    Signature Saigon (their house blend coffee was so good---had roasty notes of hazelnut) + Coco-Bo.
    sonia c.

    Came with no expectations, because Vietnamese coffee is not particularly my go-to coffee drink, but wow ! their Signature Saigon (house blend coffee with cloud cream) caught me off guard with how good the coffee was - not bitter, not acidic, and had roasty notes of hazelnut. The subtly-salty cloud cream topping was delicious as well, and complemented the coffee. I selected 25% sweet & less ice, which was perfect. Also got the Coco-Bo (coconut milk avocado smoothie-slushie) - 0% sweet, but not sure how they adjust this ~ it was still sweet, as both the coconut part & avocado part were separately sweet, but still enjoyable & refreshing. One small caveat is that the avocado part is a paste so even though it's most likely house made, to me the texture is a little processed (as opposed to chunky blended avocado). I am dreaming about when I can return to get their Signature Saigon again & try their other coffee drinks.

    This is my second time getting Lacaphe. First time was in-store and it was solid, good flavor, full portions. With how much a drink costs, I would think that I'm getting a full cup. DoorDashed an order for my coworkers and I. Their drinks were full, but mine wasn't. Safety tape was still on. I got the Coconut. Flavor is good, but the portion is not. Suppose to also come with grass jelly. I thought, maybe they forgot the jelly. Nope. I dug around for it and they didn't forget, it was just an extremely small amount. Less ice meant remove ice and leave cup empty I guess. How much does another 4oz of coffee and milk cost? Cents. Alternative would've been to fill the space with more grass jelly. Also cheap to do. What. A. Disappointment. If you're thinking about trying this place out, purchase in-store for when they're being stingy, you can get it fixed.

    It's been a while since we have been here so it was good to come back and try it. We noticed since the last time we came, they opened the seating area. To me, the seating area is nice and cozy with its dark walnut wood and green furniture. The soft lighting with the bulbs was much appreciated as well. The place was quite clean and you could really tell because the rest of the furniture is white/off white. Additionally, as soon as you come in, there's a nice smell of freshly brewed tea. I think this might be an okay place to get some studying/work done with multiple outlets if can get past what follows. My wife thought the decor was a bit too sterile. The music inside was also quite loud. No access to a bathroom as it says employees only. As for the service, non-existent other than making your drink and calling it out. You order on the iPad and there is no greeting or interaction. Some may like that, some won't. I was disappointed to see our drinks come in these plastic lined paper cups as it's very satisfying to see the layers of the coffee or tea and foam. We also both asked for less ice but I think that's just ignored. I understand that it means "less" volume of drink but I'm fine with a more empty cup rather than more ice. Overall, I think that's Lacaphe's drinks are fine but not top tier. The coffee is espresso shots but I think was a bit sour/ under extracted for me. The cream is good but not as thick as I think it could be. Overall, 4* for the decent Vietnamese coffee and the moderately cozy, but very clean place.

    Came here after eating lunch on a Sunday. The have the self service kiosk. We waited about 15 minutes for the drinks. I chose the ice blended avocado and coconut and it was so delicious! Highly recommend!

    Vietnamese coffee is bomb! Rich, strong, and exactly what I needed. I did have a small mix-up with my order (I asked for hot coffee but got iced), but the customer service was great--she fixed it right away with no hesitation and made it super easy. The ambiance is really nice too--I love the cream and white color combo. It feels clean, modern, and inviting. There's plenty of seating, and it was pretty busy when I went, which is always a good sign. They also offer both in-person ordering and a stand-alone ordering screen, which makes things super convenient. Definitely appreciate how quickly they made it right. I'll be back!

    SIGNATURE SAIGON* MATCHA LATTE

    Signature Saigon: kind of roasted chocolatey flavor even though I don't think it has chocolate or anything. I enjoy 8/10 Matcha Latte: Tastes premium, but nothing special. 8/10 Banana matcha: not a lot of banana but still good 7.5/10

    Great, strong Vietnamese coffee. Beautiful interior perfect for working/studying. Can't wait to be back to try their other drinks.

    My favorite cafe in Bay Area - Lacaphe served delicious Viet style coffee as well as matcha drinks and recently, they amazed me with their avocado drinks (honestly, all of their drinks serveeeee for sure) They have free wifi, password caphesuada, so very suitable if you want a place to work or study (but I would not recommend because they're packed all the time)

    Tried the Signature Saigon and Eggspresso Hanoi this morning and both are solid options. Personally I liked the Signature Saigon more. Bold coffee flavor, but not too strong. Drinks are the perfect level of sweetness; not overly sweet but just enough to complement the coffee.

    I'd had Lacàphê on my list of places to visit for genuinely 2yrs so when was finally in this part of SJ this weekend, I had to make a stop. * Location: In a tiny plaza off the very busy Story Rd strip going into little Saigon. The plaza lot is small & very packed, be prepared to wait for parking in small spots. * Ambiance: Cafe has seating options, no public restrooms, wifi for guests. Most seemed to order their drinks to-go. * Service: No cashiers, order at a single ipad-style kiosk, or on your phone by scanning a QR code. Waited about 10-12min for 2 drinks on a late Saturday morning. Staff wasn't especially warm or interested in the customers. *Drinks: Tried the Ube Coffee (25% sweetness) and Eggspresso Hanoi (50% sweetness) with easy ice, about $16 total. * Servings: Both drinks were served in white sleeved cups (no longer clear plastic to see neat layers), both filled over half-way with ice (this is 'easy ice'?), and both were sweeter than we expected. * Taste: The thick ube foam was especially flavorful, sweet, or tasty, neither was the egg cream (vaguely vanilla, not nice sitting on top of the coffee, nor mixed in). * Experience: We didn't enjoy the drinks enough to take more than a few sips & put them in the fridge. We tried again the next morning knowing they wouldn't be as fresh but tried to give it another go. I was surprised neither cream top had melted & how much both 'creams' looked like whipped artificially stable food products in an off-putting way. We each tried another sip but didn't like them at all & tossed them. TLDR: I love Vietnamese coffee but these drinks weren't drinkable and experience the as not pleasant. Would not revisit nor recommend.

