    I've only tried their banana matcha so I can't speak to their coffee (which I've heard amazing things about), but this drink in particular is solid! I prefer a little stronger matcha flavor, but the quality was good. The banana cream top didn't taste artificial at all. They also have several seasonal drinks (I want to go back to try the piña colada matcha) and food items. The inside is pretty small, but super aesthetic, clean, quiet, great natural night, and there are several tables. I can envision it being a nice study spot too! I also left with a gift card for my roomie (this is one of her fave matcha spots in South Bay) and the staff member was kind and helpful.

    I love getting egg coffee here especially when I'm around the area. Egg coffee is my go to and Phin Cafe is one of my favorites for them. I do like my coffee a little darker so here and there I will add an extra shot or ask for less sweet coffee. The staff is patient and super helpful when recommending drinks too. The cafe itself is so cute and my kiddos love it here. They especially enjoy the spam masubis.

    Two years later, I'm still impressed by the consistency, service, and quality of the drinks and snacks here. Today I had an iced latte with oat milk and a chicken pastry, and both were great. I stopped by around 9:30 a.m., and it was calm, serene, and quiet. After 12 p.m., it tends to get jam-packed, so I'd definitely recommend going early if you want a more peaceful experience.

    Pandan Coffee

    I've visited this location of Phin Café a couple times to work from café when visiting the South Bay. It's a great spot with a decent amount of seating and free WiFi. I was drawn to this place because of their speciality drinks, and I especially like the pandan coffee, which comes with a yummy cookie that's hollowed out, so it can be used as a straw to eat the pandan foam.

    I've been going here regularly as my favorite coffee shop for a while now! Even though I like to try new drinks from here when I see them advertised, I will always be faithful to my one true love, nutella banana coffee. Besides the drinks being amazing, the food is also amazing. I believe we tried the spinach and kale pate chaud, and also the chorizo one. Both were honestly amazing. To be honest, it's a bit pricey for a pastry so small but it is quite filling and I'd like to think it's worth it for the amount of labor that probably goes into making such a small bite absolutely amazing! The ambiance is also quite nice, people there are usually studying so it's quiet and very welcoming I'd say. I love the interior decorations as well because it makes this place feel like it's a separate own thing and not connected to the other stores nearby. I love the classical music covers that they play inside the store as well. The baristas are always nice and willing to help with giving any suggestions and answering questions for when I have/need any. And lastly, the wait time is very reasonably low for the amount of people also ordering. Overall, I love this place and I will continue to be back for that nutella banana coffee. + Phin Cafe and Goodwill makes me genuinely enter flow state

    Pandan Matcha ($7)
    John D.

    Café Away A locally-owned specialty café that has seen a lot of success lately, as they've just opened their fourth location in less than four years (circa 2022). They specialize in Asian-style sweetened tea and coffee drinks with some unique flavors like Pandan, Ube, and Egg coffee. They also serve a small selection of bánh mì, musubi, and pastries. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Online orders and pickup available * Order and pay at the kiosk * Great décor and vibes inside. A great place for studying or just chilling out with a drink. * The Pandan Matcha was still a little too sweet for my liking despite selecting the "less sweet" option, but otherwise it was very good. The Meh: * The bánh mì were just okay. I wouldn't come here specifically for them, but if you happen to be here and you're hungry, they'll get the job done. * No outdoor seating The Ugly: * Located between a Salvation Army and a head shop, this location draws in some suspicious characters just lingering about the lot. Conclusion: Drinks were pretty good, but avoid the sandwiches. I'll probably skip this location and try their newer Campbell location next time, which is closer to home.

    Came across Phin Cafe while browsing Yelp for a drink and decided to stop by since it's close to home and the menu looked interesting online. We ordered: - Banana matcha (3/5): The banana flavor was pretty subtle, and while the matcha was decent, it leaned a bit on the grainy side. - Avocado smoothie (4.5/5): You really can't go wrong with this one; smooth, well blended, and perfectly creamy with the milk - Pandan coffee (3/5): The pandan initially tasted quite artificial, but once it was fully mixed into the coffee, it was just okay overall.

