tldr: solid menu. green tea amazing. quick service! doesn't need sugar to make it better!…read more has a pretty solid menu! there isn't a lot of seating. but there's some outside! it was about 5pm and they were sold out of boba sadly. but i got the calamansi green tea. perfectly sweet and tart at 75%. im not too much of a green tea enjoyer. but it was great green tea! i would love to come again!

Update! My recent trips here have me feeling compelled to say some nice things about Haiku. Maybe…read moreit's because I've tried a lot of mid matchas lately lol. What I have been enjoying lately from Haiku: - iced Matcha Guava latte (50% classic sweet, regular ice) + oat milk - Iced Matcha strawberry latte (50% classic sweet, regular ice) + oat milk wow the matcha here is great quality and the blend of everything is solid. I normally get 50% sweet, less ice at boba shops, their 50% classic sweet is perfect in their drinks. Their ice amount is not overwhelming either. Love that they do not charge extra for oat milk! The guava matcha is my go to, but you really can't go wrong with their matcha strawberry either. Both are not super sweet at 50% and the guava with the guava or strawberry are composed well. Drinks are both not overly powerful in the flavor you choose, while the matcha is not overly bitter as well. Updating my review to a 5 :-D ---How I Rate on Yelp:--- (5 stars): Exceptional!! -- food, service, and atmosphere all outstanding. Worth going out of your way. (4 stars): Great! -- very good experience overall, minor flaws but nothing major. (3 stars): Good -- decent, acceptable, but there's room for clear improvement. (2 stars): Poor -- disappointing experience, multiple issues (food, service, or setting). (1 star): Terrible -- very bad experience, would not return or recommend.

This is a place to try if you have no dietary restrictions. I ordered delivery so I couldn't…read morediscuss an exchange for something I could eat. I asked for no mushrooms in the special instruction section but received a pile of mushrooms. Servings are large, but appropriate given the ingredients aren't filling. Rainbow noodles bowl: Looked/tasted like the fake meat was made of mushrooms. My spouse got three meals out of it and said it was ok. Braised tofu with rice: the braised tofu were fine, but the sauce was a little too oily. Even when I asked for no mushrooms, I was given a ton of mushrooms. The sides consist of a plain piece of unseasoned cooked squash, plain buttered zucchini, and plain unseasoned steamed cabbage, carrots, mushrooms.

I'm so glad to find this one as our whole family likes to eat healthy food. The also offer coffee and matcha drinks. The atmosphere feels so peaceful and friendly. They also offer Togo and this place fills up quickly during meal hours.

6/20/2026 Lacaphe…read morewas 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.

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!

Arisan has been on my list to try for a while. Usually when I am in the area, there's a line -…read moreespecially on weekends. Anywho, I came here one afternoon weekday and got a Pandan green milk tea and a corn choux pastry. It was my first time having a Pandan green milk tea, it was pretty good. The corn choux pastry was also something new for me as I've never had a corn flavored one before. Very good. Overall, will be back to try their other drinks as I heard their matcha is good as well as their salted egg cake.

Cute tea and coffee house in San Jose!…read more The salty egg yolk cake was solid, I loved the flavor of the salty egg and the soft, airy texture of the cake. I tried a Matcha Tiramisu Latte and thought it was good but not exactly what I was expecting. The matcha isn't too strong and the tiramisu part of the drink was a ladyfinger on the side in which you can choose to dip into the drink. The place was packed and busy. But still a good spot to try out if you don't mind a short wait

I reviewed the spot before, but I have to update it for one of their seasonal pastries…read more There's plenty of seating indoors and out, the service is always efficient and often friendly, and the coffee selections I've had are always on point. I'd give their drip, Ube latte, all pour overs a 5/5. It was a late afternoon so I went for a latte decided to treat myself to a pastry since I had inadvertently skipped lunch. I enjoy their gluten-free pistachio cake, but buy chocolate cookie looked enticing. Dubai chocolates are really saturating the market these days and if I'm being honest, some of the versions just aren't any good. However, knowing that the baked goods here are a great quality and based upon the look of itself I decided to give it a try. Wow! This was a perfect balance of chocolate and pistachio, made with real ingredients. The cookie had both taste a slight crunch and a moistness in the interior. For those who like to dip their cookies, dipping this into the Ube latte was definitely next level.

