Review Summary

Café 2nd Gen comes across as a cozy, well thought out spot with friendly service and inventive drinks ranging from strong Vietnamese coffee to nuanced matcha blends and playful toppings like ube, tiramisu and jasmine; the menu rotates seasonally and the croissant and pastries are praised for texture and balance. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, suitable for work or conversation, with small details like board games and a calm playlist adding to the vibe. Seating can be limited at times, but the high quality ingredients and creative twists keep many guests coming back, making it a standout go-to in the area.

Everything you order here will be amazing! Their signature ube matcha is a must try & their food hits the spot. Must try the breakfast sandwich & kofta sandwich.

The owner is always welcoming & the service is consistently excellent. Our favourite coffee spot.

The coffee & matcha are really tasty & good quality! I love the variety of flavours, especially the seasonal ones, which are really unique. The kafta sandwich is also super good, & the meat is halal. Its gonna be a new go to for me!
