Here are Mr. Nguyen’s latest rankings (04/24/2023) 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 worth going to, so I
have removed those that aren’t worth being listed. The rankings reflect the cafes as a whole
(girls, venue, coffee, food, service, girls, smoking/non-smoking, and girls). These are only the
opinions of Mr. Nguyen, and you may not agree with them.

1. Remedy Cafe
1150 Murphy Ave. Suite C
San Jose, CA
www.instagram.com/remedy.sj
Remedy is located in San Jose on the corner of Murphy Ave. and Old Oakland happens to be
conveniently located near my office making it easy for me to come here during my lunch break.
Rosanna owns this shop, and she wisely chose a location near all the tech companies along North
First Street. Remedy is an excellent café, and from the start, Rosanna has run this place the way
I would if I ever owned a café. The talent level is excellent, the place is non-smoking and clean,
there are plenty of TVs, food is great, music is good but not deafening, and the vibe is chill. At
any given time, there are two-three waitresses working, and their waitresses are top notch. They
are extremely friendly and have been known to sit down and chit chat. Typical attire includes
lingerie or bikini. Coffee is $7/cup. You can visit their Instagram site to get updates on who’s
working.
2. Monterey Breeze Cafe
2400 Monterey Rd.
San Jose, CA 95111
www.instagram.com/cafeparadise408
Monterey Breeze (formerly Paradise) remains at the top in my books 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. It’s a good place to come in the evening to hang out also, and they typically show boxing
and MMA fights.
3. HS Coffee & Juices (a.k.a. Hotspot Café)
2133 Morill Ave.
San Jose, CA 95132
www.instagram.com/hs_sj
Hotspot remains high in my book because of the great service. 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. They’ve branded the Hotspot name
and have been known to pass out T-shirts and sweaters with their brand on it. 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 on who is working.
4. Fantasy Café
1040 McLaughlin Ave
San Jose, CA 95122
Fantasy Café (formerly CN1) is a classic Vietnamese coffee shop to go to. I decided to move it
up because it’s actually been pretty good lately. 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. Fantasy closes at 9PM.
5. 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. 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 run next door to Subway and bring your food over to enjoy the games
on TV. Coffee is $8/cup. The shop closes around 5PM.
6. DV Café
1947 McLaughlin Ave
San Jose, CA 95122
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 $8/cup.
This place closes at 5PM.
7. Palm Café
1969 Tully Rd. San Jose, CA 95122
www.instagram.com/palm.cafe
Palm 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 excellen. 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.
8. Nguyen Espresso
1659 Tully Rd.
San Jose, CA 95122
I’ve decided to move NE up to the #6 spot. They have improved the talent level, but I still
believe the top 5 have the best talent. 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 $6/cup.
Do y’all know if Jayden from DV has insta?
Yes. They all do.
What’s her user?
Anyone notice that Luvcafe got dropped from mrnguyen top 8.
Only because she asked to be. 🙂
We all know why she asked to be removed.
Why?
Breeze so nice. Mel appear suddenly and I very surprise to see her — no panties on for real! It difficult to go in. They say not park in the place because it for the workers. I enter through the side and call someone to open door. You need know someone to enter. They still fix it up inside, so if you okay with dirty and noise, tell me and I can help you go in!
I’m OK with noise. How do I get in?
this seems legitimate
Why are people lying about Monterey Breeze on here. Went on Saturday and still not open.
What time did you go? It was pretty packed, i watched the canelo fight there
So weird. When I went Sunday pm there was a bunch of construction and they said they’re opening next week. Why hype up a place that isn’t open yet? If they are open limited hours, when? They want us to keep driving there to find out. WTF business doesn’t want to tell customers when they are open?
Someone here said check out IG on cafembx. Zero posts there.
Is there anyone at EQ that’s hotter than Fantasy kat?
Fantasy cat is former paradise cat she is not all that. Stop hyping it up. Maybe it’s her writing this…. Who knows
I dont think so! Kat is #1
I wish kat would love me back. Dear kat, please at least notice me when I visit you.
too bad you never saw Kat working at the Oc shops a while back. she was showing down there but won’t do it in SJ.