I tried the Lexington Latte and the PB & Jam overnight oats. The coffee didn't really have any…read moreflavor other than a regular latte, but the coffee flavor was still pretty good. I much preferred the overnight oats which actually tastes like PB&J when I mixed it up. Cute cafe and the people working here were super nice. It was crowded and it took a bit to find a table, as this seems like a popular place to just get a drink and sit with your laptop for while. Fun place to try but I am not sure if I would necessarily seek it out. They have some interesting sounding drinks but if they are anything like the Lexington, the fun flavors might not really pull through. Pastries look yummy though and overnight oats were good.

Cafe Docanto had been on my "Want to Visit" list for years after seeing the mouthwatering photos on…read moreYelp. Finally visited and so very glad we did!! * Location: Cafe is just off Alum Rock Ave in the heart of Little Portugal. Cafe has a small parking lot, plenty of street parking as well. * Interior: Snug, warm, & welcoming.! Cafe layout is efficient & practical with ordering counter/food prep area, tables for guests (some outdoor seating available as well), and TV views for local news & futbol. * Menu is concise but tasty (coffee, tea, sandwiches, sweets, soft drinks, beer, wine) * Owner is incredibly kind, made us feel at home, & described his magic to pulling espresso just right. * Food & Drink: Simple& incredibly tasty! We tried 1 ham & cheese sandwich (toasted & warm), 1 tuna sandwich, 2 espressos. Everything was even better than we'd hoped for and the mouthwatering photos we saw pre-visit were 100% accurate. Tips: 1. Cafe is cash & Venmo only; 2. Leave room to try the desserts!! Can't wait to go back & try more!

Truly a hidden gem of a place…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner and told about some of the menu. The prices range from $4-$7 and that is very cheap. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and like a European cafe. The coffee even tasted like European espresso. It was perfect. They do take card. I ordered the linguica sandwich with tomatoes and onions and let me tell you, extremely well balanced sandwich. A little acid from the juicy tomato (not watery) salt and spices from the linguica, butter, and a light fluffy but crispy roll was amazing. He delivered the food to our table one by one and I wouldn't say he was hustling but was working effectively while chatting with what seemed to be regular customers. Extremely friendly and relaxed. I think that it's nice that it's a "pay when you're ready" kind of place rather than a "pay upfront". It adds a lot to the laid back atmosphere. If we are in the area, we'll 100% come back as there's not many places that have the European cafe vibe in the Bay Area.

I was ecstatic when I saw Philz Coffee opening up right next to my house! We already have Starbucks…read moreand Peet's Coffee kiddie-corner in opposite complexes, but honestly... they just don't compare. My go-to is the Philtered Soul. It never disappoints. I also love that they use heavy cream, which adds such a rich, smooth depth to the coffee that you just don't get everywhere else. Ordering through the app is super easy and convenient, and the staff here have always been friendly and welcoming. The only downside is the parking, It can get pretty packed in this complex, especially during peak times. But aside from that, I absolutely love having Philz so close to home. Definitely a new regular spot for me!

Location of this Philz is great, service is amazing too and inside is very clean. But, I've tried…read morethis location enough times to feel confident to say that every time I order my go-to (and I literally only order this one) it literally tastes different each time. I only order a creamy cream + sweet Estatic, and each time, the flavor fluctuates (depending on all the baristas I guess). One day it'll taste super yummy, spot-on to when I order at their downtown or Sunnyvale location. The next day I order, it'll have literally no sugar or hardly any cream. Very odd that they don't have a consistent formula down for this one drink. Also, if I get a large, it'll feel watery, too. SUCH a hit or miss and very disappointing to be so inconsistent!!! Literally never know what type of drink I'm getting.
