    Signature Saigon. Yum!
    Melanie B.

    So excited we have another Vietnamese coffee shop in the Fremont area. This one is located in the old Starbucks spot beside Home Depot. Lots of parking available. If it gets busy, park in the old REI parking lot or even in the HD lot. I ordered one of their signature drinks: Signature Saigon (their house blend with cloud cream). When I asked, they said it had 3 shots of coffee. Whoa! I thought I'd be bouncing off the walls but on first sip it was actually mild. A very good ratio of coffee to their cream. Not too sweet. Definitely not bitter, but enough to taste that robust bean goodness. Also, FYI: I ordered my drink with less ice as well as 75% sweetness. Perfect for me. The day I went it was very busy (grand opening and all) but there's quite a bit of seating. Very comfy seats as well. Lots of people working on their laptops as well as groups socializing. Great atmosphere. I will definitely be back to try more items. *for oat milk lovers: oat milk is $.85 cents extra*

    Banana Matcha, lychee lotus tea, Muoi Vietnamese Coffee

    My husband and I visited the newest Fremont location this past Sunday. We arrived at noon and although the parking lot looked full there were still a few spots open. We quickly realized this location used to be the old Starbucks. There were a few people at the kiosk ordering but it went fast. Every table and seat was occupied and there was a nice chatty buzz. Honestly this is not the best location but it was nice to see a full house. Even with the soft opening rush, the staff did an amazing job at getting the orders out. We ordered a banana matcha, lychee with lotus ice tea and muoi viet iced coffee. Their tea is super potent! Which I appreciate. It came with a spoon to help scoop out yummy whole lychees. I hope this location survives because this is my favorite Viet coffee spots currently. I love supporting women and minority owned businesses. Good luck Lacaphe

    We went to their soft opening on a Sunday 6/8/2026 and no crowd which was nice. It's super nice that a new location is closer than San Jose. The decor inside is very modern and all cool neutral colors. Very nice seats even for groups but white? Going to get dirty in time. There is a good enough parking for a crowd. It's close to Home Depot by hwy 680. Ordered our usual drinks, Nau' Vietnamese coffee with cloud foam, and Matcha strawberry with cloud foam, and these tasted the same. I also like their other drinks. We will be regulars here of course!! [23R,2026]

    Visited during their soft launch and tried the Classic Vietnamese Coffee and Coconut Coffee. Both were really good with a strong, rich coffee flavor that stood out. Vietnamese coffee is definitely the highlight here. The downside was the atmosphere. The place was quite noisy, and despite being open for only about a week, the interior felt a bit dirty and unkempt. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, but the indoor space didn't feel very inviting. The staff were friendly and service was fine. I'd come back for the coffee, but probably only for takeout rather than staying in.

    New viet coffee place in the area! Plenty of parking in the plaza. We a went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. We ordered: - eggspresso Hanoi: traditionally phin-dripped coffee topped with egg cream. The coffee was strong, which was perfectly balanced with the slightly sweetened egg cream. We chose less sweet which was a good choice to taste the coffee strength more. - coco-Bo (avocado blended drink): I liked the thickness of the drink but the avocado paste didn't blend too well with the drink so it wasn't as enjoyable. Wish it was made with fresh avocado rather than paste. Overall, a great new viet coffee place in the area! The place is nicely decorated and modern. It was pretty crowded when we went. The staff were friendly and prepared the drinks very quickly. I would try their Saigon freeze and other creams next time!

    Newly opened in Fremont! There's both indoor and outdoor seating for grabs. It's a clean and modern space. There is also Vietnamese music playing in the background. I like their muoi which is a salted phin-dripped coffee topped with a cloud cream at 25% sweetness. My husband enjoyed his eggspresso hanoi. We have also tried their ube coffee which we didn't really like; the ube was too overpowering and tasted a bit different than what we expected.

    Eggspresso, mango, and cocomango.

    Every drink was awesome! I'd come here again no doubt. Staff is nice, place super clean, lots of seats. Cool popping place to hangout or get work done I had eggspresso which was good coffee, cocomango (my dad said was sweet, which I thought was fine and had fresh fruit and whipped cream), and lychee which also had perfect sweetness.

    Welcome to Fremont! Nice selection, non-caffeinated slushy type drinks for the youngins, interesting menu items, but also your standard Vietnamese coffee. Siblings said it's better than da vien if you can believe it. On a banana cold foam trip so I paid $1.5 extra for it and it was good, except I have a feeling it's not made with real banana. If it is, I'm sorry, but it tasted not real. Still good though. Was busy on a Sunday morning but drinks came out at a reasonable time. Nice chairs to sit and have a chat or possibly even do a little work from. They have signs requesting that you don't put your feet on the chairs. Who are these monsters? Behave yourself, Fremont. Parking lot is crowded but not a problem to park in any of the adjacent lots.

    Banana matcha & Muoi
    Charlyne P.

    The decor is so cute! Very modern and well decorated. Plenty of tables to sit and space to stand to wait for your drinks. Seating outside as well. Service is simple. There's a kiosk to order and if the line gets too long someone at the register will take your order. When the sun is out I'm sure the lighting is pretty inside. It happened to be gloomy the day/time we went. Ordered: -banana matcha latte 50% sweet w/oatmilk: matcha is premade in a pitcher. Definitely tastes watered down. Banana cream tastes artificial (3/5) -Muoi 75% sweet: really good balance of bitter, sweet, and salty (4/5) -Green cloud 75% sweet (not pictured): Floral green Thai tea with their salt cloud foam. Also a perfect blend (4/5) Price point is pretty high up there ranging from $7-9. But a lot of cafe's that serve similar drinks have similar prices. Although, I was disappointed spending $9.30 on a mid matcha. They're still on their soft opening so maybe it'll improve over time. I've tried their San Jose location before but tried their coffee only.

