This place is inviting if you're not a regular at VNese cafes. Good place to catch up with friends since not too noisy. Nor is it dark so it doesn't seem as divy/sketchy. TVs were not exclusively set to sports. Surprisingly, both ESPN and NFL Network were not on but other programming were (i.e., NBC Sports Network, Tennis Channel and some business news show). Rare for sure. However, the waitresses did not come by to refill teas, nor brought any napkins - even after we asked for it. Still, I can see why it's a popular cafe and I would definitely return. read more

Em Quyen Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Strong ice coffee, friendly service. Good space Beautiful girls . Worth checking out read more

Good place to drink coffee but if the coffee does not wake you up but there is something else. Wink wink

One of the better strip clubs in San Jose. The girls are often not wearing underwear on busy days! When things feel right, "happy hour" happens in which the women will get entirely naked (except some g-strings for those tips!) and do brief lap dances with willing patrons. Went back this past Thursday and Amber and Deanna were both there and they're amazing! Got dances from both. Yes, they don't allow women in (I'm using an anonymous account) and are wary of police but the girls are incredibly nice and accommodating! Tell your friends! No, it's not really a coffee shop. There's no food, it's cash only and there aren't any real specialty coffees. But there's special people. :) read more

This coffee shop has great service! We have a good time socializing with the waitresses here and they are so friendly! We all play cards together and just gossip! The coffee is strong and they always make sure my tea is filled! I'm really confused about the other comments this place is family friendly. The comments calling this a strip club is not true. The profile as you can see it claims that it's fake. I feel like that person are just racist against Asian establishment. read more

Coffee bar aficionados, you will not be disappointed is all I can say. A bit sketch. You will get what you came for and I'm not talking about the coffee. read more

Best coffee I've had in San Jose! BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!! I recommend this coffee shop to who ever needs a sip of tea and coffee stop by today! Will make you happy and enjoy ur day! read more

Wow, this place is awesome. I have quiet a commute to work everyday but I always stop by this coffee shop to pass the time by during traffic hours. I've been coming here for awhile now and the service and environment never disappoints. The music is great and gets my energy going, along with the coffee! I've tried every drink on the menu and it's delicious. I enjoy that there are TV's that keep up with the news and sports! The girls here are BEAUTIFUL and sexy!! Their uniforms are so cute and the girls usually always match with their colors! I'll always come back here!! read more

This is a nice place for guys (of all races) to meet, sip on a coffee or smoothie (try the avocado smoothie) and be served by beautiful sexy young friendly waitresses, Vietnamese and caucasian. Because of how the waitresses are dressed, women customers may not be comfortable here. You can get change at the cashier for tips as needed. It's customary to tip the waitresses during your stay, for extra attention. No food is served, but you are welcome to bring in food (not beverages) from the Grab Thai next door. Just make sure you order a drink here. I have really enjoyed my 4 recent visits here. read more

I can't really say much or recommend the place. I went there with a buddy to check it out for the very first time. Reasons I gave it 1 star only were: 1) No menus. As a new customer we would like to know what you are selling. Funny thing is my buddy was vietnamese and he overheard the waitress and the cashier talking about what they going to do, the customers are asking for menu. 2) They only have drinks, that's it. If you are looking for something to snack on while watching sports, go somewhere else. That explains they don't have a menu. 3) There were 2 good looking females. First one was caucasian, walking around serving tea but most of the time flirted with an old white guy maybe a regular. Second was asian petite very lazy. Came took our orders and sat her butt on the corner for the whole 20 mins. we were there. Did not even bother to ask how we were doing. With all these, I did not even bother leaving a tip. I hope they get to improve their service. read more

Surprisingly uninviting Vietnamese coffee shop. I guess, it is a good place if you are Vietnamese, know the language and also a regular. Otherwise you will see waitresses speaking with literally everyone else except you. Iced coffee is ok but for $8 you can get both better coffee and service at Starbucks. Nowadays it works only until 2 pm and gets overcrowded most of the time, especially on weekends. read more

After the first visit, you fall in love with this place, the waitresses are divine! Everything is fine! Want to come back here

I gave them an extra star because our server was nice. She's also tall too for an Asian chick. This place was quieter than our last stop. Coffee is $4 along with the fruit cocktails and plum lemonade. The place was bigger so it had more walking space, but where were all the clients at!!? read more

Em Quyen Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Just to be clear this is a cafe for guys who like to be served by sexy ladies. There is no hanky panky, just sexy ladies.