    I've been hearing about Phin cafe for a few months now but haven't made a dedicated trip to try. Had lunch yesterday in the plaza across the street and saw it was close by!!!! Sunday afternoon around 2pm did not have a line, pretty quiet and empty besides 4-5 people waiting for their drinks. I walked in and was so happy to see a long list of Asian flavored cream topper to their coffeeee!!! I saw that they had durian, pandan, ube and of course egggg. There were more but those flavors stood out to me the most. The only downside is that they don't really tell you the difference between the house coffee or the in-house phin coffee unless you ask the cashier. The house coffee is their regular coffee with a flavor cream topper. The in-house Phin coffee has to be drank in store, comes with their drip coffee with condensed milk, the foam on the side and pieces of toasted baguette to dip and eat with it. After the cofffee is done, you pour into your cup of ice and put the cream top over it. We got the house coffee with durian topper and the Phin coffee with pandan topper. My friend and her bf both got pate chauds-- one sesame and one chicken. Wait time for food and drink was relatively quick. Maybe 5-10 minute or less. My friend mentioned the pate chaud was dry but flavor was ok. The lightly buttered sweet toasted baguette that came with the Phin coffee was also soooooo dry. I tried eating it and I couldn't even finish it, even dipping it in the cream didn't save it The coffee itself was pretty good!! The durian cream is very fragrant and yummy, not too overpowering but good for durian lovers. The pandan cream was also fragrant and had the classic coconut and light vanilla grassy taste. My friend's bf liked their coffee so much, he ordered the coconut one to go for later! Decor was very cute, I love the extra cushions and benches. They decorated it for Christmas so they have a bunch of Christmas display items.

    Corn Matcha
    Anh T.

    I ordered Phin Cafe to get me through one of those tired days in the office. I tried a few items and overall had a mixed but pleasant experience. The corn matcha was really good. It was smooth, lightly sweet, and comforting, with a subtle corn flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. The egg coffee was rich, creamy, and well balanced without being overly sweet. Unfortunately, the sticky rice was too hard and dry. I would definitely come back to try more drinks, but probably skip the sticky rice next time.

    phin cafe is located along blossom hill road in deep south san jose...vietnamese coffee shop serving unique coffee drinks, fruit teas and smoothies from the drink menu....also providing banh mi sandwiches, pandan waffles, musubi and various fried items from popcorn chicken to fries...items looking good...ordered the iced coconut coffee $6.90...$1 tip to make it $7.90 total...didn't realized that coffee and coconut can go so well...topped with cream and shaved toasted coconut shavings...this is a great dessert vietnamese coffee drink...

    Durian coffee and pandan matcha
    Jenny D.

    Durian coffee: 4/5 way better once mixed and some ice has melted. Strong durian flavor in the cream. Pandan matcha: 0/5 the pandan tastes artificial. Really does not taste like pandan anymore. It tasted more like the container it's been sitting in--plastic-y. Matcha tasted grainy. Pass on this. Not as strong as Tram Coffee, which I kinda like. Lots of people ahead of me but didn't even realize because they were all online orders. If you're in a rush, order online!

    Crystal G.

    Coffee was delicious and egg puffs were too. I had the pandan coffee. They give you the option to sub with alternative milk, and decaf if needed. You can use the tablet to order or wait for a staff member. They decorate was cute and holiday themed. When we arrived there was a large table available for our entire group (8 of us). Will go back to try other drinks and food!

    Coffee with matcha cloud
    David W.

    We came here on Christmas morning for our coffee fix. Located in a small strip mall, Phin Cafe is known for their Vietnamese coffee and other Asian inspired drinks. The service is really nice and everyone is friendly. There is ample parking in the strip mall. I went with a coffee latte with matcha cloud topping ($7). I wasn't sure what to expect mixing coffee with matcha, but it came out great. The latte tasted like a normal latte with milk and gave that coffee taste I was looking for. While the matcha cloud was sweet and fluffy, with a hint of bitter matcha flavoring. I loved it! A real match made in heaven. Overall, I'd definitely come back for another round of latte + matcha cloud, or to try something new.

The banh khot was warm and crunchy. I love when you can taste hints of coconut and when the garlic is suuuper strong lol The garlic noodles were alright tbh. The noodles were a little hard but the shrimp was cooked perfectly! They're definitely meant to be more of a takeout spot. They were pushing out party trays like crayyyy when we were there. I'd definitely keep them in mind for these occasions in the future!

