whenever i get a drink from tram cream coffee, i feel like i'm getting electrocuted. any drink will keep you awake!!! i got the double matcha for the first time at this location. i tend to have low expectations for matcha at places that specialize in coffee, but this was honestly solid. i ordered ahead online and was in and out in a minute, but based on my brief glance around the store, the establishment was clean and aesthetic. the staff was attentive as soon as i walked in. read more

Tram Cream Coffee - double matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This is a pretty solid Vietnamese coffee spot which is still fairly new, located between Blue Pagoda and Pho Dao. The interior is bright, clean and aesthetically pleasing - it's a nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy your coffee and snacks if you have the time. Staff are always friendly and there is a self-ordering kiosk which is always a plus. So far I have tried their coconut coffee, VIP, salted cream coffee and banafe (banana coffee) and enjoyed all of them! All their coffees are strong and have the classic Vietnamese coffee taste. The one thing that drives me crazy though is the amount of ice that they add (excluding the coconut coffee which is a blended iced coffee drink).. it's really not necessary to put that much ice to where you can't even mix it until it's been sitting for a while. There should be an option for less ice but you're only given the option of regular ice, no ice, or ice on the side which isn't practical when most of their drinks have sealed tops. Using a little less ice would still have the same effect and dilute the drink as it's meant to. Just my two cents. But anyway regardless of the ice situation, this has slowly became my go-to coffee spot. As for their snacks, I have tried their calamari and popcorn chicken. Both were very good as well! The popcorn chicken doesn't taste like the typical Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but that's a given since this is a Vietnamese spot - still worth the try though. read more

Egg coffee is the best thing to get here. I go out of my way to come here because the coffee is strong. They don't give you much, but if you follow instructions by waiting a bit to let the ice melt and then shake it up, it's delicious. Let the egg cream mix with the coffee. It's a good morning booster. Parking can be hard at times. On busy mornings it takes 15 minutes for an order. Busy Horrible lot Let it sit, melt and enjoy read more

The coffee was very under whelming. It was aesthetically pleasing and the coconut/ube flavor was tasty for a sip or two but it seems as though the coffee was 1/4 of the way filled and the remainder was just sugary cream. If you don't care about your teeth, definitely try this place. I also had their banana cream coffee and that was actually disgusting. It had a very bitter aftertaste to it that didn't come from the coffee. There was nothing to this except a "pretty" drink. I also noticed that the drink didn't have any ice and wasn't filled all the way. You could see in the picture that it's mostly bubbles towards the top and this was before I took a sip. I wouldn't try again or at least maybe try something else but definitely wasn't worth it for me. read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Coconut and ube cream coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

If you want really strong viet coffee, this is the place to go to. I also think they're fairly priced compared to other viet coffee spots. I appreciate their quick service and their points system! It's definitely a place to hang out with friends and you can study there but I'd recommend noise cancelling headphones if you do. read more

Egg coffee was ok but they really load these things up with ice to the point there's mostly ice instead of drink. The egg cream was tasty but it was almost near impossible to get to because of all of the ice. The coffee is strong though I got in maybe two sips for $6. I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Egg Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

3.5 stars. Didn't try the food Service: one self-serve kiosk and also ordering available at the counter when there's a line. Kiosk recommended if you're unsure what you want because their printed menus don't have descriptions of the drinks. Self-serve water available. Ambiance: clean and well-lit. Tables nicely spaced out for comfort Ordered: White bear - 4/5 strong hojocha taste (a plus in my book). Slighty too sweet for me, but definitely good flavor Vietnamese white coffee (extra shot added) - 3/5 a bit sweet for my taste. Condensed milk lingers on your tongue read more

Spacious, clean, and comfortable café. I ordered online and picked up in person, the process was super easy and my order was ready right on time. I usually get the Vietnamese coffee, and it's my go-to at Tram, but I definitely want to try their other drinks. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. Tons of parking. read more