Good girll, nice place , all mans liked, good coffe, good drink, I hope they have good tips, tips,tips , anything is good ,yummy coffee's

Warning! Do not go here! The worst service I've ever had at any business, or restaurant period. The girls here are lazy. They sit around eating food and texting instead of helping customers. As far as employees at any sort of business, they are completely useless. I went in there and asked to use the restroom before I sat down to order, and was told that I couldn't use it before ordering. And, by the way, the bathroom was covered with piss and smelled like a porta potti. Then, once my iced coffee arrived, it was only half full. There were like 4 to 6 ice cubes sticking out above where the coffee was lol. The flavor was ok. They also bring the typical iced tea, but it never got refilled in the 45 minutes that I was there. But those girls, sat there and stuffed their faces with ribs, bbq, and one girl in a black and white zebra dress was eating noodles from a bowl with chopsticks while taking payment from a customer! What a fat little pig!! The other girl who was wearing some knock off victorias secret lingerie, just sat and chatted with her girlfriends the whole time I was there. Once again, useless. These girls are all fake. Fake boobs, and they were even flaunting their fake Louis Vuitton bags! hahaha This by far is the worst Viet coffee shop in San Jose, and they have the nastiest, useless, stupid girls working there. The girls are covered with bruises, stretch marks, and even look and smell like they don't shower. DON'T GO HERE!!!!!! YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!! SPEND YOUR MONEY AT ANY OTHER VIET CAFE. read more

Another disappointment! This is the worst coffee shop among the three sisters coffee shops (Quyen Cafe, Nguyen Expresso, and Em Quyen Cafe). The coffee shop is small and crowded. Tables and chairs are scattered everywhere. There's is no walking space at all. If you come here at the busy time of the day, you probably have to sit with some strangers. Even though the waitresses are not bad looking, their attitude is terrible. The services they provided are not up to par. During the whole time we were there, they never come by to refill our tea. I would not come back here again unless they change the way they serve their customers. read more

Really nice place for sport and the sound system is great. Many LCD and game machines NO SMOKING. Friendly waitress. Good Vietnamese Coffee. Lot of parking outside and near foodmax I really like the fact that this place is not ghetto like other place. So I rated about 4.5 stars. read more

This is a Vietnamese coffee/smoothie/tea shop that caters to mostly men. We came in today and not a single woman customer. There were over 5 nice looking gals serving tea, coffee, and smoothies. The service was good. The gals were very attentive, always filling our tea. We asked to watch football on one of the many TVs and they were happy to make it happen. Drink prices are decent for a place like this. Great place to hang out with your buddies but not a place to bring your girlfriend of wife. Will definitely visit again in the near future. Girls are all very good looking. read more

I went to Quyen Cafe on last Friday with a friend who was due to get married the next day. The day after he got married, my friend, his new wife, another couple, and I came to this cafe to see if there was any different than Quyen Cafe since they were so close together. This place is literally twice the size of the other. But the only problem was that for it being so big there were only 2 girls. What?! Twice the size and half the women! Ok, it was a Sunday afternoon and the place was pretty packed but I still expected the place to be staffed beyond the 2 girls that were there. Coffee here is better and is not as sweet as the other place. They also had a larger variety of items to chose from; coffee, shakes, and tea. I could be wrong on the selection because I didn't ask the other place if they had anything else other than coffee. So I'm a bit split between this place and the one down the street. 1 was smaller but had more girls and this place was twice as big but half as many girls. It's a toss up until I can come in here on a busier night to see how the girls really are on a busy night. Again like my last post, I'll reevaluate my rating after I've come here again. Enjoy! read more

This place can get HOT some times... you know what I mean!!! NO smoking is a PLUS. read more

1. Sound/Music: OK 2. Parking/Location: Good 3. Manager/owner: OK, needs to be more open and dress nicely and more appropriately. Not friendly owner and needs to show some respect to customers. Needs to get rid of old man 4. Waitresses: Good, need to be more friendly and creative 5. Drinks: Good and varieties 6. Table arrangement: not good, crowded, not good to seat with strangers. Owner always tries to squeeze customers into corners, occupied tables. 7. Safety: no escape back door, always over capacity. read more

Went with a couple of buddies. As another guys mentioned, "another disappointment! This is the worst coffee shop among the three sisters coffee shops (Quyen Cafe, Nguyen Expresso, and Em Quyen Cafe'. Usually short staff and the owner who is the youngest of the sisters, just ignores you when you are paying. read more

Fourth time here in last couple months. First three times, two girls a thin blonde white girl and thick asian both seem friendly. Just went again tall blond and very nice looking asian. The blond semi friendly but Asian gal not at all. She talked to a couple regulars in a corner. But everyone else just walk by pour tea not even a look or smile. I liked it before so I'll give it another try but if that one gal is there I'll go to another place. read more

