Review Summary

Phin Café is described as a beloved neighborhood spot with strong coffee options, friendly staff, and a bright, cozy interior that works for studying, chatting or relaxing, along with a wide bean selection and appealing Vietnamese style drinks such as drip coffee and egg coffee. Reviews praise the quality and variety, but note limited seating and occasionally louder ambiance, variable hours in summer, and a few items that may be unavailable hot, leaving many patrons hoping for more seating, longer hours and continued consistency.

This coffee shop has a great atmosphere people don't talk to loudly & is very nice & cozy. The coffee was'inspired Vietnamese' it was good but can tell it's not authentic. The grilled cheese didn't come out hot but was still ok. The girls are the counter were nice but answered to me in English when I was speaking French, kinda awkward.

Really liked the latte! It had a good coffee taste, it wasn't too milky but it was still smooth.

The Thai tea was good, for the price it's quite a small cup tho. Would come back to try the other stuff.

Cute, perfectly placed café in the plateau.
Calm interior with many options for seating - facing open windows to study, couch for conversation, sunny terrace.
Exactly what was missing in the neighborhood! The vietnamese coffee is divine in the sun. Recommend their ban Mihs as well.

Only downsides (4/5 stars servicec) are the hours - should be open longer during the summer! It's soo nice its a shame we can't get more of it! 7PM would be nice to have tea with golden hour.

Also, more seating please!

Cute cafe. They have some cool options in the menu like the egg coffee. The pastries are good. There is not a ton of sitting space. But usually you can find a little spot to squeeze in. It is a corner café so it is full of light & plants.

Such a lovely cafe! Our coffee & Thai tea were just perfect. There is limited seating & it appears to be a popular spot for people to bring their laptops & work too.

Super bon café vietnamien chez Phin Cafe & endroit très cute. J'ai pris le cà phê s?a & le b?c x?u, vraiment bons. Par contre, j'étais déçue de voir que plusieurs items de café vietnamien étaient seulement offerts froids, sans option pour un café chaud. J'espère que cette option sera ajoutée à l'avenir.

Great café in the neighborhood, I love the cozy interior design, the drinks are really good & the staff is super nice as well. They'll make an authentic Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk if you ask (& it's not busy!). :)
