His: Coco Freeze Hers: Banana Matcha with oat milk, less sweet. I also LOVE their bac xiu- essentially a less intense normal viet coffee. Workers are fast here and there's so much room to work!
There is a small parking lot and saw a handful of spots open but it honestly is starting to look more packed on a weekday 12pm. However going in the place there is abundant seating and some people are here to do work/study. Ordered my matcha latte w/ 25% sweetness through the kiosk. The matcha was okay would order it again, glad I picked 25% over 50% because they do run on the sweeter side. Would come back to try their coco freeze!
I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. There was a decent crowd. I was there to try the famous Eggspresso Hanoi. I am having this for the first time. I was not sure how egg in coffee taste like. Surprisingly there was no egg flavor. Coffee was strong. Cocomango was delicious as well. It came in nice quantity.
This coffee has a perfect combination of egg form and Vietnamese coffee. I got it at a 75% sweet, it might be a bit sweet for most of people since i really like sweet. I would love to try other drinks on the menu next time! Its a bit pricey though. Its $7.50 for this small size. The environment is clean and good for studying or working.
I recently went to Lacaphe and tried their matcha latte and ordered on their self-service kiosk. It was a good balance of earthy matcha and creamy milk. The matcha was okay, and the drink was refreshing and well-made. The cafe itself was crowded with people even during a weekday afternoon, and it had a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made it a nice place to enjoy my drink with friends.
6/20/2026 Lacaphe was our last stop of the day, and I'm so glad we ended here! The place was packed, but the line moved quickly. We ordered the Saigon Freeze, Muoi, and COCO Freeze. My Saigon Freeze was hands‑down the best--like a super tasty Frappuccino. My sisters got the Muoi, which was really good but a little strong, and my sister's boyfriend got the COCO Freeze, which wasn't my favorite only because I'm not a coconut person. There were plenty of places to sit, and the vibe was super chill with a mix of families and people just hanging out. Everyone kept talking about how good my drink was--it really was that good! If I'm ever in San Jose again, I'm 100% coming back just for that Saigon Freeze.
TIME: Came here around 3:00 pm on a Sunday (Father's Day) was fairly busy but it wasn't overflowing as I thought. PARKING: Lots of parking inside a plaza, but could be very hard to find a space if it is super busy. PLACE: Spacious & lots of tables and chairs to sit at, you place your order on a kiosk or you can order through the cashier. You pick up at the counter, and they send a text when it's ready but if it's busy they just call your name instead. DRINKS: Lychee - wasn't super sweet since I chose 50% but great lychee taste and there's lychee inside of the drink! Kumquat - My mouth got numb after lol but it was super good, reminds me so much of calamansi. Decent place to get some coffee or drinks!
I've been wanting to try their coffee for the longest, and I'm glad that I got to finally it during their opening hours on a random Thursday that I was able to go. (On a funny note: I did not know that they were going to open another location in Fremont, so I'm definitely attending their grand opening when they DO open in Fremont. Fingers crossed that I will be able to attend their grand opening. While I like the cherry blossom concept behind it, it left me rather disappointed when it came to the service and making of the drinks. While the coffee shop felt spacious and more than enough space to accommodate everybody, it just felt rushed throughout the whole time I was there. Their drinks were another dimension. I got their EGGspresso Hanoi, which surprisingly, was not bad at all. I loved how consistent the egg batter was, and the consistency of the coffee was quite equal. I will be back to try their other drinks, and hoping that their customer service could improve just a little bit more. I know they have the potential, but being more courteous goes a very long way compared to being bland in attitude, obviously.
This place upgraded their space and now there's plenty of seating with large tables to accommodate studying if needed. Ordered via the kiosk and my order was done in about a minute. Very happy with the quick service and cleanliness of the place, I will absolutely be back. Signature Coffee: delicious and was perfectly spot-on with the sweetness I selected. Cream was light and airy which was a nice touch with the coffee. 10/10
Came with no expectations, because Vietnamese coffee is not particularly my go-to coffee drink, but wow ! their Signature Saigon (house blend coffee with cloud cream) caught me off guard with how good the coffee was - not bitter, not acidic, and had roasty notes of hazelnut. The subtly-salty cloud cream topping was delicious as well, and complemented the coffee. I selected 25% sweet & less ice, which was perfect. Also got the Coco-Bo (coconut milk avocado smoothie-slushie) - 0% sweet, but not sure how they adjust this ~ it was still sweet, as both the coconut part & avocado part were separately sweet, but still enjoyable & refreshing. One small caveat is that the avocado part is a paste so even though it's most likely house made, to me the texture is a little processed (as opposed to chunky blended avocado). I am dreaming about when I can return to get their Signature Saigon again & try their other coffee drinks.
Banana matcha latte with oat milk was good! I got it extra sweet and it was the perfect amount for me. Total came to almost $10 which is pricey, but nowadays all sweet treats are expensive unfortunately lol. Interior is aesthetic and the seats are super cute and comfy! Would consider coming again!
This is a place I'd like to study at. Married to a viet is like music to my ears every day! lol My "go to" is their Signature Saigon. Not too strong and not too sweet. Every weekend i start out with a viet coffee then a banh mi. Service is fast and it's always packed inside. People of all ages. They open early enough for me to stop by on my way to work.
Great drinks and space inside BUT horrible service. 1. first I wanted to change my drink from 50% to 25% sugar They gave me hard time even when I offered that I will pay for another drink if they can't . 2. I wanted a non-caffeinated strawberry drink for my daughter. I wanted to buy another drink with strawberry Matcha, but without Matcha they did not give it. They said it's a policy which I felt it is hard as my daughter really wanted something with strawberry either a strawberry lemonade or strawberry milk. They said they wouldn't. 3. My daughter went up to get an empty glass and the employee gave a really nasty face shrugged his shoulder on my seven year-old very unprofessional. The food can be great, but people don't know how to treat their customers it's the worst place to be at. I would request the owners to teach their employees how to respect their customers how to greet them, especially how to treat little kids.

