Tucked in the same plaza as Ba Le and Grand Palace restaurant, Levien Cafe caught my eye as I walked past due to their decor. The place is nice and spacious, with Halloween decor everywhere when I went. The fixtures were modern and there was even a small shop within this cafe that sells Pokémon cards.
The menu is mostly Vietnamese style coffee, with other drinks such as smoothies and teas. I decided to get the pennywort and mung bean drink since I was parched and this sounded the most "healthy" drink on their menu. This drink is known as a herbal drink that has good health benefits. Although there was no one in line, the drink took over 40 minutes to come out! Everyone in there was already seated and well situated but I guess the speed the drinks came out in general was slow as people were barely starting to get their drinks a while AFTER I ordered.
The drink was a bit below average. I have had this drink before and it did not taste like this. I saw they don't use fresh pennywort so that could be the main contributing factor. It came out of a bottle that looked like what I could buy at the grocery store across the street! I also noticed the fruit syrups they used so be aware that their fruit drinks do not use fresh fruit either!
Overall, I would say try their coffees as that seemed to be their most popular drink items, but avoid their "fruit" drinks.
