Crema's Take

Tram Cream Coffee 2 brings creative Vietnamese-inspired drinks to San Jose's Vietnam Town, with standouts like their Matcha Cream Coffee and signature VIP egg coffee with coffee jelly that clearly excite repeat visitors. The efficient dual-ordering system (traditional counter or self-service kiosk) keeps things moving, and the staff brings genuine warmth to the experience—though you'll want to know upfront that their drinks trend heavy on ice, so asking for less is the move if you want more actual beverage in your cup. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where friends recommend it for good reason, offering distinctive flavor combinations that go beyond standard coffee shop fare.

I ordered the Matcha Cream Coffee and it was okay. Service was fairly quick. You order in one line or there is a self service machine to order from and you pickup in another area. The drink was nice looking, but the flavor wasn't my cup of tea IMHO. Check it out and make up your own mind. It was busy.

⭐☆☆☆☆ I gave 1 star because they’ve started filling their cups much less and putting way too much ice in past 3-4 times I got the drink. You end up with less than half a cup of actual drink to enjoy. I’ve been a loyal customer for the past couple of years and always loved the taste of their drinks ( VIP ), but it’s really disappointing to see them start shortchanging customers like this. I’ll gladly update my review if they start filling the cups properly again and add a “less ice” option.

The people working there were extremely nice but what I wish I knew before ordering is that you always should order with ice and that they add too much ice. 1. I ordered the Lychee Tea Large (as seen by my cup) and asked for No Ice. They basically only filled it halfway which is the size of the Small cup. They still gave me the Large Cup because they assumed I would add ice to it later. The staff said it was super sweet so I asked for 50% sugar and it was still too sweet because it was clearly meant to have ice added to it. I wish that it was more clear that it was more of a syrup than a refresher tea. 2. We also ordered the VIP which was pretty good but again, a lot of ice. The photo shown was the drink after not being able to get anything out of the straw anymore because it was still full of ice. 3. All the coffee is sold iced so can’t ask for anything hot. The staff told me that the closest they can do is the Creamy Ha Noi because with no ice, it would be lukewarm. So I ordered it, but turns out it was a traditional macchiato style drink without the ice. But they didn’t have a proper shot cup so it was basically the espresso and the toppings stuck to the bottom of a plastic 12 oz cup. We ended up asking for ice and water to be able to drink it. Don’t have the picture for that for that unfortunately! It would have been nice for them to have told me more about the drink (or have that information on the menu) for the Lychee drink and the Creamy Ha Noi when I was ordering. But either way, they put a lot of ice in the drinks. Also the acoustics of the place amplify the sound so it’s a bit loud in the “echoing” kind of way. Plenty of seating and cute aesthetic.

Good vibe! Good drink ! I ordered less sweet. The VIP coffee - which is the egg Viet coffee with coffee jelly tastes really good! But seriously!? It’s like 80% of ice and my straw cannot get thru the bottom to drink my coffee jelly! It’s definitely not worth an almost $9 dollar! Same with the avocado milk tea! It looks huge but also 80% of ice in the cup!

We visited this place because our friends had recommended it, and since we were in Vietnam Town, we thought we might as well give it a try. We ordered their coffees for takeaway. One order of egg coffee was okay, but I didn’t have any sleep issues even though I drank it at 2 pm. The coffee wasn’t strong enough for me, though. The other order was their VIP coffee, but I didn’t like how much liquid they poured in the glass compared to the size of the glass.
