"I went to BaeTea with my wife and kid to check it out since I was in the area and enjoy trying Yemeni cafes. At first, just from the outside, it was largely unimpressive, simple, due to how it was situated location-wise. In my mind, I was comparing it to other Yemeni cafes I’ve been to, so I tried to put my bias aside as I walked in. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of the place, it’s obvious the owner spent a lot of money making the inside look nice. I did feel bad for the only worker behind the counter, who was making drinks, taking orders, and serving guests all at once, that didn’t sit right with me. The drinks themselves were presented nicely, but I would give them an average rating compared to other places I’ve tried. We had the Ube Latte and the Cookie Something Latte (forgot the exact name). I enjoyed sitting there and the music, the design of the wall, the map of Yemen, beautiful! And the drink as I said weren’t all so life changly impressive but I could see my self being a regular here if I was a local of that area."

"Bae Tea Cafe is such a hidden gem in San Jose! I absolutely loved the cozy, aesthetic vibe of this place — it’s beautifully designed with Arabian-inspired decor and plenty of comfortable seating. I tried their Turkish Coffee, the IBB Specialty Coffee infused with cardamom and cinnamon, and their new Tiramisu Cold Coffee (loved more)— all so rich and flavorful! Their desserts are just as amazing — the Pistachio Milk Cake was soft and nutty, and the Snicker Cheesecake was perfectly indulgent. I also had the Bee Bite drizzled with honey and some of their fresh baked breads — everything was delicious and thoughtfully presented. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re into unique drinks, sweet treats, and chill vibes. Can’t wait to go back and try more! 🙌💛"

"This was my first time and I really loved their ambience and service. It’s a cozy shop but it has the vibe of its origin. We got Yemeni chai and lotus cake. The tea was really good, refreshing and felt like homemade. The cake was soft and soothing and not too sweet. Overall I loved their food and service and I’ll be back to try more."

"Stepping into Bae Tea Coffee on a cool San Jose afternoon, we found ourselves wrapped in the gentle buzz of laughter, cardamom, and sunlight streaming through wide windows. The café balances cozy comfort with vibrant Middle Eastern touches—colorful Yemeni art along the walls, soft, relaxed seating, and the quiet backdrop of Yemeni music giving every corner a cheerful, homey vibe. Whether you come early for quiet or as the evening crowd builds, the space never feels rushed. There’s just this mellow energy inviting you to linger, chat, or simply daydream as the staff glide by, always ready with a friendly suggestion or just checking in. Our table quickly became a little world of flavors. The Yemeni Chai came first, cradled warmly in a glass teapot—flames flickering beneath and every pour letting loose that familiar cardamom aroma, comforting and nostalgic for anyone who’s grown up with chai. Conversation flowed and we lingered, one warm sip at a time. Curiosity sparked—a Turkish Coffee for me, bold and dark with cardamom swirling on top. If you wonder about bitterness, just add a bite of their flaky, sweet baklava. The magic is in the contrast: syrupy pastry mellowing the strong brew, every bite and sip a little game of harmony and surprise. Turkish Delights landed to the delight of my daughter, who immediately claimed the Chocolate & Cream as her favorite—soft, creamy, gone in a flash (absolute kid-approval). She spent the next half hour happily working through her Maui Refresher, digging into the slow-melting ice and enjoying its frosty, fruity freshness. For kids (or anyone needing a break from coffee), it’s a definite must-order. Meanwhile, my wife sipped on a Tiramisu Latte—sweet, gently layered with coffee, frothy and soft. She smiled after every sip, the kind of look that says, “this one’s all mine.” Even as more people streamed in, talking in low voices as dusk set in, the café never lost its relaxed vibe. Staff continued to pause for a quick chat, making sure everyone felt at home. It’s the sort of place where time seems to slow—where flavors, stories, and people naturally come together."

"It’s totally new experience. Great coffee. The coffee shop clean, nice decorated, good Vibe. Friendly staff. Easy parking. Unique style. Comfortable and relaxing."
