    Matcha Cloud Coconut Water
    Linz C.

    Wow. Tried their special matcha cloud with coconut water and my mind was blown. I've seen other places serve this combo but this was my first time trying it. It was very light and refreshing. We also ordered the strawberry matcha einspanner which had a good strong matcha flavor. Ordered online to skip waiting in line!

    Matcha Einspanner Latte
    Rui Y.

    I am so excited about this second location for arisan, the first of which is located in San Jose's Vietnam Town. The interior shares the same charm as the original. There are charging outlets, a decent number of tables/seats, bathroom access, and free WiFi, so it is a good spot to study or work (especially because they're open a bit later). I will note that a lot of websites are blocked--the Washington State University webpages, for example, so be forewarned. The menu offers similar options to other Vietnamese-style cafes, with a number of matcha and coffee options. They also offer some more unique flavors, such as pandan and sweet corn. I also appreciate their pastry options, which, though limited in variety, are very cute--I tried their strawberry choux pastry, which I thought was pretty good, though the cream inside was a touch too light in flavor. Their pricing is on the high side of normal, with most drinks running you at least $6.50 and up to ~$8, but I find that the quality is satisfactory. The matcha isn't the strongest I've had, but it's still quite good, and the size of the drink is on the larger side. I like to also think of it as paying to spend time there to study. The service is really great here--there isn't an ordering tablet, but the menu is posted very visibly, I was offered recommendations, and my order was taken and served very quickly. Everyone is very friendly as well. I honestly felt very welcomed and comfortable. I was offered a free sample of the choux pastry (likely because I came close to their opening), which they informed me are made in-house! I definitely recommend giving this spot a try, as I really enjoyed my visit and want to try some of their more unique drinks. It's a great spot to just grab a drink or to sit down and work, and the care with which they make their food and drink stand out to me. The primary reason I took one point off is because of the blocked websites issue--I really want to study and work here more often, but I can't be sure if it's always possible.

    Cold Matcha Latte with oat milk
    Michael L.

    It sounded like Arisan had a really good soft opening. We ended up going there a week later during an off time and everything went smoothly. There's decent seating inside but since it shares the parking lot with Hankook, we decided to take it to-go and do some Korean food shopping. We ordered the Honey Match Latte and the Matcha Einspanner Latte, both with oat milk. The drinks were prepared quickly and we were on our way in less than 15 minutes. Both drinks were refreshing and had visual appeal. I can see coming here frequently due to its location (I work and work-out nearby)! Perhaps they'll have a loyalty program that I can leverage.

    Dark Roast Tie Guan Yin Oolong Milk Tea & Taro Tornado
    Nicole P.

    Came back for the bogo free milk tea promo! It was lovely to see that they have more decorations and merch on display since the last time I was here :) Also saw many people working/studying. When I arrived, there was a small line and the wait wasn't that bad at all. The staff helping me order was super kind and answered my questions~~ I also learned that you can't do milk substitutes for the milk teas lol ~ Taro Tornado (less sweet, regular ice): The tea and the jellies were nice but the taro wasn't particularly hitting. It's chunks and bits of real taro at the bottom of the drink. It was interesting to try, but I would not get this again and I wouldn't recommend it either (sorry)! ~ Dark roast tie guan yin oolong milk tea (less sweet, regular ice): Now this was a nice drink. Very fragrant and delicious. Love the jellies too! Looking forward to trying more drinks in the future!

    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 :)

    Choux: chocolate, strawberry, and tiramisu
    Julie W.

    We read good reviews for the San Jose location and we just found out a Arisan Sunnyvale location opened. So we checked out the Sunnyvale location. It's new. It's clean. It was the old Korean coffee place with pastries shaped like a walnut. We knew we wanted to try the Choux pastries and the tiramisu cake but the latter one was sold out by 1 pm. Lucky us, they had a special, buy 2, get 1 free choux pastry because they made too many choux buns that morning. Great deal for 3, $7.75. Buns were fresh and filled with chocolate, strawberry, and tiramisu flavors. Great with the deal, I would really need to want a sweet to pay $3.50 for one unless it was bigger. We also got the tiramisu latte and Einspanner latte. We got less sugar but still yum. I would have done full sugar because I love sweets and it would have been excellent but flavors came thru on less sugar. I could Arisan on my coffee rotation.

    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.

    Honey Matcha Latte
    Katie T.

