I didn't know I stumbled upon their grand opening, but still tried to check it out. This place specializes in Vietnamese coffee. Parking can be a bit difficult since they don't have their own parking spot. Pandan Muối Latte (4/5): The pandan flavor wasn't there where I would like it to be as it was overpowered by the salt. However the drink was pretty good and the saltiness add some nice flavor to it. Matcha Latte (3/5): This definitely tasted like matcha from a place that doesn't specialize it matcha. It was very watery and tasted grassy. I will probably come here again if there's a Shark Game read more

Kasama Cà Phê - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Just stopped by this Sunday afternoon and it was pretty packed, just figured out it was their Grand Opening weekend! Many sitting inside the store and outside there were many stools. Line to order was all the way to the door but moved quick. Drinks also came out fast, like a couple minutes. Pandan Muối Latte: 4.5/5 I enjoyed this drink! The pandan salted cream top was yummy and paired well with the coffee. Sweetness was perfect with the cream top Sơn La Matcha Latte: 3.5/5 First couple sips tasted a little diluted and more of a grassy/earthy matcha. I didn't use a straw so maybe it made a difference but towards the bottom, it was a bit sweeter and balanced out the grassiness taste. I would recommend if getting the matcha latte to drink with a straw. Just okay, had better matcha elsewhere in San Jose. We were lucky enough to be able to find an open parking spot right in front of the store but by looking around, parking is very limited. Would come back to get the pandan coffee again or try other drinks if I'm in the area. read more

I've been waiting years to write this review. I first found Kevin and Eric back in 2019 at their pop up in the Mission District in San Francisco, and I've been a fan ever since. Through the pandemic I was ordering their Vietnamese coffee concentrate batches to make at home, and more recently I've been to their pop up at Vago Super. So getting to walk into their actual cafe during this soft opening in San Jose felt like watching something come full circle. The space itself is exactly what I hoped it would be. It's not sterile like so many new cafes trying to look perfect for photos. It has real character, with little red stackable stools scattered around and a mix of different tables and seating that all feel intentional rather than matched from a catalog. I felt I was in a cafe somewhere in SEA. There are small touches throughout that nod to Southeast Asia without feeling forced, and it makes the whole place feel warm and inviting. The coffee tastes amazing, I got the Pandan Muôì Latte and it tasted like coconut and Pandan without being overly sweet and refreshing. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Their grand opening is this weekend, and if the soft opening is any indication, this is going to be one of the best cafes in San Jose. Easily my favorite spot in the city right now. So happy for Kevin and Eric. --- Let me know if you'd like it shorter, longer, or adjusted for a specific platform. read more

I heard good things about Kasma Ca Phe so I've been wanting to try it out. I tried their signature Pandan Muoi latte. Delicious! The caramel like salted cream is so salty (in a good way) that I almost felt like I'm having a bite of crispy sizzled bacon. This is quickly followed by the mellow sweetness of the cane sugar, creating a classical piece of sweet and salty working together in harmony. My only complaint is that this duo doesn't last too long and fades away half way through the journey. If there were someway to preserve the flavor all the way through the entire journey, it's easily the best latte in SJ (maybe that's not even physically possible though). Ambience is lively, packed, friendly. But, the service is quick for the amount of people ordering. Best, hottest coffee place in the Alameda or even the entire Downtown area right now. read more

Kasama Ca Phe is located in The Alameda neighborhood right around the corner from the SAP Center. It's such a great addition to the area as the cafe serves up delicious local pastries and variety of Vietnamese/Filipino inspired coffee beverages. My partner and I had the opportunity to check this shop out with a friend that lives in the area. We both ordered an Iced Vietnamese Coffee, and it was excellent. The coffee had a bold, robust flavor that was perfectly complemented by the condensed milk, creating an ideal balance. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and try other specialty beverages on the menu! read more

