The man working was very nice and welcoming ! Went before work and they made my salted coffee very quick and tasted amazing! My first time here, will definitely be coming back. The store is very well kept and clean. Can't wait to try more drinks.
Is that a boba place I see? No, it's more! They have multiple flavors of Vietnamese Coffees, Milk Teas, Blended Drinks, and Fresh Juice Teas. My favorite is the Vietnamese Coconut Coffee because it's blended and the coffee is subdued by the sweet coconut. As for solid foods, Tcafe has Vietnamese sandwiches, beef stew, popcorn chicken, fries, egg bubble puff, and hot dogs. Service was friendly and fast with suggestions based on what I was interested in. My food and drink came out 5-10 minutes after ordering and the prices are much more affordable than other similar foods. Parking can get busy with limited parking at the back and in the streets. Several tables were available for sitting, I like the open inviting space and the calm anime study music. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. There's Xfinity and Free WiFi too. There's been a change of ownership and I've had to adjust my stars to 4.
Matcha Milo Bingsu- BOMB! will be back for the short ribs and rice, and to try the Squid Milo Bingsu Service was attentive, sweet, and fast! Thanks Tcafé I found my new fav spot
Very decadent drinks - more of dessert like. I ordered DoorDash and it arrived timely. I would like to try other items on the menu.
Parking is next to the laundromat. This is a family owned business. The decor consists of live plants. Lego flowers and anime looking figurines. Very cute and inviting. They have a little less boba variety but more of the Vietnamese coffees and fruit drinks. It's neat to see the variety of food items. They feature the typical popcorn chicken, french fries, egg bubble puff, and edamame. In addition, they have Vietnamese sandwiches, Korean BBQ short ribs, hot dogs, and beef stew. They even have vegetarian Vietnamese sandwiches. The drinks are refreshing. I got the Vietnamese Tiramisu Coffee. The only improvement would be for a little less ice. Otherwise very good! Egg Bubble puff was very tasty. Flavors can be added to the egg bubble puff, so that's a really neat difference. Very neat little shop.
I couldn't pick between the tiramisu and the egg coffee so I asked the owner and she kindly said both were good. So I told her I would get both. She was so friendly and asked if I wanted anything to eat I said yes please a sandwich. She asked if I wanted grilled pork or combination. I said grilled. She was so sweet to be packing my tiramisu to go and didn't put ice so I can do it later. It's such a cute place. I recommend stopping by.
Glad we came to this New Grand Opening Cafe shop Located Right on Alum Rock. Now there are many more selections for me around this Area. Since I'm such a huge Milk Tea boba fan, right away I look at the menu and all the flowers inside this shop. Lovely Fresh Fragrances, vibrant, Relaxing and Welcoming setting. I Love the Simple Food Menu and the drinks. I enjoyed my time here and looking forward to come back for the Pork Banh Mi Sandwich next time!lol