ordered the lychee fruit tea, egg hanoi coffee, and coco mango smoothie 1.) ordered online and the tracking bar did not work. It was just left at "order confirmed" and I walked in at the time it said it word be ready expecting them to not have started due to the tracker and they pulled from fridge when I arrived. 2.) all 3 drinks tasted watered down. Not sure how early they made these. 3.) lychee fruit tea was flavorless. Absolutely no lychee flavored and taste like sugar when I ordered 0%. Paid a $1 for aloe Vera and was pretty skimpy on it. 4.) coco mango is literally blended coco milk and ice and mango syrup left at the bottom. Just so artificial. 5.) egg coffee was ok, but again watered down. Would not order online again since their tracking bar didn't work or workers chose not to update. The cups/serving was pretty big, so if you care about quantity vs quality- you'll enjoy this place. read more
I have been waiting years for the Bay to catch up w/ the Viet coffee!! I'm loyal to Phin Smith in the OC (better than Vegas imo)and had to ask others to get me grinds. I make my own viet coffee with crema at home but alas!!! Along comes Lacáphê !! It's usually super busy and I get overstimulated so I typically grab my drink and go. Recently I sat down inside and enjoyed my egg coffee for a bit. The line eventually grew. Preordering is clutch and crucial. egg coffee is perhaps my all time favorite. 50% sweetness, normal amount of ice. the perfect blend. read more

