Trung Nguyen Legend SJ

I went to Trung Nguyen Cafe in San Jose’s Vietnam Town and tried their egg coffee, one of their signature drinks. The place was pretty quiet for a Saturday morning, but I actually liked the calm vibe. Coffee is strong and feels authentic, which is what you’d expect from a well-known Vietnamese coffee brand. I probably should’ve asked for less sugar though, mine was a bit too sweet to my liking. Still enjoyable overall. They have strong wifi and plenty of seating, making this a good spot to hang out or work & study. Definitely a great option if you’re in the area and want a caffeine boost, I highly recommend this place!

The café is clean, bright, and has plenty of seating for both individuals looking to work or chat and groups of friends wanting to hang out. I ordered their signature Vietnamese iced coffee, and it was phenomenal—strong, rich, and perfectly balanced with sweetness and creaminess. It had that bold, smooth flavor Trung Nguyen coffee is famous for, and you could taste the quality in every sip. They also have a great selection of other drinks, including teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees, so there’s something for everyone.

Best outdoor seating! Looks like a jungle. Should be cool in summer. Coffee was strong for my taste

Second visit: Got the Roman iced coffee and blended coconut ice coffee. Don't forget to mix the condensed milk with the coffee before pouring into ice. The Roman coffee is more acidic. The blended coconut ice coffee tastes delicious and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. First visit: Great phin coffee experience at a premium price point. The legendary is the weasel poop coffee which is very chocolatey and smooth. The creative phin is a bit earthier. Don't forget to get it iced because Vietnamese coffee is very concentrated. Their green waffle was uneven with about half of the waffle being too dry (too little batter). They are still working out the kinks for the grand opening so hopefully they will get better.

Nice coffee shop. The coffee we ordered tasted great and it was during their happy hour so we received a free one from purchasing two. We opt for an iceless coffee to bring back home. Coffee was strong but not overly bitter nor sweet. It was a nice blend. They close at 6:45pm on a Sunday so you want to get there on time to place your order. The cashier was friendly explaining all the different types of coffee drinks they had on the menu.
