Sometimes you just want a light and healthy dessert, and Soypresso delivers with its Japanese-style tofu pudding. I am absolutely obsessed with it. The texture is so incredibly silky, and the accompanying mung bean and azuki bean come in their own little containers, which lets you choose how much you'd like to add. I feel $9 is a fair price for something like this that's made fresh and organic. Unfortunately, it never lasts long as I inhale them as soon as I get home. The storefront is easy to miss if you don't know what to look for. Keep your eye out for the sign. There is limited parking in the driveway as well as on the street, we've never had trouble getting in and out quickly for our fix. I've also tried the black sesame soy milk, which I love adding to coffee and oatmeal in the mornings! read more

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to try their soy milk drinks and tofu pudding, and everything was delicious. If you're into low-sugar soy milk, this is definitely the spot. I highly recommend the tofu pudding, it's incredibly light, not overly sweet, and perfectly paired with mung beans and red beans. We also tried the strawberry and black sesame soy milk, both of which were great. Service was super quick, and they even let us sample different soy milk drinks, which was such a nice touch read more

Tucked away in an assuming building near 280 is a lowkey shop creating delicious housemate soymilk in many flavors. The owners offer a tasting of many flavors before we purchased - we tried the plain soy milk with light sugar (classic), the black tea soy milk (strong and hearty), the matcha soy milk (interestingly more jasmine-y than grass-y), the rose soy milk (very subtle), and the strawberry soy milk (delicate). All drinks were fresh and not too sweet. I purchased the plain soy milk with light sugar and the black tea soy milk which were my favorites, but at some point I'll have to go back and try more, along with their soy pudding and a few other items. Each soy milk can be purchased in a large or small I think. Logistics: - No seating - Limited street parking in front only, try parking a block or two away and walking - No sugar added plain option available - Bring bottles back for recycling discount read more

I've lived in San Jose for 20 plus years and didn't know this store existed. I've been getting soymilk from Saratoga next to Lion market and as far away as the Japanese market in Mountain View. Just bought different types. No sugar types and pudding. They are really good. I'll be back. read more

Love this mom and pop soymilk shop! Our favorites are strawberry and corn soy milk! But taking #1 is the Japanese style tofu dessert with azuki! The younger girl who works here is super nice and helpful. They always allow free samples before you buy! Inside is a little cramped, but it's part of its charm I think :) read more

US Soypresso - Bascom - Matcha soy and black sesame! - Organic Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

What's not to love about a family-owned business?! This place makes all of their Taiwanese soymilk from 100% soy and does not include any artificial additives! I never knew soy milk could come in so many different flavors! The only ones I've ever tried were vanilla and chocolate from the grocery store lol. These flavors are not overly sweet and the texture is rich and creamy. Besides soy milk, this shop also has high-quality tofu desserts! We tried: * Plain / Light Sugar * Black Tea * Matcha * Strawberry (seasonal) * Black Sesame * Adzuki Bean We fell in love with the Black Tea, Matcha, and Strawberry! So much we ended up bringing a few large bottles home with us haha. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Literally, I couldn't find where to enter but it is just around the right corner of the sign in the front. Pro tip: Call ahead to make sure they have the flavor that you want in stock. The soy milk here is very fragrant. I love strawberry and the strawberry soy milk made me think of a strawberry tofu pudding I had from a grocery store before with subtle sweetness. The black sesame is thicker and more creamy. My family said that it had more black sesame flavor than soy milk flavor. The soy milk here is good but pretty expensive. If you bring a clean small bottle back, you get .50 off and if you bring a clean large bottle back, you get $1 off. Ambiance: The workers are nice and let you try samples before you buy. There are a few parking spots in the front. read more

I've always wanted to check this spot out and now I'm here. This place is a small lowkey spot that's easy to miss. The people who own it are very kind. They let me try every flavor. My favorites were the corn and black sesame soy milk. I ended up buying a small black sesame soy milk for later. Try it out if you like. :) read more

A whole store just selling soy milk and some other soy products! Who knew we needed one but now I am glad we do. Note that it's hard to find without a lot of signage so pay attention. The lady inside was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She generously let me and a couple of other customers try several types of soy milk. I settled for the cocoa milk and soy pudding. I am not a fan of the beans the pudding came with but the pudding with honey was perfect. What a delightful store...I am a fan. read more

