It also comes with three additional toppings that tasted like pudding. You also get to choose one cream top and one topping of your choice with it. This was so creamy and tasted like a dessert. I would do 0% sweet as the toppings and cream make it already quite sweet. Also tried The coconut coffreeze which reminded me of a drink from dutch bros but stronger in the coffee flavor. The sunset guava tea was refreshing but could use a stronger tea flavor because it mostly tasted like syrup. The matcha cloud was very milky and doesn't taste like matcha at all. If there's one thing I'd get here it's be the milkteaway or other plain milk teas, because I wasn't super impressed by the matcha or fruit tea. The workers are very nice but they seem understaffed so you will have to wait a bit for your drinks. The place is casual and well kept. They have games available and are open late everyday, making it a fun spot to hang with friends or family. Overall: 3.8/5

I had my glass mason jar with me and was able to use that for my beverage, but I would've loved to buy a glass to support the business, I did buy a glass straw as well because I didn't have one with me today. On top of all of that the Hojicha latte is delicious While you wait you can shop the organic and natural foods grocery shop that's connected, it's a small shop but they have such a wonderful selection of items I was able to pick up a couple of things that I've been meaning to get for reasonable prices! So cute and cozy. The whole place reminds me of your local market that we just don't get a lot in the city anymore! What a great find

The cream top was so addicting, I wish they would keep it for more than just seasonal. We also tried the seasonal pear matcha. Really unique and reminds me of the hot pear juice I would be forced to drink as a kid. The strawberry matcha was really tasty! I enjoyed that the strawberry didn't taste that artificial. All the drinks were the perfect not too sweet. The barista that made our drinks was super sweet. The place is located inside a bigger shop I believe. There are plenty of seats. I want to come back here for drinks and studying! Overall: 4.3/5

Less sweet/25% sugar for both. You can also order at the front desk as well. Love the interior with the plants. Couple of seatings and tables around. There's one unisex bathroom. Only waited about 5 minutes for the drinks and enjoyed the drink there. Both drinks were good, but I think the matcha one could have been a bit better with a bit more sweetness? And the Jasmine Milk tea one, I could have done it without sugar and more ice - it was still sweet to me. Maybe cause I'm so sensitive to caffeine. I liked the crystal boba more than the honey boba. There's a free parking lot connected to their markets.

The inside of this spot is surprisingly spacious, which is nice as it is a perfect way to study. Their Iced Vietnamese coffee is easily my favorite along with all their other coffees. The foam is to die for! My only minor gripe is the sweetness options. They only offer 'light sweet' or 'easy sweet,' which sound pretty much identical and left us guessing how much sugar was actually in our drinks.

RANG Final…read moreThoughts: 4.50/5 Review for Rang. They have weekly matcha pop ups at Rose Tea Lounge. Original location is in Elk Grove, but they are here in San Jose area. Kind of hard to see and find them? given that there aren't really any signs posted outside. I perhaps wouldn't have known about it if my friend didn't tell me about it. Drink: Guava Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This is their matcha with house-made guava puree at the bottom and topped with silky guava foam. Their foam is so nice and creamy. Felt very light and just thick enough. Silky consistency that mixed well with the drink. My friend noted that they make it fairly sweet, so I opted for the 25%. This was still quite sweet for me. Each component is sweet itself, so when you combine it, its mostly just sweet. No tartness to cut any of it. Perhaps the guava has something to do with that. Guava is a sweet fruit in general, so I seemed to expect as much. The matcha itself had a nice color to it. Very vibrant. Light bitterness. Lovely consistency overall. I like each component separately and I like them together when it's fully combined. Strawberry Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This was my friends drink and I also really liked it. Had to try it for my review purposes. Per their Door Dash description, this is their matcha latte with their home-made strawberry puree and topped with velvety strawberry foam. There really wasn't much of a difference with this one and mine besides the fruit. His was slightly more tart than mine, which is something I like. Again, the drink itself leans more on the sweet side, so any sort of tartness would be nice to cut some of that. Matcha color is amazing. Nice and vibrant. Lovely silky consistency. I like the ratio of fruit flavor and matcha. Some places will make it just taste like milk, others have an imbalance of flavors. This one was just right for me. --------- Quality: Ceremonial Matcha and whisked to order We saw them whisk the matcha to order. Not really a display cooking kind of counter, but they do do all of that in the front where the cashiers are. You are able to watch if you so choose. I do like the matcha that they use, so it seems like a high quality one. That or it's because they aren't batching their matcha like other places. I understand that batching doesn't make it lower quality, but something about whisking it fresh is always better. Price: Average Will depend on the drink, but the prices are around $7 to $9. For our drinks, average around $8.25 per drink. Quite a common price range for a cup of matcha. This one was made well, so no complaints here. There was no upcharge for the oatmilk, which is always a plus for us. Service: Whisked matcha fresh No interactions today. We ordered directly on the kiosk and then just waited for our drinks to come out. Something that I like is that they whisk and make the matcha in front of us. Kind of hard to see, given my height and spot that we were standing, but they do whisk it in the front for us. Of note, they use this hand towel or cloth to wipe the bowls. Not sure how sanitation does with that, but I digress. Just an observation for today. Ambiance: Quaint Flower Café Vibes This place is giving very quaint flower café vibes. I would totally work here if I could work from home or if I needed to study. Space is incredibly spacious on the inside contrary to how the outside and plaza area is looking. Little dim lit inside, but that might be from the little lighting that's hitting through the windows given the angle and evening sun. Location/Parking: Small Plaza This place is like a pop-up/collaboration with Rose Tea Lounge. There's really no label for it outside of the storefront, but when you go into the café and on the kiosk, you can directly order from them. Kind of interesting how it works and I probably would have never seen it if my friend didn't bring me here. Location is not the best as it is right in a smaller plaza on the side of Story Road near the 101 freeway. At least they chose an area that is slightly less saturated. Vietnam Town is really close by and they really do have too much going on over there sometimes. Parking lot is also small, but it seems to work well with the smaller plaza size.

I can't imagine if people asked for regular ice, it would be 5 sips maximum. This is the typical Vietnamese style cafe where if you want no ice, they fill your drink less and if you ask for less ice, it's pretty much 90% ice. They have samples you can taste on the table which is really neat as it gives you a perspective on many flavors you have not yet tried. Side note, the fish tanks had fully green water. Not strong algae but just a deep green water like you see at Lake Cunningham. It was a bit unappetizing to look at. Water changes need to be changed for the sake of the fishes.
