Tucked away in an unassuming strip, Kasama Ca Phe serves Vietnamese coffee drinks in a familiar and welcoming setting. I came here on a Tuesday morning around 9 AM to get my coffee fix, and a line was already forming! Kasama is located across the street from downtown Whole Foods, right next to CycleBar. In terms of parking, there is street parking available, but they also have a lot dedicated to the businesses in the plaza. This space feels very work-from-home friendly, with around 4-5 tables for studying or working, one giant communal table in the middle, and Vietnamese-style seating on the right side, featuring tables paired with red stools similar to the ones you would see on the streets of Vietnam. By the way, I'm not sure if they have Wi-Fi, so if someone knows, please let me know! At the moment, it looks like they only offer three signature drinks in addition to your typical café selections. I do want to note that they are still in their soft-opening phase, so the menu may expand later on. As for food, I only saw pâté chaud being offered (I would describe it as a Vietnamese empanada filled with either pork or chicken, along with wood ear mushrooms and usually jicama). I decided to order the Pandan Muối Latte (salted pandan) for my friend and an iced Americano with an add-on of pandan cane syrup for myself. They currently offer a choice of whole milk or oat milk for their lattes. I tried the pandan latte, and it was nicely balanced between sweet and salty. The pandan flavor was subtle, while the coffee was smooth and not bitter. As for my Americano, it was bold without being abrasive, and I was happy with the addition of the pandan syrup for a touch of sweetness. Overall, this is a cool new spot in DTSJ (not near San Pedro, by the way). Even though there are a lot of places in San Jose where you can get cà phê sữa đá, it's not as common in this area, so this is an awesome addition to the neighborhood. read more

This is a new authentic Filipino-Vietnamese coffee shop in San Jose. They are in soft opening as of June 2026. I'm glad Kasama Cà Phê found their location here. I tried Pandan Muối and their Paté chaud, which is made by a local baker and delivered here. The drink was perfect to me. The coffee flavor could be stronger, but I'm a caffeine fiend and don't have normal tastebuds, so don't listen to me. Pandan and coconut are some of my favorite flavor combinations, so they really do it right here and know the culture of course. I'm Filipino and as Southeast Asians, we don't always get our limelight. It can be quite the opposite (if you know, you know), so it makes me happy to see a business like this open up. I'll be an avid supporter. Kasama Cà Phê Feels like the best new third culture space in town. I cannot wait to see how their menu expands. read more

My new favorite coffee shop! I've been a fan of Kasama Ca Phe since their pop-up days and was excited to hear that they opened up their first retail shop and they don't disappoint! The space is beautiful with a modern yet elegant aesthetic, with palettes of their Vietnamese and Filipino heritage as tasteful decor, all while capturing the Kasama brand perfectly. The floating lights are sick and a vibe Kasama's drinks are delicious and refreshingly unique that will keep me coming back to try them all. I got the Pandan Muối Latte with the cream foam and it was a game changer. I'm definitely coming back to try their other speciality drinks! Kasama's staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about their craft. I love everything about Kasama Ca Phe and my new go-to coffee shop in the south Bay! S-Tier - 5/5 read more

Kasama Ca Phe is a beautiful cafe located downtown SJ near Whole Foods on Stockton Ave. Once you step inside, you are welcomed with a modern interior that harmoniously blends the Vietnamese aesthetic with a clean minimalistic vibe. The interior features a long wooden community table, stainless steel diner tables, along with the iconic plastic stools. Somehow its just all works together. The small beautiful details like the barista snoopy, creative flower arrangements, and vibey ceiling light makes this place look like my Pinterest cream cafe. We came during soft opening so the menu was only printed at the cashier, with 3 drinks offered as of currently: mocha, pandan muoi, and ca phe sua da. They also offer some goodies from a local bakery called Milk Belly Bakery. * Pandan muoi- Creamy, strong coffee with a not-too-sweet finish. The pandan essence is strong but not overwhelmingly so. The saltiness compliments the pandan flavor so well. This drink was enjoyable and truly unique. * Calamansi butter mochi- This was so unique as you rarely can find calamansi flavored baked goods anywhere. The calamansi taste was strong, very fruity and the mochi texture was sticky and chewy. What a unique and tasty treat to enjoy alongside your coffee. Kasama Ca Phe offers some solid drink options even for their soft opening so I'm excited to see the potential this place has to offer in the future. I really enjoy how creative their selection is and it really stands out compared to other Vietnamese coffeeshops that always offer just the standard coconut, ube and salt coffees. I would love to come back and try more coffee. read more

