    Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea ($8.25), Pandan Green Milk Tea ($8.25), Strawberry Matcha Einspänner ($7.95)
    Cherylynn N.

    I'm patiently waiting for the matcha and tea bubble to burst. Anyone else? As much as I love both, I'm tired...tired of the long lines and disappointment with all the new matcha and tea shops opening. BUT, Arisan hits. So, their expansion to Sunnyvale is a WIN because I don't have trek further down to Viet Town for their drinks. *Specialties*: Matcha and Viet coffee. They also have milk teas, fruit teas, and their housemade desserts: choux and boxed cakes. They use fresh ingredients and fruits. No surcharge for oat milk. From their TeaHee days, housemade cheese balls available as a topping. It's savory cheese suspended in a jelly. Here's why I like Arisan and their new location: (+) Online ordering available (even during soft opening) so we didn't have to wait in line. (+) Feeling ballsy? Since they open at 9 am, you can get your boba fix in the morning instead of waiting until 11 am - 12 pm when other tea shops open. (+) They have sugarcane and pennywort drinks that's hard to find in the Sunnyvale/Santa Clara area. (+) Spacious with plenty of seating indoors and two tables outside. Free WiFi and outlets. (+) Two restrooms. (+) EAAASSSSY parking. So much easier compared to their E San Jo location. Unfortunately, Arisan's drinks are not on par with their original location yet. Visited during the soft opening and it was 10% off everything so giving them grace: * Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea, less sweet ($8.25) It was creamier than usual, and while the roasty tea flavor came through, there was an odd cinnamon aftertaste. * Pandan Green Milk Tea, less sweet ($8.25) Creamy with a distinct grassy vanilla-y pandan flavor but the floral green flavor was on the weaker side. * Strawberry Matcha Einspänner, less sweet ($7.95) - Whisked to order Strong earthy flavor mellowed by the milk and strawberry puree. Topped with a creamy, cloud-like strawberry sweet cream for dessert vibes. * Einspänner Latte, less sweet ($7.50) Diaaaabeeeeteees sweet and the Arabica coffee wasn't as bold. S E R V I C E Cordial and efficient service. We ordered online, and our order was ready in just 7-8 minutes (Saturday afternoon). Overall, happy to see Arisan expand further north[west] with easy parking!

    Tiramisu latte
    Alex Z.

    I've heard a lot about this place and was excited for their expansion to Sunnyvale! No wait on a Monday at lunchtime although I hear it's been busy on weekends; I ordered a tiramisu latte and got it quickly. The drink looked great like all their drinks do, and I really liked that they gave a marscapone biscuit on the side (in a bag for easy takeout). The drink itself was a bit of a miss, it tasted a bit like concentrated cold brew coffee with a bitter off taste. I think they're much more known for their matcha drinks which I'm excited to try next time. The vibe here is amazing though! Spacious and bright with lots of seating, and I love the decor, there's a full length mirror, plants everywhere, and flowers on every table. Seems like a great place to study or hang out, I'll definitely be back :)

    Matcha Einspanner
    Anh N.

    I was super excited to see another Arisan location open since I'm a huge fan of the one on Story Road. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as Hankook Supermarket and is noticeably more spacious than the Story Road location. I was surprised to see it already so packed during their soft opening phase. Unfortunately, my drink (Matcha Einspanner) was a letdown. It tasted very watered down and lacked the richness I was expecting. While the drink was prepared quickly, the service didn't feel as warm or welcoming. Since they're still in their soft opening phase, I'm willing to give them another shot and see if things improve.

    Not bad for a soft opening! We ordered three drinks and it all came out fast (less than 5 minutes). Ordered: Strawberry matcha einspanner latte Banana matcha latte Mango passion fruit oolong tea It was really refreshing and the taste is better than expected! Only problem is there is not enough seatings. Will be coming back.

    Banana matcha

    New matcha place! So excited to have a new matcha place in sj, during their soft opening phase- they still have a lot of items available! I can't wait till their grand opening! Service is quick and efficient, they were true sweethearts. Ambiance is so warm and cozy, truly loving the vibes down all the way from the music choice in store. I got the banana matcha latte and the banana has a true banana flavor with no artificial taste and you can definitely taste a little bit of banana bits. (Extra points cause they had oat milk available!) Next drink Pandan milk tea- sooooo delicious! Refreshing and not overbearingly sweet. A must try if you're in the area!

