Liked this place and also barristers are very friendly Environment is so beautiful Will recommend highly to my friends colleagues and family members I live in SF but will find some time to visit read more

The girls are legitimately the sweetest humans on earth smiling, fast, and somehow immune to spilling a single drop while looking like they just stepped off a sports illustrated shoot. Asked for an extra splash of condensed milk and got it with a wink that could power the espresso machine for a week. read more

Ambiance is 100% hot. Service is great since all waitresses are well dressed for the occasion. Tips are well delivered for the Service provided. read more

This place is a joke, Bruh I'm so fucken confused. Mind you it's 11 am on a sunday, It's dark af from the outside and as soon as I opened the door it was packed full of men, it's a secret strip club or some shit. The half naked lady waved for me to closed the door. Like lock your door if you're gonna do weird shit. There is no coffee here. I also sat in the car shocked and saw a man walking there and also closed the door immediately and walked away too. I'm sure he was just as confused as to what was going on. read more

Sheesh talk about great service with a smile . I love this place. The vibe is perfect for that stress relief to just relax . You can get your coffee hot or cold here . The environment is hot but in a good way. You definitely won't wanna leave that's for sure . read more

This place should not be listed as a coffee shop. Women waitresses are semi-nude and clientele all male. List this appropriately as what it is, sort of a male club where they may serve coffee. read more

It's a fun place to sit back, relax and enjoy. I have been there many times. They are friendly. Service is good. Nobody eats food here. I drink Vietnamese cold coffee and ice tea. read more

Bottomless coffee indeed! Might really stretch the idea of what a "cafe" happens to be since it's more about the lack of panties and the public lap dances ($10 a piece during "happy hour" at this place, 2-3 minutes per customer). Tiffany and Jennifer have been my favorite girls lately, but I have fun no matter who happens to be there. And tip Nam nicely! read more

Es muy agradable y tranquilo Un ambiente para disfrutar una buena limonada Y la atención es excelente read more

Sin duda el mejor lugar para una buena taza de un delicioso té caliente y gracias a las amables meseras . Que tienen un gran servicio. Y la actitud no se diga. Atienden muy bien como si me sintira en casa gracias un error ambiente. Con aire fresco y agradable read more

This coffee shop has a Great Coffee fresh juice an awesome and environment is comfortable and very beautiful

Cool place to chilll with a friend, one of my favorite haunts. Drinks are always good, girls are friendly.

Victoria might blush here, and her Secret would not be a secret here. Frederick from Hollywood would feel proud. The "Uniforms" by the cute waitresses would make some professional girls envious. This is really a little dive, Ma and Pa Quan Nha, or Vietnamese Cafe. No decorations, just flat screens and a smoking patio. The girls sit on a little stool waiting to refill your tea or coffee. The ambiance is better in a dive Pho place., except for the Help, of course! It serves no adult beverages, but whatever is served is definitely served by Adult women, you can see that pretty clearly. The patrons are mostly borderline low lifers, smokers, card players, Viet and Hispanic men looking for a cheap thrill with buddies. Ca Phe Sua Da is the standard $4. Try the avocado shake. read more

First time going to a Vietnamese coffee shop. I knew what to expect but I was still a bit disappointed. I'm too short to look past the counter, where they were all hiding behind. I guess I'll just drink more tea so they'll come refill it a few more times. The only downside is that I'll have to use their disgusting bathroom more often. Definitely a very chill spot for card games and such... easier to win money from my guy friends since they were too busy :P read more

TIP: get iced coffee, sit down, turn your head non-stop i would never come here but my coworkers brought me here during lunch and it was a blast. It's pretty much the perfect place to spend your 30 minutes after your 30 minute lunch (assuming you have an hour lunch). cheap drinks (don't serve food), huge flat screen tv's, huge hooters... i dont think u can beat that during your weekday work lunch. other than lunchtime, there's really no reason to go here unless you wanna bring friends here to see for the 1st time. read more

Update: Originally their outdoor patio was enclosed but is now an open area; they removed the surrounding fence and put shrubs in its place. This would get five stars if the visits were more consistent. Some days are meh, some days are wow! This cafe has mainly guy customers. Nothing wrong with that but sometimes it would be cool to see couples and/or females-only patrons. Their coffees are on the sweet side. The comp tea was okay, not too strong. The place is not that big, however there are usually 2-3 waitresses working. Smoking is outside only which is good for some people I suppose. The crowd is mixed-age and mixed-economic status. read more

Coffee and smoothies are okay but the servers are awesome. A great way to relax and chill.

