Jenni recommended this place so I had to check it out! It was about a 30 minute walk from Sunset Blvd, kind of glad that we walked since it looked like a tough place to find parking. There were a few outdoor seating, but I'd say that there were more seating inside. It's not a big coffee shop, but it's cute. The interior is minimally decorated which is super nice. I love the bright orange, cream, and green theme. The walls have lovely art that relates to Vietnam.
They have a great menu! I'd like to see more fun flavors for non-dairy drinkers! It would be easy to make. For example, for the coconut ube drink: the woman working said it contained dairy. Probably due to the condensed milk, well-- they displayed coconut condensed milk and oat milk condensed milk on the shelves...so why not utilize that? Coconut condensed milk with the coconut ube Vietnamese coffee would be delicious! And then, they could even play around with using the alternative condensed milk and egg yolks to make dairy free egg cream! I think it would be really amazing.
Anyways, I ordered the $8- EGG COFFEE. The top part was lush and creamy, the addition of the cocoa powder made it feel velvety and rich. It paired very well with the coffee, I wonder what beans they used because it was really tasty. Unlike the iced Vietnamese coffee I had the night before, this one wasn't watered down at all. It was the perfect consistency and utterly delicious. I would recommend this to people!
My brother had the $7- VIET VEGAN. The viet vegan consists of brown sugar syrup, oat milk, and shaken espresso shots. It was strong, not too sweet, and delicious. It's a prominent oat-milk taste. He really enjoyed it!
The prices for my drink was similar to other specialty Vietnamese coffee shops. Although, it was interesting that we both got the same size and there was a one dollar difference. My brothers drink was basically a brown sugar oat milk latte, I would usually see that priced a bit lower if we were to compare to other shops. Regardless, they both were delicious.
Would come back here again to try something else off the menu! Hopefully next time they will have fun drinks available for those lactose intolerant people | not vegan (; | like take the coco vegan and add ube extract or pandan extract? Super easy, super yum! Next time, I would order the Salted Cream Coffee aka Ca Phe Kem Muoi. They not only have coffee, but tea, soda, and pastries as well. For dogs they have some treats. And they also have a water dispenser if you need a refresher. This is a great spot to come solo, on a date, with friends, or family!