I've been craving some Vietnamese coffee and I've been wanting to try this spot for a while so here I am. I ordered their Eggspresso Hanoi. It was nice and creamy and the slight salt like taste balanced out their coffee well. I also liked the foam and I'm not even a foam person lol. Ordering here is pretty easy. They have an iPad you can order from, or you can just order from them up front. This spot looks like a great place to study. They have e a lot of tables available. The parking lot is a decent size. It can probably get lowkey busy depending on what time you come. Definitely will be back to try more drinks. Try it out if you like. :) read more
This is my second time getting Lacaphe. First time was in-store and it was solid, good flavor, full portions. With how much a drink costs, I would think that I'm getting a full cup. DoorDashed an order for my coworkers and I. Their drinks were full, but mine wasn't. Safety tape was still on. I got the Coconut. Flavor is good, but the portion is not. Suppose to also come with grass jelly. I thought, maybe they forgot the jelly. Nope. I dug around for it and they didn't forget, it was just an extremely small amount. Less ice meant remove ice and leave cup empty I guess. How much does another 4oz of coffee and milk cost? Cents. Alternative would've been to fill the space with more grass jelly. Also cheap to do. What. A. Disappointment. If you're thinking about trying this place out, purchase in-store for when they're being stingy, you can get it fixed. read more
It's been a while since we have been here so it was good to come back and try it. We noticed since the last time we came, they opened the seating area. To me, the seating area is nice and cozy with its dark walnut wood and green furniture. The soft lighting with the bulbs was much appreciated as well. The place was quite clean and you could really tell because the rest of the furniture is white/off white. Additionally, as soon as you come in, there's a nice smell of freshly brewed tea. I think this might be an okay place to get some studying/work done with multiple outlets if can get past what follows. My wife thought the decor was a bit too sterile. The music inside was also quite loud. No access to a bathroom as it says employees only. As for the service, non-existent other than making your drink and calling it out. You order on the iPad and there is no greeting or interaction. Some may like that, some won't. I was disappointed to see our drinks come in these plastic lined paper cups as it's very satisfying to see the layers of the coffee or tea and foam. We also both asked for less ice but I think that's just ignored. I understand that it means "less" volume of drink but I'm fine with a more empty cup rather than more ice. Overall, I think that's Lacaphe's drinks are fine but not top tier. The coffee is espresso shots but I think was a bit sour/ under extracted for me. The cream is good but not as thick as I think it could be. Overall, 4* for the decent Vietnamese coffee and the moderately cozy, but very clean place. read more
Vietnamese coffee is bomb! Rich, strong, and exactly what I needed. I did have a small mix-up with my order (I asked for hot coffee but got iced), but the customer service was great--she fixed it right away with no hesitation and made it super easy. The ambiance is really nice too--I love the cream and white color combo. It feels clean, modern, and inviting. There's plenty of seating, and it was pretty busy when I went, which is always a good sign. They also offer both in-person ordering and a stand-alone ordering screen, which makes things super convenient. Definitely appreciate how quickly they made it right. I'll be back! read more

Signature Saigon: kind of roasted chocolatey flavor even though I don't think it has chocolate or anything. I enjoy 8/10 Matcha Latte: Tastes premium, but nothing special. 8/10 Banana matcha: not a lot of banana but still good 7.5/10 read more

We came by during a weekday lunch time so it wasn't too busy. The space is really pretty and clean! Plenty of space to chat, work, etc. The decor here was really nice and comforting. We ordered the egg coffee and avocado milk tea to try. The egg coffee was pretty good! The egg cream top was actually really nice, a little bit more on the lighter side, but this was pretty delicious with the vietnamese coffee. The avocado milk tea, well it tasted more like a milk tea. You don't really taste the avocado in it. This drink was disappointing so its safe to stick with the coffee drinks here. Otherwise, service was nice and friendly here. Drinks were made quickly. Great space! read more
This was my first trying this place after their rebranding. They didn't have dairy-alternatives last time, so it was not good for someone like me. This place serves Vietnamese coffee specialty drinks, along with other drinks. Pistachio matcha (4/5): The pistachio was very subtle and the match was normal. Nothing too special. Will probably come try their other drinks. read more
My favorite spot for Vietnamese coffee, and they have some really good matcha drinks too. On the weekends it's usually packed, but I stopped by today and there wasn't even a line. Ordering is super easy through the kiosk, then you just wait for your drink. They also recently expanded the space, so there are a lot more tables available now, which makes it much easier to hang out. Definitely one of my go-to coffee spots in San Jose! read more

