Dash Coffee and Bakery

Their Kashmiri Chai is the best. Pastries and sweet delights are also very tasty. They have good board games and books to read in the cafe as well.

Place is nice and clean. Food is good and owner is super friendly. The Kashmiri Chai is a must try in this place. Plus free wifi

❤ Love this place and the people who work here. Happy to come back and visit this place. Driving from Sacramento and enjoying our coffee break. Definitely will be back, great customer service 👍

What an incredible place! If you are in the area, looking for great coffee, tasty pastries or sandwiches, and an incredible atmosphere - this place is amazing. The owner is so generous and sweet and we simply love this place!

I came here for the first time yesterday morning with a friend who has been many times. I got a slice of carrot cake, a butterscotch cookie and Kashmiri chai. All were delicious! The cookies are not baked in-house and I'm not sure about the other pastries. The Kashmiri chai didn't have a very chai feel but it was quite good with a lot of pistachios. The shop was heavily decorated due to Valentine's and there is seating outside. The owners were kind - When my friend spilled her matcha latte outside, they immediately offered to make another one. I can't wait to return to try some of their other goodies.

Family run store, made for families 💝 Their Kashmiri Chai is amazing and it comes in a dusted rose pink color. The ones in the picture are iced, but they make it hot too! The Date Bread is also to die for! Moist and dense but not overly sweet. Mild ly spiced with cardamom, you will not be disappointed! Their baklava and other baked goods make perfect gifts! I have friends asking for more of their cookies and cake slices. If you are looking for a quick and quiet place to work, study or chill in the morning and noontime rush, this is the place for you. (And yes..the Bro-ristas here are cute too)👀

Totally worth a try. Really nice and interesting coffee shop. I'd give it about 4.7 stars, so rounding up to 5 for this review. Specific notes: Turkish coffee - really great flavor - I haven't had it in twenty years so I forget the right technique to deal with the dregs at the bottom, but that's on me not them. Can't get this most places, so worth coming to try it at a minimum. Flavor is very mild and interesting - almost like cinnamon. Has lots of coffee grounds in it, so don't be surprised by that if you haven't had this style before. Chocolate croissant - great. A nice balance of flaky and soft. Presentation isn't 100% since the top layer flaked off, but I care about flavor. Chocolate is nice and dark. Baklava - pretty good. I prefer slightly flakier and even less rose, but certainly not bad at all. Avocado toast - good. Large portion. Good bread. I really like the sesame on top. I gave them some feedback to add a bit more lemon/lime, but either way quite good already. Decaf cappuccino - great. Flavor is really nice. Grilled cheese - mix of cheddar and Jack, panini style. Pretty good. Overall, still working out a few logistical kinks (eg having a button to quickly order chocolate croissant instead of 'custom pastry + note), but if you can get past those very minor start up issues, this looks like a great place to go. Owners are super nice and open to feedback. Quality is already very good. And, at least compared to the peninsula, prices are low.

I visited Dash Coffee & Bakery this evening. The new owners asked for an honest review, so here it is 🙂. My daughter ordered the Chicken Bake and Dark Fantasy Cake, while I am partial to the Pistachio Mousse Cake (not exactly sure if that’s the name on the menu). We were given a complimentary Pistachio Cupcake and a Mexican Wedding Cookie to taste test. (We had grabbed Boba tea on the way, therefore didn’t order any tea/coffee). The Chicken Bake looked so good with the toasted sesame on the golden and flakey puff pastry background! My daughter gave a 7/10. It needed some more filling of a creamier consistency in her opinion. The Dark Fantasy Cake was as good as promised. Complex flavors and excellent texture. 9/10! So, in my opinion, the Pistachio Mousse Cake is the actual treat! I’ve never really had anything like it before! It’s my main reason to drive all the way to Dash 😊. It has converted a hard core chocoholic like me to appreciate milder, sweet flavors. If you haven’t tried it, you need to ASAP. 10/10! The Pistachio Cupcake had an interesting flavor but was a bit dense in texture. More like a muffin. Nevertheless it was scrumptious! 8/10 The Mexican Wedding Cookie was buttery, crunchy and light with the right balance of walnuts and powdered sugar coating. 9/10 They are having a Chaand Raat event on May 1st , 8:00pm to Midnight. Flyer attached in the pics. Please go and give these lovely ladies some love and encouragement ❤️! — at Dash Coffee & Bakery.