    Came here on grand opening and the line moved decently fast! They have a ton of menu options and work through orders quickly. They didn't have a regular matcha latte, only a honey matcha latte so was a bit on the sweet side but would love to try some of their flavored matchas! The jasmine oolong tea leans heavily on the jasmine side. When the hype dies down a bit, would love to work from here during the day since it's a great study spot and so cute!

    Phyli N.

    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.

    Sweet Corn Coffee Latte and matcha on matcha
    Crystal L.

    I am a fan! The coffee flavor is perfect. The flavored creams complement the coffee well without overpowering or watering down the sugar. Checked this place out because of the sweet corn latte & desserts. Was hesitant bc the past corn lattes I've tried were just sweet corn milk drinks with no taste of coffee or no option of coffee at all. So when ordering I made sure there was cofffee. It was very creamy and caffeinated. We also got matcha on matcha - very matcha-y. I'm not a matcha fan but my bf is and he said it was creamy and flavored really well, earthy in a good way. It's either organic whole milk or oat milk and no add on charges for the swap. Plac eis cute with a good amount of tables and chairs to sit and do work or catch up. Came towards the end of the day so pastries and sweets are almost out. Can't wait to come back again. Staff was friendly and easy parking.

    If you order less ice they won't fill your cup up.
    Thao V.

    We got the coconut matcha, honey matcha, and strawberry matcha. The team likes the matcha, just not happy that they put less drink in your cup just because you ordered less ice. Really like this place until they did that.

    Einspanner Latte
    Eilien L.

    Love that I no longer have to drive all the way to San Jose just to get my Arisan fix. I ordered the Einspänner latte with oat milk and asked for it to be less sweet. Huge shoutout to the staff for recommending it because it ended up being exactly my kind of drink. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, they can definitely customize it for you. The balance is what really stood out. The cream is rich and velvety without overpowering the espresso, which still comes through with a bold flavor. It actually reminded me of Vietnamese egg coffee, but much lighter and more delicate. You still get that luscious, creamy texture without any eggy taste or aroma. Overall, they absolutely nailed it. The café itself is also incredibly cute with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It is the perfect spot for a casual date, catching up with friends, or getting some work done with a good cup of coffee.

    I had ordered my dad's birthday cake from here back in 2024 (salted yolk/pork sung/matcha mix…read morecake), and it was absolutely delicious! This time I decided to stop by here after dinner, my first time sitting down here and ordering. The inside is very clean, modern, and Pinterest-like. They added more decorations and seating from 2 years ago, making the inside more aesthetic. whaT's More always has unique Asian flavors, like durian, earl grey, pandan, red bean, and oolong. The cakes are not too sweet, so definitely Asian parent approved haha! Unfortunately, when we came around 6:30pm, they were sold out of most flavors - so would definitely recommend coming earlier or just ordering online earlier in the morning for pickup. We got the sesame dark chocolate crepe cake. When you eat in the store, the owner provides you with free cups of tea, which are really great for washing down the cake. The chocolate was super rich, and they did not skimp out on the flavor - super chocolatey. The sesame added such a fun earthy and nutty flavor - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cake is on the slightly denser side, so was super filling. While on the pricier side, the flavors are super unique and the craft that goes into crepe cakes is commendable. I will be ordering my next cake from here again!

Not only does it get really busy after work hours, many parking spots are reserved for other businesses. It's also usually crowded inside, making snagging a seat a bit hard. It's a popular spot, and I can see why--the menu features many different bingsoo options alongside other desserts, and they're all very beautiful and cute. There's also free WiFi and bathroom access. I will note that they don't seem particularly diligent about cleaning up between customers. You pick your own seats, and when I finally found a table, there was food residue visible on the tabletop. Their prices are a little higher than some other spots in SJ (ranging from ~$13 to $19 pre-tax), and I don't think the quality of the bingsoo is noticeably better to justify the price. I tried a pricier one (the premium strawberry), and found it to be quite good, but not $20 good. Plus, some aspects seem designed more for pictures than for eating. The little cheesecake slice is a bit hard because it's cold and difficult to eat with the shaved ice. That said, their bingsoo does taste good! The fruit tasted fresh and sweet, and the portion was enough for me to share with my partner. I wish the condensed milk was provided on the side instead of already poured on top, but I didn't mind the amount they gave. I may not be back immediately in the future, but I wouldn't mind visiting again. I would probably stick to the lower-priced options myself, though. If you visit, do keep in mind that it's usually really busy--your order probably will take a minute, and whether that's worth it or not is up to you.

They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio!

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.