coffee is amazing but have you tried the blended kumquat salted plum? This is actually my favorite drink from lacaphe! It's the perfect blend of refreshing, sweet and citrus! They add bits of salted plum and it's so yummy For coffee, I love the Hanoi coffee, which has strong viet coffee with the sea salt foam. If you want some egg coffee, they have that too. They are always releasing some seasonal drinks as well, and lots of people come here to work as they just recently remodeled into a bigger space! Parking can be a pain in the arse sometimes but whenever I'm in the area I come here to get some delicious drinks Tip: order online to avoid lines! read more

Great roomy Vietnamese Cafe. It was interesting to find that they offer Green Thai tea which is a treat from the typical Orange Thai tea people order. The place is huge and if you want to bring family or group of friends it can support it. I see some people study here too. Lots of plug for charging or wanting to plug your laptop. Ordering is iPad menu you can tap with apple wallet or credit card. There is online order you can try if you are in a rush. Parking could be an issue if it gets busy in the shopping area. Staff seems organize and there has a speaker when announcing orders seems pretty organized and clean. Ordered the Signature Saigon and Kumquat Chia. The Saigon is pretty strong coffee which what you expect from Vietnamese Cafe. Will drink the Kumquat later but the drink looks promising. read more

I tried this place because it was right next to a Vietnamese restaurant I like. Seems like they've rebranded since the last time I was here -- I think I actually preferred it before. I got the egg coffee, which was good at first, but over time the taste became a bit too strong for me. Service was okay; English was a little limited, but it wasn't a problem. Nothing too special about the service. The interior, however, was lovely. I really appreciated the modern aesthetic -- it gave the place a nice vibe. Overall, decent, but not quite as memorable as before. read more

Long overdue review! We love coming to LaCaPhe when we're in the SJ area! This has been our to-go spot for Vietnamese coffee! My favorite is the Eggspresso Hanoi and Salted Coffee (muoi). They have a variety of unique coffee flavors and even offer matcha, fresh tea, and milk teas. I haven't tried anything else besides the coffee, but they all sound so good! I'd probably have to order another drink to try in addition to my coffee order lol. They just remodeled the shop; so it's more spacious and there are more tables to sit at. We often order online because they seem to always be busy whenever we stop by. read more

Lacaphe serves solid Vietnamese coffee. I usually order the bạc xỉu because traditional Vietnamese coffee tends to be a little too caffeinated for me, and theirs was especially delicious with the egg cream topping. My husband ordered the coconut coffee slushie and loved it as well. We both usually choose 50% sweetness, which was perfect for us. I'm excited to try their matcha drinks next time! Coffee aside, the interior is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It feels like a great place to bring a laptop and get some work done during the day. Overall, a 10/10 experience! read more

I got the Lotus with Oolong Boba and 75% sweetness. It was so creamy and unique! The drink tasted nutty and had a slight roasted flavor. It was my first time trying Oolong Boba. You can definitely taste the Oolong flavor. The boba was soft, sweet, and chewy. The interior had traditional Vietnamese decor but was still modern. There was lots of seating. The atmosphere felt cozy. You can order at the kiosk or with the cashier. The staff were so friendly and gave me some samples to try! read more

There's a tablet when you order to sign up via square. Each drink is one point and free item after 10
Are all egg and cloud creams made with whole milk? Can they be made nondairy?
I think they are all premade so I don't think it's possible
Does Lacaphe offer non-caffeinated options?
The menu has a small triangle for non caffeinated options (theres one item). You may be able to ask if they can do non caffeinated substitutes but I think everything is premade so might not be available
