Local Cafe is a Chinese cafe on Hollenbeck in Cupertino. Authentic, central, and tasty.
The service of Local Cafe was subpar the servers were not attentive at all and there was no polite conversation or any smiles which made annoyed the ambiance of Local Cafe was nice with lots of seating and a cool orange vibe with lots of posters on the wall.
The food of Local Cafe was BOMBB. We got the YangZhou Fried Rice which was fried rice with ham and shrimp. We also got the Three Combo Meat Stir Fried Rice Stick Noodle. I don’t know why the name is so long, but it was a delicious dish! The fried rice had loads of shrimp and ham in it. Both dishes were a little greasy but they were still both delicious. They both had loads of meat. They were also very fresh and hot. The fried rice had some veggies and scrambled eggs mixed in and the rice was very loose making the dish even tastier. The noodles were very tiny and there was t an overwhelming amount of cabbage and onions like usual with noodle dishes. The ham tasted like Spam and was very savory and it complimented the subtle shrimp very well.
Overall, although Local Cafe did not have adequate service it still had a nice ambiance and very tasty food. I would definitely come to Local Cafe for a quick fix and for some cheap food. For its affordability and tasty dishes I recommend Local Cafe to others!

Authentic “cha chaan teng” with great food. The milk tea is solid and make sure to ask for less sugar if you don’t like extra sweet milk tea.

Everything was fine until the cashier and the waiter started to complain about the tips for being low. And I don't know why giving 10% tip is not enough for them. I know this is the U.S., but it's still optional for the customers whether they want to give or not. It's so rude to curse and swear with Chinese language smh ...

tasty! Super delicious! It’s so delicious that you won’t be able to drink it back in Taiwan? It’s equally delicious to take out or use inside. I really miss milk tea, soybean sprouts, rice noodles and fried rice... Explosive??

Overall, it's okay. I just didn't feel like I was a fan of it. But it's not that delicious. It's a plus point that it's open until midnight. It's unacceptable that the store clerk smoked outside and opened the door.
I recommend the Hong Kong French toast, was really good and crunchy ? - the rest of the dishes I had were alright

Beef chow fun was pretty good. Salt & pepper tofu, and salt and pepper chicken wings tasted unseasoned like there wasn't much salt on it. Green onion chicken over rice was just okay. Rice was dry. Not much meat on the chicken pieces I was given.

The fish in porridge was a little bit fishy. Other dishes might be better. Furnitures are worn out and dusty, I hope the owner will replace them.

Local Hong Kong street food worth to try, I like honey lemon drink and sweet peanut butter sandwich.
