    Sugar cane juice
    George C.

    Fantastic value for fresh, refreshing juices! The sugarcane juice with a hint of citrus is perfectly balanced. While the young coconut juice is very tasty, it is on the sweeter side. I like getting a drink from here when I eat at Bo ne phu yen. Service is fast and prices are reasonable for the size of the drinks. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, grab a drink here if you're eating in the plaza!

    Was in the mood for an avocado smoothie and decided to try this place. Not fond of their hours especially on Thursdays. Doesn't have a sign outdoors. Found it by looking in shops. Anyhow, parking can be a mission even tho located in a plaza. But was able to find one near the location. The place is a bit small. No seating inside. They had variety of snacks and line wasn't too bad. I ordered an avocado smoothie and it wasn't too long of a wait. Was excited when I got my order but my first sip turned to slight disappointment. Was hoping for that avocado goodness but it tasted more of milk and sweetness more than anything. Not sure if I'd come back.

    My go to place for fresh sugarcane drink around San Jose. I always stop by when I around the area. It is inside food court. So far thier sugarcane is the cheapest I find so far and it is very fresh. There is no extra for add on like add kamquat as some other sugarcane shop charge extra. You can see them squeeze the sugarcane on the back. The order is ready pretty quickly. If you like sugarcane and around the area, you can give it a try. In the food court there are other food stall so you can have meal and sugarcane. Other good thing is they accept credit card and no extra fee.

    I don't know many sugarcane juice places around here but I saw this when visiting the food court. I have been obsessed ever since! Their regular sugarcane juice tastes amazing with a slight orange citrusy flavor. The cup portions are great as well. Service is always fast.

    Whenever a couple of my friends and I are around Story or Tully in San Jose, it always feels like getting some sugarcane juice inevitably makes its way into our plans. What to do after lunch? Sugarcane juice. A pick me up after picking up groceries? Sugarcane Juice. Just because we're in San Jose? Sugarcane juice! Although we usually head to another shop in Lion Plaza for sugarcane juice, we decided to check out Nuoc Mia Bach Dang after seeing them while ordering from Bo Ne Phu Yen in the food court. By comparison, the menu here is a bit wider and, honestly, a bit more interesting. In addition to the aforementioned sugarcane juice, they also have a mix of fresh juices, smoothies, and teas with an assortment of toppings you can drop into your drinks. That being said, we obviously knew what we were going to get before we even came here. As the worker handed me my SUGARCANE JUICE, the first thing that struck me was how it looked paler than others I've had. However, in terms of taste, this wasn't too shabby. Although it did feel a little thin (diluted?), it wasn't necessarily the worst thing, as it didn't taste quite as sweet. Plus, I thought the slice of orange added a nice acidity to balance the flavor as well. While they aren't quite as good as my go-to spot in the complex (CD Bakery), Nuoc Mia Back Dang's sugarcane juice is more than sufficient to get the job done, especially if we're going to be eating in the food court again. Plus, I'd be also curious about trying their other drink options as well one day!

    I had high expectations before coming in to try their sugarcane drink since so many people raved about it. I didn't realize that they were located inside a food court until I was looking on the maps. I even noticed that almost every table had one of their drinks on their table. The place reminded me of a mom and pop shop. They have a variety of drinks available, but I decided to try their most popular sugarcane drink. I tasted more of kumquat rather than sugarcane, which was a bit disappointing. I wished I knew sooner, so I could have asked for just sugarcane. I'm curious if they add other ingredients to their other drinks as well.

    I had to order a durian smoothie since durian is my favorite, Very delicious and reshing. The staff is kinda limited in English but I was able to point and order what I wanted. They accept credit card. Didnt notice they are famus for their sugarcane juice. I gotta order it next time im in the food court. A huge variety of drinks and selection,

    Nuoc Mia Bach Dang is located in the Food Court area in Lion Plaza. Small little businesses with a shared dining area. The service is nice, helpful and friendly. It had been decades since I was last here and mostly it was che desserts, and a couple of food stalls. Now, it's mostly food stalls and one drink place. Sugarcane Juice (4/5). Choice of 16oz or 32oz drink. The sugarcane juice came with an orange slice. I am not a expert here but I thought it was refreshing and sweeter than I've had in the past at another place I tried. Tamarind Drink (4/5) - they asked if I wanted to add peanuts to it. It already comes with some beans in the drink. Its a good balance between tart and sweet. The beans were an interesting and enjoyable twist. Support your local business.

