Ordered a Kalamansi Spritz, Pandan Muoi Latte, and a Pate So (Pork Puff Pastry) to enjoy in this adorable little cafe. Parking was super easy too, they had a parking garage attached, but you do unfortunately have to pay for parking. The rates are very reasonable. The staff greeted us right when we walked in but the first thing we walked up to was their menu that they have posted on a stand before the register. I really appreciate when cafes have this so I can peruse the menu first before awkwardly standing in front of the barista while they wait for me to decide. The Kalamansi Spritz had a wonderfully savory espresso that went perfectly with their Kalamansi Limeade Spritz. I was hoping for more fizz in my drink but the flavor profile won me over. The Pandan Latte was good, but not over the top. I would honestly return just for the Kalamansi Spritz. The Pate So was unfortunately still cold in the middle. Don't get me wrong- still yummy, just not super enjoyable when it was not reheated all the way. We sat at the large center table since that was all that was available at the time. Dining room style in the center and along the sides of the cafe they have smaller single seats/tables for those who want to use the cafe as a working space.
This is a hidden gem. Came in mid-morning on a Friday. It was already busy and remained busy while I worked for a few hours. I got the Pandan muôi latte. You can tell it was hand crafted with care. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing but tasted delicious.
A very modern and pleasant space! I recently stopped by for a coffee and to get some work done, and I thought it was a lovely experience. The baristas are really knowledgeable about the menu, the drinks are served quickly, and the variety of drinks really does showcase the quality and unique flavors of their menu. The space is clean and there is a decent amount of seating, though when I visited it was quite busy and full. There is also complimentary WiFi. I ordered their Cà phê sữa đá, which seems to be premixed (the barista poured it from a large pitcher). It was a little sweet for my taste, as I wish I could have enjoyed the flavor of the coffee a little more. Their drinks also err on the small side, despite the pricing being on the normal to high end for the Bay Area. I do like that their menu is really focused, and they seem to care a lot about creating unique flavor combinations. There are a few things of note when visiting--there is no attached parking lot, but there is a Whole Foods across the street with limited parking as well as street parking options. Also, sitting at the central table puts you in direct sunlight from the unshaded glass storefront, which did ultimately strain my eyes a little. Finally, they are cash-free, so you will need a card or a tap-to-pay method. Overall, I do think this a nice spot. The highlights are definitely the unique menu, the relaxing atmosphere, and the quick service, but I think that, for this price, this will be a less frequent stop for me. I still plan to come back (their unique menu items really do interest me), and I do think I can safely recommend it as a nice spot to try.
What a great new coffee/matcha spot in the area!! Quickly stopped by after returning some amazon items across the street at Whole Foods and can say i'm thoroughly impressed with their matcha!! Only one matcha on the menu but they do it amazingly well!! I'm a tough critic on matcha and normally make it at home but I've been trying to find matcha spots near me and i'm so glad this one exists now! The pandan muoi cream was absolute perfection!! You can really taste the pandan flavor with a perfect touch of saltiness to balance it out. I wish the cream just came with the matcha latte instead of as an extra charge add-on. I'm not sure if I would get the matcha latte without the pandan cream, the matcha was a little lacking/bitter for my personal taste but with the cream I would totally come back! :)
Located in San Jose's Alameda neighborhood, Kasama Ca Phe is a terrific new Filipino-Vietnamese coffee spot. We just happened to be in town a week after they opened, so it was very cool to be able to experience their drinks. It was crowded when we arrived and there was a line, but we were able to snag two seats. I chose the Pandan Muoi Latte and my husband got the Davao Mocha. Both drinks were terrific and not too sweet. They offer some pastries and small bites, too. We will certainly be back when we're in town.
First of all, the vibes are super nice!! I wish I took more photos but I went close to closing time. We barely made it in the store before they closed. Parking is only street parking, which is really limited. My friend and I both got the Pandan Muoi Latte. Although it was not customizable with sweetness or anything, it was perfectly sweet! I was surprised since I'm not a huge fan of sugary sweet drinks and typically order on the low sweetness side (30% or lower). The coffee tasted nutty and works really well with the Pandan flavor. I think this place gives other Viet coffee a run for its money. Yummy!! I'll definitely be back again with friends next time I'm in SJ!!
Went and tried this place awhile back. Glad I tried it but not sure if I would comeback. The drinks were either too strong or too bland for my liking. The interior of the cafe is breathtaking very nice and aesthetic. Very simple and modern design. Reminded me of some cafes in socal. The service were really nice, employees were very outgoing and jolly. Overall I would rate this cafe in my opinion a solid 3/5 stars. If I am in SJ again in the morning and I don't see a long line, I stall try it and review it again.
I didn't know I stumbled upon their grand opening, but still tried to check it out. This place specializes in Vietnamese coffee. Parking can be a bit difficult since they don't have their own parking spot. Pandan Muối Latte (4/5): The pandan flavor wasn't there where I would like it to be as it was overpowered by the salt. However the drink was pretty good and the saltiness add some nice flavor to it. Matcha Latte (3/5): This definitely tasted like matcha from a place that doesn't specialize it matcha. It was very watery and tasted grassy. I will probably come here again if there's a Shark Game
Vietnamese cafe with beautiful modern industrial design. Tried the signature Pandan Latte. A little too sweet, but overall well balanced. If you prefer specialty pour-over or black coffee, this may not be your thing, but it works nicely as a fun coffee drink! Also tried the Yuzu Special, which was as expected.
4.5 The vibe is vibing. I visited early in the morning so the place was still relatively empty, relaxing & chill ambiance. Good place to sit & talk with friends, or study/work since they have comfortable chairs & nice wood table in the middle of the store. I ordered salt pandan latte & vietnamese coffee - Pandan salted cream has nice consistency, not too think that it wouldn't blend into your drink but not too watery that it overtakes the taste of coffee. Latte is delicous, tho I prefer the viet coffee more - Viet coffee doesn't have the usual roasted corn taste like other viet coffee place. This means they use high quality bean Hope they keep this level of quality and don't reduce cost like Tram - Cant adjust sweetness & ice - but no need for it anyway - No bags for take out - Only 1 type of cream on top: salted pandan cream $1.25 pretty high cost Good, fast service
Love that the matcha is sourced from Vietnam. Vibes are 10/10 inside. Good amount of seating and have yummy pastries from Milk Belly. Service is pretty quick too despite lines that can get long, it moves pretty fast. The matcha itself was light, balanced, not too much depth to it. I found it refreshing, light, but still yummy with the pandan Muoi cream. Wish it was stronger though but I still enjoyed it for a mid day pick me up. Hope they add more options to the menu in the future.
Experience (4/5 stars): *Drinks: kalamansi summer spritz and pandan muoi latte were both good. tasted the citrusy flavor in the tonic and pandan in the latte. *Price: ~$7 per drink Overall, it's a yes for me!
Just stopped by this Sunday afternoon and it was pretty packed, just figured out it was their Grand Opening weekend! Many sitting inside the store and outside there were many stools. Line to order was all the way to the door but moved quick. Drinks also came out fast, like a couple minutes. Pandan Muối Latte: 4.5/5 I enjoyed this drink! The pandan salted cream top was yummy and paired well with the coffee. Sweetness was perfect with the cream top Sơn La Matcha Latte: 3.5/5 First couple sips tasted a little diluted and more of a grassy/earthy matcha. I didn't use a straw so maybe it made a difference but towards the bottom, it was a bit sweeter and balanced out the grassiness taste. I would recommend if getting the matcha latte to drink with a straw. Just okay, had better matcha elsewhere in San Jose. We were lucky enough to be able to find an open parking spot right in front of the store but by looking around, parking is very limited. Would come back to get the pandan coffee again or try other drinks if I'm in the area.