Came here on a Sunday 1 hr before closing and they were packed despite it still being a soft opening! Located near the Whole Foods so parking can be a bit difficult but we found street parking and crossed the street. The ambiance of the cafe itself is super welcoming and had a modern warm clean minimalist design. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly! We ordered: Pan Dan muoi latte w/ oat milk - delicious! Craving it again right now actually! Not too sweet and the ratio of espresso to milk and foam was perfect. In fact when I was done, I went home and scooped out then salted pandan foam! Yum! Davao mocha w/ oat milk - my husband's fave. He loved the cherry notes in the mocha and also was not too sweet! Son La matcha latte w/ pandan cream & oat milk - I've never had matcha from Son La and it was delicious! I'd prefer to get this without the pandan cream so I can really taste the matcha notes. Pate chaud - tastes great! I loved that it was not super greasy. Overall it was a great experience! I am usually one to chug my drinks but these drinks are so well-crafted that it really does encourage you to take in the nuances of each drink and really enjoy that authentic coffee ritual of savoring each sip. They don't allow you to alter sweetness or ice levels but honestly the ratios were perfect as is. This is coming from a girl who always has to ask for less ice & less sugar for all my drinks. The ice melted and my drinks still tasted great! I'll definitely be back! read more

I invited my friend to try Kasama Cà Phê with me on a Monday morning around 10am. My friend got a kick out of the short plastic chairs and tables. He had just come from Vietnam where it was common to see this type of furniture at restaurants, so it was like a nod to his own experience. I saw that they had a small display of pastries, but I did appreciate that their focus was really on the coffee. If I remember correctly, they had 3-4 specialty drinks. My friend got an iced Pandan Muối Latte, and I got an iced Davao Mocha. The Pandan Muối Latte had a salted cream over a balanced pandan espresso drink. I liked that the chocolate in the Davao Mocha wasn't overpowering. Both drinks were very good in their own right, and you really couldn't go wrong. Can't wait to try their cafe sua da. read more

Kasama Cà Phê - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

IDK about you but I'm tired of some of the *new* cafes, coffee shops, and matcha shops in the bay being whacked AF.... where drinks take a backseat to vibes and aesthetics. Kasama Cà Phê? Take my monies! Starting as a pop-up in 2018, Kasama Cà Phê opened their first brick and mortar last month. They're a café that celebrates Viet and Filipino coffee traditions. In-person ordering only. M E N U Limited soft opening menu: * Classics: Drip, latte, americano, cappuccino, etc. * Signature drinks: Pandan Muối Latte, Davao Mocha, Kalamansi Spritz, and Cà Phê Sữa Đá -- Fixed ice and sweetness. No adjustments or add-ons allowed for signature drinks. Decaf to come. No charge for oat milk. D R I N K S * Pandan Muối Latte w/ oat milk ($7.50) An iced latte with housemade pandan syrup, pandan salted cream, and toasted coconut - creamy, beautifully layered, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. Since they use real pandan leaves instead of artificial extract, it's not the usual bright green. Instead, you get pandan's natural, subtly sweet, vanilla-like flavor. Do not use a straw....the velvety salted cream adds a savory touch that balances the espresso and makes every sip taste like liquid crack. * Davao Mocha w/ oat milk ($7) Made with Viet catimor coffee and cocoa from Davao, Philippines, the iced mocha was rich, creamy, and not too sweet. It had deep dark chocolate flavors with subtle dark cherry notes. Well-balanced, smooth, and more elevated than a typical iced mocha. S E R V I C E Friendly and efficient. A M B I A N C E Modern and minimalist with warm wood accents and iconic red plastic stools that give a subtle nod to Vietnam's café culture. There's a mix of standard tables, low tables, a communal table, and handful of stools outside. Restroom and Wi-Fi available. Overall, we loved the drinks we tried at Kasama Cà Phê and appreciate how they thoughtfully showcase SE AZN ingredients and flavors. Good thing it's an hour away from me cuz I would go broque wanting to come here on the regular! read more

