FifthSip.

TL;DR: Smooth, creamy matcha latte with unique sweetness and just enough earthiness. Super friendly staff and chill atmosphere. I’m not even a huge coffee or matcha person, but this was good. I came here after seeing Fifth Sip on social media and decided to try the iced matcha latte. The staff was welcoming and fast, and the place has that cozy-modern vibe that makes you want to stay for another drink. Would definitely get again.

A small coffee shop with unique selection like Toasted Sesame and Coco Americano which is iced americano with fresh coconut water. There is limited indoor seating, coffee beans to go, and small selection of merch. Staffs were friendly and the coffee is strong and delicious.

Drink 4.5/5 Value 3/5 Totally love that they offer so many different Vietnamese coffee options here! I noticed the $8.50 price tag on the Hanoi Egg Coffee but went for it anyway. The coffee's flavor was bold, and that egg cream was perf

Viet girl here 🙋🏻‍♀️ who has traveled to Vietnam over a handful of times and a coffee and matcha girlie/addict 😅 The Viet coffee itself is a bit more on the watery side, not super authentic, but good enough! The Hanoi egg coffee - it’s okay! 3/5 ⭐️ NY doesn’t have a largest population of Viet cuisine or coffee like the west coast but this is good enough! They add cocoa powder on top which isn’t traditional and doesn’t add or take away imo. The pandan latte - unfortunately the pandan tastes extremely artificial. Wish there was some cream foam to add a bit of texture but it was just watered down coffee with artificial flavoring extract. 2/5 ⭐️ Salted coffee - good salted cream top! similar sentiments as above. 4/5 ⭐️ Atmosphere: it’s very bright and stark, small but not cozy vibes. Seating is limited to a beach and stools really close to the wall. Other viet cafes express more culture which makes the experience nicer. *There’s a weird stench, like BO 😣 luckily this place is more of a takeout vibe so don’t plan to sit and chit chat or do any work here. Baristas: always super nice! I’ve never encountered any that are of visibly of Asian decent or Vietnamese race which is different from other Viet cafes.

The ube is my favorite, whether that’s an addition to the matcha latte or regular latte-by far the best ube! I love all the staff there and the owner is always friendly and welcoming. Shout out to my favorite barista, Lindsey!

The matcha is so good, they have very unique flavors of matcha lattes. It’s on the sweeter side so keep that in mind before ordering! Staff are so nice and welcoming here

Very nice Hanoi egg coffee. Not a low calorie option by any means, but tasted absolute beauty. Quite expensive since however

Visited on their opening day, surprisingly not a long line and very friendly and fast service! The store deco is white and blue which is very friendly to the eyes. Has many specialty coffees, you can definitely find one you love! I got the coconut slush coffee which was very good and refreshing, very nice to have on a hot day. It’s a bit too sweet to my liking and will ask to adjust sweetness level if possible next time. But very tasty coffees and cute place!

A cute little coffee shop in SoHo! It's an easy place to pick up a coffee and go. All the coffees are Asian inspired; it has the Vietnamese coffee caffeine quality that will definitely perk you up. Our friends who live in NY recommended stopping here to try out their sweet flavors. I had gotten the banana latte and my partner chose the black sesame. The cream top really balances the coffee entirely. I can see how popular this place can become. Services was quick with two coffee baristas that take your order and creates your drink. Will definitely be back!

If your idea of a dream coffee shop is one where they blend the likes of black sesame, ube, salted cream, and coconut into their drinks, FifthSip fulfills that dream to a tee. I was drawn to their Fall specials, which had one iced drink with three types of hojicha and another with banana matcha, but I wasn't about to have an iced drink on this 20 degree farenheit day. The hot corn latte I got had the right amount of flavor. Not too cloying but not too subtle, a balance I imagine, that's hard to reach. I can get a little sensitive to the amount of caffeine in Vietnamese coffees, but this drink seemed to have about as much caffeine as a regular latte, so I didn't get any of the anxious jitters that viet coffee or cold brew can sometimes give me. I'll be back to try their hojicha, matcha, and maybe one of their ube lattes.

Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Price: $5-$10 Mostly a coffee shop with a handful of matcha lattes. Not a lot of seating. Very consistent with their aesthetic + decor. So funny that it's right next door to another coffee shop + I take it as a good sign that both are busy + have small lines out the door. What I Ordered: - Matcha Latte: I don't like that it comes pre-sweetened, a little grainy at the end - Pistachio Latte: lighter cream, better balanced

Stopped by for an iced ube dream latte. Regular size was $9+, a little pricier than how much I usually pay for coffee but it was tasty! The coffee wasn't overly sweet as some Vietnamese coffee's can be and you can taste the ube flavor. Shop wasn't busy when I stopped by, staff took my order and I got my drink quickly. There are some benches for seating inside. I'm not in the area too often so glad I was able to pop in, I'd come back again.

In my quest for the best sweet corn latte, stumbled upon FifthSip! Unfortunately this was not my favorite - the coffee was rather strong and the corn puree was a bit mealy - wish there was a better balance here

Honestly really decent matcha in NY!! I visited on a Tuesday afternoon for a pick me up. There was nobody in line and the employees were so nice. I just got a regular matcha latte and it was out quickly. There's no place to sit inside but a couple seats outside. Not too milky or sweet, pretty decent matcha flavor. Compared to the place next door it's more affordable LOL and worth the convenience of not having to wait in line.

I love how there's Vietnamese coffee popping up around NY since there isn't much Vietnamese food here. I think the drinks are ok, the flavors aren't super strong but I do think the coffee is good. The black sesame was very faint. I also think the prices are quite high for what it is. Vietnamese coffee is fairly easy to make so I don't think the price is justified.

FifthSip is a unique coffee shop with Vietnamese inspired drinks. The atmosphere inside is cozy, and the staff gave off really good energy. The drinks are on the pricier side at around $8, so I had pretty high expectations. Aesthetically, the drinks are super cool. I ordered the 3 color dessert fall special, which is hojicha tea layered with red bean paste, pandan syrup, and coconut milk. I love all of these flavors individually, but I didn't think they paired well together. It was overly sweet, and I ended up diluting it with a lot of water. Maybe it was the combination of the sweetness and the wind outside, but I got a headache afterward.

Don't get me wrong... The drinks are great! I personally ordered the Salted Cream. It had a really nice cold foam on top. Exactly what I expected with a tad bit of saltiness mixed in with the sweetness. The coffee was great/strong. My only complaint and the reason why I rated it down is the size/price ratio. I really enjoyed my cup, but I feel like the moment only lasted a few minutes... The cup in general is on the smaller end. Plus there is a decent amount of ice inside, so the drink you are actually consuming is not a lot. So, I personally didn't think it was worth over $8. I would not discourage anyone from trying it once, but probably wouldn't be on my list to visit again.

Awesome spot in SoHo! The flavors of the Vietnamese coffee are strong but well balanced. Cozy interior and friendly staff and service. Hanoi egg - bold coffee balanced with the creamy egg foam on top. Perfect blend of coffee and sweetness Saigon drip - nice clean strong Vietnamese coffee Definitely needed to keep me energized throughout the day ! If you haven't tried it, you need to make a visit !

Can't go to a Vietnamese coffee shop without getting Vietnamese coffee ! We had opted for the original Vietnamese coffee and the double matcha. the coffee itself is a bit more bitter than what I had expected. Not an unpleasant type of bitter but it was definitely a surprise ! Most places that offer viet coffee that isn't a small mom and pop shop are diluted. But ! Not here. super strong coffee and the sweetness level was mild. I personally will have asked for a tiny bit more condense milk for my next visit but personal opinion ! Now the star of the show. The most unexpected star! The double matcha latte was a choice I had made accidentally ! Came in for one drink left with two. I highly highly recommend this. Strong matcha flavor with a subtle sweetness. Matcha lattes are always a hit or miss and the cold foam one too just adds the extra oomph !