This past month or so has been a bit of an eye opener for me. I was recently introduced to the East San Jose Vietnamese Cafe scene, and this review represents my second UYE of this kind, and my fourth visit to this kind of place. Most of you who read this probably know what these establishments are like, but for those who don't...There are four main components: lots of drinks (non-alcoholic), lots of TVs, lots of smoking, and scantily clad women. Make no mistake though, this is not a strip joint. Of the four places I've been to, this one rates by far the highest in...ummm....scantily clad women. They were very....ummm....attractive, and uh....more....ummm....scantily clad than any of the other places I'd been to. There really wasn't much left to the imagination....so to speak. If you're thinking of Hooters as a mental comparison, you might say Hooters women dress like nuns compared to Nguyen Expresso. Unlike some other places, smoking is in an outdoor side room only, and the inner cafe area is smoke free, which is probably a blessing for non-smoking patrons. The sua da tasted like sua da. Certainly nothing wrong with it, but frankly, the only reason to drink more than one is to....uh....call the waitresses over for refills. I had at least two sua da refills....and a few refills of the free ice tea...Funny, wasn't really thirsty either. To go to the bathroom, you have to pass the cash register where most of the waitresses congregate in between serving the patrons. Drinking so much meant, naturally, that I had to use the restroom and pass by the cashier counter....at least...oh, I dunno, maybe three or four times. If you're in the mood for some nice scenery, and hooters just doesn't seem to be where your mind's at, I think Nguyen won't let you down....so to speak. read more

I was excited to go there since we love coffee shops (and sexy women) lol When we walked in we just sat anywhere and waited to be helped (it was super hot in there) I asked if they have a menu and she said no, all they had was Strawberry smoothie, avocado smoothie, tea and espresso. She said everyone in there has to buy a drink or still gets charged for being in there since they're wearing sexy outfits. $8 a person but the girls are not doing anything to entertain you they actually just hang out in the back and can't even enjoy what you're supposed to be looking at. I tried to get the other girls attention but she ignored me. But after we paid and we're walking out, the one who ignored me had the nerve to ask us for a tip. Not cool lady. read more

I've been introduced to the world of coffee shops... I have no begun a search... a sojurn if you will... . . . They have stronger coffee..... and lots more milk. ;D read more

My cousin called me up earlier this evening, demanding that I drive to San Jose for what he had named "Cultural Awareness Night." The plan was to grab some Jollibee for dinner, then end the night at this Vietnamese coffee shop. I go to graduate school for Ethnic Studies. My cousin is an engineer. Interested in just how far this rabbit hole went, I obliged. I'll cover my opinions on Jollibee in another review. Right now, I just want to talk about coffee. Nguyen Expresso is tucked away in a nondescript location, reminiscent of the Korean noraebangs I used to go to in college. The inside is rather spartan as well. Small round tables and chairs are scattered throughout, along with some old school top-down video game tables and some arcade game booths. I could imagine it being very cramped at peak hours. Flat screens line the drab, bare walls, rigged with Comcast, so you can watch whatever you could have watched by yourself at home. One television was hooked up to a DVD player, but instead of playing a movie, it played a burned CD of "Blue" (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. There are no menus. Although it is called "Nguyen Expresso[sic]," I did not spy an espresso machine. I'm not even entirely sure they serve coffee there. Green tea is complimentary. It is very hot and they serve it to you in glasses, so your fingerprints are immediately singed off when you try and take a sip. I wrapped my glass in a napkin, which almost helped. They also serve smoothies there. I don't recall what the flavors are, because I couldn't hear the waitress over "Da Ba Dee Da Ba Di." I think I heard her say "jackfruit," so I ended up having a jackfruit smoothie. It was sub-par, at best. Regardless of how negative my review is attempting to be, I am going to go back. Vietnamese coffee houses are the next big thing. I highly recommend this place as an alternative for a guy's night out... or even "Cultural Diversity Night." Ignorance is a cancer. read more

I was looking for the Cafe with the best looking girls so I went to 4 of them on one afternoon , and this place has one advantage over the others as the Cafe Girls are bottomless there were 3 working on this afternoon 1 Asian 1 Hispanic and 1 that i am guessing may be Middle Eastern all with no panties the Asian Girl was the least friendly with fake Boobs the other 2 were friendlier and looked to have natural Boobs that I find more appealing , this place is small and smokey with shady homeless people in the parking lot of this strip mall , coffee is $7 read more

