    It's been so long since I was last at Lacaphe and I'm glad I was able to visit again recently!…read moreDevin and I got banh mis at Duc Huong and were looking for another place to squat and be productive on a Tuesday afternoon and even though we had already gotten some beverages earlier I figured we could walk towards this spot just for nostalgia's sake. Temperatures were just under 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The air conditioning was great in here, not freezing cold but cool enough to be comfortable. There were a few other tables of people with their laptops out, and I was excited to see that they have expanded since my last visit and added more seating for customers. The lotus milk tea is still one of my favorites in the whole city. We sat at a table so there was no outlet, but I can't remember if there were outlets along the walls for the booth seating. The WiFi worked well and if there was background music it was not being blasted loudly. I would definitely keep this spot top of mind if I needed a reliable spot to work remote again, especially since there is now more seating than there used to be. Looking forward to coming by again soon!

(On a funny note: I did not know that they were going to open another location in Fremont, so I'm definitely attending their grand opening when they DO open in Fremont. Fingers crossed that I will be able to attend their grand opening. While I like the cherry blossom concept behind it, it left me rather disappointed when it came to the service and making of the drinks. While the coffee shop felt spacious and more than enough space to accommodate everybody, it just felt rushed throughout the whole time I was there. Their drinks were another dimension. I got their EGGspresso Hanoi, which surprisingly, was not bad at all. I loved how consistent the egg batter was, and the consistency of the coffee was quite equal. I will be back to try their other drinks, and hoping that their customer service could improve just a little bit more. I know they have the potential, but being more courteous goes a very long way compared to being bland in attitude, obviously.

    Truly a hidden gem of a place…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner and told about some of the menu. The prices range from $4-$7 and that is very cheap. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and like a European cafe. The coffee even tasted like European espresso. It was perfect. I ordered the linguica sandwich with tomatoes and onions and let me tell you, extremely well balanced sandwich. A little acid from the juicy tomato (not watery) salt and spices from the linguica, butter, and a light fluffy but crispy roll was amazing. He delivered the food to our table one by one and I wouldn't say he was hustling but was working effectively while chatting with what seemed to be regular customers. Extremely friendly and relaxed. I think that it's nice that it's a "pay when you're ready" kind of place rather than a "pay upfront". It adds a lot to the laid back atmosphere. If we are in the area, we'll 100% come back as there's not many places that have the European cafe vibe in the Bay Area.

    I'm not Portuguese, but this place feels the real deal to me. I've been to Portugal a few times, so…read moreI'll count that. The coffee is great, the sandwiches are delicious and everything is priced fairly. Just remember to bring cash. I'm always happy to support a family owned spot that delivers quality over any overpriced place serving mediocre food. This is an easy five stars.

    This is the cutest little coffee trailer!!! I found it at Last Chance Restaurant in Santa Clara,…read morebut it also does popups in San Jose as well. There are so many yummy drinks to choose from!! Coffee and Red Bull! So far I have tried the Cookie Butter Latte, Mazapan latte, Dulce de leche latte, Pumpkin spice latte, and the Red Bull Fresca con creme. My favorites are the cookie butter, pumpkin, and the Red Bull drink was so good!!! The pumpkin latte might be the best pumpkin drink I've had all season! I highly recommend that one before it goes away!!! Service is so sweet and friendly. It's a one man (woman) band so it may take a minute to make your drinks but it's definitely worth it!! The trailer vibe is so cute and pink. Follow Primero Cafecito Instagram so you can see where she pops up next!!

I got the Mazapan latte and a Cookie Butter latte (I'm obsessed so I had to), and my husband went with the Coco Puffs latte after struggling to pick because there are so many choices. The wait wasn't bad we got there right before a rush which worked out perfectly. As for the drinks, my mazapan latte didn't have much flavor. Mazapan is subtle in general, so I kind of expected that, but I feel like it needed a little something extra to bring it out.. maybe caramel drizzle? The cookie butter latte was really good but definitely on the sweeter side I couldn't finish it, but if you love sweet coffee, you'll probably love it. My husband didn't love his drink because it didn't taste like it had much coffee in it more like flavored milk. I would come back, but I'd probably ask for less sweetness next time. Overall, fun spot with unique drinks just depends on your sweetness preference!

It wasn't too busy on a Friday night and was quickly seated. Restaurant is rustic with wooden chairs, tables and couches. Mural and big display on the walls. We started with mixed rice paper salad. Instead of vegetables, it's cut up rice paper with mango, nuts, quail eggs and chilies. It was different and we liked it. Great way to start a meal. We tried the sizzling filet mignon pot. It had sunny side egg, pate, sausage, filet mignon, cheese and other stuff. Served with a baguette that you can dip on the sauce. It was delicious.... Might be too heavy for others and can be shared. Meat was tender and juicy. What a combo! Would try the ribeye version next time. We ordered some desserts to close out our meal. First, we had the avocado cream. I suggest mixing the two cry cream with the avocado cream. I was ok with it. We also ordered the sweet dessert. It came with lychee, Pandan, and seedy drink. Great way to end the evening. Staff was very efficient. Came up with an iPad to take your orders. To pay, you go to the counter similar to other Vietnamese places.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal the first time we came here that we decided to come back…read more Granted it was a holiday weekend ( Memorial day) so we already expected the restaurant to be very busy. We walked in and caught one of the server's attention to ask for a table for 2. Server gestured to the notebook by the door so we put our name down . There was a bigger group behind us, and when one of the staff walked up they intercepted him/her in Vietnamese and was seated before us (although we were there first) . I said that's fine, maybe they have a bigger table, let's wait. So we sat on the side to wait. Then a family ( parents and 2 young kids) walked in.. a server walked up and again they spoke in Vietnamese and was seated RIGHT AWAY. We couldn't even catch the server's attention, they just walk past us. We decided to leave and take out hungry asses to another restaurant who acknowledged our non-Vietnamese speaking presence.