This place is spacious and they have a kiosk to order your drinks or snacks. My absolute favorite is coconut coffee! It's the BEST! I have tried other drinks they have but nothing beats the coconut coffee. You can upgrade for few dollars more for a large! Tbh a large is huge that you can definitely share with another person! The service was fast and when your items are ready, they'll call your number. read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Drinks ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This Tram Cream Coffee is the closest location to home so it's only natural to make my visits here more often than not. Drinks I've tried: *Egg Coffee *Coconut Avocado *Tiramisu Cream Latte *Coconut Coffee *Creamy Ha Noi *Lychee Tea *House Milk Tea *Ube Cream Coffee *Sesame Cream Coffee First things first, nothing compares to Tram's egg coffee!! That is the OG and nothing could ever reign more supreme than that IMO!! Coconut avocado is pretty top tier as well. Everything else is good or doable, depending on the item. With that being said, the house milk tea is doable but not recommended. I wouldn't come here to satisfy any kind of milk tea cravings when there is so much better elsewhere. Banh mi is good but I've had better banh trang tron. 3.5 stars for this Tram location. read more

Love the interior of the cafe, the music is a bit loud and I don't know if I could do work or study here but probably good for hanging out with friends. I got their egg coffee and haven't stopped thinking about it because of how well the coffee flavor was. It's not on the sweet side and the coffee is pretty strong. I did wait about 10 mins during a busy weekday afternoon for 2 of the egg coffee orders, but not too bad! Will be coming back :) read more

What I ordered: -Coconut coffee: very good and refreshing. I ordered it with 125% sugar and that was perfect. - Saigon coffee: very strong. Wished I added more condensed milk or increased sweetness level. -Calamari head: very good! Crispy and lots of fresh basil. Overall solid place if you want a sweet treat or snack. read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Calamari head - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Hubs and I are always on the search for tasty Viet coffee and snacks! Tram opened its new location in San Jose, and we were very excited to try. The first time we went, I got the coconut coffee and I wasn't super impressed, but my husband really enjoyed his coffee. So after a while, we decided to go back. The second time I got the White bear and WOW! It is SO yummy. I think it's really unique and brilliant to have a hojicha and Viet coffee combo - it's just the right amount of Viet coffee strong-ness with enough of that creamy sweet but not too sweet. It's such a treat to have and I really enjoy the different layers of flavors that the hojicha provides. Also, the consistency and texture of the drink is so smooth. Highly recommend. My husband however got some other item and he said the coffee jelly was SUPER bitter, and so he didn't really like it but still finished his drink. We recently went back because I was craving the white bear again, so I ordered that and my husband got the coconut one again. He liked it much better than his previous drink and I loved my hojicha again although I think it was yummier the first time, so there's something to be said about the consistency. We also decided to order the soft fried tofu and MAN. That was delicious. I would get that snack again and again! It's hot, crispy, fresh, and actually REALLY filling. Just kind of expensive, but the portion size is fairly decent. All the workers are always really nice when we go, and recently it was decorated very nicely inside with holiday decor and pretty trees and some fake plants from Ikea. Drinks arrive fairly quickly if they aren't too busy, and if there's something wrong with your drink, they're happy to adjust it. read more

The drinks was so good . Two of my friend order bananas with coffee they did like it . It was our first time trying it . I pass by many time but did not went inside but now today I went inside . I would come back again try food and different drinks read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Running Dragon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Looooove their coffee! Today was my first time going into the store as my co worker has brought a drink to me in our office. They have an order ahead feature however I didn't see an option to make a drink less sweet which is a nice option to have. I arrived a little before 1pm on a Tuesday and it was moderately busy. They had a kiosk to order but I needed to ensure I had a drink made with less sugar so I approached counter to order. The lady was nice and patient and I asked if I could have a drink with less sugar and she said yes. I like that she helped me instead of having me go to the kiosk. I actually prefer the human interaction when ordering. I ordered a cream coffee and the sesame cream coffee less sweet. This is my second time having her cream coffee and I absolutely love it, it's strong yet just enough sweet at the same time and I really enjoy the coffee jelly pieces. It's something so new to me in a coffee drink and I love it. I want to definitely try their other coffee flavors! I recommend their business! read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Cream coffee size small. Soooooo delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Food/Drinks: 3.5/5 I've had this place a couple of times from varying drinks like Egg Coffee to refreshing drinks like the Running Dragon and they are all pretty solid. Their drinks are a good size and is a good choice if you are in the area and want a quick refresher. However, there are better tasting ones out there. Service: 4.5/5 Most of the time you will not order through a person but rather through a kiosk, so there is little to no interaction. They are quick and efficient. Ambiance: 5/5 Great atmosphere to just sit down and sip on your drink while chatting with your friends. Beautiful space with comfortable seating and is a great spot to study and get work done. read more