There were so many drinks on the menu I wanted to try, but we settled for the Pandan Latte, Banana Latte, and the FifthSip Latte. I will say, the small is quite... small. It was really expensive for the amount that we got. Also, the flavors weren't as strong as I thought they would be as they were pretty subtle and didn't last too long. It's pretty packed and there's not that much seating inside here so I would say the seating area is more for waiting and it's more of a grab and go spot. We left a bit disappointed because I've been meaning to come here for awhile but like many others, I thought the size was a bit too small considering how pricey it was!

Pretty good matcha pandan that's not too sweet and lets you customize the amoutn of matcha, sweetness, ice levels. I liked it more than the one i got from larry's caphe. However. there's not much space inside and it's more of a takeout option.

Went to check this place out around when they first opened and it was a super small store but already so busy! I was missing vietnamese coffee after coming back from Vietnam so I thought this was a great place to try but it was disappointing in comparison to the real deal. In general the coffee felt lacking in taste but I still enjoyed it!

Was in search for my last matcha during my NYC trip and FifthSip appealed to me with their asian inspired drinks, particularly the Pandan Matcha. My boyfriend opted for the brown sugar latte. As a big pandan enjoyer, I was super excited to see they had a pandan matcha. I got it iced with oat milk, and I love matcha so I added an extra shot. The pandan paired really great with the matcha, and the flavoring was just right. Not too sweet or overpowering. My boyfriend enjoyed the brown sugar latte, but I gave it a try and it felt pretty standard. I'm not the biggest coffee fan, so I won't base my review on that. We came here on a Wednesday morning and there was no line or wait. There were a few chairs for you to sit at inside which we opted to do. It's a small space and I enjoyed having it to ourselves, especially on a muggy rainy day. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves pandan and other asian inspired drinks!

Ever since I visited Vietnam years ago, I've been searching for a legit egg cream Vietnamese coffee. We'll look no further, Fifthsip has filled that void and is my go-to when I need that creamy and delicious caffeinated drink. I can't wait to return to try the banana latte, coconut slush, and pistachio latte. Prices are high but expected. Service was alright, but I wish they were friendlier, especially if I'm paying ~$10 including tip for a drink.

This review is only for the food as I got my order to go. I came here because one of my friends they had good pastries. I love sweets so I was very interested. They didn't have many left so I got the salted yolk and pistachio one. The salted yolk one had a very meaty taste to it. The floss around the bun tasted like salted pork and it was not tasty. I do not eat pork so, it wasn't good to me. The pistachio had a mild flavor and it tasted mostly like dough. The buns were big and fluffy. I do like they were big enough to share and they had fillings inside of them. However, their flavor profile wasn't something I was interested in. I probably wouldn't get them again. The staff was friendly and quick when ordering.

My review is for the pastries only. I didn't try any drinks bc they didn't have non-caffeinated options. The round colorful lava buns look cool but I don't think taste very good. The sweetness level of the cream in Ube and Matcha buns are just right however the dough is not good consistency. It feels like playdoh and dull down the taste of the cream. And the weird hairy seaweed one..I have no words. It's the worst thing I've tasted in a long while. I do want to try their drinks.. they look delicious. I was there towards the evening so didn't want the energy kick so late in the day. Next time! Hopefully this place will redeem itself in my book.

I'm from Orange County, so this coffee doesn't compare to what I could get there. However, it's the closest you'll get in New York. I tried the Pandan Matcha, Hanoi Egg Coffee, Banana Cream Coffee, Pandan Coffee and would definitely recommend the Hanoi Egg Coffee! It's not too sweet or heavy tasting. The matcha is solid but nothing special. And the Banana Coffee did not taste enough like Banana but still good. Overall, I think their recipes could use some tweaking but it's still a solid spot for Viet coffee in New York!

FifthSip. has been super popular on social media for their beautiful and unique combos of Vietnamese coffee flavors and matcha flavors! The egg cream and sesame cream were both nice, fluffy, and thick, pairing well with the bitterness of slightly sweet coffee base. As for the matchas, I haven't really seen a pandan flavor available elsewhere and this flavor profile works sooooo well! The ube one is super popular here as well and was good, but the ube syrup fell down the cup really quickly so the purple color didn't stay on top very long. The staff are also so welcoming and friendly!