Stopped by and tried their pandan matcha and latte, and both were really good! The flavors came through beautifully, with the matcha in particular being a standout. Definitely a satisfying treat! What really stole the show for me, though, was the café itself. The space is cozy and inviting, yet still feels bright and airy. They have these gorgeous overhead ceiling light fixtures near the front that cast the most beautiful, warm, natural-looking glow throughout the café. It genuinely feels like golden hour at any time of the day, which I thought was such a lovely touch and made the space feel extra special. Honestly, the ambiance alone is enough to make me want to revisit! Between the delicious drinks and the warm, thoughtfully designed interior, this is definitely a café I'd happily return to whenever I'm in the area. read more
My wife and I traveled from Seattle and always enjoy great Vietnamese coffee in the San Jose area. Today, we ventured for Filipino mixed Vietnamese coffee and it was a great experience. Both drinks we got were packed with great flavors. We don't usually get mochas but they made their mocha here delicious while not being too sweet. The service was efficient and good. There is limited seating inside but since the weather was nice some people sat outside as well. read more
My husband and I are visiting from Seattle and we love San Jose and the fact that there's a significant Vietnamese population here which allows the Vietnamese food and coffee culture here to thrive. We ordered the Davao mocha and the Vietnamese coffee. Both drinks were delish! Strong with just enough sweetness! I've added this to my fave spots in the area so I can come back the next time we visit! read more

