Here are Mr. Nguyen’s latest list (03/12/2024) for the San Jose coffee shops. I decided to change it up a bit as there are just too many cafes here, but really only a few are worth going to, so I have removed those that aren’t worth being listed. This is just a list. I decided not to rank the cafes anymore because my opinions don’t really match most of you. These are only the opinions of Mr. Nguyen, and you may not agree with them. The price of drinks have gone up, and the average is now $8 per cup of coffee and $9 for juices and smoothies. Food is approximately $12-$16.

1. Fantasy Café
1040 McLaughlin Ave
San Jose, CA 95122
Fantasy Café (formerly CN1) is a classic Vietnamese coffee shop to go to. It is lingerie/bikini only, but their uniforms are probably the most creative of all the cafes and leaves a little bit to the imagination. Boss lady, Chi Uyen, has a great eye for Vietnamese café fashion. The waitresses are by far some of the hottest girls in the history of Vietnamese coffee shops in San Jose. This coffee shop is a great place to take people who are new to the Vietnamese coffee scene. Fantasy and has banned the smoking inside all day and night. Coffee is $8/cup, and they have beer here as well. It’s a nice place to go to in the evenings for a beer. Fantasy closes at ~9PM.
2. Paradise Cafe
2400 Monterey Rd.
San Jose, CA 95111