    Best place to get sugar cane juice! $20 for a half gallon and $7.50 for this large cup! I drank some before taking a picture because it's so good. They barely put any ice as well!

    Large sugar cane in Jan 2026 ($8.25) had dense color and tastes a more like tangerine than sugar cane.
    Faye T.

    Price keeps increasing and quality decreasing. Prices just increased from last month, used to be $7.50, now it's $8.25 for a large and $6.50 for small up from $5.75. The drink looks darker in color and tastes more like tangerine than sugar cane. Disappointing. At least they still don't charge a bogus fee for credit card or "cash only" like the other places there. Everything is getting more expensive, just wished the quality would too or at least stay the same.

    I really enjoyed that this place had a huge selection of drinks ranging from smoothies, teas, milk, milk teas. I guess they weren't able to make smoothies today so we opted for the Salted Calamansi, Corn Milk, Sugar Cane, and the Jasmine Rose Tea (which came with chia seeds, coconut jelly, other toppings). All were delicious and not too sweet which for Asians is a high compliment. The Salted Calamansi wasn't as salty as other salted lemon drinks that you'd find at Vietnamese establishments, it had thin slices of real calamansi fruit so it'd get stuck in the straw. I didn't mind chewing on the rinds but for others that are sensitive to it, it might give your sip an ever so slight bitter taste. The Corn Milk was interesting and exactly what you'd think it'd taste like. It's as if you boiled corn in milk and cooled it over ice. So it's rich in that sweet corn flavor, and it's refreshing for a hot day like today! The Sugar Cane was probably the most surprising for me, I've literally never had sugar cane that tasted creamy! The texture to me reminded me of drinking soy milk, there was this lingering earthy sweetness that stays in your mouth. I really enjoyed it but my sister only thought it was aite. I recommend trying it, this was the most unique drink for me and it was definitely the most sweet. The Jasmine Rose Tea had all the extra toppings like the chia seeds, crystal boba, coconut jelly, etc. So this was the most fun to drink since chewing keeps me preoccupied. It makes the drink last a lot longer. Total for these four drinks was $26.50 for the small sizes. They offer a large size as well for $1.75 more per cup. All in all enjoyed this place and would definitely come back whenever I'm in the Lion Plaza!

    While waiting for our order from Bo Me Phu Yen, we saw that almost every table had a sugarcane drink! We tracked it down to this spot and saw that a regular size cup was $5.75 and a large size cup was $7.50. We decided to try it out since it seemed so popular. I haven't had sugarcane much before so I'm not exactly sure what's considered good. But I really liked the drink. It wasn't overly sweet and had what seemed like orange added to it to give a citrus kick. The cup was huge and I like that they did not have too much ice in it. Service was quick. I ordered the drink and got it within 5 minutes. They have a ton of other drinks as well.

Enter through the front entrance of the Grand Century Mall, turn left and make your way down the hall to the food court. Among the colorful array of food shops, is a bright green shop that is Nuoc Mia Ninh Kieu where a silvery machine to the left is seen squeezing out sugarcane juice! I shouldn't say that I hate carrots -- that's unbecoming of me -- but I strongly dislike carrots. This is one of the only ways I would enjoy carrots: nuoc mia ca-rot! I rarely order anything else from here but I would encourage you to explore their menu and come back for more! Nuoc mia ca-rot has a wonderful blend of mild earthiness of the carrot and the grassy undertones of sweetness from the sugarcane. It takes the edge off of what would otherwise be a very sweet drink! I would much prefer nuoc mia over boba milk tea (particularly on hot, summer days!). Sugarcane juice is a bit pricey here, but I chalk it up to this is a specialty shop just for nuoc mia which lends a certain nostalgia for Vietnam. There are versions of the drink here that you can't get anywhere else. If you want to experience a taste of Vietnamese culture, Nuoc Mia Ninh Kieu is a great place to start! Try them out!

