Really enjoyed the Vietnamese Che here. I got the Che ba mau. I like that you can customize the sweetness level. The shop is clean and modern. The service is very fast. My only complaint is there doesn't seem to be a trash can inside the store.

Ochē desserts are amazing! I make sure to stop by every time I'm in Viet town. The decor is trendy and the staff is very sweet. They are always happy to answer questions and make changes to the drinks. I've tried several of the desserts because I am usually here with my family so we order many of them. My favorite one is D4 Avocado Dessert. It comes with avocado puree, avocado chunks, pudding, jelly, and coconut milk. I always get regular sweet and it is perfect. Not too sweet. Very refreshing and delicious! D5. The Thai Dessert was also good! It has more fruits with a coconut base. Also refreshing and delicious! D9. Pandan Soy is a pandan lover's dream! Overall, every drink I've had from her is done to perfection. They get busy, but they make drinks fast. Next time you are in the area, give this place a try. It is 100% worth it!

This review's for my mom who said "This shop is so good, not too sweet right? Ngon Quá (super tasty)." She's been with her friends a buncha times now (TFTI?!) and this was her first time taking me (TFTI AGAIN?!) since I was in town. We got her favorite, the Avocado Chè and the Durian Chè, both of which I also found very incredibly delicious. She's tried other items in the past and said that the other chè are just as good but these two stood out the most. I agree, these were so, so good. We got 50% sugar (usually shops don't really have that option so MAJOR plus to Oche for making that a thing) and the overall Chè to Ice portion was perfect. The shop is small, cozy, and cute and service was fast, clean, professional, and great overall. We'll definitely be coming back and trying out more items from here. Highly recommended spot! Overall rating: Chè: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Shop Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

Che thai
Natalie T.

CHE THAI! get that as the perfect fruity dessert after a filling meal, they don't skimp on the toppings!! comes with lychee and the other classics, you def can't just use a straw, at that point open the lid and use the spoon to get all the goodies out. I got regular sweet and thought that was perfect. I never really go out to buy che, but this place caught my eye and saw lots of ppl outside, that's when you know it's good. I'm not a fan of the che with lots of beans, so che thai is perfect with the fruity toppings:)

Che Thai

Super quick service! Not too many seats but not an issue as it's not super crowded. Che Thai was yummy,50% sweetness is recommended.

Taro Soy Pudding
Helen C.

Pulled up around 7:30 PM on a weeknight and it was completely empty, though a couple more groups trickled in as the night went on. It looked like most folks were there for the che desserts, but I was actually there for the soy pudding! Seating is comfortable and plentiful if you want to catch up with friends. Taro Soy Pudding (4/5): The soy pudding has a perfectly smooth and silky texture, but isn't very sweet on its own and the soy flavor is pretty subtle. The taro is almost a thick, creamy layer over top and provides most of the flavor. Not mind blowing, but definitely pleasant.

Oche Desserts in Vietnam Town San Jose is such a nice spot for Vietnamese che. I tried the avocado che and pandan soy pudding, both were really good but I definitely like the avocado more. It's super creamy and the condensed milk sweetness went so well with the avocado, my most addictive summer combo back when I was in Vietnam and I'm not gonna lie. The pandan one is lighter but I don't like the pudding taste that much, but still tasty tho. The shop is really pretty, modern and clean, and not too crowded when I went. There's enough space to just sit, chill, talk with friends or even do some study (I saw some people study/ work there). Service was quick too. I'd come back again for sure, especially when craving something sweet in Vietnam Town SJ. Highly recommend if you're nearby.

Thai Che, egg soy pudding, matcha soy pudding
Francie M.

I gotta come back here when it's hot and not raining bc these deserts would be so refreshing! We ordered - egg soy pudding: plain pudding with egg creme on top. I always eat the egg pudding on Vietnamese coffee with a spoon so this dessert just enables that desire more! - matcha soy pudding: the matcha flavor could have been much stronger it was pretty bland - Thai Che: coconut milk mixed with a variety of fruits and jellies. I tried fresh jackfruit for the first time in this - so floral! Why would anyone try to make it like a fake pulled pork when they can have it straight Logistics: - indoor seating only - plenty of strip mall parking outside

Julie H.

The Che is really good, I love that you can adjust the sweetness and you can even have the ice on the side! The service is also good and the girl taking my order was super sweet and kind. But the sad thing is this establishment has the potential to be really cute, it has really cute interior and decoration however the cleanliness is not so great. I wish they paid more attention with restroom, tables and floors. Other than that we enjoyed our sweet treat!

Che Ba Mau $7.50
Amie N.

Overall, I felt that the price was fair. The Che ba mau had all the jelly + bean toppings mentioned, but the mung bean scoop didn't taste fresh. I would've wanted more equal ratio of jelly to beans, I had mostly tiny red beans. I got 25% sweet, which was perfect considering that the beans are presweetened. Great service, I will definitely come back, just wish the beans tasted fresh.

