Café Beans is described as a warm, cozy, family‑run spot in Chinatown with a welcoming atmosphere and quick, friendly service. Reviewers highlight the coffee, especially the strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and the authentic matcha, as well as a range of tasty drinks and pastries. The bánh mì features prominently as a standout, with reviewers praising crisp bread, fresh fillings, and a satisfying spice level or balanced flavor, all offered at good value. The overall impression is that the place is charming, with a small, well curated menu and a friendly, attentive staff that makes customers feel at home. Some notes of caution include occasional inconsistency in drinks and busy periods or hours limitations, but the sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive and many plan to return.
I decided to stop by this place for a drink since it was raining so hard that it was difficult to walk back to the metro. The best place for strawberry milkshake in Chinatown! I'm definitely going back!
Les sandwichs sont excellents.
Mais j'arrive de ville saint Laurent pour en prendre, il est 20h c'est fermé & ils notent qu'ils ferment à 21h30… pas cool pour les gens qui se déplacent
Really cute little family shop in Chinatown. The son greeted me & took my order, really friendly kid & it was nice to see what I think was 3 generations all working alongside. I ordered their banh mi & an espresso. Both were prepared right then & there in front of me. I got to sip on my espresso while they finished making my sandwich, it was hot & smooth, not bitter, just right. The sandwich came out & they wrapped it nicely. Good size sandwich for the price. Really really good, had a nice spicy kick to it, I was tempted to come back the next day to get another one. Super fresh vegetables & just a really refreshing & filling sandwich.
I loved the interior of the shop, it was very cozy & unique for cafes I've seen. The service was extremely fast & polite.
Unfortunately the drinks were subpar. We ordered an Iced Matcha Latte that tasted very water & milky, the matcha was very weak & lacking in the drink. We also got a Vietnamese Ice Coffee which was a bit better, the coffee quality was great but not very cohesive, it felt like tasting cream then coffee & was a bit grainy. 1.5/5
tofu banh mi was exactly what i needed in the middle of the day. so yummy & the standout of our order. pork spring roll was also good. vietnamese iced coffee was strong & classic flavor. there are 3 small tables inside to sit at & good AC. if there tables are full inside there are some small benches nearby.
