    egg matcha
    Vicky Y.

    Since I'm a huge fan of the Cupertino location, I naturally had to check out this new Campbell spot, and it did not disappoint! The interior is absolutely stunning, with plenty of tables that make it a perfect environment for both getting work done or just chatting with friends. I got the egg matcha with less sugar and it tastes balanced; you can really taste the quality of the matcha and the richness of the egg cream. However, my only gripe is that half the drink is ice, which felt a bit excessive. It's a solid four-star experience, and I'll definitely be back, though I'll be asking for light ice next time!

    Pate chaud
    Jo C.

    Pandan coffee flavor was subtle, the coffee was strong. The mango kiss was refreshing and I wished I had gotten a large instead. The pate chaud was delicious. It was layered nicely and the pork filling was good. It wasn't too salty and went well with my coffee for breakfast.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor profile of Phin's egg coffee. The coffee is strong (as you'd expect from Vietnamese coffee), and the creamy egg topping blends beautifully with it. The café itself is super cozy--I stopped by around midday on a Thursday, and it was packed! Service was a bit slow, but honestly, it wasn't a big deal. If you're in a rush and need a quick caffeine fix, this might not be the best spot. But if you're in the mood for a relaxed, cozy afternoon, it's a great place to hang out or get some work done.

    I have been to other Phin Cafes but not this location yet. Interior is very aesthetic of brown earthy accents. It is very spacious and big, plenty indoor seating, perfect for studying/working/group hangouts. I usually only try their Viet coffees since it's what they specialize best in. I was recently recommended to try their matchas from another friend who said they got better, so I got curious and decided to try them out. Overall, their matchas are on the sweet side but subtle. It could be stronger. Drinks: - Matcha Egg Cream: wish the cream was thicker and sweeter - Banana Matcha: actually pretty good, unexpectedly. Banana tastes pretty good and real. I was confused at first because I didn't know the banana would be mixed in already instead of on top. - Jasmine Milk Tea: don't recommend it. Thin tea style (using less milk/creamer), the flower is definitely floral and fragrant but it's too much to the point where it's like perfume. Has the oversteeped lingering aftertaste and borderline watered down. I couldn't enjoy it or finish it.

    Great place to work out of or have meetings--lots of people camped out on laptops. A bit pricey for what you get. Banana matcha was fine. Both flavors were subtle and subdued, I expected a bit more oomph. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Service was okay, not very friendly.

    Ube matcha (would not recommend)
    Mika D.

    Quick and easy online pickup. I initially tried their Ube matcha which I'd rate a 2.5/5, The Ube taste was extremely overpowering and artificial (like straight up Ube flavoring). However, I've since tried some of their other drinks that I enjoy a lot more. Prices are comparable to other local matcha spots.

    Classic Flight & Large egg coffee
    Sylvia N.

    I was really excited to try Phin Cafe! The flight is a good concept and also really aesthetic! I tried the Classic Flight, but none of the flavors really wowed me. It was cute that the flight came with a tiny banh pia! That was yummy. My boyfriend liked the salted coffee. We also got a large egg coffee, which was yummy. I was intrigued by the chorizo and taro pate chaud, so I had to try those! I was worried that the chorizo was going to make the pate chaud super oily, but the puff pastry they use isn't super oily so it balanced the chorizo very well. Unfortunately, because the puff pastry is dry and taro is a dry filling, the taro pate chaud was very dry. I used the matcha and pandan cream in my flight to make the taro pate chaud less dry, and that was good. Service was a bit slow, but it was kind of busy when we came! Everyone was nice and willing to help.

    I've made a few visits here and I've enjoyed each time! The staff is extremely kind and helpful. The place is super clean every time we drop by and the quality they serve is always on point. My bf gets the Pandan Matcha and I love their Matcha Lemonade. Their Pandan Waffle is also such a lovely treat to get, highly recommend!!!

    Such a cute and modern cafe with plenty of work space. They roast their own beans so that added a pleasant coffee smell while I was there! They have a wide range of coffee to chose from. I decided to be adventurous and got their durian coffee! The creme on top was sweet and has a nice pleasant durian aroma. The coffee itself stays true to it's roots, strong and sweet. I got default sweetness and it was pretty sweet for my liking. I would definitely recommend 50% sweet if you decide to try their coffee. Overall, a solid spot and friendly staffs. I'd be happy to come back and try more of their menu!

    Stopped in at 4 pm because I've been dying to try the banana matcha latte. I try to avoid caffeine because of the effects it has on me, but I needed this matcha. It was so worth it. Ordering was quick and easy. They really take their time crafting their drinks. The banana matcha latte was the best one I've had so far and I've had about 10. I especially loved the fresh banana chunks paired with the earthy matcha and creamy oat milk. My friend ordered a decaf egg cream coffee and it was presented nicely. There is plenty of seating inside the spacious cafe, but no pet friendly patio!

    Ana B.

    Amazing cafe. Ambiance is on point for those who want to bring their laptop and do some studying/work. Their presentation of Vietnamese drip coffee is worth it for the price. Looking forward to try their specialty drinks like coffee margarita and pho coffee when I want to treat myself. The WiFi password will be printed on your receipt so don't forget to request it after your purchase.

    Pretty solid spot if you're in the mood for coffee or snacks. The space is huge too and nicely decorated with padded seats throughout. I usually stop by and grab an egg coffee, banh mi which is decent, or waffle for my kids. This location serves a flight that needs to be enjoyed here, which I'd love to try one day when I'm not on the go. Music isn't super loud so I could definitely see myself stopping in and getting some work done here. Wall chargers, if you can get a seat by the wall are available.

    Tried both the pho Vietnamese coffee and the pandan coffee. I genuinely felt bad not giving this place 5 stars because everything else was great. The star deduction is only for the pho coffee flavor. To be fair, the worker did give me a heads-up that it's a 50/50 item, but I wanted to try it because it sounded fun and unique. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan. It tasted a bit sour at first, and toward the end had a strange aftertaste. Not many times have I disliked a coffee, especially a Vietnamese coffee, so this one just wasn't for me. However, love the creativity! That said, the pandan coffee was excellent. My mom ordered it and we both really enjoyed it...smooth, flavorful, and easy to drink. I would 100% return to try their other flavors, especially their tasters, because I can already tell they'd be amazing. Service was outstanding and the ambiance inside was great. Overall, I still really loved the experience and would highly recommend this spot to others! I'd maybe just say skip the pho coffee unless you're feeling adventurous!

I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ.

When I asked the last time, they did mention they stock their pastries from Manresa (if you are a fan, you might want to order a thing or two!) The service is very friendly, and I waited max only 10 minutes for my drink. Despite it being completely outdoor, there is ample seating, and while I might not recommend it for studying or working from home, this is a cute spot to catch up with friends or even read a book outdoors. The last few times I went, I got a lavender latte (and it did not blow my mind nor differed from other places), but despite that, it still fulfilled a need. I also have ordered a seasonal orange cardamom latte (only comes iced), which had subtle floral notes and a mild citrus flavor. It was delicious. I wish it came hot, but that is just preference. A great local spot! I will continue to come back if I am in the area.
