The shop is clean and stylish, and the drinks come in reusable glasses and mugs, rather than defaulting to plastic cups. There is not a dedicated parking lot (it is stationed beside an apartment complex), but there is some street parking available in easy walking distance. The servers are friendly and quick, and there is a wide but not overwhelming variety of drink (mostly coffee/espresso and some matcha) and food (cake slices, waffles, and dessert toasts) options available. You can also preorder whole cakes from them. The coffee is decent, but I find that $7 is a little steep for a latte that doesn't really stand out. I can sort of justify it by thinking that I'm also paying for the lovely space to work as well. The desserts are also a bit pricy, at around $10 per piece (and the pieces aren't huge). Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a place to sit down for a while to read, study, or relax, despite the somewhat pricy menu.

Every inch of the cafe is thoughtfully decorated with romantic, feminine touches that make the space feel charming and inviting. For drinks, my favorite is the salted Vietnamese coffee. It has the perfect balance of bold coffee, creaminess, sweetness, and a subtle hint of salt.

They have a…read morevery extensive menu, from viet/french pastries, banh mis, and drinks. ordering is super easy on a kiosk. For my first visit, i got 2 croffle with durian cream and a roasted rice milk tea. Croffle blew me away Croffle with durian cream 5/5: Ive been eating a lot of croffles and waffles lately, and omg the croffle here was DELICIOUS. It was MORE CROISSANT than waffle, whereas i feel like it's more common to get the opposite. It was buttery and flakey despite holding the shape and crispyness of a waffle. The cream they pair it with is the same cream for drinks, not like chantilly cream or something. I didnt enjoy the durian cream with the croffle, but it might be better with the other creams. I ended up pouring the durian cream into the roasted rice milk tea and it was *chefs kiss* Roasted rice milk tea 5/5 : i got less ice and 50% sweet and the roasted scent was so fragrant still. It was very refreshing yet had the delicious taste of browned rice grains. I added durian cream from my croffle and it worked out really well. I plan to go back to get their cheese rolls and pandan waffles as those looked pretty good as well.

The flavor here is very strong -- you can actually taste the roasty nuttiness of the hojicha and it is not diluted at all.

Not impressed with this place. The competition of tea shops are high and hence the expectation…read more This tiny store has no seating areas and it's right next to another restaurant that I almost missed it. The lack of decoration and even an outdated appearance is unattractive. The cloth hung between the front and kitchen is dirty with stains. The place is focused on matcha and I wanted to get something more tea focused and less milky; among all the choices, I picked earl grey with matcha latte. It's pricey. For $7.25, there's limited choices complementary. If you want it no ice, $2 extra. If you want cream top, extra. The minimum sugar level is 50% and I don't mind getting 0. When I got the drink, the layer of white sweet cream kind of material is at the bottom. Although it looks dreamy and artsy, the first sip was too sweet. I had to fully mix everything to make the tea drinkable. Also second sip, there's something artificial in the taste. So all in all, a 3 star and probably hard to find a reason to come back.

Coffee and Chai is a great spot for studying as there are lots of tables and it's quiet. Our barista today also turned out to be the owner of the cafe. Such a sweet, accommodating man!! We got a masala chai, a cardamom chai, and a matcha latte- all hot cos it's so chilly in San Jose around this time of year. I preferred the masala chai, but both chai lattes were yummy! Spiced so deliciously and definitely helped warm us up. My grandpa got the matcha and was pleased with the taste as it was unsweetened but not bitter at all. Regardless of whether you need a quick pick-me-up, a local study/work spot, or even someplace to catch up, this lovely cafe should be the next place you try out!

Drinks were also super delicious! I love how there are actually fun coffee drinks to go with the cafe, and it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. The cat area was super clean, and there are toys to play with the cats. Cats are available for adoption too! We loved it here, and the price was really fair. It was about 28 dollars for the entire experience and it includes one hour of cat time and a drink. Make sure to be on time for your reservation because you can only go in during the hour you reserved. If you are ten minutes late, you don't get an extra ten minutes after the hour is up. So worth it and would recommend for anyone to try!
