Like its older sibling “Thai Tea”(orange color), this Thai Green tea leaf gets less stardom, but give it a try. Unlike the heavy notes of traditional Thai Tea, the Thai Green has medium flavoring but adds a more refreshing aftertaste. We slowly brew this tea at lower temps to retain its natural refreshing flavor. Fresh daily brewed tea as always!

Ought to try their famed fruit smoothies next time. They have really easy and nice self order and sweet people working there. WiFi as well. Parking right in front. Fruit tea was really good!
This spot was easy enought to get to. There waz a lot of parking behind the building when we got there. The person at the register, I believe his name was Calvin (?) was very helpful and patient with the few questions we had. The drinks and food were delicious. We got the popcorn chicken, takoyaki, and creme brulee toast for food. We loved how the popcorn chicken was season, the takoyaki was really filling and the creme brulee toast was the right amount of sweetness
Omg you have to try their creme brûlée toast! One of the best dessert piece I’ve tried. Their matcha iced cream milk green tea is also super good! Stick with the 25 or 50%sweet if you don’t like too sweet like me
I recently visited CAFFE:iN – Santa Clara and had a really good experience. I ordered the popcorn chicken and a matcha latte, and both were great. The popcorn chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the matcha latte had a nice balanced taste without being too sweet. The cafe has a clean, cozy atmosphere and the staff were friendly and quick. It’s a comfortable spot to relax, grab a drink, or hang out for a bit. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more items.
I wasn’t expecting the popcorn chicken to be so good. The Santa Clara students all come here to hang out, grab a boba, but damnnnnnn the popcorn chicken had the perfect amount of salt, flavor and crunch. I would come back just for that! Now I know why the kids love it here. Shout out to Stephanie who was working the back pumping out those drinks. Even though 25 of us showed up at one time, she handled it like a boss. Bonus: Opens late!
The fruit smoothies at this location are always great to have. Their snacks and rice dishes such as the curry chicken and popcorn chicken are also quite tasty. However, I will say that the fried calamari is a disappointment. As the restaurant will close either at 11:00 pm or 12:00 midnight, it is a great place for a midnight snack.
Loved it, Malaysian chicken curry tasted authentic with roti canai. The spiciness was on point for my taste. Chicken wings were great too, coated with batter with good seasoning. Ice milk coffee was great!! Bobba’s texture was sooo good. Crepes needed more nutella and less whipcream. It was a pleasant NYE experience, looking for foods that’s still open, they’re a lifesafer.
Small and cozy cafe is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for relaxing or catching up with a friend. I tried the Thai tea, and it was excellent—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also had their Boba Lava, which was a good and unique experience (forgot to take a pic). It’s something new and fun if you’re looking to try a twist on the usual boba drinks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
My nephew and I stopped by after visiting SCU yesterday. It was a perfect day to get boba so we came here Prices are similar to any boba place but the owner or workers here were super nice. We ordered gyoza, taro milk tea, and brown sugar milk tea. We didn't know the drinks already came with a boba and my nephew added boba to his drink thinking it didn't have it. The worker or maybe the owner, just super sized my nephew's drink. We were happy they did that. I like honesty and that was much appreciated. Will definitely come again since i work nearby.
Had a great experience at CAFFE:iN in Santa Clara! The menu has a fun mix of Asian desserts, milk teas, and savory bites, making it a perfect spot for both snacks and dessert. We tried the Tropical Paradise Honey Toast, which was warm, fluffy, and perfect for sharing. The Matcha + Nutella Crepe was delicious with a great balance of matcha and chocolate. For drinks, the Taro Milk Tea and Fresh Fruit Tea were refreshing and flavorful. We also ordered the Popcorn Chicken and Malaysian Style Curry Chicken Rice Bento, and both were really satisfying. The popcorn chicken was crispy and well seasoned, while the curry chicken had great flavor.