Came here on a Sunday 1 hr before closing and they were packed despite it still being a soft opening! Located near the Whole Foods so parking can be a bit difficult but we found street parking and crossed the street. The ambiance of the cafe itself is super welcoming and had a modern warm clean minimalist design. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly! We ordered: Pan Dan muoi latte w/ oat milk - delicious! Craving it again right now actually! Not too sweet and the ratio of espresso to milk and foam was perfect. In fact when I was done, I went home and scooped out then salted pandan foam! Yum! Davao mocha w/ oat milk - my husband's fave. He loved the cherry notes in the mocha and also was not too sweet! Son La matcha latte w/ pandan cream & oat milk - I've never had matcha from Son La and it was delicious! I'd prefer to get this without the pandan cream so I can really taste the matcha notes. Pate chaud - tastes great! I loved that it was not super greasy. Overall it was a great experience! I am usually one to chug my drinks but these drinks are so well-crafted that it really does encourage you to take in the nuances of each drink and really enjoy that authentic coffee ritual of savoring each sip. They don't allow you to alter sweetness or ice levels but honestly the ratios were perfect as is. This is coming from a girl who always has to ask for less ice & less sugar for all my drinks. The ice melted and my drinks still tasted great! I'll definitely be back! read more
I've been waiting years to write this review. I first found Kevin and Eric back in 2019 at their pop up in the Mission District in San Francisco, and I've been a fan ever since. Through the pandemic I was ordering their Vietnamese coffee concentrate batches to make at home, and more recently I've been to their pop up at Vago Super. So getting to walk into their actual cafe during this soft opening in San Jose felt like watching something come full circle. The space itself is exactly what I hoped it would be. It's not sterile like so many new cafes trying to look perfect for photos. It has real character, with little red stackable stools scattered around and a mix of different tables and seating that all feel intentional rather than matched from a catalog. I felt I was in a cafe somewhere in SEA. There are small touches throughout that nod to Southeast Asia without feeling forced, and it makes the whole place feel warm and inviting. The coffee tastes amazing, I got the Pandan Muôì Latte and it tasted like coconut and Pandan without being overly sweet and refreshing. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Their grand opening is this weekend, and if the soft opening is any indication, this is going to be one of the best cafes in San Jose. Easily my favorite spot in the city right now. So happy for Kevin and Eric. --- Let me know if you'd like it shorter, longer, or adjusted for a specific platform. read more
I heard good things about Kasma Ca Phe so I've been wanting to try it out. I tried their signature Pandan Muoi latte. Delicious! The caramel like salted cream is so salty (in a good way) that I almost felt like I'm having a bite of crispy sizzled bacon. This is quickly followed by the mellow sweetness of the cane sugar, creating a classical piece of sweet and salty working together in harmony. My only complaint is that this duo doesn't last too long and fades away half way through the journey. If there were someway to preserve the flavor all the way through the entire journey, it's easily the best latte in SJ (maybe that's not even physically possible though). Ambience is lively, packed, friendly. But, the service is quick for the amount of people ordering. Best, hottest coffee place in the Alameda or even the entire Downtown area right now. read more
Kasama Ca Phe is located in The Alameda neighborhood right around the corner from the SAP Center. It's such a great addition to the area as the cafe serves up delicious local pastries and variety of Vietnamese/Filipino inspired coffee beverages. My partner and I had the opportunity to check this shop out with a friend that lives in the area. We both ordered an Iced Vietnamese Coffee, and it was excellent. The coffee had a bold, robust flavor that was perfectly complemented by the condensed milk, creating an ideal balance. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and try other specialty beverages on the menu! read more