Came for dessert and was super excited to see egg coffee as I hadn't had any since Vietnam. They don't have any decaf options except an avocado smoothie which I had a taste and it was good! The egg coffee was creamy and mixed with very strong coffee. I probably should've waited for the ice to melt as it was very strong and finished it too quickly. read more

Super happy to find out that Tram Cream Coffee opened a location that's a lot closer to the Milpitas area! Parking is a lot easier here than at their first location in Viet town. Their area is not as big, but still has plenty of tables and outlets if you want to study or chill here with friends/family. They have a self-ordering kiosk as well as people taking orders so the line usually goes by super fast but you do have to wait a bit for your drinks to come out. I do wish that their menus were a bit more descriptive, such as listing what's in the VIP drink, but the workers are very open to answering any questions! As for what I ordered, my go-to is always the Egg Coffee with Oat Milk (50¢ charge). Tram is known for adding a hefty amount of ice, but that's just because their Vietnamese Coffee is pretty concentrated and strong. To best enjoy the drink, it's good to wait a bit to let the ice melt! Tram's Egg Coffee is definitely a drink that you sip over time, but chug it if you need that quick caffeine energizer! As for the drink itself, I love how they already include coffee jelly as a topping to add that bit of sweetness to the drink. Their coffee is a lot more on the strong, bitter tasting end and it isn't as creamy as Lacaphe's egg coffee so it's a great option for people with no sweet tooth. I love my egg coffees on the creamy, sweet side so I have to admit that I like Lacaphe's more but Tram Cream Coffee is a close second! Definitely check out this new location! read more

Came here to get work done. This place specializes in Vietnamese coffee drinks, but although not limited to coffee. It was bit crowded when I went and only a few seats left. Green Gem (3/5): It tasted like a solid matcha and lacked any liquids. It was very caffeinated though read more

Good to have another Vietnamese Coffee Spot nearby. This place is solid and they have big cups! Usually our favorite is the coconut coffee. We haven't stumbled upon anything else that we like just quite yet. I've tried the VIP and Egg Coffee before but I just felt the coffee was too bitter and overpowering over the sweetness that is supposed to be in the drink. Open early and I live close, I'll be back! read more

Glad one opened near my friend's house! The plaza is busy though, with the Vietnamese supermarket next door. Parking can be tough during busy times. I usually get the egg coffee- comes with coffee, milk, egg cream and coffee jelly. Just a fair warning, the coffee amount is like 2 shots of espresso and they put half egg and some milk. You want the ice to melt. Otherwise, you can drink it all in 2 sips. Most other coffee shop dilute it more with a lot more milk and/or condense milk, and or water (Americano). I get it though, it's a very little amount for $7-8 ish. But it's damn good though! I also tried the coconut avocado. It was probably a 700 calories drink but it was tasty after a bowl of pho. I love this place. I just let it melt and drink it over 2 days. Still strong and tasty the next day. read more

I don't have a proper baseline for Vietnamese coffee, but both my SO and I enjoyed our drinks! I got the Egg Coffee while SO got the Saigon, less sweet for both. We did take the advice of some of the Yelpers who suggested to let the drink sit for a bit (~10 minutes) before drinking, so I was not as bothered by the ice situation (though I can understand why others are). The drink was strong, perfectly sweet (just enough to counter most of the bitterness of coffee without masking it), and creamy. Will happily come back, especially as the days get warmer, to get another caffeine boost here. read more

Beautiful ambiance. Tried the ice cream coffee with no substitutions. It was a rich, creamy drink that hit you right in the face. Couldn't finish the whole thing but others loved it! read more

The workers are pretty nice. I put my ordered in before they open to pick it up at 7:15 am but waited for a extra 15 minutes. I got the VIP egg coffee and it was very strong that I got a headache. read more

Love that they made another Tram Coffee closer to me and they even serve food too! The inside is very modern with classic wood furniture and fake plant fixtures at every table. There is a kiosk when you walk in menus in line while you wait. You can either order with the cashier or kiosk. When it gets busy though, I do anticipate the line process will take a while since it's only a single file line. Got the VIP drink and it was SUPER strong to say the least. I had to wait for the ice to melt so it can be a little dilute from the strong coffee that they make. It also has coffee jelly, condensed milk, and egg cream to top it off to add more flavor! It is so strong that the coffee stained the straw, lol. Also got a ham & pate banh mi and it was pretty solid. Came with everything that a banh mi comes with and most importantly the bread was fresh! Their hours are also very nice considering it is a coffee place! They open 7 days a week (7am-8pm)! read more

