Asked for a recommendation for something lowkey sweet, but the strong flavor of coffee. I was recommended the IBB Latte. It was really good, nice balance of sweetness and taste of coffee. This is a place I would come back to if I'm ever in the area. The service was great and the place looks like a good spot to come with your girl or friends and kick it.

The interior is super cute, complete with comfy chairs and lovely artwork. The menu is pretty extensive and has your typical coffee shop offerings in addition to the Yemeni/Turkish coffee items. I'd say the prices feel a little high across the boardI liked the zatar and cheese pastry that I got. The flavors complemented each other well and it was great as a snack.I also got the IBB coffee, iced with oat milk. I wish it had a stronger coffee flavor - it felt pretty diluted by the ice and oat milk. The cardamom flavor was lovely though.

Visited Bae Tea for the first time last weekend & am so happy we did! The store is unassuming from the outside in a little strip mall type area but the inside is so cute & has new decor.Even though it was a little busy when we got there they made our order quickly and the staff was so helpful in answering our questions. We got the Turkish coffee, pistachio latte, & a refresher, alongside 2 of their milk cakes. Everything tasted great, we will absolutely be going back!

No lie their sign was huge and catchy and that's what caught my attention. Here was my experience.AMBIANCE:Parking: Shared parking lot, I didn't have any issues but might depend on the time of day.Seating: Inside seating, good for small groups or pairs.Vibes: Welcome to East Side San Jose. This area is a grit and grind suburban area. It's an eventful area especially since it's close to the Eastridge Mall. The spot itself is pretty neat. You're welcomed with music from Yemen along with photos of the country, they are not shy of taking pride of their culture from the aesthetics to the food/drinks. It's more of a social, lounge, study type of spot.FOOD:Yemeni Chai (Recommend)A good kick like your usual chai, a little creamy that makes it smooth. What makes this stand out is the sweet taste of cardamom (be sure to stir)CUSTOMER SERVICE:Phil was great! Helpful with picking a drink and quick with the order.TL; DR OVERALL:4 Stars. Delicious flavors, great choices, and a pleasant vibe. I had a good time here. I'm pretty new to Yemen culture but I'm looking forward to learn and explore more. Props to the Bae Tea Coffee Team on bringing the first Yemeni coffee shop to San Jose!TIPS:* Bay Tea actually means my home in Arabic

A really nice coffee shop in San jose - with some special Yemeni coffee drinks and Yemeni desserts I got the Yemeni coffee which was excellent - very aromatic and yummy. I just wish they would serve it in a little finjan with a little cup . That would have been perfect . 4.1/5I also tried the pistachio baklava which was ...just ok. I had better . 3.5/5Daughter tried the ube latte and said it was pretty good . 3.9/5I will come back bc the coffee is so unique and hard to find in our area !

_+* Wonderful coffee shop + nice study spot in San Jose! *+_Plaza is somewhat ghetto but you can spot this shop from far away. Plenty of seating + seats are super comfy! Interior is very decorative and shop is very spacious and clean. Worker is super friendly and very accomodating.I ordered their Cookie Butter latte and their Rose milk cake. Both were super delicious and satisfied my caffeine cravings! Rose milk cake was very soft and moist and the Cookie Butter latte wasn't too sweet, so it was just the right blend of coffee + sweetness.I think that this place offers WiFi, but I didn't ask because I used my hotspot instead to study. The place does get a little more crowded at night time. I could study here for hours with noise canceling headphones!I definitely recommend a try!

Bae Tea Coffee has truly exceeded our expectations with its exceptional taste, reasonable prices, and outstanding service. We used to drive all the way to Fremont for Yemeni coffee, but we're thrilled to have found this gem right here in San Jose.My all-time favorites are the pistachio latte and their delicious milk cakes. During our visit, while we were waiting for our order, the server generously offered a complimentary frappe to my 6-year-old, and she couldn't have been happier.I'm so glad this cafe opened nearby, and it's already become a regular spot for us. I'll definitely be coming back every week!

Cute littke cafe with an amazing ambiance. The coffee and tea both taste really good! They also have a amazing dessert menu, everything we tried tasted good. The service is a little slow so make sure you consider that and have enough time when you try this place out!

New coffee shop in SJ! YEMEN specialized at that. I normally drive all the way to Fremont for Yemeni but glad there's something similar here closer to me. The plaza is a bit sketchy but the place really stands out. They touched the places with so designs, there are also plenty of seats.I ordered their pistachio latte with almond milk substitute. It wasn't too sweet at all and was well balanced out. My boyfriend got the IBB coffee with zero sweetness, he liked it because there were notes of cinnamon and chocolate. Black coffee lovers would probably like this. Their desserts all looked really good, I had to try their pistachio milk cake. The milk cake is a bit denser and not as wet compared to the yemeni coffee shop in Fremont. We had a nice chat with the worker there, he's super nice. Definitely recommend a try!

Had a meet up with a couple of my girlfriends and I must say I was a little nervous about this place because of the area but when I walk in all of that went away! The ambiance is pretty cute! Definitely recommend visiting on the less busy days, staff is really nice! The food was tasty! It's worth checking out.
