    Their shaved ice is back again ! Been wanting to try it and it's so good. I also like their banana pudding latte too

    Nutella Soufflé pancake
    Kat H.

    The tiramisu soufflé was not as good as I imagined it. The pancakes were fluffy and thick but there was not enough cream around it to give it that tiramisu flavor. The cup of coffee made it worse because it was bitterness on top of the flavorless pancakes. Also the amount of cacao powder made it more bitter and dry. The banana matcha was not good. Service was bad this day. They didn't greet nor look welcoming while taking order.

    Nostimo Cafe & Tea such a cute cafe~ We came for the Japanese soufflés, and it was a toss-up between tiramisu and matcha. In the end, we tried the Strawberry & Tiramisu. The soufflé was light, soft, and sweet but not too sweet, with a strong egg flavor. The strawberries and bananas boosted the sweetness. I couldn't finish the tiramisu, but the strawberries soufflé were excellent. -Plenty of parking inside a busy plaza -Free Wii-fi -bathroom on-site

    Nutellamisu Mouse Souffle and Strawberry Souffle
    Tina H.

    Must try! The soufflé pancakes are unreal. I got strawberry and I ordered the Nutella. Delicious. You can definitely share one with two people. It comes with ice cream!!! The sesame coffee was unreal. We also had the popcorn chicken. Delish. Come here for some comfort food.

    Tiramisu Souffle
    Meleia O.

    We got the lychee pudding tea and tiramisu soufflé. The wait for the tea was about 5 min, and the soufflé was ~20-25 min. The place has a lot of seats available and lots of nice natural light coming in (no wait in line when we arrived). The soufflé was nice and bouncy, the flavors of tiramisu were consistent but the pancake itself was kind of underwhelming. My husband liked the tea but I thought it was a bit too tarte. The price is fair if you're ordering for yourself or to share! I enjoyed the side of chocolate ice cream and banana with the soufflé! It complements the dish well.

    So so so GOOD! Yummy! I'm not even a dessert person but I treated my kids to this yummy Japanese pancake place. It sure was a HIT! Shoutout to Bonnie S. who I texted to ask for Japanese pancake recommendations. She's my go to Foodie Encyclopedia. Follow her for more foodie info. You can't go wrong with Nostimo Cafe. Everything was delicious! Even for a non dessert fan like me. 10/10 Recommend

    Mochi Avo Coco (on the right)
    Arthur E.

    Went for an after dinner dessert / drink. Was hoping for more non-caffeinated options but looked like it was primarily smoothies. Ended up with the avo-coco which I was hoping had more balance of coconut with the avocado. It was definitely more avocado forward though. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The pancakes looked good but didn't get to try them.

    Pistachio Matcha Latte and Matcha Einspanner
    Tho N.

    The matcha itself is okay, milky and not very sweet. The pistachio matcha has no pistachio taste, it's just the cream on top that has some nuts crushed on top. We also got the cheesy tteokbokki, which were very tasteless but has a nice texture. The service was good, very polite. Soufflés had a wait time of an hour and thirty minutes, which we passed on.

    Tucked away in the corner of a busy shopping plaza is a coffee shop by the name of Nostimo Cafe & Tea. While parking may be of challenge, you'll quickly realized the quality of coffee and types offered is worth the effort to make your way here. Great place to catch up with friends and family over delicious sips. Not so sure about the study part since it can get a bit noisy. My usual go to here is the Nostimo Cafe Muoi Me (Black Sesame Coffee). It just hits all of my cylinders just right in terms of texture and flavors. They also have a unique flavor called Ube Coconut Latte Coffee if Ube is your current trend. Matcha and fruit smoothies are also available if you are in that lane. Soufflé Pancakes are great to share with people if you have a little gathering going. Looking forward to stopping in and trying their other beverages and bites, and as should you. It's good.

    This is such a cute little café known for its viral Japanese fluffy soufflés and jiggly bunny pudding desserts. I stopped by on a whim during my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised by how quick the service was--I only waited about 5-10 minutes for my jiggly bunny pudding and matcha latte. It was fast enough that I was able to get back to the office without any stress. I ordered the jiggly bunny pudding because I thought it would be similar to a panna cotta (one of my favorite desserts). While it wasn't quite a panna cotta, it was still good--light, cute, and not overly sweet. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fun dessert that isn't too heavy. As for the matcha latte, I really appreciated the bold matcha flavor. That said, I'm not a big fan of regular milk, and it didn't occur to me at the time to switch to an alternative like almond milk, so the milk flavor stood out more than I would've liked. Overall though, a fun spot for a quick and unique dessert break.

    Strawberry Souffle
    Donisha B.

    So my boyfriend wanted to surprise me with a different café spot so we decided to try this I got a banana Matcha latte. My boyfriend got some type of fruit herbal tea and then we both got soufflé pancakes. I got tiramisu he got I believe it's like a strawberry with light cream, soufflé, pancake. So for my Matcha. I noticed that my cup wasn't filled up all the way or maybe they were like low on ice and didn't give me a lot of ice but my drink wasn't like a complete drink.The flavor was really good. It was just I think my drink was like short and maybe they didn't really measure it too much. The tiramisu soufflé pancake was the flavor was good. The texture wasn't my cup of tea. I think it was a little underdone maybe or that might just be a texture that I've never had before but to each own I feel like it was definitely nice to get out of my comfort zone and try this

    Xmas 2025 menu
    Alice H.