Hard to believe that anyone would not get the jitters from the Hanoi Cream! Vietnamese coffee generally speaking packs a powerful punch of caffeine and this was no different. I've had several FifthSip drinks so far and all pack a solid punch. The Hanoi Egg in particular is super rich from the egg and the caffeine. I definitely got the jitters with that first sip. The Toasted Sesame has a black sesame topping, layered on top of a rich coffee base. All of this richness does come at a cost, just north of $10 (after tax and tip) is what you should expect to pay for this rich taste. Notice how many times I've said rich in this review. LOL. I haven't had to wait long so far during my visits as I usually go early in the morning on weekends but I could picture a wait during peak times.

Drink 4.5/5 Value 3/5 Totally love that they offer so many different Vietnamese coffee options here! I noticed the $8.50 price tag on the Hanoi Egg Coffee but went for it anyway. The coffee's flavor was bold, and that egg cream was perf

What a great new Vietnamese coffee addition to the area! I came here on a weekend morning with a couple of friends and waited around 15 minutes in line before ordering. I honestly had choice fatigue since each menu option sounded like a great drink. I eventually settled on their Dirty Matcha due to its listing as a "bold, earthy kick." Indeed, it was a great mix of matcha along with espresso! I could taste each ingredient strongly yet neither the matcha nor espresso portion overpowered one or the other. I was able to try my friends' drinks too, including the Corn Latte, which had a nice creamy corn taste, and the Ube Dream, which was colorful and had a good strong ube flavor. No drink was too sweet, and I appreciate the ceremonial grade matcha they used in their drinks. I'd love to try their Hanoi Egg drink in the future!

The pandan renaissance is here, and I'm loving every moment of it. I'm sure the distinctive green color has been helpful in driving up the hype on Instagram, but thankfully the lines still aren't too long at this new Vietnamese coffee purveyor in Nolita. Next visit I'll be more adventurous and try the corn latte, but the pandan latte had a very pleasant, subtle aroma and flavor.

Cute little coffee shop with good drinks. We ordered their ube and Hanoi egg coffee and both were delicious. Baristas were friendly. Would come back.

I was so excited to try the viet coffee lattes at FifthSip and it did not disappoint!!! The coconut slush was DELICIOUS! The viet coffee was strong and creamy. The coconut sugar flavors were amplified with the coconut slush. Texture wise, the mixture of the icy slush with the thick coffee was fun to slurp on! I also got try the ube dream, which I also enjoyed very much. But be sure to give it a GOOD mix! The ube cream by itself had strong authentic flavors. Only when it was fully mixed the ube and the condensed milk flavors combined nicely with the espresso taste. I liked the minimalist decor with white and dark green themes. I know they are relatively new so they were still working on finishing up the seats in the back. There were some bar top seating outside but overall had limited seating options. I'm definitely planning to come back!! Next time I'd want to try: Pandan Latte Corn Latte Pistachio Latte Salted Cream Toasted Sesame

A fun twist on coffee with fun flavors! I loved venturing here with my friend!! I had the oat and honey latte and my friend tried the banana latte. I really enjoyed the oat and honey latte. My friend had been there before and tried the banana latte this time around but it wasn't here fav. She enjoyed the corn one more. Service was very good and staff were very kind. Try it out!!

The Hanoi Egg coffee is perfection! Literally tastes like a custard latte with strong Vietnamese coffee and a sweet eggy foam. It is $9 though :( there goes all my money.... My friend tried the yuzu matcha which was also tasty, but not as delicious as the Hanoi egg coffee- just get it! Service is pretty fast despite it being packed on a Saturday afternoon. There is some seating in the back but it was packed so I took my drink to go.

Small, petite coffee shop with quick turnaround. Visited this coffee shop; thanks to multiple influencers reels and TikTok's! This is the closest I can get my hands to a real egg coffee from Vietnam and I would say it's not too bad. A little on the sweeter side but that's Vietnamese coffee for ya! The Ube dream, was better than I expected it to be. There's actual ube taste when blended with the coffee; a tad bit sweet for me but was bearable. As many other reviewers mentioned, price and size was a bit on the steep side but it's def worth a try!

