I got the mango sticky matcha + coconut cream based on the reviews and pure curiosity; but unfortunately I didn't like it as much as I wish I did. As a matcha drink it was great, and the salted coconut cream was okay, but I found the flavor to replicate the mango sticky rice to be lacking for my preference. I can understand why it is popularly known so although it's not for me, doesn't mean that the drink isn't worth a try for someone else. I think this is a beautiful cafe, worth it if you're in the area to try and see if you'll find something you'll enjoy!

It must be my lucky day, because we're stopping by Re Ca Phe! It's a really cute spot in Fountain…read moreValley, and they're serving everything up and down the gamut of coffee, from Vietnamese to some of these! Walking into the shop, you're greeted with a dark gray concrete vibe with plenty of matching decor. They've got some multiroaster vibes too, which means they're slinging beans like Dak, La Cabra, and more! Robusta and Arabica heads can both rejoice! They've also got a nice little patio to just rest and relax at while you enjoy your drinks. I've had a few pretty deep conversations coming out of this place. Okay, even though I did come to a coffee shop, I did end up getting a hojicha latte that was roasty, nutty, and delicious alongside the vanilla notes that they add. Great choice for some of you who don't do so well with caffeine. It's easy to drink, and thoughtfully prepared! I got something a little different. It was a strawberry co-ferment espresso in a cappuccino ratio. You could really taste that strawberry come through, and having it hot and with milk was a perfect choice. Fruity, complex, and funky! Love to see places serving co-ferments. I don't think it's over-played in specialty coffee, and I do appreciate having the option! And, I didn't get it today, but getting a fancy pour-over at this spot really hits. If you coffee sweats like the fun stuff, you'll have plenty of that here! If you're looking for both fun coffee and great day, no doubt you should check out Re Ca Phe!

Re Cà Phê is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which already makes it really convenient…read more The café itself has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the whole space feels cozy and aesthetic, making it such a nice place to just sit and take in the atmosphere. The workers are really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I tried their Earl Grey Matcha Latte, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Not many places offer this combination, so whenever I see it on a menu, I have to try it. What I really liked about this one is how well balanced it is. The earl grey is light enough that it doesn't overpower the matcha, so you can actually taste both flavors clearly without one taking over the other. The Hojicha Vanilla Cream Latte was also really good. The cream on top was silky, smooth, and rich, adding a nice layer of sweetness that paired well with the roasted, nutty flavor of the hojicha. It made the drink feel really comforting and well put together.

But despite the long wait, I was impressed by how efficient they were. Our drinks came out in under 5 minutes! Tried the pandan coffee and despite it being sweet, I liked it. The staff was super kind explaining that the Vietnamese coffee is pre-made ahead of time, so sweetness can't be reduced below 75%, and it would make the pandan flavor disappear. A trick: You can add a free extra shot of coffee if you want it more balanced and less sweet. If you want 0% sugar, you can order their teas.

Paderia never disappoints. I love this location because my favorite stores are near by. So whenever…read moreI'm doing running my errands, I'm definitely going to drop by paderia for some baked goods. I'm a very picky person when it comes to a chocolate chip cookie. I have this belief that if a bakery has a perfect chocolate chip cookie, everything else is great. My definition of a chocolate chip cookie has to have a crunchy outside, a good balance and amount of dark and milk chocolate chips , perfect sweetness level with the perfect ratio of brown to white sugar for sweetness and chewiness and the obvious soft and gooey center. Paderias is a 9 out of 10 for me and it never disappoints. My 2nd fav is their triple chocolate. Those two are hands down my all time picks. Ordering is done through iPads which is simple to navigate. You have to come early to snag their items because they do sell out rather quickly esp on the weekends. The interior is very clean and beautifully designed. Plenty of parking and easy to spot the location!

Kei Coffee House lives up to the hype when it comes to its concept, flavors, and uniqueness…read more The cafe itself has a spacious yet homey modern feel, making it perfect for working remotely, catching up with friends, and everything in between. I came here on a Thursday afternoon, and it was already packed, but we had no trouble finding seating in their outdoor section. I also want to quickly shout out their video displays showcasing the drinks and food items. It's such a cool touch and really helps them stand out. There are so many options to choose from between the drinks and food, and honestly, I'm not mad about it. Between my partner and me (we ordered a lot), we got the London Fog Matcha, Banana Matcha, Popcorn Chicken, Longanisa Burrito, and a Corn Cheese Cookie. Keeping it simple: everything was absolutely delicious. As of the date of this review, this is the best Earl Grey Matcha I've had. It was perfectly balanced between the floral Earl Grey notes and the grassiness of the matcha. The Longanisa Burrito was hearty and came served with Kei Concept's aji verde sauce. Lastly, I have to call out their Corn Cheese Cookie. It had such a great balance of savory and sweet, and I'm genuinely going to try my best to recreate this at home since I'm in the Bay Area and won't have easy access to it anymore :(. Overall, I'm so glad this spot made it onto the itinerary for the trip!

Barely any matcha taste or even earl grey taste. It looks like my drink was hastily made with limited ingredients which was just mostly milk. I didn't even want to finish it. What saved this experience was trying my friend's Corn Cheese Cookie which was buttery, crunchy, moist, and flavorful. I also liked the ambiance with the big and pretty interior with some outdoor seating. They also have lots of free parking in the lot around the restaurant. I'm not sure if I would come back again because of the terrible matcha experience though.

Nep has a special place in my heart, blending modernized brunch dishes with Vietnamese classics. It…read morereminds me of myself in a way! I feel like I have raved to multiple friends about Nep and how unique and delicious it is. Nep is located across from Mile Square Regional Park and has ample parking. Every time I have been there, it has always been busy, even with its generous indoor and outdoor seating. I also appreciate how on top of it the servers always are and how they make sure you are well taken care of. Nep is known for their Banh Mi Chao, which is kind of like Bo Ne but with an "everything but the kitchen sink" vibe. I definitely recommend first-time visitors try this dish since it is really what makes them stand out. The tenderness of the beef mixes so well with the sauce, tomatoes, and pâté, while the banh mi acts as the perfect dipping vessel that ties everything together. Besides the Banh Mi Chao, there are so many other dishes that are equally mouthwatering, such as their Crab Toast (with a generous amount of crab and a creamy mouthfeel) and their new steamed egg dish with pork floss (a salty flavor balanced with custardy egg). In my opinion, no matter what dish you decide to get, you can guarantee it will be well-seasoned. Really excited to continue being a repeat customer and trying everything under their roof.

Ordered the Banh Mi Chao and the Pandan Old Fashioned, and both delivered. The filet mignon was insanely tender, the baguette had that perfect crispy-outside, fluffy-inside texture, and every bite was super flavorful. The Pandan Old Fashioned is great if you prefer something on the stronger side. Then came dessert... and wow. The banana bread pudding and mango sticky rice were straight-up bangers. No notes. Big shoutout to Thomas as well. Despite the packed brunch rush, he stayed incredibly attentive and made sure our table was taken care of the entire time. Service like that makes the experience great. Nep knows exactly what they're doing. Already thinking about my next visit.