This was our first time visiting Kasama Ca Phe after they opened. It's located in the first level of an apartment complex across the street from Whole Foods by the Alameda and is a parking garage right next to the cafe for retail guests. The interior is quite spacious and there were multiple groups of customers studying or working. It wasn't too crowded for a Friday afternoon, so we were able to order and receive our drinks within 10 minutes. The owner / manager took our orders and gave a helpful overview of the drinks on the menu and how they source coffee beans from all over Southeast Asia. He also mentioned that their drinks are all "not too sweet" which is my preferred level of sweetness. We ordered the Kalamansi Summer Spritz and Pandan Muoi Latte, which is their most popular drink. The Kalamansi Summer Spritz was refreshing and crisp without being bitter or astringent as citrus mixed with espresso can sometimes be. The Pandan Muoi Latte was balanced and had the perfect level of salt on the cream top, which brought out the grassy and nutty flavors of the pandan which I found to be unique, as other cafes' pandan drinks tend to lean more coconut in flavor. I could have used a small spoon for the cream, as it did get stuck on top of the ice cubes as I drank it. I appreciate that their menu is intentional and consolidated to drinks that represent both Vietnamese and Filipino culture. This is a great cafe and I'll be back for more. read more

I was excited to try out this new cafe shop! I couldn't decide between pandan muối latte and cà phê sữa đá. The staff told me their drinks are all not too sweet but between the two, the pandan is sweeter. I don't prefer my drinks to be too sweet, but since it was the afternoon I was worried about stronger caffeine in the cà phê sữa đá. *Note: this shop does not allow customization/adjustments on signature drinks What I got: - Pandan Muối Latte (3.5/5): the Pandan is very light - I could smell the pandan from the cream top, but couldn't really taste it in the drink. It's not too sweet and the coffee is not strong. Overall, this drink is mild and cohesive, but doesn't have any flavors that make it stand out. Im glad I got to try this place. It's a nicely designed cafe with some seating suitable for work/study (if you can grab a table). While the Pandan Muối Latte didn't stand out to me, I would be willing to come back to try their Cà Phê Sữa Ðá next time. read more

Kasama Ca Phe is a super nice touch to the cafes situated in San Jose! I stopped by with my husband since we were drawn in by the cultural touch of both our culture (we are both Viet/Filipino). We stopped by when it wasn't as busy during their soft opening so we were able to get served fast and even had enough time to chat with the baristas/owners. They were super friendly and sweet answering our questions about their decor and their coffee process! Inside felt very cozy and minimalistic which was a refreshing touch than what im used to here in SJ. My husband and I tried their Pandan Muoi Latte (a good 8/10) and their Davao Mocha Coffee (5.5/10 for us). We enjoyed their Pandan drink with the nice touch of the salted cream top, def elevated the drink overall and gave us that Pandan taste that wasn't overly artificial. The Davao Mocha was a little too bitter for our liking and wished we could've had a bit more of the mocha be incorporated into the overall drink to balance out the bitterness. Overall - loved the concept but would only come back for the Pandan Muoi Latte! read more

Got the Vietnamese coffee and added pandan salted creme since I like creama on top of my ice coffee these days. They didn't offer plain salted creama. Coffee was nice and strong.

I wouldn't say this is my new go to for Viet coffee or anything. It was not bad! But I wouldn't go out of my way for it. (Parking isn't great). The pandan cream top is pretty yummy though! Pandan Muoi Latte was STRONGGGG and the pandan cream top itself is so rich/decadent. It's creamy and fragrant without distracting from that punchy viet coffee. If you love a strong latte, this is pretty darn good! Menu is limited for soft opening, but it does seem pretty expensice. read more

Finally tried this place and Loved their coffee! Tried their peach pastry and mochi butter too (not in the picture haha) Definitely recommend their signature coffees, it was not too sweet and well balanced! Peach pastry was really good but mochi butter was not really my favorite. So many people were there on Saturday, enjoying their coffee. I don't know if it was music or a limited space, I couldn't really have a conversation with friends so we sit outside. Parking is limited so maybe use parking space for Whole Foods parking lot and cross the street. Be careful when crossing cause people often drive really fast on that road. read more

