Love this cafe. I use to go a lot when I was taking some classes at Chabot College. It was a great…read morehang out place to study back then. Now, it's just an awesome place to grab coffee and unwind. The staff are always so nice, and this time around we asked for our coffee to be put on a mug instead of "to go" cups. To our surprise, our coffees looked amazing. He was feeling very artistic that day Glad we decided to unwind and actually sat down after our 5 mile hike because heading here for coffee was such a pleasant reward. I wish we have more times like this instead of just grab and go coffee there.

I got an espresso…read more It had a good layer of crema and medium body. It tasted a dark Italian-style shot. Strong and bitter, but not burnt. I didn't pick up any particularly unique flavor notes. Drinkable overall, but for me, it fell a bit short of being a daily driver. 2.5 / 5. Cool that they roast their own beans. Next time I'm in the area I may pick a bag up to try at home.

After dropping off the girls at an all-day playdate with their cousins in Hayward, my partner and I…read morestarted our no-kids date at a gorgeous coffee shop. I had been to the church before, but I didn't remember the massive coffee hangout there! It's so spacious and offers plenty of seating. How long has this place been here? I wish it were closer to where I live in San Jose! I could easily imagine sitting in one of the comfortable nooks, studying or grading papers. It's also a fantastic spot to meet up or chat with a group of friends. It was definitely a nice place for a date! When we walked in, there were hardly any available seats, but the line at the counter wasn't long. We found a quiet corner to sit and enjoyed our breakfast. I ordered a hot latte with maple syrup in the name, though I can't recall the exact name. It paired nicely with my pastry. The almond croissant I ordered was delectable, with just the right amount of sweetness and flakiness. My partner enjoyed his cappuccino and savory bacon croissant. We walked up two steps to the restroom and were surprised to find more seats and tables. I wish I had noticed that area when I was looking for a place to sit. Oh well, it was comfortable where we were. The girls should have more playdates with their cousins so we can come here more often. Is it really called a "playdate" when the kids are 12 and 15, and their cousins are between 21 and 30?

Stopped by to grab a latte and a pastry on a Tuesday morning. I ordered a salted maple latte and an…read morealmond croissant. The salted maple latte was just ok... sadly it looked better than it tasted. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso as it left a very sour after taste, even with the sweet maple syrup it wasn't very pleasant. Good espresso should be balanced and coffee forward, and I didn't get that. Almond croissant was great, but I was a bit disappointed in their coffee. Ambience is great for studying or getting some work done.

This was initially a second choice option, that quickly became a place I'd return to. Everything…read moresounded delicious and what we ordered (scallion pancake chicken wrap, garlic Parmesan tater tots, popcorn chicken) was PERFECTION. The scallion pancake was expertly crisp on the outside, yet still pliable and forgiving. the popcorn chicken was tasty enough to stand alone without a dipping sauce (we're on a Thai sweet chili kick.) I believe they are seasoned with 5 spice. It was pretty empty when we came around 12:30, and when we left around 1:15, it was packed with a line out of the door. I look forward to visiting again, S&S!

After eating dinner, I decided to drive my way to Hayward to go to Sip & Savor since it's close to…read morewhere I ate at. This is quite unusual because this boba shop serves pastas since other boba places serve rice meals. Don't know but I guess that this is supposed to be a fusion restaurant? Inside is very quiet though, but I saw some people come in here. I also really like how they decorated part of the wall with "Sip & Savor" sign. If they covered the whole wall and even the ceiling, it would have looked like we're in a jungle. I didn't get pasta, but my mom and I wanted to try their boba. It's really good though. The Sip & Savor is slightly more expensive and it's quite flavorful even without adding boba. Not too sweet and it's just right. Definitely looking forward to trying one of their pastas if I were to come back!

Came here on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy, possibly too busy for the amount of workers…read morethat were present but they all handled the orders in the timey matter and did their best, which you cant ask for any more than that. As someone who has been drinking Vietnamese coffee since I was 12 (Im much older now), I am very picky with my Vietnamese coffee. This place knocked it out of the park with their coffee as well as offering flavors that I never tried other than the original. The phin set I ordered is for dine in only and understandably so. The pandan cream topping was definitely new for me and I would give it the compliment of saying that it wasnt too sweet. Not pictured was the pandan waffle and the two pate chaud I ordered, which I ate before taking the picture, I am sorry. It might be on the pricey side but hoenstly these days, what isnt? Im not complaining, I would come back next time I am around the area. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the workers there on that day. You guys seemed understaffed and getting slammed, but everyone did their job and delivered.