    Awesome service! The guy was very friendly at the counter, full of smiles, and good energy. Cafe is small but big enough to seat a few tables. Bright and neat and modern, nothing special but currently cute Xmas decor. The drinks are very fun and overall good. I do think they are waaaay too sweet for Asian palates, and I was a bit shocked by every drink (I tried 5) that I sipped - all very sweet. Kinda ruins the otherwise amazing taste profiles they had. Wish I had been told I could potentially customize my sweetness (I ordered in person and it didnt come up so idk if it can be changed). On the plus side, ignoring the sweetness, I love an asian cafe with unique flavors. I'm always hunting the next special flavor of coffee I haven't seen yet. Today I was pleasantly surprised to find they had a whole xmas menu of drinks outside of the usual Vietnamese coffee flavors. So we ordered away! The Chestnut drink is really really good btw - just too sweet! Another plus is their shots are FREE!! I asked them to put coffee in each drink I ordered (they all mostly came without coffee in it) and I need SHOTS. He said he could add a free shot to each, no extra charge. Shocked, I said, what about two shots? He said, sure, still free! THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT AMERICA. STOP CHARGING US FOR EVERY DAMN THING INCLUDING SHOTS FOR $3. Now i could put that $3 towards tip instead; I was so pleased. Also, souffle pancakes are made fresh and hot! They're a little too eggy and not dense enough for my liking, because I've had souffle pancakes with a different profile that I prefer before, but still cute enough and palatable enough. Thoughtful packaging for to go souffle pancakes too! Bummer is they dont seem to serve savory pancake options anymore...why?? I wish I could have tried them. They sound fun. 5/5 service and pricing. 4/5 taste of actual items. Located in a large plaza with a large parking lot. Ironically there's like 4 other drink shops in this plaza alone...

    This place has been semi-regular as I come to buy a drink in order to use their restroom sometimes as I do homeless outreach nearby. Thank God their strong and flavorful drinks keep me going late into the evening! Consistently filled with patrons working (with noise canceling earbuds!), hanging out with friends, and kicking back. The service is brisk and polite, but not warm and friendly. But I'm sure by the time I'm there in the evenings around 8pm, this shift is tired! A solid option among the sea of trendy shops.

Basic coconut - sis in law ordered this. I didn't get to try but she really likes this one. She's been here before. One thing to note if u are allergic to dairy: there are a few items with no dairy. They told me the tricolor was no dairy but later on I saw that on the menu that is actually says "has the least dairy" in Vietnamese. It's ok bc I'm not terribly allergic but maybe they shouldn't say that it doesn't contain dairy in case someone is allergic. Also the staff were really nice but could be more informed. Would definitely come back!

    Hands down, the service at this location was outstanding!…read more I signed up through the app and was supposed to receive a free cake, but for some reason I couldn't redeem it when ordering online. The male staff member assisted immediately, unlike some other locations that simply say the cake is out of stock. He went the extra mile by contacting customer service and resolving the issue right away. In the end, we placed our order in person at the counter and were able to receive the free cake. One of the items we ordered was the Trio Bean Combination, which was delicious. Sweetness level and ice quantity can also be customized, which is always a plus.

Take that as you will. If you wanna give your money to a business who deliberately goes out of their way to make sure there is less product than you can realistically purchase. Do what they say and buy in advance online only...aaaaand only in advance never go in person if you care enough to eat this dessert. It's not THAT good to deal with that policy, for me. Respectfully. Does it even matter if you have a great product if your customers can never get ahold of it? Food? Great. Ambience is clean. Stock? Empty. Descriptions at the bottom. Complaint below. I'm never coming back. Waste of my life. I've come 6 times and they are always out of their deserts I literally have only been able to try the palm sugar once and the cassava MAYBE 3x in the last 10x (one year) of coming. I left empty handed the last 5x. Drive 30 min just to have my life wasted. I'm never coming back again. Honestly, at this point I think they do it on purpose. Probably just to create some sort of artificial demand. Either that or the level of incompetency with regard to their operations management is laughable. It's a question as old as time. Hanlon's razor. Well today I choose to apply malice. Good luck to the rest of you! If you get lucky enough or desperate enough to camp outside just to beg like a pauper for some small cake ( that honestly is good but not worth this amount of effort).... The palm sugar is like a brown sugar cake with a mochi texture. Chewy and lightly sweet. The cassava is a dense lightly sweet cake that reminds me of a coconut pound cake muffins better tasting and lighter cousin. The pandan layer is pleasantly chewy with mungbean almost jello mochi.

He was rushing my mom and felt irritated that she was asking questions. There were rau cau that came in singles and rau cau that came in 6. I never knew that the ones that came in six were just display and not for sale. My mom wanted to save the dude from grabbing single ones, so she asked for the tray of 6 Pandan coconut. He gave my mom attitude saying that he only sell the single ones. If she insisted in buying the tray of 6 then it will be extra cost. Lol in that case we rather get in singles..duh! More convenient to eat...crazy! Afterwards, when he noticed that my mom was buying more stuff, he kinda stopped with his attitude. Like yo...chill. One or two items, you're still making money. That how you became you today!!! I gonna give this place another chance. In the future, if he still act such ways..it's goodbye for good. For sure, I will lower the ratings as well.
