I like that they allow you to customize your che. Choose coconut milk or coconut water. 3 bases (such as diff kinds of beans or Taro or lotus seeds) and choose 3 toppings (suong sa hot lieu, chia seeds, pandan jelly etc). Ranges from $5.50-$6.50 depending if you choose coconut milk or water. Really liked it!

Dessert was ok. Service could be have been a little better. I asked which was the popular dessert and the lady just told me to look at the menu.

Nice look but the taste doesn’t match the look. In other word, the taste is not very good. The Che Thai I only drank 1/3 of it, nothing impressive and got tired of it very soon. Matcha Lava Latte was too sweet and for the matcha in terms of smell and taste both failed. Pink Dragon got some nice fruit and is the only ok drink in the order.

They were very rude. I asked the girl about something on the menu and she said if you want to know what it tastes like you should buy it.

Its mostly the same as the Bambu that it used to be. Im convinced theyll give less coffee in the Vietnamese Coffee, but its still one of the strongest around! 🤩 The avocado smash (or whatever its called now) is still the bomb! 💣

Great fast service, with more than reasonable prices. Be sure to check out their com say and 3 bean drink. Their comsay is always nice and crisp, with just the right amount of sweet salty and spicy. Their 3 bean drink is somehow refreshing and filling at the same time.

Popular Vietnamese chain dessert/tea place. Their dessert items are pretty good if you like something chewy (for example, pearls). Serving time is fast and price is reasonable.

Make sure you bring cash.Their specialty is using coconut as a main ingredient in their drinks.Check out the Bambu special.Its pretty small inside with tables for two people. Dont expect to accommodate a large group of friends for a hang out.

Good variety of drinks and desserts. Watch out - if you pay with credit card, they charge you a 59 cents service fee, which is totally illegal.

Review №23

Minimum $10 for credit card. The strawberry ice tea and mango smoothie are terribly sweet. Its hard to see the strawberries and mango meat inside the drinks. I guess thats why they asked you to add the (free) toppings.

Review №28

Extremely disappointed with this location. It was my first time trying a boba tea and the young lady behind the counter seemed very impatient and annoyed. I felt rushed and ended up ordering a strawberry milk tea. This was probably the worst drink I have ever had. The tea was very bitter, the strawberries tasted rotten which made the whole drink sour. They tried to mask the spoiled taste by over sweetening it. Do not order anything from this place. You will just end up throwing your drink and your money away.

Drinks here are pretty good but they are often out of things on their menu. This place is also cash only, which, for a coffee shop in this day and age in Silicon Valley, seems odd.

The coffee here is very gross and tastes like cigarettes have been ashed out in it.... Their boba tea is overwhelmingly sweet and tapiocas taste mushy rather than chew

Review №37

I had never heard of chè before coming to Bambu. A friend and I had some time to kill at Cupertino Village and we decided to get something sweet to drink/eat while we waited for some friends.Since I wasnt familiar with what they had to offer, I asked one of the people working at Bambu to make whatever they liked. His face lit up when I asked him that and he proceeded to enthusiastically make me his custom drink. A drink that isnt on the menu. He explained that he used to make this daily when he first started working there.I ended up with an amazing combination of jellies, slush, coconut juice, fruits and boba. It was a refreshing desert and perfect for the hot weather. Im definitely coming here again.