Kasama is currently in their soft opening! this opened up across from Whole Foods and we were excited to try it. we came on a sunday morning around 10am and there was a short line. but as we left, the line was already out the door. I really enjoyed the Pandan Muối Latte. the cream foam was sooo good!! even though this is a viet+filipino coffee shop, I'd say their coffee isn't as bitter as the typical viet coffee. so if viet coffee is too much for you, this is kinda the perfect balance. it is still strong tho! the workers here are very friendly and offered to help if we had any questions. as for parking, there's only street parking or the Whole Foods parking across the street. I'm excited to see what else they'll be adding to the menu. read more

We've been customers since their pop-up days, so it's exciting to see them finally open their own shop! They offer unique coffee flavors sourced from Vietnam and the Philippines, making it a refreshing change from the usual coffee menu options. My go-to order is the Pandan Muối Latte; love how creamy and flavorful it is without being overly sweet. The Cà Phê Sṹa Ðá is another recommended choice, especially if you enjoy Vietnamese iced coffee. The shop also has tables available if you'd like to sit and enjoy your drink there. They may add some small food or snack options in the future. We'll definitely continue supporting them and are excited to watch them grow. Highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try! read more

Stopped to check out Kasama Ca Phe during the soft opening and I'm excited for the future of this spot. The interior was nice and spacious with plenty of seating and the employees were super nice and welcoming. We ordered the Davao mocha and pandan latte. Both were really good and lean towards the Asian philosophy of "not too sweet". I'd come back to try any new lattes that get added to the menu. read more

I'm not much of a coffee person but i'm always open to supporting small businesses. I actually really enjoyed what they had to offer during this soft opening and am excited to come back when they have their full menu up! The cashier gave great recommendation and was very friendly. The i side is also nicely decorated with a natural minimalist feel with nice art on the walls. Good place to meet up with friends. Parking is a bit hard, but if there's a will there's a way! read more

I'm so glad this pop up now has a brick and mortar! I had Kasama Cà Phê a long time ago when it was a pop up at Milk Belly Bakery in downtown San Jose a long time ago and had the best pandan latte I've ever had. Whenever I tried to return to Milk Belly, the coffee was no longer being served. This location is across from the Whole Foods on Alameda. I came on a Sunday at around noon and they were already sold out of all the pastries they had from Milk Belly bakery. The latte was as good as I remember! I'll definitely be returning. read more

Went for their soft opening and for someone who loves viet coffee and flavors like pandan, I was so excited to come here and try their coffees. I got their iced oat latte (they have oat and whole), with their housemade pandan syrup. Solid latte, can't wait to see what other items they come out with. I usually find it difficult to get a pandan latte but this place does an authentic version! read more

To say that I've anticipated Kasama finally opening up a brick and mortar is an understatement. From my first sip a couple of years ago to where they are today, everything about them is top notch. First off, just get the Pandan Muối and don't think twice about it. I'm a sucker for anything Pandan and they just do it right. I've had plenty of Vietnamese coffee (spoiler alert: I'm Viet lol) and I have to say that Kasama's Ca Phe Sua Da is super balanced and doesn't give me heart palpitations which is a huge bonus. Now to the space: cleanest coffee shop vibes in the Bay. Wide open and it leads you right to the beautiful bar area where everything is intentional and you can feel it. The staff were extremely personable which made me feel at home. They were also very knowledgeable about their coffee and origin which was a fantastic touch. Excellent job leadership team! Overall, this is now my go-to spot for all my Asian caffeine needs and I can't wait to see what they have brewing read more

So happy to see a coffee shop that represents Philippine flavors. We went on their soft opening and love how the place feels so zen. So excited to see them flourish! We got to try their pandan latte & americano and it was really good! The pandan flavor was not too overpowering but you can taste it. We met Erik, one of the co-owners and he was really nice! He is asking for feedback and sharing the coffee shop's vision which is good. Can't wait to be back! read more

Visited Kasama Cà Phê during their soft opening and it was amazing. Their southeast Asian inspired coffee is strong but not too sweet and their flavors are creative. Their pandan latte was delicious.

Best Vietnamese coffee in the Bay! I visit my family in Vietnam at least once a year and love how they've represented the coffee culture so well. It's exciting to see them bring Southeast Asian coffee to SF! What I love about Kasama: 1. They use high-quality beans that are actually grown in Da Lat, Vietnam! 2. Their vegan Vietnamese coffee option is delicious. 3. They provide compostable cups and lids - they're exploring straw options too. 4. They compost their leftover coffee grounds. 5. Each cup is made with the traditional phin (cute steel filter). A slower drip, but the secret to a nice, strong cup of cà phê sa đá! Hope to see them expand and offer more menu items in the future. I would highly recommend checking them out! read more

