    I tried their panda coffee and the lac coffee and both were delicious. Not too sweet and the different flavored foam you're able to add really makes a difference. I added sea salt to my panda coffee and house foam to my lac coffee and it definitely elevated the taste. Service was decent. Ambiance was nice with the different decors representing different parts of Vietnam

    Super cute matcha spot! It had a little line when we got there but they cleared it quickly. The matcha had great flavor and the pandan complimented the matcha well. Staff was super sweet and I can't wait to go back!

    When I went last year, I really enjoyed the vibe and menu. They had weird hours toward the end of 2025 and 2026 so when I returned I was surprised to see a whole makeover. In the past, the matcha drinks included the cream and now it's an extra $1 to add on. The quality also seemed to decrease. The chairs and tables also completely changed. It used to be a nice spot to sit, work, or study with plentiful of outlets throughout. Now the tables are smaller and chairs more uncomfortable designed to deter folks from staying too long.

    Came here on a Saturday around noon after hiking mission peak, hoping for a strong yummy matcha, but unfortunately it was not nearly as good as it looked :( The matcha flavor was not strong at all. We tried the lac and thought that the viet coffee and jasmine flavors definitely overpowered the matcha. We also tried the earl grey matcha, and similarly, thought that the earl grey syrup dominated. We did enjoy the earl grey flavor though, but was just looking for a stronger matcha taste overall. Wait wasn't long though and they have tables inside!

    With so many matcha and tea spots opening up lately, the market feels incredibly saturated, and a lot of places are starting to taste exactly the same. I had heard great things about LAC Coffee, but unfortunately, my experience didn't quite live up to the hype. I ordered the Hojicha Latte, but it tasted like straight-up milk. There was barely any distinct hojicha flavor coming through at all, and weirdly, it tasted more like plain coffee than roasted green tea. The menu is also fairly limited, so there aren't many other options to choose from if your first choice misses the mark. Between the weak flavor and the sparse menu, I'm not sure I'd give this spot another try.

    One of the best cafes I've been to in a while, especially specializing in crafted Vietnamese coffee-based drinks and good quality Matcha Lattes. **What we ordered: Banana Creme Vietnamese Coffee (seasonal) Banana Creme Matcha Latte (seasonal) DRINKS: 9/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 DRINKS: 9/10 I loved how, even though the drinks are carefully crafted with specific flavor profiles, you can still distinctly taste both the banana crème and the Vietnamese coffee. The banana flavor tasted fresh and natural rather than artificial, while the Vietnamese coffee remained rich and flavorful. Since Vietnamese coffee can be quite strong, I find that many places struggle to strike the right balance between the coffee and the featured flavors. Here, they managed to perfectly blend the two, allowing each component to come through without overpowering the other. I also appreciated that the default sweetness level is 50%. The drink was well-balanced, not too sweet, not too strong, and definitely not bland. You can customize the sweetness to your preference, whether you want it less sweet or a little sweeter. SERVICE: 10/10 Friendly staff who greet you as you arrive, quick service with well-made drinks, and friendly smiles! AMBIANCE: 10/10 I also really loved the overall setup of the shop. It was cool seeing the different coffee brewing systems on display, which I think were different types of phin filters used for Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese posters around the shop were beautiful and added a unique touch to the space. The open-kitchen concept was also really nice. I especially loved the little details, like the Smiskis and Sonny Angels sitting on the money tree. It was such a cute touch and made the shop feel cozy and welcoming.

    I've been in a matcha craze lately, so I swung by this spot to check out some of their unique choices. I got their pandan matcha (with added cream on top) and it was delicious. Their pandan milk was very fragrant and definitely tasted of pandan, and their matcha was rich. Reasonable prices and quick service. Would come back for sure.

    Matcha Latte
    Allison P.

    This spot right here is the BEST matcha spot in the Bay. The BEST. The matcha scene is pretty saturated in the Bay, but Lac Coffee truly takes the cake. I dropped by with no expectations and left a die-hard fan. I got their classic Matcha Latte. Their matcha is so incredibly robust, earthy, and grassy in all the best ways. They also have a Pandan Matcha and L.A.C which is matcha and Viet coffee. My friends got both of these drinks and from the sips I sneaked, they were also divine! Protect and support this Viet-owned small business at all costs! :')

    Banana cream coffee and matcha
    Ashley V.

    Hand whisked matcha and a real banana flavor! One of my new favorite matcha places. The inside is so clean and sleek! They also have coffee, which seemed pretty popular! Service was friendly and they take their time to ensure the quality of the product.

    I love anything banana matcha. It was perfect and not too sweet. I could taste the banana, and it works well with the matcha. Also, I love the sprinkle of Biscoff crumbs on top. It is a perfect touch. The inside is beautiful and perfect for dates or just hanging out with friends to study or relax.

    A friend of mine recommended this place and so I went to try it out. The place looks nice with a couple of tables to sit from. They have a kiosk if you wanna look through the menu. Banana Bread(8/10): The bread was nice and soft. It was slightly sweet, but I wish it was bigger. Matcha Latte(7/10): The drink was good, but I thought it didn't have enough matcha. Pandan Matcha(6/10): It was more on the milky side and I couldn't really taste the pandan. Maple Butter Cream Matcha(6/10): Initially I couldn't taste the maple flavor, but after letting the cream settle into the drink--I was able to taste it. Jasmine Matcha Latte(6/10): It tasted mostly like Jasmine, so I couldn't taste the matcha as much. Service(10/10): I didn't really experience the service(online ordered), but I could tell the workers are nice and friendly! Overall, a nice coffee place to go to before I head off to work!

    Coconut Matcha
    Dana L.