See Monterey Breeze advertising after hours starting at 10pm on IG. Anyone got any info?
Fantasy: Kim and kat dream tag team.
Kat looking hot. She signed an exclusive contract with fantasy.
What hours Kat is working ?
Exclusive contract!?!?? Puhahhhhahaahhhahhahha what does that even mean
You didn’t watch the coffee shop girl draft last week? Fantasy and EQ got some good picks but NE made some bad choices.
Fantasy: Kim and Kat dream tag team.
I’m here every Saturday for kat. She’s fucken hot as hell.
Yeah but is Kat hot?

Shannon is worth visiting when she’s at EQ.
EQ – Shannon, Becca, Cindy, Viet Angel, Lina and Mercedes this morning.
I’m jealous of you seeing Mercedes and Shannon under the same roof.
That right there is the textbook definition of “T & A”.
And By the way… is there any girl anywhere who works more hours than Cindy?
I have -never- been to EQ and -not- seen her there.
Hey yall, just want to let you know the OC has really surpassed the scene in SJ.
Dang has consistent shifts of model talent.
Starz has begun a quick climb back up the charts.
More details to come
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpYL0fTO9Te/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Don’t open and please remove, it’s a video of some Asian dude bragging about his small penis. So gross.
EQ Becca, Cindy, Leana, Viet Angel
+ Mercedes and Shannon
Shannon and her amazing booty will be back at EQ on Friday.
How do you know?
I dont care for her booty. Her libia is huge and beautiful. yummy.
New white waitress at EQ has great tits and a good personality, hopefully she sticks around.
Happen to get her schedule? It’s good to see that EQ is reloading in talent. It had gotten stale there. Hopefully NE will do the same.
DV Lily, Paris, Stephanie, Dong, and some other Latina.
What happened to cafe paradise? Was there on Saturday for the fight, went there today and they are closed. Must be tough out there for them to be out of business. The people cleaning out the place says the business is closing down. Wow… Where is the best hotspots on Monday?
CP closed for week i heard and business name change
They told the regular customers at fight night they were closing down.
I’ll only miss seeing Erin from paradise. She’s the most feminine of all the coffee gals.
I love Erin. I’ll miss her.
Fellow coffee lovers – please rank the girls of DV and EQ by cup size
dv – 1) Sarah with biggest tits 2) Lily
Dv I would say 1st jayden and a close 2nd is lily
Eq The new white girl has great tits, ngoc was great too but haven’t seen her in a while
Cup size? what are you guys – 15?
Agree, we should also consider Ass and Face.
EQ. Cindy. Rebecca. Lina. New rose. New girl.
There’s a “NEW” Rose? And what does the new girl look like?
New rose and new girl “Mercedes” look pretty good.
Is viet Angel still working at EQ Friday afternoons? She’s fun when in the mood.
I heard she has been moving to LA, get away from EQ bossy.
I’ve seen her at 168, but she didn’t do very well. The cliental isn’t really into that FOB type. Lots of sexy young girls in OC she’s bottom shelf. But that was just when I was there. Might be different other times.
Seriously, nowadays, who is still bringing in their laptops (pretending to do work) when your main objective for paying $8-$9 drinks is to see some sexy girls. Go to a SB or Library if you want to do “work”.
Are you SERIOUSLY ask this question? If so, You have the same business acumen as the owners of DV. Hope you’re not the one advising them, or else bankruptcy is in their near future.
Looks like someone is mad at DV because someone got ripped off from an LD or didn’t get much love or attention from the girls and blamed it on the no laptop policy so have an excuse/reason to not go there anymore.
Everybody just mentions the girls but don’t mention the regular OGs that visit these establishments

This guy was a regular OG at Paradise Cafe that followed Kelly around when she used to work there
I miss him
When is Kelly coming back?