Came around 11am since I saw they had soft opening and been excited to try it out. The line was long but moved pretty quickly. At most 5 minutes in line before reaching the register and ordering. Once we ordered it was about maybe 5-7 minutes before our drinks came out. We ordered the Kalamansi Summer Spritz and the Cà Phê Sua Đá w/ the Pandan Muối Cream. Kalamansi Summer Spritz was really good. Flavor profile was perfect. Not too sweet or strong. Big fan of the drink. Im terms of the Cà Phê Sua Đá w/ the Pandan Muối Cream. We found out that the drink we were given was the Davao Mocha not the Cà Phê Sua Đá w/ the Pandan Muối Cream. Understandable mistake since they were busy! But the Davao Mocha w/ Pandan Muối Cream was still good overall. The spot is decently sized they have indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the aesthetic of the inside. Very modern but also had a bunch of pictures from Vietnam and the Philippines. Loved it! Overall, would give it a 4.5/5 if I could, definitely worth visiting and will be in coffee spot rotation. read more

We were so excited to try this out that I completely forgot to take a photo! Our order included: Pandan Muoi Iced Latte Son La Matcha Iced Latte Davao Iced Mocha The taste of all three is like no other. The Pandan cream is even super tasty. Slightly salty and a bit nutty. I had the Pandan latte. Small but freaking mighty! It has subtle taste of pandan but you can taste every ingredient they put in it. Sprinkle of matcha on top of the cream. YUM! Lines were long but it went by really quick. Honestly love the red plastic chairs and squat chairs as outdoor seating. Now we need street food hehe Can't wait to see what else they come up with after soft opening! Owner is super sweet and Kasama is now in our top 3! read more

Came through because it's a Filipino/Vietnamese fusion coffee shop. Still was a soft opening so they are working out "the kinks". Line was out the door and maybe 5 people deep beyond that. We came in around 2pm on a Saturday. Took about 23 minutes from start of line to getting out drinks. Ordered the "Pandan Muoi latte" and "kalamansi summer spritz". Pandan Muoi latte definitely was more cream forward with nice notes of coconut/Pandan sweetener, the presentation is very nice with a sprinkle of Pandan over the top, Kalamansi summer spritz, was the highlight of our trip. It was different. Kalamansi (think of a tangerine and a lime had a baby) limeade, so sugar and sweet plus espresso. This shouldn't work but it does. I kept drinking it and kept saying that. It was very refreshing with a nice caffeine kick. Both drinks were great and I would order again if the wife and I make the trio back down to SJ. Staff was friendly and the place was clean/modern. read more

Went with my mini me to check this place out. Parking can be challenging. There is a garage connected to the cafe but you have to pay to park. And there's only about 20 stalls. Street parking is a hit or miss. If all else fails, park at Whole Foods across the street. It was busy when we arrived but they are quick. All the seating was taken but if you want to hang out, there are small stools available, outside and inside. The decor is a nice and the lighting is mellow. A pleasant atmosphere. The iced pandan latte was delicious. It had a nutty taste to it also. This is the best pandan latte I've had. It even beats the one I had in the Philippines. Make a visit and see for yourself! I'll be back. read more

As many in the bay, I've been seeing videos of this place all over online! Hearing that a Filipino + Vietnamese spot opened up in my area, I had to make a trip to stop by and support. I grabbed a matcha son la, pate choud, and calamansi butter mochi. The matcha was good, with oatmilk for no extra charge! They didn't ask and I should have mentioned, but it wasn't sweetened. As someone who needs a bit of sugar in their drinks, I know it would've hit 10x more a bit sweeter. The pate choud was great! Very flavorful and Venice and flaky on the outside. The calamansi mochi bitter however, was a bit disappointing. The flavor was good, but the texture was too sticky and not enough structure. Overall, the items were good enough for me to return, especially if I'm in the area. I'm definitely interested in coming back once the lines die down a bit. read more

