Everything feels intentional. The drinks are smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Whether you're getting a matcha or an espresso, the quality stands out right away. I also appreciate that they encourage bringing a reusable cup. It fits the whole vibe of the place, thoughtful, minimal, and community-oriented. The space itself is small but super inviting. It's perfect for a quiet coffee run or a relaxed catch-up. No tips expected. They bring you your craft drink. Service +! If you're looking for a full food menu, this isn't that kind of café, but if you want really well-crafted drinks in a cozy setting, this place delivers.

I personally do not like oat milk so this factor already prevented me from enjoying my drink I ordered a matcha with cream top and even though they seem to use good quality matcha, the matcha flavor itself wasn't very strong so the drink tasted very watered down I do like the concept of them being more eco-friendly but the hassle of bringing my own cup to avoid the upcharge, in addition to the slow service and oat milk only option is discouraging me from wanting to visit again

The staff was very friendly, and the drinks came out in a timely manner. The only negative thing I noticed was that they charge extra for whole milk, but not for oat milk or lactose-free milk. I was honestly surprised because most boba or coffee shops usually do it the other way around and charge for the alternative milk options instead. I thought that was funny and something new to learn! Overall, I still highly recommend trying this place out.

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.

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.

I get that they're tryna imitate eel in that regard but I don't think that worked out too well all the food came out piping hot & I def burnt myself finished the majority of my meal and the carnivore stomach didn't feel satisfied lol like it was full volume wise but it felt like nothingness honestly would come again if I went vegetarian but I don't foresee that happening like anytime ever

Came with no expectations, because Vietnamese coffee is not particularly my go-to coffee drink, but…read morewow ! 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.

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.

Parking is a pain though, it's in the middle of Vietnam town which is always packed.

This is a pretty solid Vietnamese coffee spot which is still fairly new, located between Blue…read morePagoda and Pho Dao. The interior is bright, clean and aesthetically pleasing - it's a nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy your coffee and snacks if you have the time. Staff are always friendly and there is a self-ordering kiosk which is always a plus. So far I have tried their coconut coffee, VIP, salted cream coffee and banafe (banana coffee) and enjoyed all of them! All their coffees are strong and have the classic Vietnamese coffee taste. The one thing that drives me crazy though is the amount of ice that they add (excluding the coconut coffee which is a blended iced coffee drink).. it's really not necessary to put that much ice to where you can't even mix it until it's been sitting for a while. There should be an option for less ice but you're only given the option of regular ice, no ice, or ice on the side which isn't practical when most of their drinks have sealed tops. Using a little less ice would still have the same effect and dilute the drink as it's meant to. Just my two cents. But anyway regardless of the ice situation, this has slowly became my go-to coffee spot. As for their snacks, I have tried their calamari and popcorn chicken. Both were very good as well! The popcorn chicken doesn't taste like the typical Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but that's a given since this is a Vietnamese spot - still worth the try though.

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 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.

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!

Literally the only coffee I drink…read more If you know me you know I live life as an uncaffeinated lady. I rarely have caffeine, and if I do it is mostly matcha/chai. For me to have a coffee means it is excellent. 7 leaves is excellent. The first time I ever had 7 leaves was in Los Angeles. I don't know what branch but it had a drive through, which was lit. I was with my aunt and uncle who know I don't drink coffee, and they peer pressured me into getting a house coffee. I am so grateful they did . Creamy, sweet, with the salty cream top. Absolute nectar of the gods. If you hate sweet coffee this is not for you. But if you are an aspiring diabetic in terms of sugar consumption, then this place is heaven. I was so happy to get my signature- house coffee with boba. The boba is tender and good quality. Not the best boba in the world but solid. The coffee, ohhhh the coffee. It literally brought me back to life- I had been awake since 1 am for my fuckass day of travel and quest to get to California to get yelled at. If you're on the verge of a crash out, get the coffee. You'll probably still crash out but at least you have a delicious drink.

As always, their mobile app ordering system is fully functional and easy to use. You can order with Apple Pay and rewards points. Stopped by to do some work on my laptop on a weekend afternoon. The furniture has shown signs of wear and tear in comparison to the other locations. Most tables are rocky and have pieces of paper/cardboard to stabilize it. Countertop stools are missing from the counter area. Sprayed graffiti on the window and sticky caramel spillages outside the entrance were not cleaned up. Store has more of an ambiance to hang out with friends. Music choice wasn't disruptive. Not really a good place to do work in comparison to other locations due to noise level of other guests. There's also 4 Wi-fi networks to choose from and none of them worked except for Berryessa Square, which was super slow. Staff was friendly and quick with service. Drinks are consistent with other locations. Will be back for just picking up drinks. There's better locations to go to for working on a laptop.