I've been hot sold FifthSip by my Instagram algorithm for weeks now. I was in the area after a late lunch and decided to stop by for a quick coffee. It was the Friday before Labor Day, so I suspect most people were already out of town for the long weekend because there was no line at all. I asked the barista to help me pick between the Hanoi Egg Cream or the Ube Dream and she said the Hanoi Egg Cream was her favorite. So I went with that! It was actually quite good, very creamy and not too sweet. I don't usually take sugar in my coffee, so honestly this wasn't bad at all. My SIL had the Corn Latte, which I thought was just OK. I didn't really taste a lot of corn flavor in it, but I'm also not really sure what I was expecting. It was a bit pricey, so I don't think it will go in my regular rotation. But if I'm in the area, I would be down to try some of their other drinks.

Ballsy move to open up a coffee shop next to an existing coffee shop, but FifthSip did it anyway! These drinks will have you running the circumference of the Earth with their caffeine content. Their Saigon black comes dark and syrupy, pre-sweetened with molasses-like body and intensity while the freshly pulled and handcrafted Americano drinks much lighter. The space feels a little uninviting and uncomfortable due to the store's physical orientation but some NYC coffee shops are built for high turnover and are not meant for lingering too long. Traffic needs to flow in two directions but the movement feels akin to boarding a plane where most people are entering, forcing the exiting customers to stiff shoulder through. Perhaps a stanchion or some instructional "wait over here" signs will ameliorate the crowd clumping during peak business hours. I can't speak for any of their other specialty drinks quite yet since I take my coffee with the fewest add ins/calories however my friend who lives in the neighborhood has already returned to FifthSip about six times. Their Instagram warns, "sip responsibly," and firsthand, I strongly encourage you do cuz they're putting something habit forming in their robusta!

I was so excited to try real Vietnamese coffee in a shop as opposed to me, making it in my house or restaurants improvising. Though the menu was stacked with delicious offerings, I had to go with the Hanoi Egg Coffee, not only because it's a signature drink for them, but the history of the drinks creation itself. Thankfully, it was only 1 or 2 other people, when we arrived and the staff was super helpful. Despite its size, the richness and deep robusta flavor shone through. The thick, sweet, egg based, custard-like whipped topping was phenomenal! 10oz in a 12oz for roughly $9 was a bit steep, but it was definitely some of the best coffee I've had, ever. Next time I'll go for the ube bev thanks guys!

Being from the OC originally, I've been missing a good specialty viet coffee in the city, so this definitely hits the spot! I've previously tried the corn latte, which wasn't my fave as I wish there was more of the corn flavor, but this time I tried the Pandan Matcha and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing. I'm always comparing it to my favorite matcha spot in the OC and this one didn't disappoint. My friend got the banana latte, which she enjoyed, but wished the syrup was mixed in with the latte. Since this had a cream top, it would be nice to have that all mixed before being served so that we don't mix in the cream top while trying to mix it in ourselves. My other friend got the pandan latte and said it was her favorite in the city so far. There's a few seating spots in the back for a nice chat with friends. I'll definitely come back again, but the only thing stopping me from coming back so often is the price. My matcha came out to $9.25 for a small, and would be +$1.50 for large, which is a little pricey for the amount we get.

A small coffee shop with unique selection like Toasted Sesame and Coco Americano which is iced americano with fresh coconut water. There is limited indoor seating, coffee beans to go, and small selection of merch. Staffs were friendly and the coffee is strong and delicious.

There's not too many Vietnamese coffee shops in manhattan so I was super excited when Fifthsip opened. I LOVED the salted cream so much (my favorite vietnamese coffee drink) - has a nice sweet and salty flavor combo. Also tried the coconut slush which was not too sweet. Not too much seating inside though; more of a grab and go spot

Came here on Labor Day and was surprised there wasn't really a line! The space is quite small and there's nowhere really to sit. The place lacked coziness but that's ok since I was getting a drink to go. I ended up getting the pandan matcha in a small size. The total was around $10 which is crazy. The drink tasted great though, you could taste the pandan coming through nicely. Would probably be back again as a treat, but not as frequent!

