Matcha Latte
Tina K.

Spacious Café right across the street from the pruneyard and Philz Coffee. They have lots of seating and people working on their laptops, but the place was packed on a weekday afternoon. Matcha latte was good - intense matcha flavor. Coffee was also good. Super cute inside.

Well-made drinks at this cozy little establishment in Cambrian Park! I got the smoothie and my GF got the coffee with durian. They use real durian and the coffee is also very high quality with that signature strong Vietnamese coffee flavor to it. Interior is decorated very nicely too and it was packed with people working on their laptops and studying when we were there. Highly recommend to others in the area!

Solid spot for Vietnamese coffee! The salted coffee is my favorite, super flavorful and delicious. The coffee drinks are a little on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you prefer less sweet drinks. The coffee shop is nicely decorated and surprisingly spacious, making it a great spot to study, get some work done, or just hang out. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely a nice casual spot for Vietnamese coffee!

Solid spot to do work!!! Did some work here on a Monday morning and decent amount of people given we arrived at 8:30am. There's a lot of table seating so I can see why it's a good place to work. Wasn't too loud either. The coffee itself was good - solid viet coffee but just expensive! The upgrade from a regular size to a large was over $2. So my salted coffee was basically $10 for a large! Which look I get it in this economy but damn. Still solid though

Combo Banh Mi and unsweetened Lychee cold brew iced tea.
Juliana T.

Drove 22 miles to come here to take a breath from life and do some work in this cafe as an afternoon getaway from my normal life. Phin Cafe did not disappoint. WiFi is strong. Seating is awesome and the high reaching windows brings beautiful light into this space. It's warm and inviting. There is no pressure to rush away. Got a combination Bahn Mi. Delicious! I like that they asked me if I wanted it cut so I can take leftovers home. So considerate! And I got the unsweetened Lychee cold brew tea. Now, THIS is really what has won me over! I don't like sweet drinks so when a cafe has unsweetened options, they move straight to the top of my favorites list. This Lychee cold brew tea is so flavorful! Who needs sugar? Not me! Love the ambiance, thoughtfulness in every respect, and the food/drink is high quality! This was worth the drive for today's getaway! Connection: I didn't use the wifi the day I visited, but I suspect it is excellent. Everyone around me was plugged in and working for hours. Space: The ambiance is welcoming and warm. There are ~10 tables with a tall bar style community table for varied seating and a couple sets of solo chairs for more casual "living room" style seating. I loved that I didn't feel rushed to depart so I enjoyed my leisurely hours in the cafe doing stuff and having a delicious lunch and drink. Fuel: Keeping frugality in mind, I was able to find food and drink here where I didn't feel like I was overly splurging. I'd come back here again!

Durian Coffee
Sophia H.

Beautiful, spacious cafe. The inside is nicely decorated and has a modern, urban, and warm aesthetic. There is plenty of seating, and there's a restroom in the back. I ordered a Pandan Coffee, less sweet, and my mom ordered a Durian Coffee, less sweet. I also got a bag of coffee beans. The drink was delicious. The layer of cream was perfect and the pandan didn't taste artificial. The drink wasn't too sweet or too bitter; there was a good balance. I would love to come back here in the future to try the other drinks on the menu. This is also a good spot to hang out, chill, or do work.

Matcha Flight
Rachaelle S.

I've come a couple times to Phin recently and I absolutely love it! They have phenomenal matcha, I haven't tried their coffee yet though. So far I love the strawberry matcha. Their matcha flight concept is so creative, & my friends that have tried it thought each flavor was unique. The reason I'll keep coming back here is the interior, high ceilings, big window, and plenty of tables make the space feel huge. Everything comes out quickly even when there is a line. Definitely recommend trying!

Real nice place with a comfortable ambience. Crazy crowded with the WFH crowd. Originally, I got the milk iced coffee. It was way too strong even decaf. The worker was very kind and we made me a coconut blended drink, which was delicious. My daughters love the mango matcha. They charge $.50 versus a dollar for alternative milk, which was a nice touch.

