I don't usually order matcha out anymore since I prefer to make it at home but I wanted to give this place a try. I got the double matcha less sweet and it was pretty solid. I think if I had gotten the regular sweet it would've been too sweet for me. The matcha flavor was subtle though, but still not bad. If you're a matcha lover I'd say this is a good spot.

I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink. Would get again. For the eggspresso hanoi, honestly this is what I get almost every time I come here. Always get the 50% sweetness with less ice. Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

Finally visited and so very glad we did!! * Location: Cafe is just off Alum Rock Ave in the heart of Little Portugal. Cafe has a small parking lot, plenty of street parking as well. * Interior: Snug, warm, & welcoming.! Cafe layout is efficient & practical with ordering counter/food prep area, tables for guests (some outdoor seating available as well), and TV views for local news & futbol. * Menu is concise but tasty (coffee, tea, sandwiches, sweets, soft drinks, beer, wine) * Owner is incredibly kind, made us feel at home, & described his magic to pulling espresso just right. * Food & Drink: Simple& incredibly tasty! We tried 1 ham & cheese sandwich (toasted & warm), 1 tuna sandwich, 2 espressos. Everything was even better than we'd hoped for and the mouthwatering photos we saw pre-visit were 100% accurate. Tips: 1. Cafe is cash & Venmo only; 2. Leave room to try the desserts!! Can't wait to go back & try more!

Must come back and try other menu items for sure Don't forget to shake or vigorously before poking the lid with your straw!

RANG Final…read moreThoughts: 4.50/5 Review for Rang. They have weekly matcha pop ups at Rose Tea Lounge. Original location is in Elk Grove, but they are here in San Jose area. Kind of hard to see and find them? given that there aren't really any signs posted outside. I perhaps wouldn't have known about it if my friend didn't tell me about it. Drink: Guava Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This is their matcha with house-made guava puree at the bottom and topped with silky guava foam. Their foam is so nice and creamy. Felt very light and just thick enough. Silky consistency that mixed well with the drink. My friend noted that they make it fairly sweet, so I opted for the 25%. This was still quite sweet for me. Each component is sweet itself, so when you combine it, its mostly just sweet. No tartness to cut any of it. Perhaps the guava has something to do with that. Guava is a sweet fruit in general, so I seemed to expect as much. The matcha itself had a nice color to it. Very vibrant. Light bitterness. Lovely consistency overall. I like each component separately and I like them together when it's fully combined. Strawberry Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This was my friends drink and I also really liked it. Had to try it for my review purposes. Per their Door Dash description, this is their matcha latte with their home-made strawberry puree and topped with velvety strawberry foam. There really wasn't much of a difference with this one and mine besides the fruit. His was slightly more tart than mine, which is something I like. Again, the drink itself leans more on the sweet side, so any sort of tartness would be nice to cut some of that. Matcha color is amazing. Nice and vibrant. Lovely silky consistency. I like the ratio of fruit flavor and matcha. Some places will make it just taste like milk, others have an imbalance of flavors. This one was just right for me. --------- Quality: Ceremonial Matcha and whisked to order We saw them whisk the matcha to order. Not really a display cooking kind of counter, but they do do all of that in the front where the cashiers are. You are able to watch if you so choose. I do like the matcha that they use, so it seems like a high quality one. That or it's because they aren't batching their matcha like other places. I understand that batching doesn't make it lower quality, but something about whisking it fresh is always better. Price: Average Will depend on the drink, but the prices are around $7 to $9. For our drinks, average around $8.25 per drink. Quite a common price range for a cup of matcha. This one was made well, so no complaints here. There was no upcharge for the oatmilk, which is always a plus for us. Service: Whisked matcha fresh No interactions today. We ordered directly on the kiosk and then just waited for our drinks to come out. Something that I like is that they whisk and make the matcha in front of us. Kind of hard to see, given my height and spot that we were standing, but they do whisk it in the front for us. Of note, they use this hand towel or cloth to wipe the bowls. Not sure how sanitation does with that, but I digress. Just an observation for today. Ambiance: Quaint Flower Café Vibes This place is giving very quaint flower café vibes. I would totally work here if I could work from home or if I needed to study. Space is incredibly spacious on the inside contrary to how the outside and plaza area is looking. Little dim lit inside, but that might be from the little lighting that's hitting through the windows given the angle and evening sun. Location/Parking: Small Plaza This place is like a pop-up/collaboration with Rose Tea Lounge. There's really no label for it outside of the storefront, but when you go into the café and on the kiosk, you can directly order from them. Kind of interesting how it works and I probably would have never seen it if my friend didn't bring me here. Location is not the best as it is right in a smaller plaza on the side of Story Road near the 101 freeway. At least they chose an area that is slightly less saturated. Vietnam Town is really close by and they really do have too much going on over there sometimes. Parking lot is also small, but it seems to work well with the smaller plaza size.

The ice cream is so velvety and pairs so well with the coconut and avocado flavors. The avocado smoothie took long and was icey, so I'd skip it next time. My relatives enjoyed both the shaken yogurt strawberry and kumquat with salted plum. All drinks weren't too sweet! We also ordered the chicken cartilage which was so yum. I really liked this spot!

Buon Me Cafe is located in the Grand Century Mall within the commercial block of a Walmart Supercenter and Vietnam Town. The atmosphere is made to resemble Vietnam in the 60's & 70's with vintage-inspired and nostalgic interior that recreates the cozy atmosphere and street vibe of old Saigon. Aside from the retro murals, there were displays of antique relics like a tricycle scooter (outside by the door), charcoal clothes-pressing iron, gramophone and a cast metal manual sewing machine. It felt like I was having a meal in a museum with sentimental memories of my grandparent's house in the Philippines. A older gentleman approached us to take our orders but immediately retreated and summoned a younger server who spoke English. She was helpful and attentive. For our caffeine fixes, My wife got the creamy and sweet Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng) while I had the traditional Vietnamese Phin Coffee set of civet coffee (cà phê chồn). This elaborate coffee set-up was served in a tray with the paperless metal filter pour-over system, carafe of condensed milk, cup of jasmine tea and a glass of ice cubes. I learned after that this was representative of an authentic, premium Vietnamese café experience as intense, slow-dripped phin coffee is almost always served alongside a complimentary glass of hot or iced jasmine tea to cleanse the palate between rich sips. Our adventurous Friday brunch continued with us sharing the Stir-Fried Ribeye Skillet (Bánh Mì Chảo Bò Ribeye Xào) and Fried Chicken Cartilage (Sụn Gà Chiên). Both dishes, not our usual breakfast fare, were otherwise filling and tasty dishes to accompany our creative brews. Can't wait to go back and sample the other dishes in their extensive menu.