One doesn't come here for the 4 dollar coffee nor the 5 dollar smoothies. You come here for the eye candy and club type atmosphere. Perfect place to play poker on the weekends. You feel like you are in Vietnam when you are here. Ideal place to chill and relax with the guys. read more

After scouting where we should take pictures for my friend's wedding shots. She wanted to check out this place she heard about. It's a darkish place where the Asian male drink Vietnamese coffee and served by lingerie clad waitresses. It was like a scene out of a dark, dirty movie. This place made me giggle but really not my scene. read more

I like this place - there seems to be a tradeoff with these coffee places between the quality of the drinks, and the attractiveness of the girls, and how little they're wearing, etc. etc. None of them is perfect in every category but the balance here is the best I've found so far. This place seems to have three regular servers of varying levels of beauty, all reasonably friendly, all underdressed. The coffee is strong and good, the free iced tea is my favorite of these places, it's actually quite nice. It's not smokey. The customers are only mildly creepy. It's a good place to kill some time if you're in the area. read more

I enjoyed this place I got a Vietnamese coffee and it was great along with a complimentary iced tea two ladies were serving both are beautiful I will defiantly return to this place again , but the only reason I rank 4/5 is that was very crowded and It was hard to find a seat read more

I like this coffee shop because it's a cool place to hang out and chill. I usually come here to play scratchers and super lottos. The waitresses here are "okay". Some of them are friendly and some of them are not very friendly at all. Also I like it here because it's a no smoking coffee shop. Recently, I had a very bad experience with the lady boss! I paid my table's drinks and decided to stay a little a longer to watch the football game. When I walked out of the shop, she chased after me and said that I did not pay for the drinks. WTF! I was embarrassed in front of the other fellow customers. It turns out she forgot to marked my table that I had paid for it. She was freaking busy chatting on the phone when I paid her. I told her I've already paid her. She later realized that I've paid for the coffee and apologized to me. I was so pissed! Anyways, I've learned my lesson. I will not paid my coffee in advance and probably ask her to give me a receipt or something to prove that I've paid for the drinks before I leave. read more

Ive only gone 3 times and I really enjoy going the ladies are super gorgeous , the lady in the front I'll call mama because I don't know her name is super friendly and nice. For sure will be going back for more coffee. read more

Lets see, coffee... check, women... check, old creepy men... DOUBLE MOTHER F*CKING CHECK! To be honest the coffee is not what makes this place A-OK. Let me paint a picture for you guys, Imagine starbucks that had all VS models working as baristas. Thats what you call a business model(pun inceptionized)! Forget Click-n-Motar, its all about T-n-A. Take that author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"! read more

NGUYEN EXPRESSO This is one of the first Veitnamese coffee shops and the one that "started it all". The girls here may not be the hottest, but they wear G-Strings and barely-there bikinis, so if you're looking for ASSets and SKINtology, this is the place to go. Service is friendly...keep drinking your tea so the girls keep coming back to fill your cup ^_^ read more

Man the girls are hot here in the coffee shop and I haven't beet to one in hella long.

Go there to play and hang. The owner will make you share your table or move to another table in the middle of your coffee or conversation. The working girls are typically cold and rude. A girls wear revealing cloths but cold, moody and do not know how to spell "smile". read more

I was in town to try out some local coffee... Walked in and was caught off guard by the girls in bikini or nude?... Don't know if they actually serve coffee but if they do, let me know if it's good read more

This is now the worst coffee shop in town. Owner is mean, has a really bad attitude and the experience has gone way downhill. Also heard from some of the workers that she says really nasty things about many of the customers who think she likes them...terrible person. Coffee is only so, so. Not worth going here when there are so many better places with good attitudes. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Victoria has no secrets here, this is a truly a mans club. Vietnamese cafe been served by waitress that forgot their clothes home. Coffee sucks but okay place to meet with your male bodies and get served by this exotic coffee shop girls. Indoor/Outdoor for smoking customers. read more

I come for the coffee....really.... actually the coffee is really good. the service is good. the girls are cute read more

My friend talked up this place like it was f**king Vegas. Maaan... I've been to better "Juicy" bars in South Korea. I give this place two stars instead of one because the service was decent enough. read more

Well, the coffee was so good I ordered two. Even though the girls weren't my cup of, uh, espresso.

I love this place........This is the only Vietnamese coffee shop that don't allow people to smoke.