    Signature Saigon and KUMQUAT CHIA
    Kathryn V.

    Great roomy Vietnamese Cafe. It was interesting to find that they offer Green Thai tea which is a treat from the typical Orange Thai tea people order. The place is huge and if you want to bring family or group of friends it can support it. I see some people study here too. Lots of plug for charging or wanting to plug your laptop. Ordering is iPad menu you can tap with apple wallet or credit card. There is online order you can try if you are in a rush. Parking could be an issue if it gets busy in the shopping area. Staff seems organize and there has a speaker when announcing orders seems pretty organized and clean. Ordered the Signature Saigon and Kumquat Chia. The Saigon is pretty strong coffee which what you expect from Vietnamese Cafe. Will drink the Kumquat later but the drink looks promising.

    Egg Coffee
    Shirley W.

    We came by during a weekday lunch time so it wasn't too busy. The space is really pretty and clean! Plenty of space to chat, work, etc. The decor here was really nice and comforting. We ordered the egg coffee and avocado milk tea to try. The egg coffee was pretty good! The egg cream top was actually really nice, a little bit more on the lighter side, but this was pretty delicious with the vietnamese coffee. The avocado milk tea, well it tasted more like a milk tea. You don't really taste the avocado in it. This drink was disappointing so its safe to stick with the coffee drinks here. Otherwise, service was nice and friendly here. Drinks were made quickly. Great space!

    This was my first trying this place after their rebranding. They didn't have dairy-alternatives last time, so it was not good for someone like me. This place serves Vietnamese coffee specialty drinks, along with other drinks. Pistachio matcha (4/5): The pistachio was very subtle and the match was normal. Nothing too special. Will probably come try their other drinks.

    LOL how many times did they have to tell the viet people to keep feet off the tables

    How do you use the reward system to claim a free drink?

    There's a tablet when you order to sign up via square. Each drink is one point and free item after 10

    Are all egg and cloud creams made with whole milk? Can they be made nondairy?

    I think they are all premade so I don't think it's possible

    Do they serve any bags of coffee as well here?

    Nope. Only prepared beverages

    Does Lacaphe offer non-caffeinated options?

    The menu has a small triangle for non caffeinated options (theres one item). You may be able to ask if they can do non caffeinated substitutes but I think everything is premade so might not be available

    I got introduced to Moc Delights by a friend, and I'm honestly so glad I did…read more We tried the Bánh Tráng Trộn Tả Là (Combo Mix) and it was such a fun snack to eat. It comes packed with rice paper, basil, beef, chicken jerky, pork rinds, boiled egg, mango, and sautéed shrimp. You get a little bit of everything in each bite. Presentation wise, it looks super good right when you open the container. Before eating, you definitely want to mix it really well so all the flavors come together. They also give you a glove, which makes it way easier (and less messy) to toss everything properly. Flavor wise, it's a nice balance of savory, tangy, and a little sweet from the mango. The textures are also really satisfying: chewy, crunchy, and soft all at once. Service was quick and efficient. The wait for the food was only a few minutes, which made it perfect for a quick snack shop. The staff were also friendly, and everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for something different and snacky to share with friends. I'd come back again to try more!

    Found my favorite childhood snack, mixed rice paper at Moc Delights--a fancier version of what I…read moreused to have in Vietnam. I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

    I really liked: Hazelnut Brownie Ice Cream…read more Dumont is a cute little spot in San Jose for a sweet treat. I tried the hazelnut brownie ice cream, and it was very chocolatey with good chunks of brownie throughout. The blend of hazelnut, chocolate, and brownie worked really well together, making it a rich and satisfying scoop. The service was great. The staff was very patient with samples, which made it easy to take my time and pick the right flavor without feeling rushed. The inside of the cafe is cute and well lit, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Overall, a solid stop for good ice cream in a cozy setting. #goodeats

    Hidden ice cream spot in the strip of San Pedro!…read more I came to Dumont with my partner on a Monday evening, and luckily, it was not busy! It is in a hidden pocket between Dr.Funk and Gyu-Kaku, so keep an eye out. Inside was pretty spacious with a good amount of seating for you to mingle with friends and family. Something cool and unique was that they had samples of their milk tea when you walk in (through dispensers). I was interested in trying their ice cream and saw they had some unique flavors like golden star, kheer, and more. While I tried them and thought they were good but sweet, I opted for the mint chocolate and my partner got their chocolate orange. In my personal opinion, I think their mint chocolate ice cream was a bit grainy for my liking, and I wish it was smoother. It was a mild mint flavor with neon green coloring. My partner's ice cream was interesting. I thought it would be a mixed chocolate-orange flavor (which is unique), but it ended up being half chocolate and half orange. I wouldn't necessarily say this place is somewhere I would be an extreme advocate for you to go to but if you have some kiddos who want a sweet treat, this would definitely satisfy their sweet tooth.