WOW the drinks here are delicious! We tried the pandan latte and the iced mocha; both were fabulous. They don't allow adjustments to ice or sweetness level but you don't need to change anything on the specialty drinks because they're perfectly balanced. The cafe itself is pretty small so I wouldn't count on getting a table for an extended period. read more

IDK about you but I'm tired of some of the *new* cafes, coffee shops, and matcha shops in the bay being whacked AF.... where drinks take a backseat to vibes and aesthetics. Kasama Cà Phê? Take my monies! Starting as a pop-up in 2018, Kasama Cà Phê opened their first brick and mortar last month. They're a café that celebrates Viet and Filipino coffee traditions. In-person ordering only. M E N U Limited soft opening menu: * Classics: Drip, latte, americano, cappuccino, etc. * Signature drinks: Pandan Muối Latte, Davao Mocha, Kalamansi Spritz, and Cà Phê Sữa Đá -- Fixed ice and sweetness. No adjustments or add-ons allowed for signature drinks. Decaf to come. No charge for oat milk. D R I N K S * Pandan Muối Latte w/ oat milk ($7.50) An iced latte with housemade pandan syrup, pandan salted cream, and toasted coconut - creamy, beautifully layered, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. Since they use real pandan leaves instead of artificial extract, it's not the usual bright green. Instead, you get pandan's natural, subtly sweet, vanilla-like flavor. Do not use a straw....the velvety salted cream adds a savory touch that balances the espresso and makes every sip taste like liquid crack. * Davao Mocha w/ oat milk ($7) Made with Viet catimor coffee and cocoa from Davao, Philippines, the iced mocha was rich, creamy, and not too sweet. It had deep dark chocolate flavors with subtle dark cherry notes. Well-balanced, smooth, and more elevated than a typical iced mocha. S E R V I C E Friendly and efficient. A M B I A N C E Modern and minimalist with warm wood accents and iconic red plastic stools that give a subtle nod to Vietnam's café culture. There's a mix of standard tables, low tables, a communal table, and handful of stools outside. Restroom and Wi-Fi available. Overall, we loved the drinks we tried at Kasama Cà Phê and appreciate how they thoughtfully showcase SE AZN ingredients and flavors. Good thing it's an hour away from me cuz I would go broque wanting to come here on the regular! read more

I invited my friend to try Kasama Cà Phê with me on a Monday morning around 10am. My friend got a kick out of the short plastic chairs and tables. He had just come from Vietnam where it was common to see this type of furniture at restaurants, so it was like a nod to his own experience. I saw that they had a small display of pastries, but I did appreciate that their focus was really on the coffee. If I remember correctly, they had 3-4 specialty drinks. My friend got an iced Pandan Muối Latte, and I got an iced Davao Mocha. The Pandan Muối Latte had a salted cream over a balanced pandan espresso drink. I liked that the chocolate in the Davao Mocha wasn't overpowering. Both drinks were very good in their own right, and you really couldn't go wrong. Can't wait to try their cafe sua da. read more

This was our first time visiting Kasama Ca Phe after they opened. It's located in the first level of an apartment complex across the street from Whole Foods by the Alameda and is a parking garage right next to the cafe for retail guests. The interior is quite spacious and there were multiple groups of customers studying or working. It wasn't too crowded for a Friday afternoon, so we were able to order and receive our drinks within 10 minutes. The owner / manager took our orders and gave a helpful overview of the drinks on the menu and how they source coffee beans from all over Southeast Asia. He also mentioned that their drinks are all "not too sweet" which is my preferred level of sweetness. We ordered the Kalamansi Summer Spritz and Pandan Muoi Latte, which is their most popular drink. The Kalamansi Summer Spritz was refreshing and crisp without being bitter or astringent as citrus mixed with espresso can sometimes be. The Pandan Muoi Latte was balanced and had the perfect level of salt on the cream top, which brought out the grassy and nutty flavors of the pandan which I found to be unique, as other cafes' pandan drinks tend to lean more coconut in flavor. I could have used a small spoon for the cream, as it did get stuck on top of the ice cubes as I drank it. I appreciate that their menu is intentional and consolidated to drinks that represent both Vietnamese and Filipino culture. This is a great cafe and I'll be back for more. read more