    Tie guan yin oolong milk teas with tea jellies. No ice, so cup is less filled.
    Amy Y.

    I'm so glad there's now an Arisan in Sunnyvale! I went during the soft opening week and tried their Tie Guan Yin oolong milk tea, which includes tea jellies. The tea flavor was strong but the drink itself was a little on the sweet side, even with "less sugar". I love the taste and texture of the tea jellies, which reminds me of Torotea or Hechalou in SoCal. The cashier was very nice. Several people were crowded at the front, because the menus are posted only by the cashier. It might help to have menus or QR codes available throughout the store to prevent crowding during the grand opening. The store itself is spacious, modern, and clean, and has seating for small groups of 2-4. Now onto areas where I could see improvement. I struggle to identify the cafe, because they seems to specialize in matcha, but also offer milk teas, pastries, and Vietnamese desserts. I was hesitant to order the milk tea because it didn't seem like their specialty, and at $8+ for a drink, was a steep investment. Simplifying the menu, or highlighting specialties would help guide customers. As someone who prefers hot drinks, I was also disappointed that there are no hot drinks on the menu, and drinks without ice would appear to be less filled. Overall, I'm so happy to see a local chain succeeding and will definitely revisit!

    Visited at opening hour during soft opening for their BOGO free banana drinks promo :) Easy parking (parking lot) located next to Hankook Supermarket. Lots of seating and small tables available with outlets along the wall - great for doing work or studying :) There is also free wifi! Love the interior - very calming, warm/woody brown with plants and flowers! The staff were kind and helpful with my questions~~ I got the banana coffee and banana matcha, both less sweet. Both were SO delicious and my mom and sister agreed! Loved them! They add mashed banana at the bottom so the drinks are very banana-y (in a real and very good way). Very flavorful matcha and coffee. So good! Will be back to try more items. :)

    I love the Arisan in San Jose and was excited to see that they expanded to Sunnyvale! The pandan green milk tea here is one of my go-tos. I tried it at this location and the pandan taste wasn't super apparent, but still loved the floral creamy taste of the milk tea. I also like the free tea jelly that comes with all of the milk tea options. Would come back!

    Taro matcha
    Kimi C.

    Came midday on a weekday & the vibes were chill, laid back, and cozy. There's a row of cushioned bench seats along the wall that serves as a great study corner! Even have outlets all along & wifi posted on the wall. I had the taro matcha & matcha on matcha. The taro matcha definitely tastes like taro if that's what you're looking for. Personally, I felt like the taro overpowered the matcha itself. Enjoyable but probably wouldn't get it again. The matcha on matcha was solid. I was able to actually taste the matcha in this drink as compared to the taro matcha. Note: they only have whole milk & oat milk options. Their cream tops are a bit on the thicker side so it's hard to get a balanced sip of cream + matcha. I will say I appreciated how the cream top wasn't just a chunk/coagulated though and at least you could just stir to mix it in with the rest of the drink. The staff are also very friendly! One of my drinks was wayyy too sweet to be "less sweet" and they immediately offered to remake it. I will say they are in their soft opening right now and seem to still be training some new hires on how to make drinks, but they are very nice people & made my experience here feel welcoming. Would definitely come back to try more drinks!

    Banana matcha
    Rona B.

    I was so excited to see this opening up in my neighborhood! Sadly, they took a long time to make my drink despite being one of the very few customers (just 1 order ahead of mine). I waited about 15 minutes for one matcha and I can see that everything is pre made (matcha bottle and cold foam bottle) In terms of the drink itself, the banana was far too overpowering. About half of a banana is mashed into the bottom of the cup. I can appreciate the efforts and authenticity, but i think the formula needs a better ratio between banana:matcha flavor. The sweet corn cake was great- soft and spongy, with good corn flavor.

    OMG YUM! Finally a good matcha spot in Sunnyvale that has banana bangers! Literally my favorite thing is a banana bottom and they took it a step further with the banana cream topper. Flavors are so fresh! The inside is so clean and cozy. Service was very friendly and quick! Also love that there is plenty of parking here! Can't wait to come again!

    Came in and ordered 2 iced banana coffee. Interior is nicely decorated. Nice and cozy!They give a pager when order is ready. Don't forget to sign up for rewards!

    Great cafe to do a little work or catching up with friends. Friendly and helpful staff, plenty of outlets and seating, free wifi, and great drinks and cake. Keeping this on my saves :)

The only critique I have is the music being way too loud at times. It's NOT what type of music is playing, but purely the volume.