DV – this cafe is on a downward spiral to me. I went during a fairly standard time, but the place was largely empty despite being spacious and newer. there were 4-5 server and another came in later and they didn’t really do much. They just milled around. There were maybe a handful of customers. They made it a point to collect the payment on drinks like they think you may drink and run. 10.00 for a soda. Then it was hit and run after a dance. Collect 40.00. Then go back to the table to chat with your fellow servers. Without being able to do work on my computer there and with this type of service – I can spend my bucks at NE or EQ.
It’s been said often that the computer thing is really hurting their business, but the bosses don’t seem to care. They have some really nice girls like Ivy, Sue,. Tiffany, Paris, they all give great dances as well.
I myself have had good luck with the girls sitting on my lap and spending a little time. Of course I tip, nothing crazy but decent. However some girls do just sit around and not really talk to customers waiting for lap dances. Namely Sara and Jayden. The girls also need to find the balance between getting the hand tips and lap dances. They can’t just g straight for the dances. DV has so much potential, it’s a shame it’s not being met.
who’s the really skinny Asian girl with curly long hair and nipple piercings?
I think is Katie
the really pettie girl
EQ. Violeta. Cindy. Lina.
anyone know any girl with an only fans
yeah. nearly 20 current or former SJ coffee girls have OF pages. do some digging and follow girls on IG and you can easily find.
Do you know if Deana has an OF page. I’d pay for that!
DV: Paris, Sarah, and one other Latin girl. Paris is great. Nice to speak to. Great a$$. 🙂
And Stephanie.
EQ report, anyone? I plan to stop by to get some caffeine.
was at OC thurs/fri. Quality of the talent is down at 168 – I’m guessing 2 much competition. Lap dances common at DD’s, but now also available at Starz, Lu’s and 269 (which is moving soon). A guy can spend a lotta money down south.
Where is 269 moving too? And yeah 168 seems to have at most one real hottie per shift and the rest are Meg. Even seen a few heavy weights there that wouldn’t even be hired NE here.
How was Lu it had fallen off but I’ve seen some IG posts and it seems like they are adding talent again. Where they doing rounds?
when did NE start having ‘happy hour’? good addition!
Been awhile now. Mostly on weekends. With the right girls it’s a fun little moment.
Who is the sweater puppy MMS at dv? she told me no laptops the other day. what’s the lineup for today?
That would be Dong.
Use to go to DV 3 days a week but since no more use of laptops. Only go on Saturdays or Sundays . EQ during the week.
Yeah the computer thing has really hurt their business. I don’t understand why they don’t amend that policy to no tablets, since that was the problem.
So I visited a few shops this week and here are my impressions:
EQ – this one sets the standard. there were 2-3 servers, all above average cute and obviously trained to take orders, fill coffee and circulate to see if patrons needed anything. the shop was pretty full with customers in and out. The manager (owner?) was a nice young lady who dressed well and looked like a former server. the waitresses were ranged from skinny to voluptuously and received plenty of tips
NE – this location is fairly smaller and older with older the chairs, tables and decor. The layout was a bit cramped. there were 2 girls working – one younger and one older. both had voluptuous body types, and the ladies stopped to chat with customers frequent. the lady behind the register was a little older but sported some enhancements.
DV – this cafe is a bit curious to me. I went during a fairly standard time, but the place was largely empty despite being spacious and newer. there was 1 server and another came in later and both didn’t really do much. both had like tall clear heels on but just milled around. one of the older girls behind the counter wore like glasses, sweater and sweatpants? so it didn’t make a lot of sense despite being mentioned fairly often here. maybe I’m missing a codeword to get the real ladies? or is there a best time to go?
This review has no validity of your claiming that EQ sets the standard and that the Boss was nice! Haha. It’s well known she’s is quite the shrew. EQ did at one time was the standard, but far from it now. Are you new to the scene?
And yes you are missing something about DV, you probably just went on an off day, or you look untrustworthy to them. Sometimes happens to new customers.