I was excited to try out this new cafe shop! I couldn't decide between pandan muối latte and cà phê sữa đá. The staff told me their drinks are all not too sweet but between the two, the pandan is sweeter. I don't prefer my drinks to be too sweet, but since it was the afternoon I was worried about stronger caffeine in the cà phê sữa đá. *Note: this shop does not allow customization/adjustments on signature drinks What I got: - Pandan Muối Latte (3.5/5): the Pandan is very light - I could smell the pandan from the cream top, but couldn't really taste it in the drink. It's not too sweet and the coffee is not strong. Overall, this drink is mild and cohesive, but doesn't have any flavors that make it stand out. Im glad I got to try this place. It's a nicely designed cafe with some seating suitable for work/study (if you can grab a table). While the Pandan Muối Latte didn't stand out to me, I would be willing to come back to try their Cà Phê Sữa Ðá next time. read more

I wouldn't say this is my new go to for Viet coffee or anything. It was not bad! But I wouldn't go out of my way for it. (Parking isn't great). The pandan cream top is pretty yummy though! Pandan Muoi Latte was STRONGGGG and the pandan cream top itself is so rich/decadent. It's creamy and fragrant without distracting from that punchy viet coffee. If you love a strong latte, this is pretty darn good! Menu is limited for soft opening, but it does seem pretty expensice. read more

Thank you for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the pandan cream top and…
Kasama Ca Phe is a super nice touch to the cafes situated in San Jose! I stopped by with my husband since we were drawn in by the cultural touch of both our culture (we are both Viet/Filipino). We stopped by when it wasn't as busy during their soft opening so we were able to get served fast and even had enough time to chat with the baristas/owners. They were super friendly and sweet answering our questions about their decor and their coffee process! Inside felt very cozy and minimalistic which was a refreshing touch than what im used to here in SJ. My husband and I tried their Pandan Muoi Latte (a good 8/10) and their Davao Mocha Coffee (5.5/10 for us). We enjoyed their Pandan drink with the nice touch of the salted cream top, def elevated the drink overall and gave us that Pandan taste that wasn't overly artificial. The Davao Mocha was a little too bitter for our liking and wished we could've had a bit more of the mocha be incorporated into the overall drink to balance out the bitterness. Overall - loved the concept but would only come back for the Pandan Muoi Latte! read more

Finally tried this place and Loved their coffee! Tried their peach pastry and mochi butter too (not in the picture haha) Definitely recommend their signature coffees, it was not too sweet and well balanced! Peach pastry was really good but mochi butter was not really my favorite. So many people were there on Saturday, enjoying their coffee. I don't know if it was music or a limited space, I couldn't really have a conversation with friends so we sit outside. Parking is limited so maybe use parking space for Whole Foods parking lot and cross the street. Be careful when crossing cause people often drive really fast on that road. read more

We were so excited to try this out that I completely forgot to take a photo! Our order included: Pandan Muoi Iced Latte Son La Matcha Iced Latte Davao Iced Mocha The taste of all three is like no other. The Pandan cream is even super tasty. Slightly salty and a bit nutty. I had the Pandan latte. Small but freaking mighty! It has subtle taste of pandan but you can taste every ingredient they put in it. Sprinkle of matcha on top of the cream. YUM! Lines were long but it went by really quick. Honestly love the red plastic chairs and squat chairs as outdoor seating. Now we need street food hehe Can't wait to see what else they come up with after soft opening! Owner is super sweet and Kasama is now in our top 3! read more