It wasn't crazy busy so it was easy to order through one of their two tablets and find a spot to sit. It is very spacious and filled with many tables, so even when busy you'll likely be able to find a spot. The menu is a bit messy to look at--there is a big menu hanging over the kiosks, another posted alongside where a line is formed, then the menu on the tablet kiosks themselves. It's a pretty big menu featuring primarily coffee-based drinks, matcha lattes, and a wide variety of food, so you'll likely find something appealing. I ordered their smoked salmon bagel (which rang up to about $16) and their matcha latte ($8); to be honest, neither were outstanding. The salmon and avocado in the bagel were great, but the bagel itself was a bit stale--for $16, it's a bit hard to swallow. The matcha was very milky, and there is another store offering better matcha drinks in the same plaza. I'll admit, though, it's a little on me for not picking coffee at a spot with "coffee" in the name. I will say, though, that the atmosphere in the main area is pretty good; the decor is understated but comfortable, and the lighting is good. The service is also solid--the servers are friendly and our order came out quickly. I will say that the bathroom feels ominous. Overall, it's a great spot to study; Big Mug is open late, has free Wi-Fi and a bathroom for customers, and offers both food and caffeinated drinks for longer study sessions. I feel that the prices vary widely for items but skew towards being too pricy for the quality, at least from my limited experience. I plan on coming back to give other items a try, but for now, it's not a favorite.

    1484 Halford Ave Santa Clara, CA 95051…read more This was my first visit to Baker's Village in Santa Clara. It was a warm day, and I was drawn to this bakery by their fruit smoothies. It was near 5pm. I walked in and the place was empty. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me. I asked for a strawberry smoothie, then walked around to survey all the baked goods. It's a small bakery with lots of trays of individually packaged cakes and pastries. The smell was very pleasant and comforting. Using a flat basket (or tray) I grabbed a few selections. I picked 2 "Heart Pies" that resembled my favorite French Butterfly Cookies. Also 2 pound cakes. The total rang up to just over $21. There's some small tables for enjoying your purchases there, but I took my items to go. The icy cold fruit smoothie was very good and very cold! Not too sweet, it had a natural strawberry taste. The Heart Pies were good and fresh. But the Pound Cakes were probably "day old." I noticed there's no dates or "best by" tags on the packages. It's a nice place to visit, and I will return again. Free parking in plaza lot.

Wisely, I checked Yelp reviews first because some deals can be too good to be true. It's hidden gem off El Camino and near Lawrence Expressway where those that know good Korean baking have this spot on their short list of preferred places. I arrived a few minutes before my scheduled pick up time and Korean grandma behind the counter was super pro, teaching me how to confirm check in and gave me a mixed bag of baked goods with/without fillings. If you like surprises, are omnivore & no special diets or food allergies, Too Good To Go is the way to explore. The items were in generic packaging without labels, so take a pic of the items you like so can order when visit next time. While my family enjoyed all the items, I really enjoyed the black sesame studded puffy rolls that I think were made with rice flour. There was a large group of older Asian ladies, including one who brought their lap dog, enjoying good conversations in their native language with their baked goods and tea or coffee. Another gentleman was taking a video call to help decide the best cake to buy. Will add this bake shop for a place to have a coffee meeting and to favorite in Too Good To Go.

Beautiful, flaky, sweet and savory; there are so many delicious options. Gourmet pastries with gourmet coffee equals perfection. Best way to start the morning. I love that.

For my family of three we definitely got over excited in order too much, but each bite was delicious. We got a leek quiche, a banana latte, spinach, artichoke danish, mango croissant, almond croissant, and a ham and cheese croissant. I was trying to increase the protein to not spike my blood sugar. Lol. I'd have to say the mango and the almond croissant were probably my favorite. The strong second would definitely be the artichoke and spinach croissant danish thing. Sorry, I forgot what they called it. They offered to heat it up a bit and I definitely recommend this. They did the perfect temperature for the perfect timing. Just enough to make the outside flaky and the inside warm and soft. The pieces that had cheeses were so much better warmed up. They definitely know what they're doing there. Seating was great. I'd love the decor. You can also order off of a menu, but we were too enamored with the actual pastries to even glance at it. I took photos but made sure to not take photos of the staff. I let the staff know that I wouldn't include their faces without their permission. they were very friendly and very appreciative. My family loved your little shop and we will definitely be back when we're in the area.
