Saigon Grace Cafe

Came here with my wife and daughter on a recommendation from my sister. My daughter got the iced coffee with Ube which highten the authentic Vietnamese coffee flavor with a unique and delicious twist! The pork rice bowl which is similar to com tam was delicious. Wife really enjoyed the bulgogi beef bowl with noodles. The caramelized onions add a new layer of taste to the tender beef. The pork banh mi was well blend of meat and sauces wrapped in a soft baguette. Love it! DEI of food fusion was well captured with the Viet/Mex taste on display. Food was served fast while the service was friendly, warm and personable. A great family cafe addition to South St.! Have to come again the next time we're in the neighborhood.

I had such a heartwarming experience at this Vietnamese café. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed—the staff and owners were incredibly kind and generous. They gave me the time I needed to order without rushing me, and their communication was so warm and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and felt nourishing—healthy without being heavy. I left feeling energized and satisfied. The prices were fair, and overall, the environment felt safe and inviting. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend!

Love this cute little cafe! The menu is perfect for brunch / lunch with a delectable selection of vietnamese fusion offering. We got the taro chips and tostadas and they were delicious! The service is also warm and nice. We have a 18mo and found the space to be kid-friendly.

This spot is something in-between a cafe with a casual dine-in food options, first time I came just for coffee and got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Salted Foam; the salted foam really balanced out the sweetness from the condensed milk, it was lovely! Today I took myself out to lunch, and I’m so happy I gave the food a chance! I was a bit wary it would be too americanized from the menu (I’m a bit particular about preserving certain authentic flavors) but I love me a good fusion place done right, and this place got it 100% right. I got the Bulgogi Beef Banh Mi (and added pickled carrot and daikon on the side—a must! Please try it with it!) and I was in love. The kimchi would mix with the mayo and the beef was so so tender and juicy, it was glistening. The bread was perfectly carved out and toasted and didn’t kill your gums while still giving you that satisfying crunch with every bite. We can’t forget about how the Taro Chips that came with it was the perfect final touch! Super thin sliced and crispy, salted just enough with a kiss of lime that complimented every bite with the hoagie. I loved it so much that everything was gone before I took another breath! I also got the Ube Coffee, which is your classic Vietnamese Iced Coffee with an Ube Cold Foam, and it was super yummy! The ube made it even creamier while still giving you the robust Vietnamese Coffee punch. This time I loved so much that, I slowly sipped it to keep savoring it instead haha This is a super casual but extraordinary Vietnamese fusion spot that makes both amazing food and coffee, I already can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Wanted to say how stoked we are in the neighborhood with Saigon Grace Cafe now Open! Staff very kind, warm atmosphere, If you want to come relax. I’ve had everything from the French Toast, the Pork Bahmi, the Chicken Bowl And the Salted Foam (see pics) Highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed!

Exceptional Vietnamese restaurant/cafe. Best iced coffee, bahn mi and breakfast foods like French toast, pancakes and avocado toast. Service was amazing and super friendly. Food came out fast and the ambiance of the restaurant is low key, laid back and played great music.

Truly the best spot for Vietnamese food in the city! We had a noodle bowl and a bahn mi and summer rolls. Delicious salted foam coffee - incredible hospitality. Real balance, texture and flavor in every bite. P.s the taro chips are out of this world which is why you don’t see any pictured- we ate them too fast!

Ms Thuy was amazing at giving suggestions on the menu. Her personality on top of the wonderfully made dishes sold this place to me. They have a loyalty program which is also an added plus. Highly recommended

The customer service was amazingggg!! Khai was absolutely great with helping me decide what to order and the food was lovely! I loved the cheesesteak egg rolls and Thai tea cracked chocolate drink, definitely is an excellent place to eat!

Stumbled upon this new Vietnamese restaurant on South Street on the way to the gym. They have new twists to the classic Viet coffee. The salt foam top being one of them. The coffee is strong, not too sweet, and the salt foam was a nice touch. Chatted with the staff a bit. This place opened three months ago. The owners are not new to the food industry so they knew what they were doing with this. The menu looked to have some classic Vietnamese dishes but also some fusion items. I'll be back to try the food

Did a quick brunch with my daughter! And happened to stop by this adorable cafe. Vietnamese owned, relatively new place, about 4-5months since it opened. Loved the viet-Mexican-Korean influenced menu. We asked for recommendations and tried the salted foam coffee, Thai Thea cream cheese, mango pancakes and the bulgogi banh mi Drinks were great! The wall drink menu has a few more options we missed, like the matcha coconut drink. So check that too! Mango pancakes used dried mangos, since it's in season now, fresh mangoes with a chantilly cream or mango syrup drizzle would have taken this dish to the next level. The banh mi was delish, loved the Kim chi in it as well. The taro fries were a little too oily for me. service was great. Got to chat with the owner and his wife for a bit. Definitely give this place a try!