I've been here several times now, and the drinks have been consistently excellent. So far I've…read moretried the piña colada matcha, pandan coffee, egg coffee (less sweet), and coconut coffee (less sweet). Everything has been a hit! My recommendation is to order your drinks less sweet. It's the perfect level of sweetness. The only tweak I'd make is adding an extra shot of espresso to the coconut coffee. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the drinks. I tried a few of the bánh mì sandwiches, and the bread-to-filling ratio was way off. There just wasn't enough filling, and even after ordering extra veggies, it didn't seem like there were actually any extra added. If you're specifically craving a Vietnamese sandwich, I'd recommend driving about a mile up the road to Huong Sandwiches instead. That said, I still want to come back and try more of their food menu because the drinks alone keep bringing me back. The café itself is adorable. I love the modern design and all the greenery throughout the space. It's clean, quiet enough to study or work, and has about 7 small tables, making it ideal for solo visits or small groups of up to four people. I also appreciated the powerful hand dryer in the restroom (it's the little things!) and plenty of parking. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere.

I have been to Tram multiple times. I have tried the coffee, fruit teas, and the snacks. I love…read morevietnamese coffee and southeastern asian flavors. I had the saigon coffee and the coconut. I prefer the saigon coffee, but to me, it was pretty comparable to vietnamese coffee found at any pho restaurant. I had the jasmine longan fruit tea. The only shop that sells longan in a fruit tea that i know of. I would come back for this drink. The popcorn chicken was crisp and not soggy like other shop's. I would recommend this snack. But what i REALLY love from here? The macaroons. The flavors...excellent. The size...excellent...for its price. Each of the flavors i have chosen from here (thai tea, ube, pandan coconut, birthday cake, blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel, and passion fruit) were great. This would be the place to get these flavors in my opinion! The shop has nice seatings. If i was still in college or needed to work in a cafe, id choose to work here. The only con is exiting the parking lot. You cant turn left and if you can, you have to drive around to a light to turn left.

Atmosphere Very bright, warm, spacious interior that is well lit due to st-facing windows. Music is relatively loudly/lively. 2. Drinks / Food a. Banafe - 9/10 - banana cream very delicious and authentic! but I think the coffee was a little too strong for me b. Banacha - 10/10! - super well balanced, and again the banana tasted fresh / authentic (not artificial!) c. Saigon Coffee - 8/10, a bit watery and a little too bitter for me d. Ube Coffee - 9/10 - well balanced and delicious! 3. Amenities Plenty of seating, although mostly for smaller groups. Mixture of chairs and bench seating. Outlets along the perimeter. Has WiFi and a restroom. Parking is more limited.

I had stopped going to Paris Baguette for the cakes because prices had gotten expensive for me, but…read moreI needed a last-minute graduation cake for the next morning and only had about 30 minutes before closing. When I went in, there was a graduation cake I wanted, but I was told they couldn't sell it because they were out of cake boxes. A huge shoutout to Erin, Ankit, and the rest of the team for going above and beyond to make it happen. The cake was still $79.99, but when you have no other options and people genuinely care to help, it is completely worth it. They wrote a graduation congratulatory message on the cake, secured it carefully with tape, found a large box to safely transport it, and even helped carry it out to my car. Most importantly, the cake was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you so much to Erin, Ankit, and the entire team for taking the extra time and effort to make this happen. I truly appreciated your kindness and willingness to help, even without the proper cake box available.

Asked for no ice and it was excellent - not too cold but just right so flavors come through nicely and doesn't get diluted. Service was also much better and it was nice to see them busy on a weekday. The Dubai chocolate ice cream was also a lot better than the last time. The staff was kind to provide a sample. Would love to see more ice cream flavors in the future like seasonal flavors, rotating. And add some permanent flavors like lavender, black sesame, some savory flavors even.

I used to manage an ice cream shop for years so I tend to be an ice cream snob . The first time I went there service was slowww. It is 100% better now that they have adjusted to the flow. My favorite thing there is the Dubai soft serve! The first time I ordered this it was lacking toppings but I went yesterday on 7/3 and it was 20/10. It had the perfect amount of toppings and crunch versus last time when I got a mere sprinkle of crunch and droplets of chocolate. Because of yesterday's visit I will be back soon!! Overall cute place, good atmosphere and decent service!