Paradise remains at the top because of hospitality and talent. Their staff remains top notch in San Jose, and at any given time, they have about 3 or 4 girls working in lingerie. They have plenty of TVs for your sports viewing pleasure and a nice outdoor patio with umbrellas and heaters for cold weather. The location is somewhat out of the way for those working the tech scene, but they do have some great food options at their shop as well as many options around the café for those engineers looking for a spot to eat and drink Viet coffee. The tacos are awesome! It’s a good place to come in the evening to hang out also, and they typically show boxing and
MMA fights.
3. Nhà Hotspot
2133 Morill Ave.
San Jose, CA 95132
www.instagram.com/hs_sj
Nhà Hotspot is the new iteration of Hotspot Café and remains high in my book because of the great service and food. The place is brighter than it used to be, and the menu is even better than before. The location is a bit far from the hustle and bustle of Little Saigon, but it is well worth the drive. The attire is strictly PG, but it’s a somewhat refreshing change from the more risqué cafes. The venue is spacious, and the waitresses are extremely friendly and attentive. They make an effort to remember the regulars by name here, which actually gives this place a more intimate feel. Smoking has been banned completely. They have plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sporting event, Vietnamese and Korean pop, or EDM and hip hop music videos. During football season, it’s probably one of the best places to watch every single football game on TV.
They offer a variety of food and drinks for a very affordable price. Beer is on the menu. Coffee
is $8/cup. Visit their Instagram site to get updates.
4. Em Quyen
1998 Tully Rd.
San Jose, CA 95122
I believe the general consensus is that Em Quyen is the best risqué café right now. Most guys on this forum love this place, and it’s a constant subject of conversation. It’s a great place to grab a cup of coffee in the morning before work. With smoking banned all day, this place is one of the cleanest. In my opinion, the girls here are the hottest of the 3 rique cafes. Quyen is still one of the prettiest owners around SJ. This place gets packed frequently, and due to the small size of the café, it’s not uncommon to share tables with complete strangers. There are plenty of HD TVs to watch your favorite soccer matches or football games. No food is served here, but you can bring your food over to enjoy the games on TV. Coffee is $8/cup. Bring lots of cash for the Happy Hour (or what I call the shakedown). The shop closes around 5PM.
5. DV Cafe
1947 McLaughlin Ave
San Jose, CA 95122
https://www.instagram.com/dv_cafe_/
DV Café is the newest café in San Jose located right across from EQ and next to Palm Cafe. Attire is on the same level as EQ. The venue is nice and clean, and it’s non-smoking. The girls are extremely friendly, and a tip goes a long ways there. If you’re looking for risqueness, this ranks high on that scale, and I suggest you check it out. Bring lots of cash. Coffee is $10/cup, and they require you pay upfront as well as leave a tip when you leave. This place closes at 5PM.
6. Palm Café
1969 Tully Rd. San Jose, CA 95122
www.instagram.com/palm.cafePalm Café still make the list, but as usual, the smoking kills this place. The waitresses rank high on the hotness scale, and their uniforms are excellent. I would like to visit this place more often, but I can only stand the cigarettes for so long. Waitresses are generally hot. You can view their roster on their Instagram. They do serve beer here, which bumps this place up a few spots. I’m assuming the coffee is $8 here also. This place is open late.
7. Nguyen Espresso
1659 Tully Rd.
San Jose, CA 95122I’ve decided to include NE because it gets talked about a lot on this forum. However, it is one of my least favorite spots. Risqué factor is like EQ. Venue is small and cramped, but it is clean (relatively speaking) due to the non-smoking policy. The service is decent. This place is recommended for newbies to the coffee shop scene if they want to see what these cafes are all about. Coffee is $8/cup.
Someone snitched out the main 3. No more fun. Are the other shops worth going to?
When did this happen? NE was rocken today. No sign of any problems.
Did the police raid it? I havnent heard of anything.
Today open as usual
I’ve been mad everyday since Jan 20 2025. It’s not getting any better. The top 3 use to be my place to relax until I found out all the shops voted for trump. Now I got no where to go.
Please help me. It’s okay to vandalize Tesla and hate on Elon. It’s not okay to hate on transgenders.
Any recommendations on a transgender friendly coffee shop in San Jose?
Rainbow cafe? Off Race street
What’s the going rate for drinks these days. I went to NE a week ago and I think the lady miscalculated and charged me $12/coconut juice. Is it inflation or is it greed?
It’s greedy. They only do that to the customers that will keep coming back after being taken advantage of.
Stop being a simp bitch.
Which place is better? Fantasy or LuvCafe?
Any of the shops doing anything special for Mardi Gras?
Alina needs to open up her own shop and become a boss lady.
Hi Mr. Nguyen,
Do you have any review or feedback for LuvCafe on Alvin Ave. Would love to see your review of this shop.
Check out the SJCoffeegirls subreddit.
Anybody know when Amore is coming back to NE? I haven’t seen her in awhile and I’m trying to give her more of my money lol
Dear boss lady, the girls and I bring the shop a lot of money. You make so much, you don’t even work anymore. Since we can do your job while you away, can we all have a raise? I want to be paid as much as you. It’s only fair.
Which boss lady you referring to?
You don’t need discord to know when Alina is at DV. Just check her IG.
Stop disrespecting Alina with this DV rumor. It’s not true. She’s moved on from coffee and is doing $10 HJs under the 880 freeway.
So thats whats causing all that traffic on 880!!
I would really appreciate it if I can get the discord invite. This webpage/forum seems kinda dead and information is old.
Fantasy: Chanel, Britney, Janay
Chanel is bitchy.
When’s Alina working DV ?
I need to know when Alina’s working at DV too
What happened to Alina ???
Someone ppsted she was working at DV. Anyone seen her there?
I walked into fantasy this fine Wednesday morning. Missy saw me open the door and greeted me with a sexy smile. She walked up to me and gave me a warm hug. She walks away while I stare at her perfectly toned ass.
Before I could sit down, Janay walks over showing off her sexy long legs and long blonde hair, she gives me my second warm hug of the day.
In about 3 minutes, missy brings my drink over to me, made strong eye contact with me, smiled and walked away. While walking away, she slapped her ass as if she caught me staring at it the first time.
Janay refilled my tea. She started to talk to me, but a huge crowd just walked in and she needed to cut my conversation short. Haha

Isn’t this place closed now?
That’s great news that they reopened! Do you know their new hours?