So happy you enjoyed all the drinks! Hopefully street food one day...…
Came through because it's a Filipino/Vietnamese fusion coffee shop. Still was a soft opening so they are working out "the kinks". Line was out the door and maybe 5 people deep beyond that. We came in around 2pm on a Saturday. Took about 23 minutes from start of line to getting out drinks. Ordered the "Pandan Muoi latte" and "kalamansi summer spritz". Pandan Muoi latte definitely was more cream forward with nice notes of coconut/Pandan sweetener, the presentation is very nice with a sprinkle of Pandan over the top, Kalamansi summer spritz, was the highlight of our trip. It was different. Kalamansi (think of a tangerine and a lime had a baby) limeade, so sugar and sweet plus espresso. This shouldn't work but it does. I kept drinking it and kept saying that. It was very refreshing with a nice caffeine kick. Both drinks were great and I would order again if the wife and I make the trio back down to SJ. Staff was friendly and the place was clean/modern. read more

Went with my mini me to check this place out. Parking can be challenging. There is a garage connected to the cafe but you have to pay to park. And there's only about 20 stalls. Street parking is a hit or miss. If all else fails, park at Whole Foods across the street. It was busy when we arrived but they are quick. All the seating was taken but if you want to hang out, there are small stools available, outside and inside. The decor is a nice and the lighting is mellow. A pleasant atmosphere. The iced pandan latte was delicious. It had a nutty taste to it also. This is the best pandan latte I've had. It even beats the one I had in the Philippines. Make a visit and see for yourself! I'll be back. read more

The pandan flavor was on the lighter side, and I personally would've loved for it to come through a little stronger. The Davao mocha was okay, as I was hoping for something more distinctive. read more
As many in the bay, I've been seeing videos of this place all over online! Hearing that a Filipino + Vietnamese spot opened up in my area, I had to make a trip to stop by and support. I grabbed a matcha son la, pate choud, and calamansi butter mochi. The matcha was good, with oatmilk for no extra charge! They didn't ask and I should have mentioned, but it wasn't sweetened. As someone who needs a bit of sugar in their drinks, I know it would've hit 10x more a bit sweeter. The pate choud was great! Very flavorful and Venice and flaky on the outside. The calamansi mochi bitter however, was a bit disappointing. The flavor was good, but the texture was too sticky and not enough structure. Overall, the items were good enough for me to return, especially if I'm in the area. I'm definitely interested in coming back once the lines die down a bit. read more

Stopped by during my lunch break with coworkers. We all got the Pandan Muoi Latte. It was strong, but it was what we needed! There wasn't a hanging menu, but there was a paper menu at the cash register. We appreciate the worker explaining to us how to properly consume the drink. The cafe was clean, modern, and there were other folks studying/working. read more

Kasama Ca Phe is a beautiful cafe located downtown SJ near Whole Foods on Stockton Ave. Once you step inside, you are welcomed with a modern interior that harmoniously blends the Vietnamese aesthetic with a clean minimalistic vibe. The interior features a long wooden community table, stainless steel diner tables, along with the iconic plastic stools. Somehow its just all works together. The small beautiful details like the barista snoopy, creative flower arrangements, and vibey ceiling light makes this place look like my Pinterest cream cafe. We came during soft opening so the menu was only printed at the cashier, with 3 drinks offered as of currently: mocha, pandan muoi, and ca phe sua da. They also offer some goodies from a local bakery called Milk Belly Bakery. * Pandan muoi- Creamy, strong coffee with a not-too-sweet finish. The pandan essence is strong but not overwhelmingly so. The saltiness compliments the pandan flavor so well. This drink was enjoyable and truly unique. * Calamansi butter mochi- This was so unique as you rarely can find calamansi flavored baked goods anywhere. The calamansi taste was strong, very fruity and the mochi texture was sticky and chewy. What a unique and tasty treat to enjoy alongside your coffee. Kasama Ca Phe offers some solid drink options even for their soft opening so I'm excited to see the potential this place has to offer in the future. I really enjoy how creative their selection is and it really stands out compared to other Vietnamese coffeeshops that always offer just the standard coconut, ube and salt coffees. I would love to come back and try more coffee. read more
