Latest Ranking – Cà Phê

Click here for Quan Nhau

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.

  1. Wtf!!! I was at NE today. I walked up to pay and the lady told me, next time 1 hour limit.

    I told the lady, no next time for me.

    1. yeah… I kinda stopped going less often to NE when it was becoming more a thing of pay for 1 more drink or get out even if CQ Tiffany Jessica Nam are still there.

      EQ or Fantasy depending on how I feel these days for me.

    2. From a business stand point, it is a good idea to ask customers to stay only 1 hour unless customers buy more drinks.
      I have been to coffee shops and some of the customers stay there for 3 or 4 hours. They need to make room for other customers. It is about turn over of customers.

      1. If they really cared about maintaining business, they would at least tidy up the place and get rid of those big ass spider webs in the corner by the damn TV

    3. Customer at Starbucks: “Wanhh! I just want to buy a cup of hot water and a teabag, so I can sit here for 3 hours watching a movie on my laptop. I’m not coming back here!!!” Starbucks: “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out”.

  2. NE has a 1 hour limit per drink. Enforced by the boss lady with glasses even if you are tipping. I’m no longer going to give my business to NE.

    1. Dtrump Did you stop giving Tiffany big tips and supporting her with large amounts of money. Then she reported you to the boss. Now your on the shit list.

      1. Bro Tiffany is overrated and not pretty. You cucks should stop giving her money and head elsewhere

        1. Overrated maybe, but I think to say she is not pretty is a bit of a stretch especially when comparing her to the other girls there. My 2 cents.

  3. NE has a one hour time limit before they ask you to buy another drink or leave. Even if you are tipping the servers. The boss lady with glasses really is mean to the cash only paying customers. I’m no longer going to NE. I’d like to hear what others feel how the boss lady runs the business.

    NE tiene un límite de tiempo de una hora antes de que te pidan que compres otra bebida o te vayas. Incluso si está dando propina a los servidores. La jefa con gafas realmente es mala con los clientes que trabajan duro en efectivo y solo pagan. Ya no iré a NE e iré a EQ y DV.

      1. I didn’t see her there this morning, and she normally comes to find me.
        Boss Lady told me she went to LA to see family for Mother’s Day.

        1. Ok. Somebody said she with her grandpa sugar daddy for vacation

        1. ohh I see thanks. so is someone else called vixen now since there both on the list?

        2. wow I wonder why she rebranded let alone to another girls name lol

        3. Nicole and vixen are 2 different girls both tall white fake blondes but not the same

        4. the same Vixen who was let go from Cheetahs for giving extras behind the club?

        5. she prolly gonna get fired from NE too from what I heard she’s still selling extras lmao

        6. she is the only one I have seen kissing customers. hope she stays.

        7. I was at cheetahs last night vixen was working. someone did confirm that she got caught with a dick in her mouth tho lol but I guess they don’t fire you for that over there after all

      1. Usually people say they goto LuvCafe because the owner is hot. I checked out the owner, the EQ girls are hotter than her. At EQ there’s 11 girls all hot. At LuvCafe, only the owner, but she’s never working. And her kitty is not shaved.

        1. Very different establishments. One offers shaking beef, the other offers shaking booty.

        2. EQ is more like a gentleman’s club.
          LuvCafe is more like an expensive Starbucks.
          Fantasy is more like a Vietnamese coffee shop with hot babes and good food.

        3. Hi Mikeng, still new at this, and I’m truly curious:
          What is the essential “Vietnamese-ness” that Fantasy has that LuvCafe does not?

  4. Here are the prices for NE
    Sit with you -$5
    Sit with you (pasties) -$3
    Lap dance $10
    Lap dance (pasties) -$5

    There are no extras so stop asking.
    Thanks
    -management-

  5. @Jusnito The only way this secret phrase is going to work is if your homie sucks your dick then trade. This message board is getting less useful every day with all the bs.

  6. Would you guys stop about extras from these places. It doesn’t happen and your fake news is going to ruin it for everyone. Just go get your coffee and enjoy the sites of a beautiful server. That’s it. btw…the Mexican names don’t fool anyone.

    1. lol this fkn guy. For the record FBI CIA NSA TSA DHS SJPD everything I have ever said or will ever say on this message board is SATIRE. I am writing a movie script about coffee shop girls that trade sex for money, no representation is being made by my posts of any kind. any resemblance to any individual reap or fictitious in my posts is pure coincidence!!

  7. Ok I tried the secret phrase at DV. You have to say it to the mamasan by the register and she will ask you which girl. Then you sit down and the girl will go to you. Totally worth it.

  8. Is Amber at EQ today or does she work tomorrow? Will be making a trip if she is