Have been to Dash several times and each time the coffee and desserts are great. Nice to see an independent business and not another chain. Owner and staff are very nice. Service is excellent and the place is very clean and very relaxing. You have to try their Monkey Mocha. Nice change from your standard Mocha with a banana twist. Prices are also reasonable. My new go to place.

Discovered this place while we were craving for after dinner good cup of coffee. To our delight, this was perfect for what we needed! To top that, refreshing local family run welcoming vibe with chill indoor seating including books to read; board games etc. Great coffee options including turkish coffee! Can't wait to try Kashmiri chai! If you need bites to go along, they have decent quick bites in the menu too (including fresh sandwiches). We didn't get to try that but will definitely in next visit. We did try the sweets options and loved them! Best ever turkish delight candies - rose petals ones a must try!! You can actual taste the earthiness of rose petals; was perfect to go along with our coffee need for the evening! Highly recommended if you are around in the area! Keep up the good ambience!

Had breakfast here on my business trip to Fremont. I typically don’t do breads, but splurged on this delicious croissant with egg and cheese. The coffee was amazing too. Nice place to prepare for my meeting.

Tasty treats. Attentive and patient service with solid personalized recommendations. The Kashmiri Chai was a revelatory experience. How does no one else have it?! Anyhow, I’m sure it’ll be nice to have this place open up fully one day as a local hangout spot. All around very good experience!

Was in the mood for something new. Visited this place in a recommendation and had never been before. Tried the Kashmiri chai “pink drink” hot with 2%. Also added a spinach croissant that had a cheese like substance in there as well. These selections were because I wanted to try something new. I would actually make the drive to have the drink again. I added the pistachio and it was incredible. Must try

Alek Seawright

Wow. The Turkish delights were some of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area, and the Kashmiri Chai was a new experience that I’ll definitely try again. But above all else what really stood out was the kindness and sincerity of the staff. Will be coming back again whenever I’m in Fremont for sure.

Went on a trip and wanted to try something different and found this place on Google reviews. Tried their banana bread. Carrot bread and jasmine chai. The employees are friends and took care of their customers well. They were patient, answered by questions about the chai. Everyone followed the covid guidelines and wore a mask 😷 The Jasmine chai is a must try and tasted like a warm rose milk and to top it off the nuts added to the chai made my experience nice. I enjoyed every sip, it was fresh and refreshing.

Visited this place for a quick coffee with my friends. I had read about their kashmiri Pink tea and wanted to try that. It was nice with the pistachio flavor and rose petals aroma. I could have adjusted little sugar according to my taste buds. When I was checking out something to take out ..the lady in there suggested me about the freshly baked cookies with potatoes in it. I was excited to try it and yes it was good 😊. Would love to go back here again.

The kashmiri pink tea was good, the rose latte was okay it would be better if it had more rose flavor the espresso overpowered the latte. The baklava was good 2 for $4 for decent sized pieces. The red velvet cookie was hard and wasn't good. The pistachio cake was so damn good I wasn't expecting it to be that tasty. If I could buy a whole cake of it I would.

Alrighty so honest review time. I normally come here after pakwan sometimes for a Kashmiri chai. The Kashmiri chai is pretty good, they make it in a hot or cold option. This time I tried the chai. I confirmed with the staff that it was a doodh patti chai. And they said yup it's Desi chai. We placed the order and within 2-3minutes it was ready. I was surprised because to make a proper doodh Patti chai you need like 15/20min for everything to cook properly. The size of the chai was generous and service was great. But the taste of the desi chai was Not good. It was very watery as if it was not cooked in the milk enough. You know that water taste of chai when you get it but it's only like milk was added to it and stirred but not cooked enough till it boils up on top, that's what it tasted like. My recommendation is to let customer know Desi chai will take 15/20min and then do it the regular way where the tea is cooked then later the milk is added then cooked as well then served

This is a nice cafe for breakfast or brunch. I would highly recommend to try Kashmiri chai, Avocado Toast and Turkish delights. They have books to read and board games too!

4 stars for the service and ambience but 2 stars for the coffee so overall 3. Not sure what was wrong but i puked soon after consuming the coffee. Maybe the milk was bad so very bad experience that way.
