A new café serving up delicious drink and bites near the Silver Creek Country Club and Coyote Creek -- the owners and staff are so sweet, gave us great recommendations and were very kind! The Croissant Waffle was delicious, love the dipping cremes! The Banana Matcha was creamy without being too sweet, loved the Lychee Lemonade too. I'll totally be back! read more

My partner brought me back a Thai-ra-misu drink with egg pudding after their grand opening--and it was great! A bit creamier than a typical Thai iced tea and more cinnamon-y. Definitely would try again! read more

Insomnibar - Thai-Ra-Misu with egg pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Loved the coconut silk tofu! It's just the right amount of sweetness, super soft, and they offer a smidge of coffee to pour into it too and I found that it pairs well! We tried the pressed croissant too. Great texture, great flavor on the pandan dip. But it was a litttle pricey, I think either $6.95 or $7.95 before tax? Other places serve similar items for $5-6. Otherwise enjoyed our visit here and would definitely come back! The staff was really kind and checked in to make sure everything was good. There's a few tables both inside and outside and lots of people were using it as a study spot it seemed. Oh! And they bumped great music too. read more

Insomnibar offers a variety of drinks and food. This location is right off the 101 and Silver Creek. It's easy to find and has plenty of parking. I've tried Insomnibar several times, and the drinks have been perfect. The matcha and black tea are a must try. I like their pricing as everything is usually included, like dairy alternatives and up to 2 toppings. The boba is always perfectly done with the right amount of bite and sweetness. The new Peach Lemongrass tea is perfectly sweet, and the tea jelly adds the perfect amount of bitterness. The owner and staff are very friendly. They have great decor and are always playing great music. If you're in South San Jose, I definitely recommend stopping by and supporting this small business. read more

So far I've tried the coffee drinks and boba and prefer the boba drinks when coming here. Its located right off the freeway in an emptyish shopping area. The inside is cute and relaxing if wanting to stay for your drinks but I always get To-go. Later in the evening their good options are sometimes sold out but its close location to my house so i may come back again. Service was smooth and not slow. read more

Obsesssssssssssssssed with the lychee lemonade!!!! I got it and went back two days later for another. The Biscoff coffee was very strong and not very sweet, which is how I like my coffee, so I wasn't too much of a fan /: but will 100% go back for the lemonade and try some other stuff. The staff was so great! The shop is smaller but has outdoor seating too. read more

Came here curious to try the unique flavors! First off, in an odd plaza but lots of parking! Ordered on a kiosk and drinks took awhile to make although there were no orders ahead & 4 workers. Inside aesthetic was nice as there were a few desks for studying! For the drinks themselves, we all got less sweet but it was still on the sweet side in my opinion. The Thai Tea was definitely my favorite out of these 2 with a very nice thai authentic flavor. Still very sweet but it's amazing if you enjoy that! read more

I just found this place called Insomnibar and it's so good! The Vietnamese coffee is very on point. The Biscoff Matcha Latte is delicious as well. They also feed some stray cats in the area! I think that's so amazing. Will definitely be coming here more often and hopefully see the cats too! read more

For the pandan coffee, I loved the lightly salted, pandan cold foam. I liked that I could choose to add caffeine for my husband's drink, and get less caffeine on mine. I also appreciate that there are small drinks that I can get for my daughter, or for myself if I don't want to drink too much. The food is also great (eaten too fast, so no pic). I got a ham and egg sandwich that was so tasty, filling, and pretty. The shrimp egg rolls were also delicious! My only issue with this place is that there are too many good options, so it's hard to choose! Definitely check it out if you are ever in San Jose! read more

I got a drink here and I will say, it was quite watered down. That being said, it was so pretty (nice gradient) and the lychee jelly was amazing. Staff was kind and atmosphere was clean. The drink was mediocre so probably wouldn't go back unless there was a specific reason, but not the worst boba I've ever had. read more

This place was a little bit out of the way, but I was so excited to try it, I had to come all this way. If you're ever looking for a place to study or meet with a friend, this is the place to be. The parking lot is plenty full and the employees were so kind to make us all these wonderful drinks on site! I heard about this place on Instagram and wanted to give a try in my favorite was definitely the strawberry Matcha! The aesthetic of the place is very clean and eye catching. The only thing is that the price for the drinks are on the pricier side, since they are treating them as if they are mocktails. But if you're going out for a treat, I definitely think it's worth a try! read more