I seldom ever have the opportunity to try out chè. Yesterday evening after having dinner at Saigon Kitchen in the same plaza, my friends and I walked over to Oche for desserts. I ordered D2 off their traditional menu -- "Three Colors" while my wife ordered "Special Coconut Flan" off their modern menu. I love that you're able to customize the sweetness of your order here. You're able to choose 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. Additionally, you can also choose the amount of ice you want in your dessert, including ice-on-the-side. I really enjoyed the variety of beans and jellies in my dessert. I ended up not adding any ice into my dessert and felt like that was the right decision, as it kept the coconut milk from getting diluted. For coconut lovers, D8 is the honestly the perfect dessert, as it includes flakes of fresh coconuts as well as toasted coconut garnish on top. Although it was extremely busy, the desserts were quickly made and we were able to pick-up our order in no more than 15 minutes. I would definitely stop by again for desserts.

Rei K.

I came here after a Vietnamese meal because I was craving chè. The place seems fairly new, and the interior is very clean and well kept, though seating is quite limited. One small inconvenience is that there's no trash can inside the shop--you have to step outside to use it. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit pleasant. For the chè, I ordered the House Signature, without durian since I'm not a fan. It tasted exactly like the chè I've had in Vietnam--if anything, this version suited my personal taste even more. We also ordered the Egg Cream Soy Pudding because my partner loves pudding, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I seriously debated coming back again the very next day just for this. I'd love to try their other pudding flavors next time. House Signrture - 4/5 Egg Cream Soy Pudding - 5/5

House Signature
Felicia C.

Came here super excited about the Che here since there was good reviews, but in comparison to other Che I have had, this one just did not hit the spot. I got the House Signature. House Signature - I really wish there was fruit or something to spice this one up. The jellies were great and I liked the taro, but for the price, this dessert was super small. The grass jelly was eh and there was an overwhelming amount of pandan jelly. Overall, I wouldn't come here again. There are better places for Che!

Although my go-to is the honey matcha latte, you can honestly just throw a dart and be pleasantly surprised each time (I've done this about 5 times already). This time, I got the yuzu matcha tea. SUPER REFRESHING! Tart, citrusy and with the earthy matcha, the drink was a great pick me up. I recommend getting this if you can't have whole milk and wanna try something new! My partner got the soft serve and the flavor of the matcha cuts through very well- you won't be disappointed if you're a matcha lover. The line is long, but our orders always come out fairly quickly (around 10 minutes) after we order. I think it's long because others are debating what to pick at the kiosk. But alas, good luck finding parking! My partner and I always have to park on the street side of the plaza and walk over because we can never get a spot.

The store looked kind of dead and did not have a lot of tables + seatings except the long bench. There's plenty of parking spaces since it's in a plaza. We got 2 of the creme brulee matcha swirl due to the hype of this drink. The cream was extremely thick and just for my preference, it was too much. The matcha was not as strong to balance the sweetness and decadency of the cream. We ended up letting it melt a bit so we can drink the matcha without having to eat chunks of the cream. If you like your matcha thick, then I recommend this drink! It was just not up my alley unfortunately.

I opted for ice on the side because I wasn't having my che until later, but unfortunately the ice froze into one big chunk in my freezer so I might just have them put the ice in the drink next time. I think price might be the only sticking point. The che is about 50% more expensive than Bambu or other Vietnamese dessert spots. I can absolutely see why their products are more expensive and totally think the quality of their dessert drinks surpass Bambu or similar dessert cafes. At the same time I have to acknowledge that I can order a che ba mau at another dessert spot and have my craving satisfied for less money. For me, this makes Co Ba a special treat that I wouldn't be able to have all the time.

As for the inside, it's a spacious place with plenty of seating which is nice, although the music feels a little loud.

Mango cheesecake - This was AMAZING. My first bite tasted like heaven. The flavors worked together so well and the cheesecake wasn't overly sweet. The mangoes were ripe and sweet. Biscoff shaved ice - I enjoy Biscoff in general, but this didn't compare to the mango cheesecake at all. It was too sweet and more icey/watery. Chamomile tea drink -This paired nicely with the cold desserts. It was warm and refreshing at the same time. I almost never order nor see chamomile tea on menus so this was cool. One note: there was a water station available, but the cups were SO small. Maybe 2-3 gulps of water per cup. I wish they were bigger. Overall, I enjoyed coming here for dessert after our big dinne I think this is a nice addition to the Campbell.

Is Izumi matcha worth the hype?…read more I have been to Izumi matcha over ten times at this point and remember first trying it in their original location in the silver creek area of San Jose before the matcha boom. Prior this place was unique and delicious, and really hit a spot. I believe that now with the various matcha spots around, it may not have as much as of unique selling point. Their tornado matcha is good and sweet, and is a great dessert however in my personal opinion, their traditional drinks are not standouts. Last week I went with a friend and ordered a matcha oat latte with a double shot, and while I tasted the matcha, it was grainy and didn't really have any depth. I wouldn't say I would avoid going here, for a matcha option and to get caffeinated for the day. It is still an option but I feel like it wouldn't be fair to say it's worth driving over 30+ minutes here. As a note too, this location can get extremely busy in terms of parking! The plaza is popping with heavy hitters. Service was fine as they do the self service kiosk with pick up being less than 5 minutes (no big lines), and the store itself is small with no seating outside but plenty of plaza seating outside.