Pulled up Yelp to find a fun little treat in the area and found this place! A bit of a hole in the wall - it'd be hard to stumble upon this place since it's in between a tire shop and some homes(?). Street parking just in front or you could probably park right in front of the store or off to the side but it's unpaved. They were super friendly and generous with samples, offered us to try anything as soon as we entered! We tried the black sesame (one of their best sellers), matcha (not too strong of a matcha flavor in my opinion), corn (my favorite- sooo delicious and slightly sweet), red bean (loved the whole red beans in this one). I loved how smooth and silky and thick the soy milks were. Will definitely be back to get more corn soy milk!! Delicious if you love soy milk. You can bring back the containers for .50 off (small size) off your next purchase. read more

Amazing soy milk and soy pudding dessert. Tried this place on a whim and I'll keep coming back! I highly recommend the corn soy milk for a sweet soy milk blend. The Japanese tofu dessert was a hit with my friends as well as my not-too-sweet dessert loving parents! read more

I got to sample a bunch of their flavors when Soypresso was at a recent Taiwanese American cultural festival in SF; I tried the chocolate, apricot kernel, and rose, and I had wanted to try the corn and matcha too, but those had already run out. Ultimately we decided to buy the cucumber and apricot kernel. The cucumber has a refreshing taste that somehow works even though it is not a combo I would ever have thought of for soy milk and I don't know what apricot kernel tastes like normally, but I did feel it tasted somehow a little savory and also floral in a way that made it more interesting than standard soy milk. They are pretty pricey for a pretty small amount though, but I did like it better than I usually like soy milk. I hope to see them come up with even more unique flavors. read more

Great quality - soymilk is thick and flavorful. Their tofu is yummy! The shop is a small place, it's mostly the kitchens in back. There's some refrigerators with product you can choose from pr speak to the clerk. They were nice and very helpful read more

A really cute family owned business with creamy fresh soy milk! We came right before they closed, and the owners were so kind and welcoming. They gave us so many samples; so we got to try all the unique soy milk flavors. The soy milk is on the thicker side, so I like to dilute mine a little. But it's so flavorful and creamy. read more

Love the soy milk in this store and the woman who works here is so friendly! Considering this is closer to my house and the service is so good, I will definitely be returning. She immediately poured out samples for me and was more than happy to offer me different flavors when I asked to try them. I ended up purchasing the cocoa soy milk, light sugar soy milk, and adzuki bean soy milk. The adzuki bean was my favorite out of the three, and I used the light sugar soy milk in a matcha latte that I made at home. This is the perfect pick me up that isn't too sweet and is healthier than milk tea! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning to give this place a try. We were offered samples to try any flavor we'd like as soon as we entered! We ended up purchasing the corn and matcha - was pleasantly surprised by the corn! Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're a fan of soy milk to try something different and unique. These soy milks are definitely on the thicker side so it feels heavier if you've never had it before. read more

Very cute tiny shop. We were offered samples right when we walked in and I definitely wish the corn milk was in stock. Only thing that was unfortunate was that we were offered samples of so many flavors that were already sold out. Settled on red bean and it tasted refreshing and sweet. Very personable service and I'd definitely come right at opening bc it seems they sell out fast! read more

US Soypresso - Bascom - Red bean soymilk - Organic Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

Please support this soymilk shop! It's a very tiny shop and they make the soymilk in house which you can see right when you walk in. They also offer very generous samples to taste the ones you're interested in. I tried the matcha, black sesame and adzuki bean soymilk. Ultimately I purchased a small adzuki bean soymilk for $7. The cashier told me that that was their "sweetest" one. I don't think any of the soymilks are sweetened with anything, at least I couldn't taste it. I actually wish there was sugar in the matcha and black sesame because it was extremely light in flavor. Nevertheless, all soymilks were extremely light, smooth and creamy. SO DELICIOUS. read more

I got the soymilk, azuki bean, and sesame bean flavor! They're all pretty good with azuki bean being my favorite. I appreciate the friendliness from the guy working there! He gave a lot of samples to try before ordering. 10/10 I would recommend if you want to support local business with fresh soymilk. You can also get a discount if you bring back the bottles, which is a nice incentive. read more