DRINKS We tried their thai tea and Vietnamese coffee with salted cream. Both were fantastic. The thai tea was sweet and the black tea flavor was strong. The Vietnamese coffee was very strong, creamy, and not too sweet. If I ever need a pick-me-up, I would get it again, but the thai tea took the cake for me. They have a wide variety of other options, from fruit teas, Dalgona coffee, and more. FOOD Various pastries and an all-day menu is available, although we only sat down to drink this time around. Tableside service is available, although when it's not too busy, guests can purchase up front and sit down themselves. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! AMBIANCE About 9 tables for two are available inside the store that can be moved together for larger parties. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available with the password at the front counter, and outlets are available throughout. When the weather is nice, the windows open for fresh air. It is largely a sit-down restaurant and not many guests study/work here despite the free Wi-Fi. PARKING Paid hourly street parking is available at a limited capacity. BATHROOM No public bathroom is available at the store.

Came to this casual spot for a weekend lunch, and it's a good place if you're looking for a mix of Vietnamese, Korean, and Mexican food! When I went, there was probably a half hour wait, as it was pretty popular. You order at the front, and then they'll bring you the food. My friend and I ordered the pork vermicelli bowl and the birria ramen, along with their pina colada iced tea. The tea was super refreshing, and I've also heard good things about their vietnamese coffee! The vermicelli bowl was well balanced, but I wished the birria ramen had more flavor. It's pretty small inside with limited seats, but the service is very fast and friendly. Overall, would come back here again!

I found this spot after returning from a trip to Vietnam, desperately trying to cope with my Vietnamese coffee withdrawal--and Saigon Grace did not disappoint! In my first few weeks back, I tried their Salted Vietnamese Coffee, Traditional Vietnamese Coffee, and the Ube. All were delicious, but the Ube was definitely my favorite. They really nailed the bold, rich flavors that reminded me of what I had in Vietnam. If you're looking to try a new type of coffee or just want to indulge in a Vietnamese treat, I highly recommend Saigon Grace.

Cozy, unassuming spot with great food and bevs. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh taro chips which had a lemon-y flavor that was super refreshing. Little bit far from my place to be a repeat spot but definitely a place worth stopping by. I'm not sure if they have central air or not but it was warm out when we went and they had the windows open and ceiling fans on and it was quite hot inside.

This coconut matcha is unreal! I can't even begin to describe how good it is! What are you doing by not going here? You need to get here already

Saw this on my insta feed and had to try! A blend of various Asian cuisines like Korean and Vietnamese. Items: ~Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and salted foam- strong coffee taste but balanced well with the additions! Not too sweet or salty ~Dalgona coffee- takes me back to COVID days where I would make this drink at home! ~grilled chicken banh mi: amazing!! Cucumber, carrots, grilled chicken (seasoned very well),jalapeños, and sauces

Amazing (Saigon) Grace! The menu is a mix of Vietnamese, Korean and Mexican and everything my friends and I got was great! Banh mis, bulgogi vermicelli bowl, spring rolls, fun dalgona iced viet coffee drinks. You order at the front and they bring it your food. There isn't that much seating so you may have to wait a bit, but the food came out super fast! Service was very friendly. Recommend for a casual breakfast or just a fun drink.

Another great lunch at Saigon Grace Cafe! Though the place was full and we had to wait a few for a table, both our two top and the four top that came in behind us were seated within a reasonable time. Even with every seat taken, the vibe still felt relaxing. Service was, once again, impeccable. We ordered two rice bowls--one beef bulgogi (loved the kimchi!) and one BBQ pork--and shortly after our plates were cleared, we saw a plate of intriguing pancakes go by, so we indulged in sharing an order of pancakes with mango! The mango was dried and slightly spicy, which was refreshing in combination with the syrup. Will certainly be back to try more offerings! P.S. Don't forget to add your rewards account when you checkout!

We stopped in at Saigon Grace Cafe for brunch on the weekend. They have a wonderful brunch menu combining American classics with great Vietnamese flair to it. We got a stack of their curro pancakes. Topped with powder sugar and small churros on top. With syrup drizzled on top it delivers a chefs kiss of taste buds. A fairly small place with limited dine in capacity but the staff is friendly and very accommodating. I saw a lot of people take their items to go if you aren't able to get a table.

Fast service, parking was limited and you had to pay in the area. The selection was all over the place and my rice bowl didn't mix with a hot coffee. The churro pancakes gave trying too hard vibes

My new favorite spot! The coffees are a 10/10 along with their food as well! Great service and comfortable setting.

The best iced coffee in the land!!! Just incredible really.. Beans are shipped into PHL from the family farm in Vietnam! Food is fresh and tasty!

cute cafe on south street with a strong viet iced coffee that's not too sweet. staff were very friendly and they also offered a carrying strap for my drink. will have to come back to try their food!

The food here is fantastic! I had the birria ramen which comes with two tacos. So delicious. My husband had the bulgogi beef banh mi which he loved and it came with taro chips that were really tasty. We also got coffee with chocolate crackle which was also great. I highly recommend stopping by for food. The owners are super nice and supporting this local restaurant will help them stay in business.

