US Soypresso, 547 S Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95128
According to Yelp (which may or may not be accurate), US Soypresso is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays – and only for 3 to 4 hours on those days. It’s not the most convenient place to visit but I’m glad I was able to check it out. It didn’t look like a retail storefront but a place where people are busy making organic soy milk, tofu pudding, and tofu from scratch.
Soypresso started in Taiwan where it has 4 or 5 outlets. They opened the US location in San Jose with hopes to expand to SF and Los Angeles. The pandemic put those plans on hold. They specialize in producing the best, richest, organic soy milk using all natural ingredients. They also have a unique process for making soy milk which involves a machine that was described to me as an espresso like machine only for soy beans.
A variety of soy milk flavors are offered, such as matcha, black sesame, almond, rose, cocoa, black rice, adzuki, and cucumber. They were very generous with their samples.
Plain soy milk (Small $4.50, Large $9.50): This one has no sugar and it’s pure soybean goodness. The texture is noticeably thicker and the soy milk tastes richer than the typical soy milk.
Matcha soy milk (Small, $5): Thick, creamy soy milk with matcha. The matcha flavor wasn’t super strong so you could taste matcha and soy bean. It was lightly sweetened.
I love this place and I’m hoping they open in Los Angeles!
