana cream & matcha with crème brûlée cream. I asked the employee if the drinks are super sweet or mild, and she recommended me to get regular sugar. I love the both because it's not too sweet like she recommended.

The drinks were just okay. I was happy to try a new matcha and viet coffee place in this area! I got a banana cream matcha to try. The drinks came out quickly. The matcha tasted rather powdery and not top-quality, similar to culinary grade matcha powders. The saving grace of the drink was definitely the banana cream. It was so creamy and tasted like real bananas. It immensely improved the drink and slightly overpowered the matcha which was good imo. The less sweet option was a perfect amount of sweetness for me. As for the price point, it runs on the more expensive end ($8.10 with tax included). I would not get the matcha again at this price given the quality. Seating and indoor anesthetics were nice and looked like a good study spot. Overall, I would come back to try the viet coffee, but I hope they can get better matcha. read more