Not going to lie I had no clue what this place was. All I saw was coffee, walked in and saw 25 men starring at me and 3 women in bikinis. That's one way to wake up on a Friday morning! I didn't get anything there. But I give it 3 stars for being a highlight of my day. read more

This place is super cramped and DIRRTY. The girls are pretty but you can tell that they are trying a bit too hard. I've experienced better, and the coffee was lacking in flavor, tasted super watery! I don't think I'll be stopping in read more

First time here. About one third filled. Lots of tables and chairs. Makes it a little hard to get where you want to go. My waitress was there as soon as I sat down. Nice looking- very short dress- pink and white horizontal stripes- very short- not see through- very nice cleavage and nice full T's. Short black hair neck line. Other waitress is similar shape- she is wearing a nice lacy dress type thing- nothing on underneath - very nice. One other gal appears to be the manager - wearing long white pants and a button up shirt - staying mostly behind the counter. Manager looks a lot like manger from another cafe. atmosphere was nice. Lots of TV's. But who is watching TV. Not me. Plenty of nice views of the gals. read more

Ambiance: long establishment with chairs facing the center. Waitresses: Latina was stunning and cute. Other two Asians working at the time I went were decent. One was wearing a red skirt, a lot prettier. She was checking herself out quite a bit behind the counter. AM: great fan service, very crowded. PM: if you get the right waitress, easier to talk to. Crowd: average age is about 40, they could be my dad. Some sprinkling of younger folks but we were the youngest. Nothing sketch. Drinks: very limited selection, avocado was decent, not too sweet. Music: good decent selection but they have it on replay. Overall: want some sights? Come during the morning hours before 11. Want more personal time and interaction? Come after 5. Will be going back, but too many people in the AM. read more

Just like any other Vietnamese coffee shop really besides its on the smaller size. When I went here over the Memorial weekend, the crowd was a little older than the places where I go to. The girls come around ask you want you want to drink and serve you tea. The music that was playing that morning was some type of EDM. It is a nice and chill spot and the music is not too loud so you can still ahve a conversation with whoever you are with. I haven't been to a coffee shop in a while but there were not video games at this spot. read more

Mom and Daughter are running this joint. Very unpleasant to be here while both talking craps about customers in Vietnamese language. It sucks when we just got there, the Daughter came out and was taking our order. The mother volunteered to go make drinks while she was mopping the floor. Hate coming here, the place is always empty and mostly seeing few old farts that hits on the fat Daughter. Boring place to hang out. read more

It has a nice street view when u r siting inside. I went there in a raining day, siting beside the large window, I was looking out of the window while listening to kind of love music, tasting a bitter of coffee alternation sweetie of milk. I like the environment there. NO SMOKING INSIDE: +++ __+++ Waitress = tall, pretty and young, they r wearing bikini, thong or see through dress (without underwear sometime). They r friendly when u talk to them. GOOD TIME TO GO IS AFTERNOON n NIGHT when it's not a lot of people. read more

Compare to vi sao cafe this place and the other tha sis coffee shop are disappointing in everyway except for 288 cafe that a whole different story. read more

Tom O. is completely right with the customer service. Worst customer service I've ever experienced at a Vietnamese coffee shop and I've been to many. Grab a seat. Waited 10 minutes for someone to come take our order. None of the girls come. -We wave our hands signalling we want our order taken. They're too busy chatting and texting. -We have to go up to the counter and tell them what we want. -Orders come and they give us our drinks. They don't even serve us the tea like the other tables. -We go pay and then the cashier lady doesn't remember how much money she gave us. Go somewhere else, the girls are just aite looking here. That one girl Christina from Nha Em works here now. Last time I'll ever go to this place. BTW. this place is just filled with older Vietnamese doods in their 40s and 50s here. No young crowd here. read more

Vietnamese coffee... yummy! Too bad there's no food here, but otherwise, a decent place for some coffee and tea. It's not the best place to watch a football game here, but when in need for a coffee fix, come here. read more

This place is a gem, if you appreciate the Vietnamese styled cafes. Unlike others, it's located in a crime free shopping center and the interior is clean & modern. Tv's are good showing plenty of sports & news. Wifi is strong and drinks are tasty served in style. Another positive is that there's no smoking inside which should go without saying but must be said. On top of it all, is that they have the most beautiful, um, coffee in San Jose. Judge for yourself. read more

I usually come here to get some work done. The visual is usually nice in the afternoon on a weekday. A major plus is they don't allow smoking inside... read more

not bad...coffee is good ...the girls are nice......these girls only talk to older men....the young ones....maybe not enough tips......to paid for their upgrades...but however not a bad place....a plus for non smoking read more