    This place is one of my favorite matcha places near me. Their coconut water matcha is the best 10/10! I usually get extra sweet because I like my drinks on the sweeter end. If you haven't tried this I highly recommend, it's so refreshing and has a good matcha taste to it. There is also a good amount of seating, I like to study/ do work here from time to time and the workers are always super nice. Even when it's super busy the wait isn't long, and each cup is hand whisked not pre batched!!

    Strawberry matcha with oat milk
    Kim T.

    This place has been on my spot for a while so I'm happy I was in the area and got to try it. My boyfriend and I got a strawberry matcha. It's on the sweeter side, but I thought the matcha flavor wasn't too strong. It tasted more milky.

They have coffee and pastries you will not find anywhere else in Fremont and remind me of some of the "Little Arabia" neighborhoods you normally only find in LA on the West Coast. Mufawar Coffee : Before cappuccinos and lattes, there was Mufawar. Born in Yemen's highlands, this creamy, cardamom-infused coffee made my morning, I loved being able to choose the sweetness level. Bee Bites: Sliced like a pie, covered in honey, delicious pastry with cheese inside. The kids loved this and debated over who got the last piece. Fatayer: I've had the chicken, beef, and spinach & feta and all were excellent. It's snack-sized and not too big and actually a perfect size for me to pair with their excellent coffee. Musakhan Chicken Roll: Chicken, olive oil, onion, spices. Again, I might be in the minority but I like snack sized food and not too big. I split this in half as a 2 snacks and it was excellent. Za'atar and cheese croissant: Za'atar is one of my favorite spice combos and Ioved it on this croissant, I reheated this in a toaster oven at 350 degrees at home and it was excellent! Frozen Blend: Pineapple Mango: Comes in a very cool glass and the kids destroyed this, they loved it so much!

Specifically the milk sun moon lake tea. She loved it in Taiwan and loves it even more in Fremont here. I ordered a milk tea red bean drink - super yummy, and a sun moon lake black tea thinking it was the one with milk. I couldn't see the milk part on the first menu. When I picked it up, my order was correct but hers was just the plain black tea. I had to go back and reorder it with the boss. Good customer service and super kind enough to remake it!!! And happy I got to bring back my sister her order. Which she's the one who wanted Tea Top for their the specific Taiwanese sun moon lake milk black tea in the 1st place.

    Final Thoughts: 2.00/5.00…read more After dinner, my friend and I went to get boba at the shop a few doors down. Perhaps we should have chosen somewhere else. My friend said that his coworkers will go here sometimes and they seem to like it. To each their own. I have personally had better, but I'll try anything once. Overall, will be a 2 star for me today. Drinks: Matcha Latte: 1.5/5 Very interesting how this place has fairly high marks and reviews. Maybe because their other drinks are better? I chose this drink today because I've very much gotten into matcha. This drink was not for me though. First look gave me that sense too. Lovely layering, but it was when it was mixed did I really see it. My one note is the amount of milk that is added to this drink. When it comes to matcha drinks, I find that less is more with the base. This drink just had so much milk and ice at the bottom and it completely dilutes the matcha. Had this matcha been in a little less milk, it may have been better. This also dulls out the color of it and makes the drink itself unappealing when it's mixed. This drink is super grainy at the bottom and I tried to mix it more, but that really didn't help. Sweetness was alright. Again, flavor of it was just the milk, so I can't say too much of the matcha since it drowned out. Grapefruit Green Tea with Crushed Ice: 3.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for my review purposes. This was the better option of the two. The grapefruit and tea drink itself was very refreshing. Sweetness was good. Something about the crushed ice made it better. I honestly don't think this drink would be the same with the regular cubed large ice. The crushed ice was also mixed in with the grapefruit pulp at the top too. I like that addition of the grapefruit because of it's natural flavor and that texture from it. Grapefruit can be slightly bitter, but I actually like it that subtle bitterness with the sweetness and tartness in it. The green tea is a good option to have with think drink because it's very light and doesn't overpower the remainder of the drink. Sweetness was good for me. Definitely more of a passing drink than the drink option that I chose today. Menu: Good enough variety Again, looks to be your standard boba shop menu. There are a fair amount of items on their menu for you to choose from though. Perhaps their fruit teas would have been the better option for me here. I thought my friend's drink was really refreshing and appropriate for the weather at the time. --------- Quality: So-so The matcha really doesn't look like my ceremonial grade matcha powder. Slightly oxidized and dulled out green color. This might be because it looked completely diluted, but maybe not. What gets me was how grainy it was too. Now, looking at my friend's drink, I liked the grapefruit pulp and the use of the natural fruit inside the drink. So, will depend on what you get and your preferences. Price: Average Truly your average Bay Area prices for these drinks and what they are. The price will range from $5 to $8, so really within that standard boba drink price here. Service: Friendly They greeted us when we walked into the shop and they were also really quick to make the drink. I noticed the person making the drink come to the front too to see what we would order and he started making it right after we paid for the drinks. Loving the quick service. There wasn't many groups ahead of us, so he was able to do this. I'm sure they try their best to keep up and make it quickly to order though, which I appreciate. Ambiance: Standard boba shop The interior is giving your very standard boba shop and smell. There are a few tables on the side and the counter on the other side. I think this would be a nice studying stop or charting spot because it seems very peaceful. Location/Parking: Long Plaza; Optimal Parking Spaces This area is on Cedar Blvd. The plaza itself is quite long and made up of sections of buildings. All of it seems to be connected though, so there are parking spaces. Doesn't seem like it was super super saturated of an area during the time, so my friend and I were able to park close by. I really don't see parking being too much of an issue though.