Neat concept. I always liked Vietnamese coffee but they are usually served at pho restaurants as a "side thing". But since they don't specialize in coffee, the quality is usually hit or miss. Really glad to see this team taking cà phê sa đá seriously and creating a specialized pop-up! The coffee was really tasty. Wish they could figure out a way to let customers adjust the sweetness level though. The caffeine level is "expert". I can usually drink 3-4 normal coffees throughout the day and be fine. But I got really wired after having just one of their coffee. So be careful! read more

As someone who doesn't drink coffee very often, I found myself wanting more of their ca phe dua da after attending their previous pop-ups. The flavor of their Vietnamese coffee is superb and is the perfect amount of sweet and bitter to really wake me up in the mornings. What I loved about this place most of all is how well informed Erik and Kevin were. I had a chance to talk to them while it wasn't busy to learn about the history behind Vietnamese coffee and it was amazing to see how much passion they have for their craft. A very enjoyable experience overall and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

This is a pop-up coffee shop that serves beans harvested from Southeast Asia. I really admire the mission, and the two owners, Erik and Kevin, are super friendly! The coffee is INCREDIBLE. Like hands down some of the best coffee I've had, and that's a big statement considering this is San Francisco. They add condensed milk or coconut condensed milk so it tastes sweetened, but the coffee flavor is still very prominent. And it's not overly sweet which I really liked, it didn't taste like a dessert. Their ube affogato is equally delicious! The coffee adds a complimentary flavor to the ube ice cream. Highly recommend to get this item as well! read more

Went to their October pop-up date in Mac'd. I arrived at about 9:15am, and was lucky I had a friend arrive earlier and place our order. Before walking in, someone stopped me as they were exiting and said that people were being turned away due to selling out. Congrats for selling out in an hour!!! Their team might benefit from social media person on-deck, because many people kept coming in and were really disappointed to be turned away. Pro tip for anyone going to future dates: go early! It's difficult to control the sweetness for ca phe sua da because you're working with condensed milk produced by others... but I will say this was sweeter than the average CPSD I've had. I wasn't able to finish it, but to be honest you're still going to get an intense caffeine high! Room for improvement: either more supplies (phin filters) or another set of hands. I was told my coffee would take 45', but ended up taking over an hour. It's okay - they're still smoothing out the edges. Just be mindful as you attend the pop-up :-) They're going to do very well with however they decide to move forward with their business! A lot of the hip and contemporary coffee scene is hella white. So it's cool to see two Southeast Asians break into the scene, especially given that SEA is one of the world's largest producers of coffee. I admire the mission of the owners. read more

The best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. It's freshly brewed, complex, expertly sweetened and downright addictive. Bonus: drink one and you'll be *extra* caffeinated for the weekend. For any lactose-sensitive folks, Kasama's also got you covered. Their lactose-free Ca Phe Dua Da is my personal favorite on the menu, and definitely rivals their signature drink in deliciousness. Can't wait for Kasama to get a brick and mortar - I can never get enough :) read more

My tastebuds are weak against bitterness, which is why I've always loved Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk galore - and Kasama always leaves me wanting more. Kevin and Erik seriously know their stuff. As a self-professed coffee pleb, I'm not super familiar with the different types of coffee beans, regional varieties, etc., but they were both extremely informed about what ingredients they used, the traditional phin process, and the cultural nuances behind their incredible coffee. If you're wondering how strong it is, one cup was enough to keep me awake for the entire drive from SF to LA at the crack of dawn and then some :) read more

One of the best coffees I've had in the city. Went to their pop-up back in March and loved the Vietnamese iced coffee. Seriously. Perfect blend of bitter, sweet, and a jolt that'll keep you wired for the next few hours. As someone who drinks a minimum of two cups of coffee a day (plus weekends), I'd assumed I'd built up a pretty mean tolerance to caffeine. This drink had me reconsidering that in all the best ways. Don't think I can recommend this place enough. If you're in the city and it happens to be a day when their pop-up is open, I'd HIGHLY recommend checking Kasama out. read more

Delicious!! I attended their last pop-up of the year and had their Ca Phe Sua Da and Ube Affogato. Their ca phe was brewed in a phin filter, so you can tell they're serious about it :). It was strong and just the right sweetness. The affogato was very tasty and delicious. I was jittery for a few hours! I think what amazes me is the effort and passion they put into starting this business. The owners really care about what they're making, where their ingredients are from, and the people they serve. Can't wait to see where they take this and the new drinks they serve in the future. Keep up the awesome work guys! read more

Absolutely incredible coffee. This is truly a gem in SF because this is the closest you'll get to coffee from Southeast Asia. My co-workers and I always stop by for some coffee and we have about it all the time. The coffee is so good here that I'm trying to get my company to offer it at our four offices. Highly recommend. There's nowhere else I'd drink coffee from. read more