A brand new Vietnamese coffee shop just opened in SoHo and it's a must-try if you're a coffee lover We tried the Hanoi Egg Latte, and it was unreal. Frothy, rich, creamy, with that bold Vietnamese coffee flavor, it was SO GOOD I literally ordered a second one on the spot They have the most unique menu with drinks like: Coconut Slush Tiramisu Latte Ube Dream Saigon Drip + Hanoi Egg Toasted Sesame & more bold, creative flavors! Perfect for anyone looking to step up their coffee game in NYC, Add this to your summer coffee crawl!!

I'd like to try this again, maybe I just didn't try a good coffee? The egg foam on top was delish but the coffee itself wasn't very good.

Not sure what the hype is about. My sister and I got the corn latte as well as the egg latte and agreed that both drinks did not taste good, especially for $18 for 2 lattes? It was poorly balanced, extremely sweet but also very acidic. We each had one sip of each drink and had to throw the rest away.

Tried the Pandan matcha and boyfriend tried the taro coffee. Both were so delicious!! Very fast and clean! Came back the next day too! Will come back when I'm back in town!

I tried the Pandan latte and it was good. I would say the Pandan is slightly on the subtle side. I'd come back to try some of their fall specials! There is seating, but not too good for chatting with friends as it's more like benches. Dog friendly!

Have heard a lot of hype about this new spot. The pandan matcha was surprisingly good. You could taste the hint of pandan through every sip but still retain the creamy matcha taste. I got it with a dairy free milk so it might have altered the original taste but I think it was a pretty good drink.

Youtube influencers do carry some influence as we found our way here after watching someone's food adventures in NYC. We came at around 11 AM on Sunday. There was not much of a buzz with only 1-2 customers ahead of us. I got the salted cream coffee. If you catch the perfect ratio of coffee and salted cream, it was heaven. If you only get most of the salted cream, it was too salty. My husband enjoyed his saigon black. It was sweeter than I anticipated for just a black coffee. They had a few pastry options. I tried the pork floss with salted egg. It was ok, but probably a bit more expensive and not much better than the pork floss buns that you can buy in Chinatown. Overall a unique coffee place to try without a long wait.

I finally tried the Banana iced latte. Not my favorite. It had a bitter taste to it but I did like the fact that it tasted alot like actual bananas in it.

Got the pistachio latte, it had a really unique nutty, but not overwhelmingly so after taste compared to any other pistachio latte I've had from other cafes. I really liked how light the latte was overall, perfect amount of sweetness and espresso balance. Service was quick, and the server was really helpful with her recommendations. I'd love to come back and try their other flavors for sure, the menu offerings were unlike any other cafe I've come across

Love this place. I've been twice and I've tried the pandan latte and the ube drip. Both are delicious. The staff are nice and they were super accommodating on my first visit (I needed WiFi to check some work stuff quickly). There's not a ton of seating so it's more of a grab and go spot, but the interior is well decorated. Big fan of the logo too

With truly wonderful staff and delicious Vietnamese coffee drinks, definitely check out FifthSip. The staff walked me through the drinks I was interested in (and even let me try a bit of one). I decided on the corn latte because how could I not? I love anything corn. It was the most unique coffee drink I've had. Not very sweet at all and really tasted like fresh corn due to the puree at the bottom. Wish the cold foam had a bit more flavor though. Next time I'd like to try their other specialities. It'll probably always be a tough choice for me when all the combos are so unique

I really like the drinks at FifthSip, but it's hard to justify the prices here. Maybe it's the SoHo premium, but East Village is close by and has a good number of places that offer solid Vietnamese coffee for much less.

Got the pandan latte here and it was so grassy?? In a good way?!?! like pandan flavor on 100 and perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. I would absolutely get again. No where does pandan justice and this place just does- no where inside to sit but the streets are cute to bop around of the weather is nice
