Vietnamese coffee shop with ube lattes and banh mi
"A robusta-focused coffee shop whose owner Kim Dam highlights Vietnam’s huge role in global coffee production and the increasing use of robusta in specialty coffee; the shop champions robusta’s bold, chocolatey, high-caffeine character and helps bring traditionally overlooked robusta beans into specialty preparations." - Liz Provencher
"This Vietnamese coffee shop from roaster Kimberly Dam generated serious buzz when it opened in 2021, slinging cà phê sữa đá, ube and cardamom-flavored lattes, and inventive pastries. Like other restaurants on this map, the move here is sandwiches, in this case bánh mì. Provided by Dam’s mother’s House of Bánh Mì, the sandwiches are just $9, with several grilled meat options and a tofu option available for vegetarians. The bánh mì come slathered with rich egg butter, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, and soy sauce. Add a cold brew, and you’ll only end up spending $14. The cafe also operates a Northeast Portland location." - Katrina Yentch
"This micro coffee roaster wants to raise Vietnam’s profile as a coffee producer. Run by a former barista whose family owns the House of Bánh Mì, Kimberly Dam branched out on her own during the pandemic. Of course, the cafe serves Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, though it also offers matcha and hot chocolate flavored with optional syrups, including rose, ube, and lavender, as well as a selection of banh mi." - Janey Wong
"Portland Ca Phe in Southeast Portland specializes in beans grown in Vietnam, incorporated into ube lattes and pumpkin cream cold brew. Those who aren’t interested in coffee will also find some lovely tea drinks, like matcha and black sesame chai. The coffee shop has ample seating for its small size leaving little to be desired from folks looking to get some work done. This space also has a banh mi for those long days spent as a laptop warrior." - Rebecca Roland, Asia Alvarez
