I have been coming to this Coffee Lover many many times! Definitely a great place for friends and family gatherings! As far as I remember, this place has been in business at least more then two decades! That just show you why many people loves Coffee Lover. They also recently just opened a new one on the Tully Road location. I've not been there yet but definitely would like to go soon because I know that they served Pho Noodle soup there. Super Sweet! I always enjoyed eating, drinking, and hanging out here. They offer lots of specialties dish, Snacks, and Smoothies! Their Avocado Shake, Vietnamese iced Coffee, and The Thai Steak Salad are pretty popular here. I'm definitely glad that this Coffee Lover have plenty of indoor/outdoor seatings and they open Everyday til Midnight!

Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy a refreshing, Boba, Vietnamese coffee, or tea beverage on their outdoor patio or watch the game inside on the giant screen tv's. Variety of menu selections to accommodate every Epicurean craving. Friendly, professional, and a great attitude from the staff.

Has to be one of the best coffee shops in San Jose. I only ever get the Vietnamese coffee, but they have a really good selection and an relaxing ambiance to enjoy it in. Or you can sip outside in their spacious outdoor seating area (if you're a car enthusiast, enjoy watching the Capitol traffic flow). If you're looking for a place to have a coffee and chill after class (super close to Evergreen Valley College), definitely check them out.

The staff has prepared the wrong order twice in a row when I drive through. I ordered the egg and pork terrine sandwich both times -- it came without egg the first time and without the pork the second time. They charged for the egg _and_ pork terrine each time. Prices are not listed on the drive through menu and they do not offer a receipt.

We popped by for a drive in iced coffee then saw they had Banh Mi sandwiches. We thought oh! We were not disappointed! Delicious and very fresh! It's now our new post Costco snack.

Special Vietnamese Sandwich Bánh Mì Thịt-Chủ -Pate, Mocha Punch, Thai Steak Salad

Convenient located off Capital expressway and Aborn Rd in San Jose. Ordered Vietnamese pork sandwich with Thai ice coffee. The sandwich was toasted with juicy BBQ sauce grilled pork, very tasty. The only concerned is no customer service and the place looks like a rundown.

Not quite sure what's going on at this establishment. Prior to Covid The price for one coffee and 1Tea Was about $5.50. Went back there today for the 1st time since last year and it was $9 for the both seems an awful lot of inflation since then. Not sure none of our regulars were there. May have just been a fluke but not sure

The Viet sandwich here is great but the price is a bit steep for what it is. I used to frequent here for the sandwich and iced coffee but stopped since the princes kept increasing. The inside is spacious with lots of tables setup. There are a few outlets by the walls which makes this place a potential spot to get work done.

Consistently good. The last time I had this place was a few years ago, and when I came back for a vacay, I took my new husband here since he’s never been. He fell in love with the iced coffee and my avo shake. Prices are steep though. But it might be worth it for the avo shake. There’s nothing like it!

The place is spacious, looks more like a sports bar with 6-7 bid screen TVs on the walls. Noisy from all those TV's, somewhat dark inside. Cappuccino was about Starbucks quality, quite bitter. If you don't ask for a mug, you'll get it in paper cup. Not the place I would come again.

Their Vietnamese coffee is SUPER STRONG and delicious!! Boba teas were really good too!!

Store had Good service before but since about two months until now service turn out really bad I had to wait in line 20 to 30 minutes or sometime I am at speaker about 10 minutes but no One taking the order I think the owner should pay Attention to bring back customer

I went there last night with friends. They served very nice. They gave us free water in a seal cup. My friends like it and drink them all. I save mind . This morning i took it to work. I found out a lot of chunk, like the water from the dish washer. It's so nasty.

Enjoy this place each time! Food is good, spring rolls, mung bean avocado smoothie and steak salad are my favorites! Many TV programs and good music. Can also work on my laptop while there. Only negative - you can sometimes smell outdoor cigarette smoke inside.

Love going here drinks are awesome great atmosphere. Customer service excellent.

Avocado Shake with Pearls

Friendly service could not make up for the average quality of foods and beverages. Poorly maintained facilities and dirty restrooms will definitely discourage those who have high standards of hygiene from coming back ever.

Honestly, this place could use a "makeover". The men's restroom is disgusting. The rest of the place is okay. I could tell that the building has been around awhile. Cleanliness is down to a bare minimum. Service is okay.

Quality of food went down and over price for a bowl of banh canh, sandwich and noodles. Service not at all good.

A fantastic local coffee shop. The place is always crowded thanks to its friendly staff and decent food. A plus for this coffee shop is that it is very spacious which is a great place if you come here in a large group.

Food preparers wear very very ...filthy, dirty gloves. They wear same gloves to handle money at cashier and keep wearing these filthy gloves back to food preparing. Look at their gloves, I almost want to throw out.

It was very slow, maybe because of Wednesday night being a weeknight. Cappuccino was good roast beef sandwich was also good. I did not like the fact that they serve cappuccino and paper cups add a coffee shop.

This coffee house have good coffee and great food. Some of the worker speaks limited English. So you may have to point out the menu pictures to order.

Drive thru vietnamese iced coffee is very strong, and the orange juice (ordered without added sugar) is fresh squeezed. Busy inside, but the service at the drive-thru is friendly.

This is a place we meeting and talking every weekend. I enjoy a cup of coffee of Vietnam, my friends enjoy snacks, dessert, even Pho, breads egg ...really delicious. Love and Thanks this place so much.

Good food, coffee. They even have boba drinks for those boba lovers. Good outside seats with viewing of the streets and cars. U can even come here to watch games such as soccer and football...u name it

Decent place for friends and family getting together for a coffee, a smoothy or that sort of drinks and some quick food such as Vietnamese sandwich. Their beef salad is also great. Recommended!