Matcha sugar cane
Hong P.

I wanted another place that offered matcha and stumbled upon this place while searching around. I went in right around when it open Saturday morning. There was only one person running everything which I felt bad and thankfully everyone was willing to wait and was patient. They offered a variety of different matcha, coffee, and snacks. They do offer flights to taste some of their drinks at the cafe. I just ordered a matcha sugarcane drink to go. Definitely need to stir or else it would be too bitter in the first few sips. The sugar cane juice gave it the little bit of sweetness it needed.

Pandan Croffle
Alyssa T.

The cafe and space has such a beautiful layout and is a great place to do work/study. I ordered the salted coffee with less sweet, which was a little bit too thick/creamy for my taste but I still enjoyed it! I also ordered the Croffle with pandan and thought it was yummy! The pandan for the Croffle was thick and super creamy :) I want to come back and try more of the menu items! :)

Iced matcha latte with oat milk
Nicole M.

As a matcha snob I was so happy to find this place. I got an iced matcha with oat milk, the color was very green and the taste was perfect. My photo isn't doing it justice. The friendly barista helped me select 2 pate chauds. My first time having one and it was great, I recommended the chicken. Lots of tables and lounge chairs for seating and a nice clean space.

Nyeesha G.

I love Phin, this is my go to spot for coffee and matcha. Their matcha is good quality and they add lots of it. If you're sensitive to caffeine, take precaution, their coffee is no joke. I could only drink half at a time or else I'm going into convulsions. The inside is a vibe. My go to is the salted matcha and egg coffee.

Egg Coffee & Ube Coffee
Natalie A.

Phin Cafe is a solid cafe for meeting up with friends over yummy drinks. I've tried both their matcha and coffee, and I would say I prefer the matcha over the coffee in terms of taste. Their drinks are on the thicker side. The ambiance of the cafe is great. At 10am on a Saturday, there were still enough seats to sit with a friend or get some work done on a computer. I recommend the banana matcha. I also recommend full sweetness. Since they specialize in Vietnamese coffee/style of drinks, full sweetness will give you the best flavor. I tried less sweet on the egg cream coffee, and without sweetness, the egg cream lacked flavor. In terms of drinks, I wouldn't say they have the best Vietnamese coffee/matcha in the area, but they're pretty solid. Overall, this cafe was nice to experience! Parking can be a little bit tricky on weekends, but there's street parking right outside of the parking complex if needed. It's also located near the Pruneyard, which is lovely if you're looking to grab lunch of go shopping afterwards.

They make beautiful drinks that taste as good as they look. I'm usually an espresso-shot kind of person, but I decided to step outside my usual box and try the Voodoo. OMG. It was so good that I seriously considered going back for another one. The Voodoo has espresso, chocolate, coconut, and sweet milk--and the combination is ridiculously good. The shop is called Barefoot, and they definitely put their whole foot in this drink!

Solid caffeine options, smaller space it's hit or miss if you'll snag a table, and alright service…read more Came here Friday morning and was in line for a good 10 mins as 2 baristas managed the line and made drinks. When my turn came up the barista was short tempered with me for not knowing what sizes the drink came in promptly when those options weren't displayed anywhere on the menu or table (note: what's shown on their menu is price for 8 oz hot and 16 oz iced, but not what the sizes are for hot). Then as she was making the drink, she had mine sitting at the counter for a good few minutes without calling my name because she was busy chatting it up with a customer, handing him a note, talking about travel plans, etc. When I asked where my drink was and that I had been waiting for a while the other barista proceeded to say that they've just been busy. No, barista making my drink was just not serving each customer kindly and equally. I've come here for years and have had good experiences, but based on my last visit, I'd come back for the quality coffee but not with a high expectation for the service and if I had a lot of time between grabbing coffee and the next thing - I was here for over 20 mins before I got my drink