I went with a couple of friends right after work and came right when they opened. Ample parking. The ambiance is in the room was very chill and mellow. It has a very aesthetic type of interior. The staff was very nice. Since it was only me and my friends, the service was super fast. I got a Tiramisu matcha latte, matcha latte, cheese totes, and garlic butter fries. Both matcha lattes were too milky and did not have enough of a matcha taste. It was also too light in color. I wish there was options for an extra shot of matcha. The cheese tots are essentially like mini mozzarella sticks. They were a bit oily, but a delicious and simple snack. The garlic butter fries are crispy. I highly recommend getting extra of their sauces on the side! If you're willing to drive further, there are much better options for matcha and snacks! read more

Came to try out since it's a new boba stop on the San Jose map. It's in the silver creek/ hellyer area so not a whole lot around it yet. There was a lot of parking which was nice. The shop itself is nicely decorated. The lighting is really pretty so is great for atmosphere and taking pictures. This is the first time I've ever seen a boba shop offer Jaritos soda. Our drinks were good. The honeycomb coffee wasn't as strong as some other viet coffees. This one is more on the milky side. The lychee and li hing mui had good flavors. Our ordering was easy with a short wait time. Over all it was a good experience. read more

I've been searching for some good matcha and I fear I found my favorite spot! The banana matcha was 10/10, it does let you customize for sweetness. The banana latte was good however does have a prominent coffee after taste and I prefer a more sweeter taste but still good. The potted coffee was way too strong for my preference but if you're looking for a something strong that's the drink for you. I also go the fries from here and they were delicious. Highly recommend the cherry cheese pastry however did sell out last time I went closer the 6pm. Also this place is so aesthetically pleasing, very cozy and cute. They have two self serving kiosk's however there are barista's there if you have questions. read more

Stopped by this spot after getting off work early in much need of some caffeine. I have been eyeing this spot for awhile, since the drink flavors look interesting and the pictures look great. FOOD [7/10] Dirty Taro - "Taro Milk Latte with a shot of Phin Drip Coffee" and added the Himalayan Salt Cold Foam (+$0.95). Wasn't exactly what I expected. From the pictures online I thought the colors of the drink would be richer and have a stronger coffee flavor. I had doubts before ordering bc of the taro milk latte description. but overall the drink was nice. but i wouldn't order if you're looking for a vietnamese coffee forward flavor. Insomnia Latte - "Matcha + Phin Drip Coffee + Cane Sugar + Choice of Milk". Ordered the Insomnia Latte for a friend togo. Personally think this drink looks better, and more accurate to the menu pictures. Can't really rate it since I haven't tried. SERVICE The staff were friendly and greeted everyone that walked in, but it was a self service kiosk. They also had two inside the store. AMBIANCE Really cute spot to grab a drink with a friend. I like that they have a bunch of seating choices insid. They were playing really good rnb in there too, but i wouldn't say it'd be my first choice as a study spot. read more

I love their banana matcha so much! It's my to-go order. It is so so amazing probably the best banana matcha EVER. You order on a kiosk, but the workers are really sweet. The interior and atmosphere is also very nice and chill. Only downside is that the price is pretty steep. $8.25 for small cup of matcha plus tax almost making it $9 when the small cup is really small and mostly ice at times which disappoints me. There are better prices out there for more money. And also the location is kind of far from most areas/neighborhoods. read more

Insomnibar - Thai-ra-misu & banana matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I tried the banana matcha while my sister got the berry matcha cloud. I didn't try her drink but she really enjoyed it! The banana matcha was sooo good as the perfect treat with less sweetness and boba added. I love how you can get up to two toppings with no additional charge (assuming that it's already included within the price). The boba was syrupy and soft while the matcha latte topped with banana cream tasted so fresh. You can feel the bits of banana used for the cream. The matcha lacks a certain earthiness that I would expect but I still enjoyed the drink for the banana cream. The fluffy and airy cream reminds me of a really good banana pudding. I would love to come back and try Insomnibar's other drinks! It's a small store with a really nice, clean, and fancy ambiance. I love the unique vibes here since it's simple and dark with beautiful decorations. There's two kiosks to order from, located at the back of the cafe and at the front entrance. Staff were welcoming and friendly as well. I came in at about 2 pm and the store was packed with some people unable to secure seating. read more