We ordered catering from Saigon Grace Cafe for a Department luncheon. The food was fresh, tasty, and light. The Cheesesteak eggrolls and vermicelli bowls were incredible. Everything has a nice light taste without being messy or too salty. I highly recommend this place to cater your next meeting. It's affordable, delicious and accommodating to all dietary restrictions.

I love this place. The family who owns it couldn't be friendlier, and their attention to detail in their food and drinks is pretty unrivaled. My favorite is the chicken rice bowl, but everything is good and the well-known salted foam Vietnamese iced coffee never disappoints. Highly highly recommend this place. It's an incredible addition to our neighborhood.

Great service and food! We ordered the breakfast burrito, banh mi and avocado toast, and everything was scrumptious. Free WiFi, as well!

This restaurant is all about attention to detail and delicious combinations of flavors. I had a lovely breakfast here on the recommendation of a friend, and boy were they spot on: Saigon Grace is LEGIT, there coffee is amazing. The owner is gracious and friendly, and I enjoyed talking to him about how to best enjoy the viet coffee, and where the coffee beans themselves came from! I ordered an avocado toast and it was one of the best I've ever had, with a perfect fried egg, some sauteed greens and grape tomatoes, with high quality bread underneath. I liked the relaxed atmosphere, it was just a chill place to enjoy food and coffee, with a few fellow diners quietly chatting away and a steady stream of customers. My only regret is not coming here sooner.

I've been here several times, the food and the coffees are both amazing! The Noodle Bowls with Chicken and the Bulgogi Bahn Mi are both great. The staff there is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great vibe and great addition to the neighborhood!

Our coffees were unbelievable as well as the food! We got a pancake, bahn mi and the beef bowl. I normally take home left overs and never finish my coffee, but everything was SO good we had nothing left!! Amazing service to start. Everyone is so nice and welcoming! They have great music playing too. 10/10. We will DEF be back and excited to have a new take out spot!

Coffee Ube, Coconut Matcha, Bulgogi Vermicelli Bowl, Breakfast Burrito, Chicken Fingers with fries were all amazinggggg!! So happy there were brunch options for our range of dietary preferences - especially perfect energy boost before heading to the museum!! We absolutely love this cafe for their specialty drinks, hearty cafe dishes and attentive service!! Definitely recommend!!

Stopped in today as I had a hair appointment in South Philly and because of Septa's atrocious weekend regional rail schedule I had plenty of time to kill. It was packed inside so i ordered my coffee and Bahn mi to go, thinking i would take it to a shady park nearby to enjoy. The woman who took my order graciously offered for me to wait outside on one of their benches and the coffee and food would be brought out to me. My coffee was brought out first and it was one of the most exquisite iced coffees I have ever had (have to add here that I am not a young person and have had A LOT of truly great coffees in my life). The salted foam was what truly made it unique and delicious. After a few more minutes my Bahn Mi was brought out by the owner, who beamed when i mentioned how delicious the coffee was. She recommended the best way to enjoy it, by forgoing the straw and I appreciated her customer service having worked years in the industry myself. My food looked incredible and I had not had breakfast so i devoured it right there on the bench. The grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and the cucumber, mayo, jalapeño, pickled carrot and daikon and cilantro were expertly portioned, and the crispy taro chips on the side were a pleasant surprise. I truly wish i lived nearby, as I would quickly become a regular here.

Amazing food but most importantly the hospitality! I haven't experienced hospitality like this in years in Philadelphia. They displayed authentic brotherly love and I will continue to come back forever now!

Been here multiple times and it's always amazing! The people working are extremely friendly and make you feel as though you're eating at a friend's house! The pork bahn mi and the crispy spring rolls are amazing!!! I have also gotten two different iced coffees, both were to die for. Great for takeout or to sit in their cozy cafe with plenty of seating options. Such a great addition to south street, can't wait to continue going!

me and my friends went early one morning to kill time before our airbnb was ready. we were sleep deprived, hangry and desperately needed strong ass coffee so we found saigon grace which was like a 5 minute walk from our airbnb and Vietnamese coffee is like crack in a cup so it was an easy yes. the two working were super kind and welcoming. i think the guy that was working was the owner and he reminded me of my uncle so i instantly liked him. i got the dalgona iced coffee and it literally rocked my world. probably the best iced coffee i've ever had. and im UPSET because i live on the west coast so ill never be able to get it again unless im back in philly but i loved the vibes and the atmosphere and the coffee so much that i felt compelled to write a review and say thank you for your hospitality!!!! you literally didn't have to do anything to make me feel welcomed : )

Very imaginative food. The salt foam coffee was a blissful treat. The service was friendly and excellent. The ambience is casual and comfortable. I'll be back.

Food was fine, but for a Vietnamese spot that opened within a block of two other Vietnamese spots, the service needs to be better. The people that work there are rude and that is why I will not be returning and will continue to choose the other two Vietnamese spots on south between 15th and 17th
