LuvCafe — Restaurant in San Jose

We stopped by for coffee before starting on an 8 hour road trip. Imagine our surprise when we walked in and saw the following: nearly 60 men seated throughout the “cafe” drinking beer, chain smoking, and watching sports (and maybe some other stuff) + only two girls working and they were clad in bikinis. Now WE were just looking for coffee, and we got 3 orders of Vietnamese Coffee to-go. The prices are reasonable, the girls are pretty, and the orders were prepared speedily.

Obviously, my group of early 20s aged people (3 guys, 2 girls) did NOT fit into the crowd. I respect what the establishment is putting out there for the vibe, but we felt pretty unwelcome unfortunately :( We were already getting side-eyed by pretty much all of the older Asian exclusively-male crowd, but we also received subpar service from one of the girls working (she spoke with attitude and literally walked away when one of us asked her a question about the menu). The other girl was SUPER nice though, and I think she understood that we were literally only looking for coffee so BLESS YOU SO MUCH for not making an already awkward situation more awkward and just treating us like normal patrons.

Anyways, the coffee is actually pretty good, very strong of course, and reasonably priced. I probably won’t come again, but it’s not because of the quality of the food… I’m just not their target...

First timer from MN. I been following the Luv Cafe in Instagram since the pandemic era. Since I recently became a bachelor again, I decided to go check it out Saturday June 17. Planned on being there for 90 minutes I was there for 7 hours! That's how good it was. Also all thoughts of me quitting women forever, becoming a buddhist monk vanished at hello when I got greeted by the Hoa girls walking at the door. So much Luv in the air. I had so much fun thanks to good conversations. I ended up eating for 5 cuz the food was good. I uploaded my receipts, prices are very good. This place will change you. You walk in a bitter man, you'll walk out in love and possibly wanting a Vietnamese wife. They make a man wanna learn how to speak Vietnamese. I guess that's why it's called the Luv Cafe. Nothing beats good eye candy, good food and music. Depending if you're lucky or not the staff may call you "Anh Oi". According to Google it's how you address a husband, boyfriend, or someone older in Vietnamese. It's an endearing way of calling for someone such as "sweetie" or "honey".

Check it out for yourself. You...

Update to my previous review. It’s my 3rd time stopping by the Luv Cafe in a rolling 12 month period. I love coming to Luv as it’s my preferred “hooters of boba.” whenever I visit San Jose. Luv the owner hires the best in town. The sassy but classy types unlike her competitors. Just total babes. They are the girls your mama warned you about. 🔥😈

Today my server was Kathy and she is the perfect blend of Vietnamese spice. Your typical angel face, devil thoughts Viet girl. I felt the powerful sexy vibes radiating. The Viet in her is strong. Almost fell in love after 3 secs of locking eyes but good thing I I knew better to look away before it was too late. You have been warned. 😜

5 stars once again. The experience is always a fun time if you have Vietnamese fever. Donna is cool, she’s becoming more Vietnamese by the day. I might come back tomorrow to see Lucy because I think she debuts...
