I tried this place for the first time today. Relatively cheap banh mi, it was a large portion and delicious tea concoctions. I got the onion tofu bahn mi with extra veggies and a black sesame chai. Everything was delicious, I used to live in the area and wish this place was here when I was in the neighborhood. But alas I will have to travel just a little further to come back here. Can't wait to try more items from here.

Lovely cafe space and friendly staff. My chai was excellent. My Bahn Mi, unfortunately, was pretty disappointing, bread was very soft, possibly to the point of being undercooked, but also old and stale tasting. The fillings were fine, but the bread really brought down the sandwich, and I finished less than half. Seems like there is a quality control or ingredient timing issue, because coffee I had later was very weak.

We were visiting Portland briefly and Portland Cà Phê came highly recommended for their authentic Vietnamese coffee and bahn mi. Cà Phê Sũa is one of my favorite beverages, so I was very excited to try it here! Sadly, I’m not sure what the process is for making it at Portland Cà Phê, but I was really disappointed to find it very watery and the quality of coffee quite poor. It was not strong, sweet, rich, or bitter, just milky and watery. The bahn mi flavors were delicious, but the baguette was incredibly stale as well.
The service was lovely, I enjoyed the ambiance, the black sesame chai was delightful, but I left feeling incredibly disappointed.

I’m picky with my matcha but i got a raspberry white chocolate matcha and it was really good! Jac and Ethan were very kind and the overall service was great! I also got the House special Banh mi with extra butter and it was really yummy!

The coffee, specialty lattes, and teas are what I come for typically but I have heard the Bahn Mi is on point so I will try that soon!

Love Ca Phe, the strawberry matcha and Ube drinks are fantastic. Pretty good Banh Mis as well. Cute place!

This place is pretty good. I like how theres a coffee and bahn mi place close to my practice space, plus they have vegan options. The “teriyaki” tofu bahn mi had zero teriyaki flavor. It was a pretty run if the mill tofu bahn mi, which is totally fine. Just call it a tofu bahn mi. They also have vegan mayo but it was only in a very concentrated spot in the sandwich. Flavor and execution issues aside, totally acceptable option.

The onion tofu banh mi was super delicious and the tofu was really juicy. The black sesame chai is a must try! Banh mi made starting at 8am. Parking at this location. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again and will recommend to friends.
Parking: A little difficult to get in and out due to traffic.
I found the manager or owner a bit.. unprofessional? Whoever the dude with the hat and glasses was. A customer came in to return a basically completely consumed ground coffee bag. We agree - this guy had no shame and was a total cheapass to come in and return this but the owner/manager was quite vocal about it afterwards and I feel like it would have been classier if he just vented about it when there weren’t a handful of customers in the shop. It was a bit immature. I also asked for a latte with cold foam on top and when he saw the barista making it he was sure to correct her and tell her to never do that for a customer again. I guess it made me feel like she was being corrected for trying to accommodate my special request right in front of me… maybe that should occur when I’m not in ears distance. I’m not sure exactly how to express his demeanour - but he just had an aura about him that was unpleasant and negative. Nextly the washroom was covered in dust and filthy. We wanted to stop here before our drive back into Canada and I was a disappointed. Food and coffee were average. Not bad, not great.

All is good but it's slightly pricey. One of the best gimmick latte's I've ever had and the banh mi was above average but their bread wasn't great.
Still I would recommend and the staff was great.

Wanted to try something different and decided to stop by and get a matcha, with vanilla. It was pretty delicious. It was later in the day and it was pretty full. Really wanna go back to try their banh mi sandwiches.

My experience was unusual. I am from Eugene, went up to Portland in July. Purchased a couple small bags that had very recently been roasted... within a couple days. I did not like the coffee, I thought it too tart. I put the beans away in my closet for a couple of months. The aroma was superlative! The taste was, too. Now, it is my favorite coffee and I eagerly await their next batches so I may stock up.
