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

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.
I’m sitting in fantasy right now. There are two girls walking around showing shaved kitties. Why is Mike go hating on fantasy so much.
When mikeng walks in, the girls cover up.
Does anyone else get an online pharmacy sometimes when they try to visit this forum? any tips on how to get the forum every time?
I also want to find out. Please hook big papa up for this so I can also get access to the pharmacy.
Why Nguyen Espresso no have Viet girl, only Mexicans?
That’s the best part
Actually, I think Tiffany is Viet, certainly not Mexican. She seems to be the Alpha there. Check her out but hold on to your cash. She seems to have a preternatural ability to hoover bills out of your wallet
Yeah if you are stupid enough to give her money
Tiffany is Korean and yes hold onto your money. For the other girls that will show you more appreciation.
doesn’t Jessica (formerly of quen cafe back in the day) still work there? she’s viet.
Tiffany is not greedy, but she doesn’t really deliver after she gets your money.
I wonder what days Jessica work there. I have not gone to cafe for a while.
Ask the boss about this.
There are no Indian girls working at fantasy. If there were, they would all have shaved kitties.
and it smells like curry..
Does any coffee shop have Indian girls?
I’ve never seen one at any of the cafes at any time, though CoffeeG might tell you that there are dozens at Fantasy right now, all with shaved kitty 🙂
No, they’re too busy trying to become engineers
besides, they’d need lawn mowers for their kitties.
Indian women are too intelligent to work there. It would be a wasted resource. Better to use Mexican women to work there since they are pretty much just walking mannequins.
Hey Are you a curry muncher?
Anyone know if Deanna at EQ works Monday’s either morning or afternoons? She’s worth my drive
She’s there right now (4/22) Monday morning.
Thanks
White Deanna or Mexican Deana?
two different girls, two different spellings
White is Diana, Mexican is Deanna.
Thanks Billy Cyrus
Does NE have any black girls?
Not a single one that I’m aware of.
EQ used to have Vanessa, but she’s been gone for awhile
EQ Lani (Mai’s buddy) is black or “black-adjacent”
I heard Vanessa is friends with Sofia and they are high end strippers from San Francisco. I think they went to EQ temporarily
I can believe that about Vanessa – super hot!
Sofia’s little sister was also hot
What’s a high end stripper?
a high end stripper charges more for her services than a mid grade or low end stipper.
@CoffeeG,
I’m thanking you NOW!
Who’s at fantasy right now??
What’s going on right now?
Fantasy cafe is trash. Don’t go
Why?
Go to fantasy at night. Thank me later
Tonight or every night?
Weekend nights
what goes on, if you can tell us?
MikeNg is gonna call you a liar.
LOL. Any one wants to verify can go check it out themselves. There’s nothing in this place worth going for. Girls show nothing. They stay mostly behind the counter. Maybe the food since there’s very few other places with food.
cannot understand why people push fantasy on here. Or maybe it is competition that is trying to get customers pissed off at the place.
They blowing air condition at NE! Rating going up.
Translation?
Girls give extra now so they popular now
Is every girl giving extras now at NE? lol curious
the coffee girls are sex worker. every one of them will do extras. if they tell you no today it probably means they already told someone else yes. try again tomorrow lol
I’m assuming the “Extras” talk is all just talk. If it’s not add more detail.
Previously, mama-san wouldn’t turn on the air conditioning unless the girls paid for it. A very hot and sweaty time for all. I was in on Saturday, and it was nice and cool. Don’t know who is paying.
Wow that’s bs the mamasan would make the girls pay for air conditioner. Why be that greedy
LOL naw I literally meant they turned on the air condition. They used to just use the fans even on hot days. Made the cafe stuffy. But air condition improved the experience for both us patrons and ladies
anyone know how late M cafe stays open?
Are there any spots in north San Jose or Milpitas?
At ne if you finger their butt, they offer extras
I tried this it didn’t work. Maybe I did it wrong. 🙁
Good to know. Us Mexicans always want to see black girls….not!
Damn yeah we only like whites and other latinas
speak for yourself
I posted that because someone complained about there not being enough black girls in a now deleted post lol. looks weird out of context
Its interesting on what posts have been deleted. Then other post have been moved around out of context. Kinda funny how you read it now out of context.
You should read more.
Swallow???
Yes. She also works at cheetahs. I see her once a month for FS. She is very popular for a reason.
Who is he referring to that swallows?
lol she told two of my friends 1k, they backed out but holy shit we need a consumer union to stop price gouging lmaooo
The NE cashier lady?
