Small business with amazing drinks that is an absolute must try!…read more Their main menu has 3 different Asian-inspired drinks: the Pandan Dream, Orange Sunset, and Corn Cloud. I've had all 3 and love them all, but the Pandan Dream is my favorite. Easily the best pandan latte I've ever had. They currently operate as a pop-up but recently launched a Kickstarter to help open their future brick-and-mortar storefront on Berryessa. I had actually never backed a Kickstarter project before, but I'm proud to say Nha Cafe inspired my very first pledge! If you appreciate passionate local business owners and a handcrafted bevy with unique flavor profiles, definitely track down their next pop-up and consider supporting their Kickstarter campaign. :)

In order of favoritism (but tbh they're all great so can't go wrong) 1 corn cloud 2 pandan dream 3 orange sunset Went to the Sunnyvale popup just to get their drinks but they also host popups often as they don't have a physical storefront atm! Just follow their ig to see where their popups will be! Love love their drinks! The corn cloud needs to be in rotation forever n ever hahaha you could also preorder/order family styles from them to pickup and have drink prep for the week or as long as they last ya lol

The best Molly Tea in the Bay Area. I know they are all Molly Tea, but having tried different…read morelocations, this one has consistently delivered perfect drinks each time. Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

It tasted nice, but definitely had the artificial grape candy flavor, although mild. It is usually pretty packed and busy here and rare to find parking right in front of the store. They have nice ambience and good store, branding and merchandise. I think they could do a little better on their drinks though. It's definitely known more for and there's a hype around the merchandise, the drinks are good quality ingredients, but taste OK and a bit pricey as well.

Even during busy peak hours, the service remains attentive and patient, whether you are dining in or grabbing a quick order to go. Ambiance & Cleanliness (5/5): A cozy, clean, and bright spot to hang out with friends or grab a refreshing treat after a meal.

The tea flavor is always strong and flavorful. I usually go with 50% sweetness and it's just right. It's hard to pick a favorite drink, but I'm going to go with the Cloud Coconut Blue and Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut. However, I always default to trying different drink each visit, especially if they have a new seasonal drink. Order on their app for points and rewards. It's also helpful to determine how busy the location is.

I love Bambu but this location is super inconsistent. My most recent visit, I believe the owner,…read morehelped me and made my drink. Personally am not a fan of her customer service and how she makes the drinks. I got the bambu favorite, my go to, with no grass jelly. The drink itself had no sweetness and all the pandan jelly's were stuck together. I know naturally that may happen but wasn't edible as it's just a big blob vs smaller chunks. Other times, the drink taste fine sweetness level wise but it's just too inconsistent for me. Although this locations close, I'd rather go to the Sunnyvale one.

Along First St with condos on upper floors. Probably convenient for people living nearby but for us…read moreit was a quick stop while running errands down that way. We won't go out of our way but it served our purpose today. I wasn't wowed by their display case. Prices looked high and food looked dry. I wasn't going to order food but then saw what looked like fresh pastries in a container behind the counter so I decided to give it a try. Ordered a butter croissant but ended up getting a spinach and feta croissant. Wasn't worth sending it back so I ate it and it was decent. p Ambiance is okay and has some tables for work or group conversation- chairs looked nice but up close many were dirty with stains. Appreciated the barista's hustle as she was alone and doing her best. $16 for coffee, latte and croissant which seems fairly reasonable

There are a ton of great options here, and a lot of the drinks have really interesting names with stories behind them, many inspired by his own customers. Tony actually took the time to tell us some of those stories, which made the whole experience feel a lot more personal and memorable. The ambiance is really chill too. Everything feels clean and well kept, with Buddhist statues throughout the space, good vibes, and a bunch of cool collectibles you can actually buy, including Labubus and other Pop Mart-style items. It gives the place a lot more personality than your typical coffee or tea shop. He's the type of owner who would take really good care of his customers and make sure people leave happy. You can tell he's genuinely dedicated to what he does, and the fact that Saltea is open late makes it even better. Definitely my number one coffee and tea spot around here. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and an owner who genuinely cares about the people who come in. Hermés

This place is a hidden gem, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

I've tried the following: Mango matcha (10/10) - My absolute favorite! I am a big fan of the mango puree.. I feel like I haven't encountered any other mango matchas with the same flavor profile as this. The puree feels eerily familiar and nostalgic. Just the right sweetness. Matcha is strong. I close my eyes and think about all the good in the world when I drink this beautiful fruity concoction Banana pudding matcha (8/10) - My bf likes this drink! Personally I am not as big of a fan of banana matcha but he loved how there are crunchy breadcrumbs(?) on top of the cream paired with the strong matcha as usual. Feels more like a dessert than a drink lol Raspberry cream matcha (7/10) - This also felt more like a dessert. I was surprised that the only matcha part of it was the cream top (so it's not a matcha latte). Would recommend this if you are into fruity creamy drinks where matcha flavor is not necessarily the main star of the show Service is standard, you don't really interact with the workers as you can order online or via the kiosk without ever having to talk to a single person if you're feeling antisocial. Interior is bright and cutely decorated/minimalist I will be back. Mark my words.

I can see how getting to it during the day/weekend might be an issue with how crazy parking can get. From the outside, it looks quaint and inviting, almost out of place with the vibe of the rest of the street/shops around. Inside was some chairs/tables for patrons to lounge at after getting their drinks. When we got there, a group of people were waiting around for their drinks. We ordered at the kiosk and then went next door for cookies. Our drinks were ready when we got back. I really enjoyed my drink - black sugar boba milk tea - and my bf demolished his, so I guess he liked his as well. I would definitely like to come back, but it's gonna be hard to unless I luck out with close parking.

I came back and hyped my friends up on these pizza pockets they have. I mentioned if they still have it on the menu I'm going to order it. To my surprise, they did. I waited a normal amount of time for something like that -Maybe 10 minutes. It was quiet and not that busy/ evening time. While my friends and I waited, we scanned our surroundings and thought "yo. Why is there so many receipts and why are they brown like that." We checked and saw that there were receipts from march of 2025 on the front counter (currently November 2025). My friend asked them about it, so there's a chance they have since cleaned it, thrown it away. Think they might have more space on the counter if they address it.
