Cafe Tapioca & Donuts
1581 Sycamore Ave, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Richmond, this revamped café is a delightful surprise that goes far beyond its donut shop appearance, serving up standout Vietnamese iced coffee that'll keep you wired and fresh pastries that rotate throughout the day. The crew clearly puts real care into their work—from silky smoothie blends (strawberry banana devotees are in for a treat) to creative breakfast sandwiches and bánh mì that make mornings worth getting up for, all anchored by a solid cold brew and specialty drink lineup. It's the kind of hidden gem where you pop in thinking you know what you're getting and leave discovering a whole world of flavors.”

Good coffee, awesome smoothies( my favorite is the strawberry and banana) real, fresh, and delicious donuts all the time. Also, try the different breakfast sandwiches. Your tummy will appreciate it. And a lucky spot to play and win California Lottery
We placed an online order and when we arrived for pick up, they were closed. It just so happened that the owner was sitting in vehicle out front. It was mentioned they closed early due to a party. The owner got out of their vehicle, opened the cafe back up, went inside and made the drink we ordered, plus gave us free donuts!! What great service and very pleasant!! I will continue to give my business to Cafe Tapioca and tell friends to do the same!!
This place is such a hidden gem. I thought it was a just a donut shop but they have so many boba and coffee and breakfast/lunch options. I tried this Vietnamese coffee and honestly it was probably one of the best iced coffees I’ve tried in my 21 years of life I’m not even exaggerating lmao. The perfect amount of sweetness - I asked for less sweet but is also strong to give you energy for the day. The guy who helped me was super friendly and patient. If I could I would come buy their viet iced coffee every morning … Definitely would love to come back to try their banh mi and other drink options and I recommend for anyone wanting to try a new coffee shop or if you wanna try Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time!!
Revamped Cafe with new menu items and beverages. This is the only place nearby I would grab Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Much caffeinated and keeps me awake during my day. I enjoyed eating their bahn mhi sandwiches, BBQ Pork is delicious. Service is friendly. Little less seating to provide but its a quick stop to grab n go. Definitely try their vietnamese iced coffee! This is my 5th time hahah.
Love this sweet tooth oasis. Fresh awesome selection of my favorite doughnuts all day long. This is my go-to sweet tooth fix. It's a must do!! No regrets.