LOVEEEEEE this place! I was super excited to see it was finally soft opening and had to come try. I've come a few times and always get the pandan muoi latte. Flavor is rich and not too sweet, and they use nugget ice which doesn't water down your drink when it melts (details details!!). The pandan cream top is delicious. My mom isn't a big coffee drinker, and she even liked it and asked when I'll be going back to bring one for her next time (bonus points lol). I've also gotten the kalamansi butter mochi and pate chaud and both are great! The cafe has great decor and ambiance. The vibes are good, a lot of people study/work here.

First time coming here today! Decided to stop by after hot yoga cus I never heard of a Filipino Vietnamese fusion coffee place before parking is available across the lot at Whole Foods which was nice and I was able to find the place quickly. I walked in and the ambiance is very cute and decorated well, perfect for hanging out with friends. I asked the barista what he recommended,and since it was my first time he said the pandan muoi latte would be the most popular. He was super nice! The drink came out very quickly so I appreciated that. The drink itself wasn't as sweet as I thought, which was great and it had a perfect balance of coffee and flavor that I wasn't expecting. It was definitely unique but in a great way. I would definitely come back to try the Vietnamese coffee and some of their yummy treats! read more

A MUST STOP if you're in San Jose!! I've been fans of Kasama Cà Phê since their pop up days, so it was really exciting to finally see their beautiful shop in San Jose! As soon as I heard there was a Filipino + Vietnamese coffee spot, I knew I had to stop by! The drinks were great and I loved that the sweetness was subtle without overpowering the coffee, and the coffee itself had the perfect strength. Service was A+. Erik and Kevin are clearly passionate about what they do and really committed to their craft. The interior is beautiful and has such a relaxed vibe. Definitely a great spot to catch up with friends, hang out, or get some work done. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you love coffee and want to support a local spot with a unique Filipino + Vietnamese influence! read more

Visited Kasama Cà Phê during their soft opening and it was a lovely experience! There was a line upon arrival, but it went by pretty quickly. The workers were so friendly and welcoming, and even offered recommendations from their menu. There's actually a pretty good amount of seating for people to wait or do some work. Our drinks came out in a few minutes. My boyfriend and I ordered the Davao Mocha and the Pandan Muối Latte. The Davao Mocha wasn't too sweet and reminded me of Milo and Ovaltine. We were both really impressed with the Pandan Muối Latte! All the notes in it complimented each other so well, with a delicious pandan salted cream, and was also not too sweet. I love the simplicity of the interior, it showcased Asian cultures while giving earthy, home-y, and relaxing vibes. I also appreciate that they source from Vietnam, the Philippines, and more. We'll definitely be coming back again, can't wait to see the full menu next time! 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

I've passed by this place last month and I can see the long line out the door during their soft opening day. So I came by on a Sunday morning greeted very warmly with so few customers. Kasamera Cà Phê is another addition in the South Bay specialty brewing Filipino- Vietnamese coffee with a distinguished aroma for the ones with discriminating taste. Located in an area comprised of commercial buildings right across from Whole Foods Market. No cash required simply placed your order via self-service kiosk which seems to be the norm. I got the Davao Mocha a unique Filipino coffee deeply rich flavor unsweetened yet refreshing. Menu selection is very limited with so few items to choose from other than a pate chaude and butter mochi and not much else. Hours are shorter from 8 to 4 seven days a week no after hour drinks. read more