@ Bob Cook – your review is perfectly valid, and your opinions are respected. We appreciate you taking the time to type it into the system. Don’t pay any attention to the always-critical dickheads here who think they know everything. Your experience is similar to many others, and it seems that you caught DV on a quiet day/time. It definitely takes the staff a while to feel comfortable around a new guy. No special codewords, other than the frequent use of generous tips and maintaining a respectful attitude toward the girls and management. Like anything else (as in all these shops), the more time and cash you put in, the more you will get out (literally and figuratively). LVD out.
@DaUglyTruth,
Your response has no validity of you claiming that It’s well known EQ boss is quite the shrew. Are you new to the scene because EQ was never the standard and is no where near being a standard now.
And yes you are correct about DV, he probably just went on an off day and looked untrustworthy to them. Sometimes happens to new customers.
NE: Nikky, Violeta, lina
Was Lina from EQ ?
I’m sorry EQ
Lina is hot! Heard she from LA.
Now you’ve identified all of the boring places, how about ranking the shops and girls that give the most action and mileage?
fo sho bro. all these knuckleheads jawing about shops that ain’t sht and is like stop talking about Starbucks, Philz, Coffee Bean yah kno and start givin the inside line on honeys. that’s wht I’m abouts
you want the inside line go to dv. they will hook you up depending on what you $ay
yo yo yo my mans, who do I ask fo?
@dang
ignore these dude. all they do is complain lol.
dv is your best bet if you got money to invest
read about 2 pages back. you will get a good idea of who to ask for.
BTW calling people knuckle heads and then wanting the to give you info, shows your idiocy. Stop being cheap and spend a few bucks and do some of your own research if the updates aren’t to your liking.
Yo my mans, Imma new and just trayin’ to get the dl from true bros before wasting my times. not trayin’ to offend or nothin’. I comes over from ATL and trayin’ to get my bearings is all; I got money but no time, you knos what I sayin?
Imma lookin’ for freaky girls who’ll give me a littl sumthing extra extra ya kno for a few extra jacksons or evenna benny.
@Dang. Clearly you’re not from here. A few Jacksons won’t get you anywhere and especially not what your looking for. A few bennies that’s a start. Welcome to CA.
@DaUglyTruth,
BTW calling people cheap and then wanting them to contribute to this site with their own research, shows your idiocy. Stop being a rude crybaby bitch if the replies aren’t to your liking.
I see your powers of deduction are quite lacking. So Sherlock if we identified the boring shops, then stands to reason the others talked about are not boring. But if I find myself with some idle time I may add some reviews of the other spots. Stay tuned you may get lucky.
@DaUglyTruth,
I see your powers of deduction are quite lacking. So Sherlock a few boring shops were mentioned. There is no reason to believe that the other shops in San Jose are not boring or just as boring. If you find yourself with some idle time, stop jerking off and show some respect to the community. I’ll Stay tuned and pray for you.
@DaUglyTruth, which one is lily?
Lily back in the day was after Alina and she was just as hot if not hotter. I heard she owns one of the no fun coffee shops now. But I haven’t verified.
She is part owner of remedy on old oakland rd.
Lilly is way hotter than Tran.
Haven’t seen her recently so I wouldn’t know. But if she’s still at the same level then I agree. But claimed that Tran is the hotter on the block. Oakland RD is a different block
Lilly was fat at EQ. Lots of back fat. Pretty face agree, but otherwise out of shape and fat.
@DaUglyTruth,
The fact that you think boss lady at EQ, LuvCafe, DV, NE, Palm, paradise, Fantasy are on the same block while remedy is on another block explains a lot about why you’re a trump hater.
who is at ne?
A couple chubbie girls and one skinny semi cute girl. At least thats usually the case.
ne is all mexican waitress now. fat and old thao/jessica are only viet girls left. both are disgusting. they need to retire.
we get it you two like skinny chicks.
i have the opposite taste. let them be a little thick. jessica looks perfect
Don’t agree. Thao and Jessica both have spectacular nipples. Jessica’s are best but Thao has great breast shape. No need to run them down. They’re both very nice and accommodating.