Tram Cream Coffee had their Grand Opening a few days ago. It was very crowded and packed and they had give-away prizes! So I turned around and decided to try again another day. Thursday, today, I finally got to try them out. A decent sized place with inside seating of benches and table with chairs available. No option to sit outside. House music playing throughout the shop. Though, the volume was a bit too loud so it's hard to carry on a conversation. 1 kiosk and cashier ordering system. Egg Coffee: phin-filtered coffee, milk, egg cream, & coffee jelly (4/5). This was a strong and bold coffee flavor, which I loved. The egg cream was creamy and decadent. The coffee jellies were a nice touch. The only drawback was the size of the cup and that it had a lot of ice in it. They offer some intriguing drinks that I'll be back to try. read more

This plaza is always nuts and really hard to find parking. Came here on a Sunday at 8am and loved that there was no traffic and lots of parking. My go to is the coconut coffee (blended) the perfect hot day drink. I tried the avocado blended and it was good as well. I wanted to try something new this time so I went for the green gem since I love matcha and saw that there was coffee in it. Not my fav from here. It felt like there was way too much cream that I couldn't really taste anything else. Not sure about the rice bits in there either. I'd stick with their other bestsellers read more

Tram Cream Coffee - Green gem - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Small shop tucked in a busy plaza, so parking can be tricky and wait times a bit longer. If you like your coffee bold with a strong caffeine kick yet still creamy and slightly sweet, this is the spot for you. My family and I had pho next door and decided to stop by for a quick caffeine fix. We're fans of Vietnamese coffee, so we had to sample a few options. We ordered: - Egg coffee: 4/5 - Coconut coffee: 4/5 - House special milk tea: 3/5 - Saigon coffee: 3.5/5 Overall, the drinks were flavorful and strong, though they do pack a lot of ice, which means you don't get as much coffee. That's pretty common, but if you prefer more drink, I'd recommend asking for less ice. read more

Cute and new Tram Coffee location, next to the Dai Thanh supermarket. There's a self-order kiosk and we were able to get our drinks in under 10 minutes. We ordered the coconut coffee and creamy Hanoi. Coconut coffee had the sugar options of 50%, 75%, and then 125%. It weirdly skipped 100%, but there was also another option for more sweetness or less (not sure what the difference was in sugar level but more/less sweetness?). I like my coconut coffee on the sweeter side, so I got it with 75% and more sweet. The coffee itself was super strong, but when mixed and after it melted a lil, it was the perfect amount of sugar. The creamy Hanoi was way TOO strong. It literally tasted like they seeped it, added too much ice, and that's it. Can't even taste the condense milk, cream, or any milk. I get that you're supposed to let the ice melt, but even after waiting 20 minutes to drink it, it tasted pretty much the same. I would recommend the coconut coffee only. read more

I'm a huge fan of Tram Cream Coffee and I believe this is their first signed franchise location! The cafe is located in the same plaza as Dai Thanh Supermarket which is a Vietnamese grocery store. Dare I say, one of the best grocery stores in San Jose. I have tried many, many drinks from their menu but I always steer my way back to their egg coffee and blended matcha drink (Matchahaya)! I also enjoy their milk teas! Keep in mind that the coffee is super strong and concentrated so it's meant to be sipped over a long period of time. So if you enjoy strong Vietnamese coffee, this place is for YOU! read more

I have been to all of their south bay locations and I am glad to see they opened another one! I went during their soft opening. Easy to order from the kiosk. You get a number and wait for it to be called. They were training/learning. Space was bright and clean. Good amount of seating! I got the White Clarity. There was a lot of ice (typical of viet places). The drink itself was good! The matcha was smooth and the drink was creamy and you can really taste the matcha. They give you condensed milk on the side so you have to mix it in yourself. If not, it wouldn't be sweet. Quality / taste is there. Would like it more if it was a little bit sweeter and if they could mix the condensed milk in the drink first. Would get it again as I really enjoy their matcha (I usually get their coffees) I got my bf the tiramisu cream latte and it was strong like their other locations. Would recommend waiting for the ice to melt a bit or just drink it slowly. They offer some snacks, but I haven't tried it yet. Would like to know if they will expand their food/snack options in the future like the other location. read more