Despite it being in a big lot, parking still took a while to find. Thankfully, we had thankfully just beat the lunch rush and not had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. My friend and I shared a Northern spread (Bun Cha Ha Noi) and a Southern style Goat Curry (Banh Mi Cari De). Service was definitely on the slower side that day, but thankfully we were proactive at getting the orders in. The Bun Cha Ha Noi was delicious - pretty much a DIY spring roll - all the fun, all the mess, with none of the clean up other than licking the plates clean. The pork belly was delicious; I was surprised how much I liked it, since I'm not a fan of pork. I devoured numerous rolls, and we also had some extra vermicelli to finish off the rest of the protein. This single meal was definitely more than enough for two! The Banh Mi Cari De (goat curry) was unfortunately quite the opposite. The goat was cooked very well - tough, gamy, and difficult to eat. There were probably six pieces in total, our first was tender, our second had bone, a little harder to chew, and the last was best compared to rubber. The curry was a bit watery, which made the banh mi soggy when dipped in. This was probably an adventurous try, but not a dish I'd ever consider ordering again.

It's a grilled tumeric fish dish that packs a ton of flavor, and you add noodles and herbs to make a delish spring roll (or in my case a fat burrito). It comes out on a sizzling plate so you have to let it cook a bit to render the onions and dill to get that perfect texture. The sauce might be a bit fishy to some, but it's what ties the bite together! It's def an acquired taste, but if you are open to trying new things, please come try this speciality dish. Tip: on Wednesdays, this dish is only $28, whereas the OG price is around $36. The fried rice here was surprisingly super flavorful! You can taste the separate grains (which is when you know the cook on the rice is good) and the salt levels were top tier. I would come back and get this togo if I was too lazy to create my own food with the spring rolls. Overall, you are here for the food, not the service and decor.

If you can't find parking in that plaza, there's more parking across the road where the Target is. After spending about ten minutes on the written wait-list, our names were called. It's definitely a little easier communicating with much of the staff if you speak Vietnamese, and I find that waiting right outside the restaurant is best because they default to calling your name from the door once it's your turn. The interior is crammed with tables; the atmosphere feels busy and warm. There is a single room women's bathroom and men's bathroom in the back as well. The decor leans toward being classic more than trendy, which I liked. The menu is pretty big, offering a variety of items ranging from mainstream Vietnamese options to ones I don't encounter as often. I recommend eating family-style for many of these dishes, including the Bún Chả Cá Lã Vọng, which I enjoyed with my partner. The prices are pretty average, and their portions are generous. That said, they are cash or Zelle only. There is an ATM that you can use if you forget to bring cash, but this is still something to keep in mind. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back. I wish I had the stomach capacity to try more of their dishes at once, and I 100% recommend that anyone give this place a shot.

We really enjoyed everything but the Bo luc lac (shaken beef) was super tender and the beef was flavorful! This is a must try in my opinion! This restaurant is clean and tidy and has cute decors of bamboo hats hung from the ceiling and remind me of being back in Vietnam again. Staffs were attentive as customers entered. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza. I will definitely come back here for everything I tried during my visit and to try more when in the area or on the way back from Santa Cruz. This will also be a great place to grab Togo for picnics or for hiking as well! My kids are already asking to come back to the restaurant after our first time there. So glad to know of another Vietnamese restaurant that has so many yummy dishes in SJ!

    this place is such comforting food for me. my parents have been taking me since i was young, and…read morethis is our go-to for this particular viet dish called bún măng vịt, which is vermicelli noodles, duck meat, and bamboo shoots! bún măng vịt - i loooove the sauce they have here. you put a bit in the soup but careful to not too much since it could get salty, and i love dipping my chicken/duck into the sauce!! the sauce really does complete this dish. i really appreciate that you can ask for more sauce for free any time. inside is colorful and is what you can expect from a little asian restaurant. we came at 1pm on a sunday and it was pretty busy, so the staff took a bit of time to take our orders and provide water. parking can be tough since the lot for this particular area is small, so i just park in the plaza next to it.

    The primary protein meats on the menu were duck and chicken. We ordered duck with a side of noodles…read moreas well as chicken salad with a side of noodles and also some eggrolls. The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