Great soy milk and made in-house (you'll see to your right as you enter)! The soy milk tasted so fresh, smooth, and not too sweet. It was my first time coming so I got to try a few samples and ended up leaving with matcha and black sesame. The lady was so patient and friendly. While we were there I also saw the fresh batch of roasted black sesame seeds come out. Very kind and small establishment with high quality soy milk! I will definitely be back to get a larger bottle. Also bring back your bottle for a little discount on your next purchase. read more

We were curious and checked out this small shop. Parking was okay because there weren't a lot of cars around opening time. The ladies were super friendly and explained what flavors they had available and what was different for certain flavors. They were happy to let us try samples. We bought 3 small bottles (matcha, strawberry, and the regular light sugar). If you bring back the empty bottles they provide a small discount on your next purchase. read more

A small shop in an unassuming strip mall which makes by far my favorite soy milk. It's super thick and luscious with almost the consistency of lassie. This is the place that convinced me that soy milk can be something not thin, watery, and overly sweet. They also offer bottles with additions blended in like red bean or black sesame! For each, they have a light sweet and no sweet variant. I would recommend the light sweet ones because I feel they have just the right amount of sugar to complement the fresh soy bean taste without tasting like straight sugar water. The tofu pudding is my favorite item in the store, with some of the softest, silky tofu topped with sugared beans. It's a super simple dessert but very refreshing and comforting. Everything in the store is pricey but I think it is worth the price given how much more I enjoy this over supermarket soymilk/tofu. I always stop by when in town so I know I'll be back shortly read more

Come right at opening if you want a shot at all their flavors. I don't recall what time I arrived, but they only had 1 corn milk in a small and light sweet and black sesame in the large size. I was hoping to get multiple small sizes so I could share with my family and ended up with 2 larges for myself. I can't speak mandarin so I wasn't really able to communicate, but the lady who works here helped directed me to the fridges after I stared at the menu and hand gestures go a long way, y'all. Prices were a little high for what the product is, but the flavors were on point. I'm hoping to come back again (earlier) for more flavors. read more

Delicious soymilk. Recommend the original plain soymilk. Would like to try the corn flavor.

The small little place is the perfect spot to grab some fresh soy milk and tofu desserts. Definitely for pick up only and I really enjoyed the corn soy milk. We also got the tofu dessert, which was also really refreshing and high in protein. I would definitely come back to get some soy milk and try other flavors and other desserts. read more

This is not your american soy milk you'd find at the grocery store. The milk is creamy and rich with flavor. I would recommend the corn milk and the strawberry personally! read more

The amount of effort to produce soy milk as your only product shows how much passion the owners have for their product. The variety of flavors here was shocking ranging from matcha to adzuki red bean to rose and even cucumber. Though there aren't any seats (you order standing up!), the ambiance is very raw and real! When you walk in you can see exactly all the machinery used as well as the very few workers working there. I really enjoyed the short and sweet customer experience and tried a bunch of flavors before deciding on my final two choices: corn soy milk- 9/10 Super subtle flavor and it's hard to get tired of the taste because of it. The soy milk is very rich and creamy but light at the same time. unsweetened soy milk- 9/10 I really recommend this option if you just want something simple. The og flavor is always the best! The perfect sweetness and texture too. I never had soy milk that is equally rich and light. read more

A little bit pricey but such a thick and creamy soymilk well worth the drive. You get the soymilk in these nice large glass bottles, which explains the price. I got the plain (unsweetened) and black sesame which only has sweetened. Unfortunately didn't get there for when they had the rose soymilk. Parking was relatively easy and small store. Quick and easy to go in and order. Will definitely get again! read more

We tried light sugar and black sesame soy drink. They were smooth and thick in texture. They tasted good but with sugar, you can't appreciate the real soy taste. However if you are milk drinker, these may be friendlier to you. We also tried a block tofu and yes you can taste freshness and flavorful tofu. If you appreciate taste of no sugar added drink, I recommend Westsoy or Trader Joe's soy. They both taste great without any additive (also no sugar) and you definitely get more protein for your money. However getting soy here will support local business and you get fresh squeezed soy. Wherever you get your soy, it's always better than the milk from water contaminting cows. Just look up how much air and water pollution cows are contributing. read more

Easy to miss hole in the wall, but a must visit. All of their products are great and have that homemade taste. The owner is great and friendly, and really makes you want to support their small business. You get a $1 discount by bringing the bottles back for them to recycle, so that's awesome from an environmental standpoint. We'll continue coming back frequently! read more