Tram coffee is just so good!! I always said that I'm gonna try something different but always end up with egg coffee. Lol. I love the taste and it keeps me awake throughout the day. It's strong and delicious . They were busy when we got there so we waited for our coffee, no worries because there are plenty of chairs to sit on. Friendly staff and the place is clean. Plenty of parking as it's nice to other restaurants. read more

Read somewhere that parking was hard, but this place is actually inside a plaza with a supermarket, so although parking spots may be limited there are opportunities. Came for their 9am grand opening and boy, by the time I arrived at 8:40, the line already spread around 2 corners and I was at the way back of the plaza. At 9:30, finally someone came and told us that they would start to assign numbers to everyone in line. The number I got was at the very much near 200, which meant I can only get BOGO free offer. There's no free drink coupons to give away at all. The staff took the spinning wheel to the line for us to spin for small prizes but not everyone was offered the chance. The first time they walked pass us and the second time I had to ask for it. They gave away raffle tickets and did the lucky draw every 30 mins. Someone came with a phone to collect customer's contact information which i mistook it for taking the orders and regretted giving away my info. When i reached almost the entrance someone with an iPad started to take order. During the whole process, I was there from 8:40-11:30! It was really too long! As for the drinks. I ordered an egg coffee and an orange peach tea. Both orders I asked for less sugar and no ice. I got half a cup of both orders! That's not what I was expecting! For $6.50 a drink you only get half a small cup of content! They both tasted good with strong flavors but it translates to rather high prices. The interior is simple but roomy. Not sure of the real setup as most of the furnishings were moved around to accommodate for the grand opening. I'm interested in the menu's food offerings as they are not common to me. Hopefully I will give it a try in another time. read more

Tram Coffee has finally opened up near the Dai Thanh Supermarket! It's convenient and a nice stop after shopping. The parking lot, however, can be crowded and sketchy at times. We ordered the matcha with condensed milk and coconut cream coffee. The matcha wasn't too bitter but the condensed milk didn't mix well in the cold drink. I finished my drink rather quickly because the cup was mainly filled with ice. The coconut coffee was good but the regular lid isn't ideal for mixing. Drinks are decent overall but can be pricey. They also offer snacks at this location which primarily includes street food. read more

The Vietnamese coffee was not good. It was too strong and there was no balance of flavors. I also ordered the white Vietnamese which is supposed to be lighter but it looked no different from a normal Vietnamese coffee.

I was excited to try this place. I was a first timer. I ordered off a kiosk which was quick. My drink came with-in 5 minutes. I came around 8:30am and it was fairly busy. I ordered a small Salted Cream Coffee. It came in a cute cup. It had a lot of ice, thick and the coffee was very strong. It had little jellies in it but can barely sip them out because the thickness and ice. I added water to water it down. It's a cute coffee cafe. They had other snacks and drink that I'd like to try so for now, I give this drink and 3 1/2 stars. If you like your coffee strong, I'd recommend checking this place out. read more

As an artist, I enjoy refreshing hydration as I sketch, so one of my tendencies is to purchase a sweet drink before sitting down to draw. I bought a tiramisu latte and headed home for the afternoon and situated myself at my drawing desk. Before I made a drawing stroke, I took a sip and was pleasantly surprised by the combination of sweet and salty that resembled a tiramisu cake. There was some light salty foam with some bitter coffee flavor and a touch of sweetness. After a few minutes or about five sips, the taste was gone and I looked at my drink to see it 3/4 full of ice. I had barely made any more strokes to my drawing before finishing the drink in a few minutes. The flavor and quality of the drinks are good, but the drink is mostly ice. My siblings said that too as they finished their drinks in a few minutes. I understand that Vietnamese coffees have high caffeine content so the serving size might be small, but if the portion size is small, perhaps the price of it could reflect the portion size instead of being about $7 for a few sips of coffee. This is probably outside my comfort zone for spending on drinks. The restaurant itself was nice, clean, and welcoming and seemed like a popular spot to catch up with others, but I also care about the food/drinks I consume at restaurants. Additionally, I know that this place specializes in coffee, but a few more options of noncaffeinated drinks or drink options lower in caffeine than Vietnamese coffee would be a good inclusion for those with weak stomachs/ digestive system disorders. read more
