My husband thought the sweetness and bitterness level of his viet coffee w/ cheese foam wasn't balanced well. They also gave a pretty thick layer of cheese foam, which may be a pro or a con depending on your tastes. The boba in both our drinks was also very clumpy and the texture was average. Not something I'd be excited for but decent enough to satisfy a boba craving.

I called to place order. Got a recording. Got a return call confirming my order. Found it's better to text with C6 or F7 unless one can speak Vietnamese. Main associate lacks English proficiency. Much easier for her to get "code" Place was an easy find. Street parking slightly difficult. Unknown if parking in their lot is permissible. Went towards big building on the right . Found unit with "Taste of Asia" brochure on window. Just before the gate. Bingo! Stood in front of open door until Vietnamese lady came out with my order. $21 cash. Unknown if Zelle has tax added to it. Tipped a little. Lady hesitated to give change. Offerings (Vietnamese): street food, drinks, coffee. Sips: Cafe Muoi Bien (sea salt foam Vietnamese coffee, 7)-Viet coffee, sea salt foam, condensed milk. -coffee didn't look full. No doubt foam on top shrank/mixed into coffee. -bold coffee with alternating sweet & salty tastes depending on sipping foam or condensed milk. Bites: Banh Trang Cuon (Vietnamese Special roll, 14). There's also a salad version with same ingredients & no wrapping. -dipping sauce had sweet & savory notes. -rice roll had dominant theme of beef jerky. The surrounding nuanced taste was a symphonic medley of carrots, quarter sectioned boiled eggs, coriander, green mango, dried shrimp, fried onions, peanuts & green mangos, 5 stars Worthy! Quality: freshly premade. Quantiy: ample enough for a meal. Would repeat. *Taste of Asia "passport" given to win prizes from buying from food vendors in Oakland Chinatown & San Leandro Asian businesses.

We ordered and selected levels of sugar and ice and added calamari to the order. There were plenty of tables to wait and while we did the line backed out of the door. Our number was called fairly soon. The calamari was crispy and seasoned with a little kick of heat. The Boba was perfect. And our friend said we should try his popcorn chicken as it is an authentic Taiwanese street food. It was seasoned with Chinese Five Spice and very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This visit was a win-win. Ill be back!

I have been craving taro so I ordered the Taro Milk Tea since they supposedly make it from scratch. I was happy to learn they had nondairy options. It was not reflected as an itemized charge in the receipt but there was an unexplained $0.75 so I'm thinking that's the non-dairy charge. The drink itself was decent. For the price, I'd rather get the taro at Chicha Sanchen instead. This location is hangout friendly and has plenty of tables for the guests. It's a little dim and the barely any AC if that matters. I didn't mind it but it was noticeable.

I like that they have a rotating seasonal menu as well. This time I tried the Iced Ube Latte from the summer menu. I didn't really have high hopes since ube seems to be everywhere lately and not always executed well, but I thought this drink was actually pretty tasty and strong. I always feel like I can get work done and focus here because of how open and spacious it is. Love the view and natural light that radiates inside as well. So many tables and seating options inside and out. Bathrooms are always clean with many stalls available. Service is friendly. Great place to get caffeinated and study or catch up with friends.

The salted maple latte was just ok... sadly it looked better than it tasted. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso as it left a very sour after taste, even with the sweet maple syrup it wasn't very pleasant. Good espresso should be balanced and coffee forward, and I didn't get that. Almond croissant was great, but I was a bit disappointed in their coffee. Ambience is great for studying or getting some work done.

They typically add 6 pumps of sweetener but I only got two pumps with an extra shot of espresso. Just how I like it and it tasted amazing!! I would have given them 5 stars but one of the owners family member touched my 7 year old daughter's nose with his hands. People don't like their kids being touched by strangers. Please keep that in mind for future clients.

The Marketing Trap is Real (But the Service is Great!) I had…read moreabsolutely no intention of stopping by Peet's today, but their marketing team definitely knows what they are doing! I got a "spend $6, get $3 off" promo in my app since it had been a while, and it lured me right through the door. My goal was to stay as close to that $6 mark as possible to practically get a freebie. I originally ordered a large drink and a pastry, but when the total hit $12, I had the barista knock the drink down to a medium to save a few bucks. After the discount, I walked out spending $8. Sneaky marketing--they got me to spend money I hadn't planned on! For my order, I tried the Iced Lavender Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the spot, so I only drank about half of it. I also grabbed a Lemon Blueberry Danish. Now, I have a personal rule about "open-air" pastry cases--if food is sitting out all day, it's an open invitation for gnats or flies to dance all over it! Usually, I prefer when they pull a fresh one from the back wrap counter. When I noticed the barista pull mine straight from the display, I asked her about it. She was sweet and assured me everything was fresh and they didn't have a gnat problem right now, so I decided to take a chance since she was warming it up. Sadly, the danish wasn't very delicious either, and I only ate a few bites. Even though the food and drink were a miss for me today, I still love coming into this Peet's. The atmosphere is always so incredibly calm and peaceful, and the baristas are always so friendly, upbeat, and polite. I'll definitely be back for my usuals, but I'll probably pass on the lavender and the display case next time!