This place makes my half Filipino heart full. I love fusion of Filipino Vietnamese coffee. A place I can resonate with flavors that remind me of my culture and up bringing and the best compliment I can give as Asian American is its " not too sweet " the perfect balance of strong coffee flavor and subtle notes of sweetness that's not too overpowering. I tired a few different drinks here and pastries and you really can't go wrong with anything. My favorite so far is the pandan latte. I love foam top with robust coffee flavor mixed with evenly blend of milk with nice hit of pandan flavoring. Today I tried calamansi spritz. What is Calamansi? Calamansi is small tart like citrusy fruit. It's basically like a small lime/lemon. It's often used in cooking like when my mom would make bistek or drinks like calamansi juice. Kalamansi Summer Spritz This was so unique! I never had drink like this! The best way I can describe it is like Italian Soda with calamansi flavoring and shot of expresso. I never knew these two things go together. The tart like citrusy flavor with shot of expresso was nice surprise. It reminded me of one of those chocolate orange candies with a hit of coffee. Overall, I am really enjoying the close proximity of this place to my workout class. The atmosphere is so serene and zen. I'll definitely be back more often to try more things. Come check out Kasama! read more

Nice new coffee shop! It's in a good location just across the street from Whole Foods next to SAP center. The vibes are vibing inside, it gives a moody and calm atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside with normal sized tables and the typical plastic stools you see in a lot of Vietnamese households. I got the pandan salt latte and it was perfect. The coffee was strong and the cream was not too sweet. The menu is very simple but I wish they had more specialty options. Definitely try their pate choux pastry! It's a typical Vietnamese snack but their version is nice and flakey and filled with meat mixture. I found it really yummy and paired perfectly with the coffee. Definitely will be back. read more

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

After seeing several Tik Toks, I was fully convinced I needed to try out Kasama Cà Phê! Parking is super crazy because there is a Whole Foods across the street. There are a few parallel parking spots, a smaller section of parking in front of the Whole Foods, down the street there's a parking garage, but for the most part just plan for a chaotic parking experience. The menu is perfect and quaint. All of the snack items were sold out when my partner and I went around 3pm. The service was helpful and I didn't feel embarrassed that I didn't know how to pronounce anything. Let me just say if you get coffee you will be litty titty (super caffeinated). I would recommend coming here in the morning or on a day you weren't able to sleep well. If you come here with someone have the second person scout out a table. It does get very crowded and loud. The line is super long but goes fast! It takes a bit to get your drink, but it is definitely super yummy! I have an obsession with pandan so of course I had to get the Pandan Muô'i Latte and my mans go the Cà Phê Sũ'a Ðá (aka their Vietnamese coffee) and goddauyyym yum on taste, flavor, smell, appearance. Again you will my extremely caffeinated but this is why I came here so just remember that dis strong af coffee. Also in case you are blind like me and did not see the WiFi password on the menu. It is there but for me as an iPhone user it doesn't not work. My partner also has an iPhone and it didn't work. Also the signal is one to maybe two bars. All in all great experiment to just chat with a friend and relax. The decor is a more modern take of mid- century modern with dark chocolatey accents and dark woods! Highly recommend!

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

Kasama Ca Phe is easily my new favorite café in Downtown San Jose! First, let's talk about the drinks. At this point, I've pretty much tried the entire menu Yes, that's how often I go. And honestly, I don't even have one favorite because everything I've had has been SO good. What I really appreciate is how balanced the flavors and sweetness are. You know the ultimate Asian compliment: "It's not too sweet." Wellps, Kasama literally embodies that! I will say, I keep coming back to the Davao Mocha iced with oat milk because I LOVE a good mocha and they make it perfectly. Oooh I also love the matcha here. THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING BATCH BULK MATCHA. They literally whisk it by order and that's so refreshing during a time when every other cafe is bulk making matcha. Yes, it takes time but good quality takes time and they get it! I hope they never change this. And then there's the space itself. The lighting, furniture, colors, overall aesthetic - you can tell everything was intentional. Also... I know this sounds silly, but the Asian plastic chairs outside?! Chef's kiss. There's something about it that feels so Asian American at its core and I'm here for all of it. But my favorite part of Kasama is easily the owners and staff. Everyone is incredibly warm and friendly, and they've created the kind of neighborhood café that just feels good to keep coming back to. And clearly...I keep coming back. 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
