    A Vietnamese café that serves breakfast and lunch. The service was good. Note: this is one of those places where the servers are scantily clad. I was dropping off my brother's family at the San Jose airport and wanted Vietnamese breakfast. This place came up and it looked good. I didn't really do any research into it so I came here. A lot of other places were closed so I figured what the heck. I got a Vietnamese breakfast that came with eggs, a fresh loaf of bread, some sausage, and some pate/ butter. No complaints here. I thought the food was good. The Vietnamese coffee was also solid. The obvious draw here were for men, so basically the vibe was a dude hang out with sports and news going on in the background. They have their own lot, so there was plenty of parking as well.

    Vietnamese Sandwich

    We were on a road trip heading to Tahoe and needing to stop and get some coffee and a bite to eat. My wife found this place and thought the food looked great. As we're pulling up to it, I'm asking her if she's sure its a cafe and not a strip club... Pretty funny to open the door and see a couple beautiful women in lingerie. They were super charming and friendly to our family and loved our daughter and dog. The coffee was delicious and strong, just what was needed for getting back on the road for a couple of hours. The food was really delicious too, we got a Vietnamese sandwich and some spicy egg dish. Both were great, far better than what we have around home. It was a very pleasant experience and the coffee and food is worth it.

    This is a nice place to just unwind and have a Vietnamese coffee or smoothie and just catch up on your work. The complimentary tea is always a bonus, got to get your antioxidants in. The servers were very attentive and check up on you regularly. They worked collaboratively, were very approachable and had a great attitude. I got an avocado smoothie and it was the perfect consistency, I had to get another one like DJ Khaled. The owners are very accommodating and showed me great hospitality. I had the wonton soup and shaking cube beef rice topped with a fried egg and it didn't disappoint. They do have Vietnamese sandwiches, which you can never go wrong with. I would recommend the owners to add some more appetizers maybe wings, garlic fries, etc. however; I can appreciate the simplicity of their menu. The atmosphere here is very laid back, and I would highly recommend this place.

    Hidden little gem! The food is delicious The girls are beautiful and Leslie(? I think) was great waitress. Definitely not your everyday cafe. If you're looking for something to snack on and watch a game this is the place.

    Dine-in: Combination Sandwich (with Chinese sausage!) re-upload.

    The newest Vietnamese cafe in the Bay Area; grand opening was just on 12OCT19. Typical sit-down cafe serving coffees and various fruit drinks. So far, food is limited to combination or sunny-side up sandwiches, and a homemade beef stew with baguette which was quite good! On Sundays, besides American football, I reckon they also have futbol, international sports, and female sporting events - a nice change. Also a nice change is a variety of upbeat background music instead of constant hip-hop and rap at other cafes. Also, this seemed to be wholly family run. That is, it's entirely family operated from owner to staff. Only one am aware of, nice to see. Supporting small and mom & pop businesses, yeah!

    Spicy and Savory Sauce

    I've been coming here a few times for the coffee and friendly staff. I like how outgoing and approachable the ladies are here. Really sets the atmosphere. Today I came after a workout and wanted to try their food menu so I ordered the wonton soup. The broth was subtle and flavorful. The wontons were cooked nicely and the meat had flavor not bland like most places. The noodles are firm and flat. I like that they add pork rinds in it. Also comes with a cold glass of tea. I wanted to try something different so I added some of the sauce in with it and then a flavor bomb was created. I spoke to the owner Tran and she mentioned that her mom was the chef and I told her to give her my compliments. As they say nobody cooks better than momma! Will always be back!

    Bo xao nui
    Tyler N.

    Shelter in place boredom warning - I'm at home pondering the food I'd like to eat and reminisced over a visit to LuvCafe from earlier in the year. My friend had Bo xao nui (stir fried beef over penne pasta) while I had wonton noodle soup. The beef pasta dish was very aromatic, effervescent smell of beef and sesame oil right off the wok. I didn't try any myself but judging by the way my friend attacked his food, it seems to be a quality offering. The wonton noodle soup was paradise. Outside of the obvious from the photo, this dish includes fried pork skins (they're the curly object that resembles fried wonton wrappers or fried calamari strips). The wontons were flavorful and the broth had the right amount of sesame oil to give it just the right touch. Can't wait for them to reopen to try the rest of their food menu.

    Keno & coffee...
    Phan T.

    I came here today from OC to have coffee at Luv Cafe and the coffee & the girls there didn't disappointed me. The owner Tran and her girls were nice & friendly. They have alot of TVs for sports & foods too. I came here to played keno and it was fun. Thanks Luv Coffee & the staff. See u guys again...

    Ask the Community - LuvCafe

    Does this place serve other drinks besides coffee?

    Coffee, smoothies, juices. & you get pretty girls with great attitudes if you stop them and converse with them! They work off tips, so if you slide them a couple bucks every time, you will be their best customer

    Do they accept card?

    No, they do no but there is an atm on location.

We made a reservation for a party of two on a Sunday at 3:15pm to celebrate my birthday! It's $70 per person and we paid a deposit when booking. There is a pre-set tea menu with savory and sweet snacks and your selection of one beverage; tea, lemonade, iced tea. Mimosa and champagne is also available for an extra charge. They do ask if you have any food allergies or restrictions. Ugh, everything was soooo cute!!! The servers were also very sweet and friendly. The beverage selection was a bit overwhelming for me and I didn't know what to choose! One of the servers recommended us the mango iced tea, which was actually really good! However, I wish I would've gotten a hot tea, so I could use the cute tea pot, cups, and the hello kitty shaped sugar cube lol. I didn't think the snacks would be enough to fill us up, but we ended up having to pack leftovers! We really enjoyed the savory items; my favorite was the cucumber sandwiches and the egg salad cone! Out of the sweet items, I enjoyed the strawberry tart and strawberries and chocolate whipped cream parfait; which weren't so sweet! I'd definitely like to come back and order a hot tea next time so I could use the tea set hehe. This really fulfilled my inner child!

This is also located inside of the mall, so it is nice to be able to walk around. This is slightly far away from where I reside but I would love to come back and see what new and different treats they have to offer! I would also love to visit the Bow Room!

Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.

My favorite drinks are the tie guan yin dark roast oolong milk tea and the woody black milk tea. I can't choose my favorite between the 2 because they're both so good! The flavor of the tea really sings and is enhanced by the jelly. I recommend getting the drinks less sweet so that the tea flavor comes out more.

I guess I should have studied the menu a bit more before making assumptions. Nonetheless, the matcha drink had a nice mascarpone creamy foam top and rich matcha flavor. The lady finger was crispy and light perfect for dipping into the matcha drink. If I'm ever in the area again, I would pass on the Matcha Tiramisu Latte and try their Strawberry Matcha drink instead. That might be a better option, knowing there will be another layering flavor other than matcha.