Insomnibar - Banana matcha latte and berry matcha cloud - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Final Thoughts: 3.00/5 Hmm it'll have to be a 3 star for me today. Seems to be a new boba place within the San Jose area. My friends and I have tried so many, so we're always on the hunt for new spots to try. Honestly, there wasn't anything significant about the drinks or interactions. Overall, the experience was just alright for today. Drink: Strawberry Cloud Matcha, Less Sweet, Silk Almond Milk: 2.8/5 Pros first. I appreciate that they offer almond milk. While I prefer oat milk over cow milk any day, almond milk is usually my preference because of how light and nutty it is. Multiple layers to the drink, which is nice. I like the strawberry puree at the bottom because that natural taste. The milk/drink is too sweet for me considering it's "less sweet". Different places have varying levels, but this is just my personal preference. For the matcha, it's really light for me. When combined, the drink ended up just tasting like sweetened milk with strawberry milk cream on top. My least favorite in this was definitely the strawberry cream. It tastes like whipped strawberry milk in a carton; the ones that are very artificially flavored. The strawberry puree at the bottom would have sufficed for me. This flavor ended up overpowering the remainder of the drink, which did take away from my drink for me. Banana Matcha Latte, Regular Sweet, Boba, Coffee Jelly: 3.0/5 Friend's drink choice and I tried it for review purposes. Slightly prefer this drink because the consistency of the drink and there's just something about banana in a matcha latte that just makes sense. The matcha flavor is also light here. More sweet versus that earthy bitterness to it. Sweetness for this one was overly sweet for me. Of note, the boba topping and coffee jelly were added to this one, so perhaps there was a lot of flavor profiles in this drink. The few bites of boba I had were fine. The coffee jelly was just kind of there. Not too much of a bitterness to it and only really contributed to the texture component. Consistency was good. That slightly thickened latte was chef's kiss. For the flavor of the banana, the flavor is present, but the balance and ratios of flavors still seems off for me. Everything just kind of mixed together and mellowed out, so the end result was mostly just sweetened milk at the end. Cups: This was just an observation. From the other yelp reviews and pictures, I noted that they previously had those really cute, short and stump looking bubble cups. I was actually looking forward to this on the way there. We did end up getting regular cups, which is slightly disappointing, but I digress. --------- Quality: Aight Their matcha seems to be of optimal quality. Prior to being mixed, the color of the matcha is quite nice. It does give a deep and rich color. Of note, when the drink is fully mixed, the color is quite light compared to other places that I've tried. Perhaps it's the quanity. Their matcha is pre-mixed and not made to order. Small ladles are used to scoop and pour in the amounts, so my concern is perhaps the standardization of the recipes. I understand why that's done and perhaps that doesn't take away from the overall quality though. Price: $$$ This was truly my first impression of this boba shop and looking at the menu on the kiosk. These prices lean on the higher side. Our total came out to be around $18, which is averaged out to $9 per drink. Typically, drinks will be more around $6 to $8 these days. I understand that it is just a single dollar more, but that different can be deemed significant given what these items are. The average for their drinks here are more around $7 to $9 perhaps. Service: Limited Interactions They have multiple kiosks so we had very limited interactions. We order and then they call us to pick up the drinks. Honestly, we actually would have had zero interactions if we just took our drinks and left. Interesting singular interaction. We went back to the table and took pictures of the drinks. Rarely would I ever shake my drink by flipping it, but I decided to today. Big mistake because the drinks were not entirely sealed properly leading to my drink splashing everywhere. My friend decided to check his drink too and found that his was not properly sealed either. Perhaps this was just an accident, but I have observed other places checking and thoroughly wiping the drinks before delivering due to situations like these. They were nice enough to reseal it for us, but it was just a little unfortunate of an event. Ambiance: Sleek and modern This interior is super sleek and very much to my aesthetic. The ceilings are high and interior looks very modern. I like the black and white that is happening and it makes the place look high end and classy. Location/Parking: Secluded This location is on Silver Creek Valley Road and near Fontanoso Way. Kind of secluded here, but I digress. Parking isn't a big concern. There are optimal spots here given the number of places present here. read more

