San Jose, California
Vietnam Town guide: phở, Vietnamese coffee and pastries
Vietnam Town on Story Road is part of San Jose's Little Saigon neighborhood. A first visit can be as simple as a bowl of phở followed by coffee, or a bakery trip with a stop for street food.
The four selections below cover those options. Choose the day around the business you most want to visit, especially if CA Bakehouse is on your list.

Where to start
Pho Ha Noi: phở and a sit down meal
969 Story Road, Unit 6048
Pho Ha Noi's San Jose menu includes beef and chicken phở, with options such as short rib and oxtail. Grilled pork vermicelli and rice dishes give your group choices beyond noodle soup.
The operator's location page lists a weekday break between lunch and dinner. Check the serving schedule if you plan to arrive in midafternoon.
CA Bakehouse: pandan waffles and pastries
979 Story Road, Unit 7066
CA Bakehouse's menu includes green pandan waffles, Portuguese egg tarts and choux pastries in flavors such as kaya, black sesame and ube. Stop for pastries after lunch or choose something to take home.
The bakery's home page lists Friday through Sunday opening days. The green waffle is listed as unavailable for online ordering, so check the schedule and ordering details before making a trip for it.
Trạm Cream Coffee: coffee or a bánh mì break
999 Story Road, Unit 9012
Trạm's Station 2 lists phin brewed coffee, egg coffee and drinks with cream layers. Its bánh mì options include steak, chicken and pork.
Add coffee after your meal, or make a sandwich and drink the whole outing. Use the Station 2 page when checking details so you select the Vietnam Town branch.
Moc Delights: street food and milk tea
969 Story Road, Unit 6033
Moc Delights describes its menu as street food and drinks. Listed options include Banh Trang Ta La, Saigon Bold Coffee and roasted house milk tea.
Choose it for a snack and drink if you want a lighter visit. The operator lists Monday as closed; confirm its business schedule before leaving.
A meal followed by a treat
If CA Bakehouse is your priority, start by checking its opening day. Otherwise, plan around lunch at Pho Ha Noi or a sandwich at Trạm, then leave room for one extra stop: pastries, coffee or street food.
Allow about 90 minutes to two hours for a meal and a second stop. That is an editorial estimate, not a prediction of waits or a mapped walking route. Use the individual unit numbers as you go.
Before you go
Check current menus and schedules through the merchant links. Tell the business about dietary requirements before ordering, and follow posted parking rules. These are selected food and drink stops, not a full plaza directory.