    RANG Final…read moreThoughts: 4.50/5 Review for Rang. They have weekly matcha pop ups at Rose Tea Lounge. Original location is in Elk Grove, but they are here in San Jose area. Kind of hard to see and find them? given that there aren't really any signs posted outside. I perhaps wouldn't have known about it if my friend didn't tell me about it. Drink: Guava Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This is their matcha with house-made guava puree at the bottom and topped with silky guava foam. Their foam is so nice and creamy. Felt very light and just thick enough. Silky consistency that mixed well with the drink. My friend noted that they make it fairly sweet, so I opted for the 25%. This was still quite sweet for me. Each component is sweet itself, so when you combine it, its mostly just sweet. No tartness to cut any of it. Perhaps the guava has something to do with that. Guava is a sweet fruit in general, so I seemed to expect as much. The matcha itself had a nice color to it. Very vibrant. Light bitterness. Lovely consistency overall. I like each component separately and I like them together when it's fully combined. Strawberry Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This was my friends drink and I also really liked it. Had to try it for my review purposes. Per their Door Dash description, this is their matcha latte with their home-made strawberry puree and topped with velvety strawberry foam. There really wasn't much of a difference with this one and mine besides the fruit. His was slightly more tart than mine, which is something I like. Again, the drink itself leans more on the sweet side, so any sort of tartness would be nice to cut some of that. Matcha color is amazing. Nice and vibrant. Lovely silky consistency. I like the ratio of fruit flavor and matcha. Some places will make it just taste like milk, others have an imbalance of flavors. This one was just right for me. --------- Quality: Ceremonial Matcha and whisked to order We saw them whisk the matcha to order. Not really a display cooking kind of counter, but they do do all of that in the front where the cashiers are. You are able to watch if you so choose. I do like the matcha that they use, so it seems like a high quality one. That or it's because they aren't batching their matcha like other places. I understand that batching doesn't make it lower quality, but something about whisking it fresh is always better. Price: Average Will depend on the drink, but the prices are around $7 to $9. For our drinks, average around $8.25 per drink. Quite a common price range for a cup of matcha. This one was made well, so no complaints here. There was no upcharge for the oatmilk, which is always a plus for us. Service: Whisked matcha fresh No interactions today. We ordered directly on the kiosk and then just waited for our drinks to come out. Something that I like is that they whisk and make the matcha in front of us. Kind of hard to see, given my height and spot that we were standing, but they do whisk it in the front for us. Of note, they use this hand towel or cloth to wipe the bowls. Not sure how sanitation does with that, but I digress. Just an observation for today. Ambiance: Quaint Flower Café Vibes This place is giving very quaint flower café vibes. I would totally work here if I could work from home or if I needed to study. Space is incredibly spacious on the inside contrary to how the outside and plaza area is looking. Little dim lit inside, but that might be from the little lighting that's hitting through the windows given the angle and evening sun. Location/Parking: Small Plaza This place is like a pop-up/collaboration with Rose Tea Lounge. There's really no label for it outside of the storefront, but when you go into the café and on the kiosk, you can directly order from them. Kind of interesting how it works and I probably would have never seen it if my friend didn't bring me here. Location is not the best as it is right in a smaller plaza on the side of Story Road near the 101 freeway. At least they chose an area that is slightly less saturated. Vietnam Town is really close by and they really do have too much going on over there sometimes. Parking lot is also small, but it seems to work well with the smaller plaza size.

