Ordered a black sesame cream coffee... the cream was so thick when I tried to drink from the spout, I only inhaled the cinnamon powder on top. The coffee had no chance of penetrating the cream. I tried to use a straw to stir it and even the straw cracked and made a hole. Also, nowhere does it mention the cream is salty? I ended up getting another straw to just sip the iced coffee on the bottom. I could have just ordered a regular iced coffee at that point. Coffee itself was decent, but not for the price we paid.

Got the egg cream viet iced coffee. I got 50% condensed milk even though they recommend 100%. It was fantastic and the perfect sweetness level. The egg cream was thick and also sweet with a subtle egg tart like flavor. I’m definitely coming back and getting a large ;)

Small cafe but excellent Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk (Vietnamese milk coffee on menu.) The drink was so pleasant and satisfying I had to write a review after trying it once. I typically enjoy the full-bodied taste of La Colombe-based espresso drinks like those at Lulu & Dino's. However the Vietnamese milk coffee here surpasses it by a wide margin. Smooth notes of caramel which are more European than American compliment the sweetness that is perfectly curated. I was indescribably comforted as I drank this during an early morning drive in the brisk fall weather. If I wasn't in a rush, I would have stayed longer to sip the coffee and admire the evocative photos of Vietnam arranged on the cafe's wall.

Honestly, I love coffee and this place is my go-to spot if I want to have good coffee. I've been here almost every week or so. I won't lie the prices are definitely on the more expensive side. But these are the type of drinks you can take your time with because most of them have a thick layer of cream on top, where you can wait for it to slowly melt into your coffee. It helps enhance the taste, but they also have regular coffee if you don't want a cream later on top. Also, the place is small, so the workers are quick with making the drinks. Aside from the prices, this place is a 4.5/5 in my book. If not for the price, I'd go every day if I could.

Great spot for Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese condensed milk tea coffee was so good. 50% sugar was sufficient for me. Unfortunately i feel the ice ratio is way too high, but it does help dilute overtime if the coffee taste is too strong for you. The egg cream coffee is good, but also the same issue with way too much ice (half the cup at least). It’s difficult to drink the cream. Minimal sit down spots inside, but it’s clean with modern decor.
whenever i visit new york, i always come here for their vietnamese coffee. the place is a short walk from the hotel that i stay at so it’s super easy to grab one in the morning. i think i’ve probably tried all their vietnamese coffee flavors. the coffee is rich and strong and can sometimes overpower the flavored foam. even so, it’s been my favorite place to get vietnamese coffee. i’ve yet to find one that makes them just as well in chicago

I ordered a matcha with coconut pieces drink and I definitely will be coming back to buy the same drink again! There isn’t much seating available but the overall atmosphere is peaceful and quiet with some chill lo fi music playing in the background.

Found this lovely place next to our hotel and decided to give it a try. We loved it! The hot milk coffee is strong and sweet (you can adjust the sweetness level), and the cold ube cream coffee was a quick favorite of mine.
It quickly became a habit to stop in every morning of our trip. Not just for the tasty caffeine fix, but also because we appreciated the genuine kindness of the employees. Every person we talked to was helpful and friendly despite our inexperience with Vietnamese coffee, and really started our day out well.