I finally got to try this place after having it bookmarked for awhile. We stopped by right before they were going to close on a Sunday at 12:45pm. It's a small hole in the wall type of shop with some street parking. They ran out of the matcha soy milk so I got the sesame soy milk instead. I also got their tofu. Total came out to be around $21 for both items. The sesame soy was really good. Not too sweet and very thick and creamy. I enjoyed how thick the consistency was. The tofu came with a side of red bean and green bean paste. The tofu was also thick and more firm. The tofu had no sugar but the paste was very sweet so they balanced well with each other. Though I do like my tofu silky smooth and soft. Will definitely be back to try their matcha. It just sucks that they have really random business hours. read more

Looks great. Very small operation. New to area. All things Japanese style tofu products. Tofu milk in matcha, etc. All densities of tofu! I need to try more firsthand. I will update as I try more. read more

Love stopping here for amazing quality soymilk. They have all kinds of flavors (matcha, almond, black rice, black sesame, rose, unsweetened, regular, etc.). Although the flavors are very subtle, I do like the variety I can choose from. The small sizes are about 12 oz and are $5 to $6 a bottle while the large size is a quart, I believe, for about $11 to $12. They also sell tofu pudding with toppings. The storefront is very small and cramped, so you go in and pick what you want from the fridge and pay. No frills shop, but the quality you get is 100. Also note that they are only open 3 days a week (Tues, Thurs, Sun 10a-1p). read more

Very lowkey spot but great drinks and they let you sample anything. Super nice workers! I got the black sesame and adzuki (red bean).

If you love fresh soy milk, you need to stop by US Soypresso Dark! They also offer flavored soy milk, such as black sesame, matcha, almond, and even chocolate! In addition to soy milk, they sell fresh tofu and also sweet tofu dessert. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, and they weren't busy at the time, but customers were continuously coming by. When you enter the same building, you can see that they manufacture all of their fresh soy milk onsite. The owners are really nice and friendly, and ask if it's your first time there. If it is, they give you samples of ALL OF THEIR SOYMILKS. Such awesome service! I tried: Chocolate: Good chocolate flavor, not too sweet. Matcha: Lots of grassy matcha notes, great for matcha lovers. Black Sesame Soy Milk (Small/$6, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zoQgesF1XR37-tqudIi28g): This was one of my favorites, since I loved the nutty black sesame flavor. Almond: Good, but a little too thick of a consistency for my liking. Original: Really good soy milk, and the perfect amount of sweetness. Light sweet: This barely has any sweetness, and I would only recommend this one if you basically want plain soy milk. I will definitely be back for more fresh soy milk in the future, and I also want to try their tofu and sweet tofu dessert. Parking can be tough since they only have two spots in front of the shop, and there is very limited street parking on this busy street. read more

I've been hearing people talk about this new place that is one of its kind in the area, but I hadn't brought myself to try it because it was in such a random area that I would never be around... until I found out it was actually just a block from my allergist where I got shots bi-weekly! So, I finally found a convenient time to try it. My favorite part of coming here is the exceptionally friendly service. I was greeted by a woman who did not speak very much English but was still very enthusiastic about making sure I get what I came for. They're overly generous with the samples, letting you try all the different flavors and even the tofu. Her efforts were greatly appreciated and got me to buy more than I intended to. Something I noticed that I don't think I've seen anyone mention is that the bottles are filled to the VERY TOP. It's not like bags of chips where you open it up and only half the bag is filled. I read in another review that they don't accept credit card; however when I came in today they took my Discover card so either there was a miscommunication there or they've started accepting card! They also take Venmo and PayPal which is also great. Parking is quite tight and difficult and as one who is TERRIBLE with compact spaces, this is the kind of factor that would stop me from coming as often as I would want to. The other factor is price. A half gallon of almond milk or soymilk is no more than $5, even at groceries like Whole Foods or New Leaf. So when you're paying $10+ for less than a half gallon, it does seem to be a bit high. Although, the quality here is much better, and you're obviously not paying for the same kind of soymilk - something to keep in mind. After reading a recent review for this place, I have learned that some consumers believe this place is trying to come off as a store from a Soypresso brand in Japan or Taiwan (?), but is actually not affiliated with any other places and is its own entity. I personally have not heard anything about this so until I have a better understanding of it, I wouldn't let my review be affected by it. PS, new summer flavor: Cucumber! read more
