A locally owned cafe that\u2019s been drawing lines for its matcha drinks, lattes and other specialties is holding a grand opening today for its new Sunnyvale location.<\/p>\n
Business partners Trinh Wong and Jeff Vo launched Arisan Tea & Coffee two years ago on Story Road in San Jose\u2019s Vietnam Town.<\/p>\n
The cafe\u2019s name is \u201cinspired by Mt. Ari (Alishan) in Taiwan, a famous high-mountain tea region known for producing some of the finest teas in the world,\u201d Wong explained. \u201cMany of the premium teas we serve today come from Taiwan, and the name reflects our passion for exceptional tea quality and craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Besides the teas, they\u2019ve been sourcing ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha and Vietnamese coffee and pairing those drinks with desserts baked inhouse. The bakery case is filled with sweets including Sweet Corn Cake, Strawberry Cream Choux and Tiramisu Cake.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany guests regularly drive across the Bay Area\u201d to Arisan, Wong said, so she and her partner decided to look for a second location. The new cafe is located on El Camino Real, across from the Domain Hotel.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s grand opening features BOGO drinks all day, until 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
