Kem Coffee and Boba in California

"We've already been fans of Vietnamese coffee, but Kem really kicks things up to another level with their unique flavors and toppings. They do happy hour Mon-Fri from 2pm-5pm so we couldn't pass up this deal. It's buy 2 get 1 free! We tried: Tornado Kem Banana Kem Black Sesame Matcha The Tornado has a fluffy egg foam coating the inside of the cup so you get a nice subtle blend of foam as you drink your coffee. The banana was my favorite- subtle sweet flavor with the rich coffee. The black sesame was so good too though - reminding us of Japanese sweets paired with a nice strong matcha. They do have several tea and coffee options, and you can add boba or jelly and adjust sweetness to your liking. The team here is really helpful and knowledgeable about the drinks, so they helped us make the best choices for our cravings. We already want to go back to try more flavors."

"If you love Vietnamese coffee and boba drinks then this is the spot for you. Located inside Chan Dong Market, Kem Coffee and Boba is a must try spot for all boba lovers. My fav was Kem Ube Coffee and Spirit Kiwi Butterfly. The staff is so friendly and efficient too."

"This has been my go to place for Vietnamese coffee! I had to order all my friends some of these delicious drinks, it is that delicious. My favorite is the blended coconut. They have a great variety of drink flavors and toppings. There was plenty of parking and made the drinks quickly. The staff working was very friendly and helpful for questions with what came in the drinks!"

"I stopped by this spot after finding it online, and I’m so glad I did! I wanted to try a new boba place and ended up getting a Vietnamese coffee with ube topping and one of their specialty drinks — both were amazing! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their drinks!"

"The egg kem coffee was amazing!! Lots of good stuff in the store it's found in as well. All in all great hidden gem."

"I first discovered this coffee shop when I moved to National City, it’s two blocks away from my place hidden inside the oriental market. Ken coffee has a variety of Vietnamese coffee also along with boba drinks and so on. The barista there are welcoming and have great customer service and are very helpful. While you’re waiting for your coffee you can shop around the store and get yourself some unique Asian snacks/food. This has become my favorite coffee shop and I recommend stopping to check it out."

"I love Vietnamese egg coffee, it's hard to come by, so this was a definite order when I arrived. I've tried the egg coffee, pandan coffee, ube monster, Wizard of Oz, and matcha tornado. The Ube Monster was so full of flavor, I couldn't stop drinking it. The egg coffee brought my back to Hanoi, it was sooo delicious. I love how they have oat milk options and you can customize the level of sweetness. The staff was so kind and very efficient. It's located inside an Asian market, so you can stock up on your favorites when picking up your drinks."

"Nice little coffee spot in the back of a mini market-which has shelves packed with Asian snacks drinks and a multitude of ingredients. If you like flavored coffee or teas with or without boba. Not as pricey as other boba/coffee/tea places either. Especially with their “Happy Hours” 2:00-5:00 buy 2 get 1 freeeee! Can’t beat it! Barista was a friendly chap!"