I remembered Hien Khanh Dakao opened recently and decided to stop by. The inside of the shop is small, though the seating arrangement inside looked roomy with bar seating against the window, tables, and even a bench. The decor and ambiance were very floral and inviting as well. The shop was completely empty when I arrived aside from a lady behind the counter who appeared to be eager to take my order. Since soursop is somewhat hard to find on a menu anywhere, I decided to order the Soursop Snowhite under blended drinks (I'm not sure if the misspelling was intentional or not). This was one of the two most expensive items on the menu and came out to $10.95 after tax, which is quite pricey for a simple smoothie without anything added to make the price justifiable. My drink was ready in about five minutes. If I had to guess, the cup size used was 16 oz with overflow in the cap. The drink had the soursop flavor I was hoping for and the texture was thick, but fortunately not overly thick that it was hard to suck out of a straw. However, I only noticed smalls bits of soursop as if only a small amount of real fruit was used and the rest of the flavoring was artificial or filler. For $10.95 I was definitely expecting more in terms of quality and I felt ripped off getting this smoothie. Perhaps I should've played it safe and ordered a che dessert or one of their special drinks. I'm not sure if Hien Khanh Dakao gets busy during peak dining hours or on weekends, but I could see why I was the only customer during the time of my visit. I think I would've had a better experience if the pricing was not much higher than drinks from other businesses in Vietnam Town.

This drink consists of longan, grass jelly, pandan jelly, basil seeds, coconut meat, and coconut juice. They did not skimp on the toppings at all and the jelly here was sooo soft!

    Vietnam town is always a good side of SJ to visit if you want a nice pick-me-up latte (whether it's…read morematcha or coffee). My aunt brought me to Trung Nguyen Legend and I was so glad to try it out. We came by on a weekend so parking in the plaza was ridiculous as expected. The cafe itself has seating inside and outside on a covered patio. There wasn't too long of a wait to order or for our drinks to be ready. I got the iced Viet egg coffee. So yummy! Very strong as Vietnamese coffee usually is. Perfect caffeine level to bring on the drive from the Bay down to SoCal. If you are looking for an egg coffee that's on the stronger side, I would definitely recommend Trung Nguyen Legend. When I'm back in town, I'm for sure going to stop by to get my fix.

    I was honestly shocked by my recent experiences here. Last…read moreweek, my mom came by twice--once on a weekday and once on the weekend. Even though the shop was nearly empty, she had to wait at least 15-20 minutes on the weekday and almost 45 minutes on the weekend just for coffee and bread. That kind of wait time is simply unacceptable. What surprised me even more was that every time I visited, there were only 2-3 employees working. This is a well-known coffee shop, yet it feels severely understaffed. In the U.S., customers value their time, and any business should understand that. If you consistently make people wait this long, don't expect them to keep coming back. The drinks used to be one of the reasons I loved this place. They weren't the absolute best in San Jose, but they were good enough that I kept returning. Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined. One day the coffee is overly bitter, another day it's overly sweet. The taste is inconsistent from visit to visit, which tells me there is little quality control. I'm extremely disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite coffee shops, but the way it's being run now makes it feel like customer experience is no longer a priority. Long wait times, inconsistent drinks, and chronic understaffing are not what I expect from a business with this reputation. Tuần trước mẹ mình có tới mua trong tuần hay cuối tuần gì đều đợi nước và bánh mì rất rất lâu mặc dù tiệm rất vắng khách. Mình khá bất ngờ vì một thương hiệu lớn như vậy mà quy trình làm quá chậm chạp đợi ít nhất phải từ 15-20p cho trong tuần và thậm chí 45 phút cho cuối tuần. Càng bất ngờ hơn khi tiệm chỉ có 2-3 nhân viên hầu hết mỗi khi mình ghé đến. Thật sự họ có hiểu thời gian ở Mỹ cực kỳ quan trọng không? Kinh doanh họ phải hiểu điều đó chứ? Còn không thì đừng mong có khách! Nước họ trước tới giờ cũng đâu phải gọi là quá tệ ở San Jose này. Nhưng dạo gần đay Chất lượng nước càng ngày càng đi xuống, cà phê thì bữa đắng bữa ngọt, vị thay đổi liên tục - không ổn định. Quá thất vọng vì một cửa hàng coffee mình rất yêu thích lại thay đổi cách run tiệm như kiểu không tôn trọng khách hàng!
