I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink. Would get again. For the eggspresso hanoi, honestly this is what I get almost every time I come here. Always get the 50% sweetness with less ice. Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

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.

The servers were very nice and friendly, I feel like home meal, like my aunts feeding me. They offer hot ginger tea, turn on heat when I said I was cold, and keep checking on me. I didn't order drinks, will definitely come back for other dishes and drink.

Solid coffee ‍ As…read moresomeone who really enjoys the taste of coffee, Academic Coffee really did it for me. I explained my preferences to the barista and she recommended the perfect drink. I ended up getting the Pandan Latte, less sweet, and in a slightly smaller cup so there would be less milk and more coffee-heavy. Loved how she accommodated the drink to my taste specifically. The cafe is quite small and cozy, but has a spacious patio with more seating available. The parking lot is limited, so you'd probably have better luck snagging a spot on the street. Overall, great place to snag a great cup of coffee.

My absolute favorite matcha spot in San Jose!! I'm a very…read moretough critic on matcha spots nowadays and don't really frequently come back to many- but Aroma always hits the spot for me!!! I've come back multiple times and all their matcha drinks have been so deliciously perfect for my taste buds! i've also tried their che and its approved by my viet mom & aunties and that's also saying a lot haha! My favorite matchas are the jasmine matcha and banana cream matcha!! I tried their vanilla matcha and pandan matcha as well and those are great options as well. Not many matcha spots have jasmine matcha so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they sold it- I loveee jasmine tea and it's so fragrant and pairs well with the matcha-- so unique and my go-to matcha drink most days I come here! When i'm craving a sweeter matcha, I go for their banana matcha. The banana pudding/cream and biscoff crumble is so yummy and you still taste a lot of the matcha flavor too! Most of the time, cream tops overpower the matcha but this place nails the balance down! Love love love their matcha!! Service can be a bit slow because they use one iPad kiosk for orders and the workers stay in the back behind the curtains to make drinks. Every matcha is hand-whisked per order so they have signs around the store letting us know it might be a wait if busy! I do like the music they play whenever I wait for my drinks. Otherwise I just walk around the plaza until my drink is ready! :)

Surprisingly the space was pretty empty and we got a signature banana tiramisu latte and the custard cloud latte to try Loved both drinks, especially the banana tiramisu which was rich and creamy with the banana cream top without feeling too sweet or heavy. The viet coffee they use is pretty strong and does well to cut through the creaminess of the milk and cream top. The custard cloud was on the sweeter side but I really enjoyed the eggy top which had a lot of flavor as well. Such a great coffee pop up and I'll have to try the matcha next time! They also sell the cutest matcha bowls!

I was stoked to find a Salted Egg and Pork Floss Viet Cake. Not pictured, but I also ordered the Truffle Cream Viet Coffee! The coffee was very strong and in your face, as you would expect a viet style coffee. They nailed it. The truffle cream was very distinct and worked surprisingly well. The salt in the cream helped to balance the bitterness in the coffee perfectly. The Salted Egg Cake was fluffy, savory, and sweet all at once! I did not interact much with the staff, but they seem to very attentive and my drink came out in less than 3 minutes from ordering despite there being a line. That's pretty five stars to me!