Insomnibar - Large Banana Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

New modern/trendy looking place that is kind of a mixed gray area right now. Banana Matcha Latte - 3/5 I think this was more sweet than anything else albeit the aftertaste from the banana milk makes it feel more artificial than anything else. Matcha is basically non existence in flavor profile. Boba - 2.5/5 Started off strong, chewy and not tasteless, but near the end got lots of overcooked and flavorless boba. Cons right now for me: Location is kinda in the middle of no where, in a plaza that is not normally food/coffee related. Hours, closing at 4 daily, fit more of a morning coffee thing, which makes their menu (not very coffee forward) seem a bit of an odd choice. Workers didn't check our two drinks, both drinks had a faulty seal so tilting/shaking it caused both to spill. Not sure if they missed it as well, but after re-sealing, they "wiped" it with a towel or something that had some of the banana cream, so my drink also came back a mess. Everywhere on Instagram and menu pictures keep seeing the cute round-ish cups but you end up with a regular standard cup. read more

While they're still in their soft-opening phase, I have one burning question: what possessed them to price their drinks at nearly $8 when the cups are barely 8-10 ounces--and half of that is ice? Ambition? Audacity? To their credit, the staff is incredibly kind. No complaints there. Service did take a bit longer, but with only one person working on a weekday, it's understandable. Still, considering the location--a city oversaturated with matcha cafés and boba shops offering larger portions for $6-$7--I genuinely wonder what their internal reasoning was when finalizing this menu. What market gap were they aiming for? What customer profile did they envision paying premium prices for small-format drinks? I'm curious to see how their strategy evolves once they move past soft opening. read more

I got the iced banana coffee and I'm very surprised at how the barista was able to get a 50-50 on the bitterness and sugar. Usually a coffee is a bit too sweet or too bitter, but this one was really balanced out. The service was fast and I like how on the ordering machine it had a little note saying that the bagel will take a bit longer. Took about 15 minutes for mine but very soft, very tasty. I will be coming back here. The ambience consists of a dark tinted neon yellow theme. Basically feels like a bar, but all coffee. read more

The ambience and staff that was working here are really great. It's a great atmosphere to do work and take aesthetically pleasing photos. It also has free WiFi that's a bonus! I like how there's free lactaid out for my lactose intolerant buddies out there. Only problem is that the size of the drink is very small with 90% of the cup being ice for $8. My friends got bigger regular size cups for $8-9 and I saw other people with regular sized cups with fruit tea as well. I wish there was an option to choose a bigger size cups and/or specify the ounce size prior to ordering. Maybe mine was a specialty drink, but that doesn't really justify its pricing. read more

Tasty drink. I got the jasmine milk tea with brown sugar crystal boba. Staff was friendly and shop was warm and inviting. I look forward to visiting again in the future. Only con was, and other reviews have said this, there was too much ice and no option for a larger cup. For $7.50, I would like a little more for what I am paying. Maybe the amount of ice makes sense for the Viet coffees, but the milk teas don't need that much. I could barely get the boba at the bottom because the ice was packed on top of it... read more

It's hard to find a place that doesn't make an overly sweet Vietnamese iced coffee but Insomnibar made it perfectly! I also tried so many of their food items and they all tasted fresh and tasty! I am so picky about my fries but the garlic fries were the perfect texture and flavor, not too garlicy/messy, just the right balance. I got the cilantro jalapeño sauce to dip them in which tasted fresh and elevated the flavor of the fries. I also gotta say that I am not an eggroll person at all but I tried theirs and it had a very satisfying light crispy texture on the outside, not all oily like a lot of places tend to make it, and the filling tasted fresh and flavorful (went great with the cilantro jalapeño sauce, I would buy it in a bottle if they sold it ). Our toddler approved the kid menu items and banana milk drink he had and he's a hella picky eater. Loved the decor & music and it's such a great meetup location because you don't have to fight for a parking spot, it's clean and chill. Would definitely come here more often if I still lived nearby. read more