    What a beautiful coffee shop! I'm more of a milk tea and boba kinda gal, but of course had to try their specialty coffee first. Egg cream coffee (4.5/5) - this drink is very custardy which I absolutely love the taste of. The coffee is also strong without actually tasting strong or bitter. Coffee lovers that enjoy the taste of coffee might not like this drink, but I'm not a huge coffee fan so it works for me. I usually get drinks at 100% sweet at coffee and boba shops but this drink was still a tad too sweet for me and would reduce the sugar next time. If you don't like sweet drinks, even 50% will probably be a bit sweet for you. Saigon coffee (3/5) - this one wasn't as sweet as the custard one and 100% sugar worked for me. It has a unique flavor and I can't pinpoint what it is, but it didn't suit my personal tastes. It was also overly salty, but this drink tends to be a favorite so you should definitely try it for yourself. I'll certainly be back! I'm glad to see a new coffee shop nearby and will have to give their milk teas a try.

    So excited Lacaphe is in Fremont now! Off Auto Mall by Home Depot. Parking immediately close to the cafe is a bit tight but tons of parking a but further out. Love the decor inside and there's a little patio area outside tho it currently looks out into construction. Still was in soft opening but I got the eggspresso hanoi to compare to the other location. It wasn't as sweet as I was used to and the flavor was slightly off tho I did get 25% sweet, so perhaps they're still dialing in the drinks. Siblings got the coco freeze and the signature saigon both of which were 10/10 delicious. Will definitely be returning.

    I have been waiting for Lacāphê to open since the sign was added onto the windows sometime last year. My office is close to the location and I'm so excited this is now open! One of my coworkers and I went quickly during lunch and I am excited to go back to try other items. We both opted for match, she ordered the strawberry while I ordered the banana matcha and I love how you can adjust the sweetness to your preference. I also appreciate the staff to all greet us and even offered their recommendation to us since we were overwhelmed with the menu. We can't wait to go back to try everything! Lastly, the aesthetic of the place is definitely a coffee shop vibe you wouldn't mind being at. It's welcoming and feels like home.

    For $6-$7, I would expect a full cup of coffee. Came here for the first time today and ordered the not-so-caffeinated viet coffee with less ice. Instead I was given half a cup of ice and the other half of coffee. When I brought it to the staff's attention, she took a spoon and scooped out a tiny bit of ice. I was still left with a lot of ice. No offer to fill the cup more. I didn't bother saying anything further and left after they replaced the cup cap. I didn't drink any of the coffee and took these pics when I went next door to Quiznos to pick up my order. Most likely won't come back to this location. And I wouldn't tip in advance like I did this time since I don't get good service. It's a shame.

This time around, we did think about going to the new spot just around the corner but the line was long so we decided Shuyi it is! I got the Peach mochi oolong tea - no added sugar, no ice. This was delicious and refreshing. Mochi topping is gooey and still feels snot-like to me. Peach is strong and oolong great. The lids on the drink were kind of flimsy. Unfortunately as I was trying to get my drink into the container and into my bag, I lightly squeezed the container and the lid popped off and the drink spilled all over my bag. *Sigh* Oh well. But it wasn't too much lost still be careful with strong holding the drink as the lids pop off. I wish they sealed their drinks which I feel like they did before. Generally we end up leaving after ordering. Seating is offered and shared by the other restaurants there. It's definitely a cafeteria/food court like vibe. We'll likely be back as usual but it was a nice little change in terms of which drink I got and I would definitely get it again...maybe not with mochi.

    Long overdue review since I've seen my NorCal and visiting SoCal oomfs post about Brian Black Tea…read moreand thanking Brian for his service. This is the only singular franchise location in the United States (at least as I'm writing this and has been like this for awhile), which is insane to me, considering that it was quite hyped back then and remains a favorite to many. Hopefully one day, they'll be more locations, but it's literally been years. In that case, I'll have visiting SoCal friends with me try. Simple and casual appearance. Love the wood accent on the counters and tables, along with the green walls and descriptions of the tea. There's a bit of it that reminds of what the old XFT location looks like from the RH location, but only just a little bit. You can order ahead for pick up and they're quite efficient. The only times there was even a semblance of a fisted wait, at least when I've gone, was due to orders of like 10-30 drinks for catering or an office boba run. Solid tea that's steeped really well. If you adjust for much lower sugar, you can enjoy the quality much better. I feel like with the influx of the boba wars (at least in SoCal), many of the Taiwanese franchises (Guiji, Chayan, UG, etc.) just don't have enough of a strong flavor to compete with their Chinese competitors, but Brian Black Tea, I think would be a strong contender if they were drafted in the SoCal boba wars. I've enjoyed all of their milk teas, but my favorite has always been the Era Milk Tea with the slight coffee taste to it and the Retro Milk Tea with the subtle roasted flavor and hint of cocoa to it. I usually get 25% sweet and it's perfect. NorCal must when I visit.

I had their Retro Black Tea with boba and 25% sugar - tasty! Note that enjoying the sit-in area here is a little challenging. It's good to escape the heat at the tables, but there is an awkward amount of space between them. The table organization definitely maximized efficiency at the expense of comfort. Perhaps it was the blockiness of everything, but if you're dropping by for a quick pick up, then this is a great spot for the afternoon pick-me-up!
