Dash Coffee and Bakery

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!

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!

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.

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.

The ladies became extremely disrespectful specially the younger lady. When I saw the sandwiches, it was all burnt. When I said it’s burnt, the lady threw the sandwich in front of me and said to the other lady in Urdu, never take any more order over phone! I told them my toddler will eat it in the car, can I get a box please? She rudely said No! I tipped them probably 100 times the price of a paper box!!! Then she intentionally made us standing and served other customers who came after me. I told her can you please help us as we placed to the order over phone to save the time otherwise we will miss my daughters swimming class! She didn’t care! At the end, I asked her name and she said I can’t tell you my name!!!
Will never go there again to experience all the rude and disrespectful behave and burnt sandwiches!!!

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.

❤ 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 👍

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.

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!

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.
