Come here often for the coffee, definitely a must visit but finding that the wait time is still pretty slow for 2 coffees took a bit over 10 mins.

The cappuccino was disappointing — the milk was overheated/boiled, and the foam looked like soapy bubbles. Inside the place is cozy, clean, and nice. But I do not recommend the cappuccino at all — it’s not worth the price.

Cool cafe specializing in Vietnamese coffee and drinks. The classic Vietnamese iced coffee was flavourful, and the egg coffee was great as well. Atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink.

Found this coffee house today while visiting Calgary (close to the hotel, and across the way from the shopping center) - The style of the coffee shop is very niche, beautiful. The server was so friendly and kind and helpful! They serve Vietnamese Coffee. My boyf loved his iced coffee and I loved the iced salted coffee (sweet, salted whipped foam - tasted similar to salted caramel that you mix into your ice coffee). Lovely!

Sizes are minuscule compared to the price, these are each medium both totalling $15. I then asked for a cup of water and they tried to charge me 50 cents.

I had the coconut coffee. Delicious. The menu is influenced by Vietnamese cuisine. Very nice. Very international which I love.

This is the only place I go to when I miss cafes in Asia. The price is fair and the location is good. The ambience is on point. The coffee is really good plus their breads and pastries. I always get their coconut coffee!! This is my go to cafe once a week. Much recommended! ❤️
Having travelled all through Vietnam and desperately searching for a comparable Vietnamese coffee place elsewhere in the world, this brings back memories through AUTHENTIC Vietnamese coffee and snacks. The service was 10/10, the atmosphere is 10/10, and the coffee and snacks are 11/10. We ordered a morning coffee, a salted coffee, and a sesame donut. All were absolutely delicious and identical to what we experienced in Vietnam! Just disappointed we didn't come here sooner!

We tried the salty coffee and egg coffee. Both are amazing, but the price is a bit outrageous.

First time visit to this location. Xom Chao had the Vietnamese cafe ambiance down pat 👌 🇻🇳 (yes I have travelled to Vietnam and experienced many cafe's there). Staff was not bilingual in Viet but no issues (wife if more comfortable in speaking Viet - so I ordered instead) very friendly service. We ordered the ca phe sua da (staff asked us if we wanted the morning brew or afternoon brew style. Difference is the amount of caffeine. We ordered the afternoon brew which has less caffeine (I know that may seem sacrilegious for an OG ca phe sua da but my wife and I didn't want to be amped up too early in the day 😏). Taste was spot on 👏 would definitely order from here again.

I’ve been here twice now and here are my thoughts.
Service- the service was great, the girl at the front explained all the different coffees when I asked. I think they should add the details on the board so I wouldn’t have to ask or have the details of each coffee written on the cash desk. I feel like a nuisance asking about every drink. The lady who gave me my coffee wanted to insure it wasn’t too strong before I left, which it wasn’t, but I appreciate the service of asking.
Drink - I got the salted iced coffee and honestly the flavour was amazing. The coffee flavour itself was one of the best I’ve had for viet coffees.
The reason for my 3 star is simply the price point and size. The 16oz barely made it to the rim of my cup and with the salted cream at the top it felt like it took away more coffee. I used a straw and could barely get any ships because there was so much ice (I don’t mind the ice but where was all the coffee?) Then with the cream and ice and it seemed like there was barely any liquid.
All for the price of $8.66! Ouch.
I hate to say it but this is why places like Starbucks are still in business. I can get a coffee three times the size for $6.50. I realize this is a small local coffee shop and I honestly don’t mind spending the money but the over priced and the small size I personally can’t justify.
It’s not to say I’ll never be back but I definitely won’t consider it as much as I do with Starbucks.
I’m writing this review as an honest constructive criticism and hoping they will consider some adjustments in sizes.

Went here with my friends and tired their egg coffee. It was delicious, creamy quick and very reasonably priced.
Place is very cute, cozy and modern. Nice place to hangout with your friends and catch up. Service also was 10/10
They also offered a complimentary veggie soup at the time. It was delicious. Above beyond what I expected. Especially for a free soup.