Ordered the chicken avocado sandwich. AMAZING. It is a Cesar salad sandwich. Very fresh tasting. Comes with chips and a pickle.

I been going to this location since 95. Always had Cafe Sua Da, Avocado Smoothie or Mocha Bianca with pearl. The staff is nice and the drive thru line isn't long. Accepts cash or card.

Tried to support a local business and they failed miserably. Sat for 10 minutes and were never approached at our table, although waitstaff passed 5-6 times. Super disappointed.

Had their veggie burger and it was awesome. The nicely toasted crisp warm buns along with a whole avocado made it extra yummy. The lady at the checkout was also very nice.

Great breakfast sandwiches and Vietnamese coffee

Place may need to remodel, and the size of coffee wasn't appropriate with the price. Staffs are super friendly and professional. The taste of coffee that I had was great.

We wait about 10 minutes but nobody come to serve although they see us come. Very disappointed about the employee. Bad service in this place.

Love the honeydew milk tea with boba. I also bought the tuna with fries. Very delicious and the staff was nice. Overall a great place to come and eat and hang out.

My wife and I had sandwiches and Vietnamese coffee, and they were tasty and delicious. Love them. Definitely will come back to try other things in their menu.

GREAT MOCHA PUNCH & VIETNAMESE EGG ROLLS!! GOOD PRICE & STAFF ALWAYS FRIENDLY, POLITE & WANTS TOO MAKE YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE ENJOYABLE!! …

Food was delicious and on point. The BBQ banh mi is really good. Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and good too. A lot of good choices to choose from

Great Vietnamese coffee and sandwiches. Chill place to hang out in their outdoor searing in the summer. Fast drive through. Good blended drinks.

Good coffee, friendly employees too. I like this place more than my local starbucks at least for regular black coffee. They have fast wifi too!

Bad service - Dirty restroom - Management doesn’t care about your complaints - Foods are decent and pricey not recommend to come here …

A lot of foreign chicks trying to date with American citizens in order to get stay in the US. Hahaaajaj.... this is the place is all about.

Just got coffee and a bagel. Both good. Menu looks great and I will be back to try more. 2nd visit just as nice. Enjoyed a good burger.

Service slow, coffee not made correctly, serving me a salad with coffee spoon. This place needs new management. Runs like Moms and Pops

Be Carefull use cash only used my card here then had fraudulent charges made on my card after this was the only place i had used it at

Mint chocolate chip shake is great. Not an easy place to study in. Loud. No knock on the establishment at all. More of a social cafe.

You can get milk tea at a drive-thru. It's awesome. My friend and I come by for milk tea after roller skating all the time.

Drink and sandwich for only 6.50$!!! AND I didn’t have to leave my car! Definitely stopping here again when in the area :)

Low quality. Customer service is decent but the majority of the staff have heavy accents and only moderate English skills.

Love their Vietnamese iced coffee and the fact that they offer large cups! Try the steak sandwich, always hits the spot.

Great place to meet with people. Is Big and there is a lot of TVs. Sandwiches are awesome. Plus they have a drive thru.

Good place for family or friend gathering, but this place crowded and sometimes you have to stand up to serve yourself.

Drive thru makes all the difference. Recommend the cookie shake! It's like a iced frozen mocha with oreos blended in.

I love their iced Vietnamese coffee, always delicious! And goes so well with thei breakfast sandwich! So yummy! …

Drinks were meh, sandwiches were meh. The inside is unique but people smoke on the deck so it smells like cigarettes.

We from Oregon stop by coffee lovers every single time we in san jose. Good coffee n Vietnamese sandwiches. Thank you

Sorry, not mt cup of coffee... if i was a different demographic and loved cigarettes this would be the go to place.

I love it here TC light ice coffee or Vietnamese ice coffee and the vermicelli beef are my favorite …

Terrible drive thru speaker, got order wrong, took a long time and almost forgot my dad's card in the machine.

My go-to spot for Vietnamese iced coffee — strong & sweet. Drive- thru makes the pit stop super convenient.

We Loved the beef teriyaki with rice aNd the Pearl drinks I got were real good cold buster and fitness one

For now, it was a nice location, but I've heard they will move. Good coffee and delicious breakfast!

Customer service was standard! Hot milk coffee from 1-10 I give a confident 3 sorry being honest!

Great sandwiches and coffee but the workers can be rude and just the asian community in general

Nice little coffee shop that also serves Pho and Sandwiches if you're into that kind of thing.

Had to be on this side of town for a stint of time & CL was my go-to for banh mi, café etc...

Good service, staff is nice, nice view , huge parking lot ...usually I came here at weekend

Similar to Starbuck but serves Vietnamese coffee. You can also get pretty good bakery here

PROS: -Awesome coffee and food! - Relax environment. - Vegetarian options. CONS: - None.

The drive thru is very convenient if you are craving boba and don't want to get ready.

Do have a great menu for hot food plus sport bar feel with big screen TV football game

Been here once and the smoothies are good, but I didn't really feel welcomed at all

Bad service, unfriendly waitress at drive through windows. Won't come back no more

They have Vietnamese coffee/smoothies and sandwiches and others Vietnamese foods.

Ham, egg n cheese breakfast sandwich with the French round bun is beyond Nam Nam!

Worst espresso of my life. It was way too hot and way too much. Diluted. Burned.

Great food. Better than fast food if you ate looking for a drive through option

Love their pearl drinks! Pineapple one is our favorite! Sandwiches are good too

It is good for the meeting and social life but Food and drinks not really good.

This place is good indoor outdoor shooting good coffee and big screen TVs

Love this place so much, always is my favorite coffee shop whole week ;)

My favorite drive through Asian Cafe. Sad they took out soy milk though.

Excellent choices of coffee and exotics....
