V Cafe - San Jose

Nice to know everything is vegan and not have to worry

I’ve gone here for years and am never disappointed. The vegan shrimp is wonderful!

Update Jan 2023: still fun for vegan junk food snacks, but boba drinks have not been great quality. Despite wanting to support all-vegan business, for drinks I have to recommend going next door to Bambu. —— Located in a strip mall which seemed to have all Asian shops (including several other boba tea cafes), Happiness Cafe is a pretty typical boba shop except that they are all vegan! They have an ice cream case with 8 flavors you can order as scoops or milkshakes, a medium-sized menu of snack foods (mostly unhealthy), and a few sweets including cake and Chinese desserts. That in addition to the boba drinks which is a pretty basic/standard menu. When we visited, the pearls were a little bit hard on our drinks, but that can happen sometimes. The avocado roll was delicious. It was actually hard to find a parking spot despite the large parking lot as many people were there Saturday evening. I thought it was slightly overpriced for the quality but it was consistent with usual boba cafes. I would go back as it's exciting to see all-vegan specialty businesses!

We found this place for lunch on HappyCow! We had the Happiness over rice and Passion fruit green tea! The owner was friendly with us. And the food was quite delicious! We even grabbed a candy bar to go! It was a vegan version of a mounds bar! We should have tried the other varieties as well!

Not a big boba drinker so wasn’t so excited about the vegan boba but when I saw they had noodle soup, something I loved to eat before going vegan, I knew I had to try it. The broth was flavorful and had lots of noodles veggies and the mock meat was very close to what I’ve had before.
