Really great tea/boba spot! Honestly I think it's underrated. I ordered a Matcha Einspanner at 50%…read moresweetness and it was perfect. Sweet enough to still taste like a little treat but the matcha flavor still came through, and it wasn't grainy at all. The whipped cream on top was delicious and lightly sweetened, which I loved. I ordered for pickup via DoorDash and my order was ready when I arrived. Very quick service and friendly barista. The interior is pretty casual with 4 small tables inside for seating. Very clean and modern. There's a bit of merch at the entrance of the store. The shop is also located conveniently next to an apartment complex. There's a parking garage available as well with ample parking. Can't wait to come back!

Also has cute capybara merchandise and plushies on display. We were in need of energy boost and stopped by for a drink and decided to order the lemon poppyseed muffin. Wow, that muffin! Soft and moist, and freshly baked with the best burst of lemon-sooo good! I would probably come back just for that muffin! For drinks, I ordered a hot Hojicha Latte and the next time I was there, I ordered an iced Strawberry Hojicha Latte, and both were good. I also tried a Calamansi Green Jasmine Tea and it was a bit sour. After adjusting sugar and ice levels, and watering it down, I still didn't like it. The barista offered to make me a new drink and I loved what I replaced it with. Really appreciated the effort and kindness. Love this cafe and hope to be back soon for more muffins, more tea, and more capybara cuteness!

You could taste both the sesame and hojicha. I've been to a fair amount of boba shops where the hojicha overpowers the sesame, but B cafe had the right balance. The drink took some time because it was made with care. I saw what I suppose is the owner (an older gentleman) making the drink and taking his time whisking the hojicha and sesame. Lovely spot with ample seating. I'll be back to try their other items!

I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink. Would get again. For the eggspresso hanoi, honestly this is what I get almost every time I come here. Always get the 50% sweetness with less ice. Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

I make my own viet coffee with crema at home but alas!!! Along comes Lacáphê !! It's usually super busy and I get overstimulated so I typically grab my drink and go. Recently I sat down inside and enjoyed my egg coffee for a bit. The line eventually grew. Preordering is clutch and crucial. egg coffee is perhaps my all time favorite. 50% sweetness, normal amount of ice. the perfect blend.

Very solid spot for some afternoon tea!…read more I tried the strawberry matcha latte. The matcha was high quality, and very good on its own. However, once mixed in with the strawberry puree and oat milk, the strawberry puree did mask the matcha flavor. However, it was still a good and yummy drink! The strawberry puree tasted unique too, but I don't know how to put the taste into words so you're just gonna have to try it for yourself :)) We also tried the genmaicha tea, and it tasted like faan ziu to me, but I love faan ziu so I liked it! It was very refreshing for the hot summer day it was. Heads up that they only have almond oat and soy milk! A very solid spot to get some work done too. There isn't much foot traffic, so it's pretty calm and quiet. They have tables and wifi! Workers were sooo sweet and kind too!

Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!