We love the ambiance, the genuinely wonderful staff, and how much care and pride they put into their drinks. You can see it thru their consistency is always creating the perfect cup everytime. One of my favorite things about this place is how well balanced the drinks are. I'm especially picky about iced mochas. I want to actually taste the espresso and chocolate, not something overly sweet or artificially flavored syrup and they get it right every time. Their mocha is rich and chocolatey without tasting like syrup, and the sweetness complements the coffee instead of overpowering it. It's exactly what I want in a morning coffee. They also have delicious meaty tamales sometimes which is such an unexpected and charming addition for a coffee shop, especially alongside Miss Miggins British pasties. Those little touches are part of what makes this place feel so unique. Between the atmosphere, the staff, the pastries, and consistently great coffee this is genuinely what we look forward to as a treat.

A lot of things happened such as Covid, a major remodel in the kitchen, and a re-organization after a long closure. The Living Room in the past has been a coffee and baked goods place. Today, they are serving soups, sandwiches, salads, quiche, avocado toast, and of course fresh bakery items. Top mention to the breakfast burrito and salsa-my favorite! These food and bakery items have been developed by a renowned Chef that works with the team. I have tried everything on the menu and I really enjoyed the food, especially the soup and quiche (I don't even like quiche). The sandwhiches use fresh baked focassia bread. As for the coffees, expressos, matcha, and other drinks, to me they taste much better than other coffee places in the area. Quality fresh ground beans really makes the difference. It is a great place to relax and use the free WiFi. We have to wait and see how this place develops. All the employees have been very kind and helpful to me. The interior still needs some final touches, but is kept very clean. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you visit and bring the family. The hot chocolate is amazing.

The canvas is a creamy white frosting, the base wrapped with flowing grass icing and white and yellow flower fondant. A classic whimsical Winnie and Piglet are nestled in the grass. As you make your way to the top of the cake, there's a "Hunny" jar with overflowing honey icing spilling over the side, and little fondant bees enjoying the bountiful honey. Perched at the top next to the honey jar is a chocolate yellow honeycomb, a perfect touch to this artful cake. The cake was an absolute hit with guests, and a perfect centerpiece. Then it came time to cut the cake... which felt so wrong but also so so right. The cake cut smoothly and was impeccably moist. Inside was a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling. It was as lovely and delicious on the inside as it appeared on the outside. Infinity out of 10, can't recommend Marvel Cake enough! Great communication with Maryam, on-time pickup the morning of our event, and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the Campbell / San Jose area and looking for a custom cake, look no further!

Let me start by saying that Philz is one of my favorite coffee shops. I used to get it almost every…read moreday before work, but unfortunately, this location has gone from being great 1-2 years ago, to inconsistent, to now being consistently bad. I am genuinely disappointed by my coffee almost every time I visit. If it's really bad to the point that I can't drink it, I'll ask for a remake, but a lot of the time I don't have the extra time to wait for them to make another one. It's incredibly frustrating because I can go to the Los Gatos, Willow Glen, or Castro Valley locations and consistently get a great coffee. It doesn't seem to matter what I order or whether it's something from the regular menu or a seasonal drink, the quality at this location just isn't there. What makes it even more frustrating is that this is the Philz location closest to my house, so I genuinely want to be able to enjoy it. I don't know if it's an issue with training, consistency, or something else, but I really hope management looks into it because something clearly isn't working. I was actually talking to a friend who used to love Philz as much as I do, and she said she doesn't enjoy it anymore either. Then we realized that whenever she gets Philz in the East Bay, it's noticeably better. I really hope this location can get back to the quality Philz is known for because I would love nothing more than to be able to regularly get good coffee from the location right by my house. I'm honestly sorry to have to leave such a negative review because I really do love Philz, but at this point, someone needs to say something. Then today was really the final straw. The coffee was so bad that neither of us could drink it, so I called the store and asked for a refund. I had just spent $15 on two cups of coffee that we were ultimately going to throw away, so I didn't think it was unreasonable to ask for a refund. Instead, I was only refunded for one of the two coffees and when I called back nobody answered.
