    Vietnamese pannacotta and lychee drink.
    Vi T.

    Clean and bright Vietnamese coffeeshop located in the same plaza as the Lion Market grocery store. Stopped in and picked up a drink/dessert/che and petite banh mi sandwich (comes with 2 finger-sized sandwiches). I chose the Vietnamese pannacotta with lychee (highlt recommended) and the Combo sandwich (filling was a bit pungent and overly salty). It was a refreshing drink/dessert and snack pairing nonetheless for a summer snack while I was in the area. Sweet drink vs. Salty/Savory/Strong sandwich. Free wifi with a several spots for seating along the wall/window. Unfortunately there weren't really any electric wall outlets to plug in and recharge here.

    Pandan coffee
    Raymond M.

    The banh mi was flavorful, but thinner compared to traditional banh mi's. It was a light snack that will not leave you feeling full. The sandwich came with Vietnamese pork roll, pâté, pork floss, and bits of dried shrimp. It didn't include vegetables, which is different from the typical banh mi that includes pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, and cilantro. The pandan coffee was rich, sweet, and creamy. However, I wish the coffee had been stronger to enhance its boldness.

    Salt Coffee

    I love the variety of cà phê sữa đá here! I've been here on multiple occasions and they never fail to keep me caffeinated all day. I've tried their cà phê muối (salt coffee), cà phê trứng (egg coffee), and cà phê lá dứa (pandan coffee). The cream tops and flavors here are strong but not overwhelming so my cà phê is still fragrant! Their cà phê sữa đá is small but mighty as it has a thicker consistency, diluting very well. I personally like the thicker consistency of the drinks because it has a stronger flavor too. Drinks are made quickly and I never have to wait for any longer than 5 minutes. The store itself is clean and spacious with a handful of tables and long booth. I highly recommend coming here but be sure to drink your drinks early as the caffeine here is super strong.

    I was in Lion Plaza and I noticed Cafes Quan close to Lion Market. I've been meaning to check them out. Parking is definitely better off hours in this plaza. The interior is nicely decorated and also seasonally decorated for Lunar New Year! A few tables and window stools to sit at. One unisex restroom only. Unfortunately, I was unable to try their sandwiches, but decided to get one of their drinks. Banana Matcha Einspanner (4/5). The banana foam was delicious and was a nice combination with the Matcha. Eat the cookie early unless you leave it in a break and stir it into your drink. Maybe that's the way. The drink was good but had too much ice in it and kinda pricey. I'll be back to try their banh mi and other drinks. Come support your local business.

    Cafes Quan really knows how to make their viet coffee just right. We started off our Christmas morning with a nice iced cup of craft coffee & some delicious mini banh mi! Cafes Quan really knows how to decorate for the holidays. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by a HUGE, beautiful Christmas tree! We ordered the Mini Pork Floss and the Mini Pate bani mi. The bread is toasted to perfection. It has a great crunch on the outside but is still soft and fluffy on the inside. Paired with the savory pate, each rich bite will leave you wanting more. For coffee, we got the black coffee with coconut milk, Ube coffee, egg coffee, and coconut coffee. They all were a lovely dark roast. My favorite was the coconuts coffee because they add toasted coconut chips on top. Kudos to our cashier who was really patient with us while we kept changing our order because everything sounded so good!

    I'd say it's a bit on the pricey end, but coffee in general is around $7 now. I asked what their bestseller was and order exactly that. The salted coffee was strong, the salty was concentrated in the cream top. I feel like you need to fix/let the coffee diffuse a bit otherwise it will just be strong. I enjoyed my drink! It was what I needed for a quick pick me up -- would come again to try their ube and other drinks!

    Chrysanthemum Longan Tea
    Karl G.

    Stopped by San Jose for some Vietnamese food and stumbled upon Cafes Quan, right as they were celebrating their 1-year anniversary with a special deal: $3.65 per drink for 365 days open -- love a good promo! We had already eaten breakfast at the nearby food court, but the aesthetic and vibe of this place immediately caught our attention. Ended up grabbing two drinks: - Chrysanthemum Longan Tea -- super refreshing herbal tea with floating longan fruit, chia seeds, and delicate chrysanthemum petals; light, floral, and perfect for cooling down - Salted Coffee -- stunning layered look with whipped cream on top and strong Vietnamese coffee below; rich, creamy, and bold with that signature kick The space is bright and modern with a clean black & white interior. One of the standout features is the wall art -- a series of unique sketches blending Parisian cafe vibes with Vietnamese charm: think bicycles, tea cups, berets, and towering coffee mugs. There are several two-seater tables plus bar seating along the window, ideal for catching up or solo work. Service was warm and friendly, and our drinks came out fast. Plenty of parking available in the surrounding plaza. They also serve banh mi and waffles, which I'll definitely be back for. Can't wait to return for my next Vietnamese coffee fix!

    Ordered the strawberry matcha- normal sweetness and regular ice. Omg no matcha flavor, tastes so bland, couldn't even taste the strawberry. I love the set up here, really nice. But the drinks were ehh.

    Parking is easy, space is ample, service is quick. Music is blasting but if you're into it, you're into it. We opted for the popular drinks: the egg coffee and the salted coffee. Both were good! The salted coffee was definitely the winner between the two. We'd return and would recommend if you're in the area.

    Banana Cream Matcha & Egg Coffee
    Shannon D.

    This was our first time at Cafes Quan. It was easy to find and parking was great! The shop was very bright, open and airy. There's plenty of seating available to sit and enjoy your drinks! The girl took our order. The Croc Waffles machine was broken. Bummed. So we just ordered drinks. We ordered the Banana Cream Matcha & Egg Coffee. Both drinks came in cute cups and looked amazing! They both didn't disappoint. My Egg Coffee was creamy and strong, just the way I like it! Next time we're in town, we'll be sure to go back! 10/10

    Annual visit to Lion Plaza for Lunar New Year shopping and enjoying viet coffee here. It's very clean and quiet here while the chaos with the parking outside. The drink came out fast and good as usual. This is like my tranquility shop from this plaza.

    Banana matcha latte
    Denise L.

    Cute coffee shop and tried the banana cream matcha latte. It was my first time having a banana matcha, and it was pretty but didn't taste a whole lot of banana. Appreciated the biscoff cookie though I had to take it out to stir up the drink. Plenty of seating and lots of drink options. They also have banh mi for $4!

It was a Wednesday and Devin and I were looking to make it a productive work day. We stopped by later in the afternoon. There is ample seating but most of the booths were occupied when we arrived so we sat at a table. Club music was being played loudly so working here would not be ideal if you have to present in meetings. The tropical paradise fruit tea would've been better with a topping or two, but in an attempt to cut down on calories consumed I've began getting drinks without toppings. Unfortunately fruit tea without toppings is just not the same, but this was totally my choice and on me. The WiFi worked well. There are some outlets under the booths but none at the tables. I've been to other Rose Tea Lounge locations and I'd say that this one is definitely more club-like than others. Not the ideal place to work remotely by any means, but that's not to say that the drinks are bad or ambiance is poor. If you're looking to chat and catch up with friends, this spot would be a good choice.

Huong Lan's parking is straightforward since it's in a huge parking lot that never gets crowded. The pain in the ass is leaving to go on the main road if it's busy since it's right next to a highway.
