If you're looking for something sweet that's different than your typical latte, you'll find it at Pho Passion and Mintea. The Asian eatery in San Jose specializes in milk tea infused with sweet and fruity flavors. Try the signature Mintea Special, a milk tea flecked with coffee jelly boba and capped with your choice of ice cream. Indulge in the caramel flan iced milk, made with organic milk and caramel flan, plus a sweet version of cream cheese.

The inventive milk tea drinks are just part of the equation at Pho Passion and Mintea. True to its name, the quick-serve restaurant also dishes out bowls of pho. This hearty Vietnamese soup comes loaded with the ingredients of your choice, but regulars highly recommend the All The Way Pho. The noodle soup showcases a mix of brisket, flank, crunchy flank, tendon, and tripe. Other bowls feature chicken, seafood, or veggies instead.
