Review Summary

Phin Café is widely regarded as a charming and cozy neighborhood destination, celebrated for its inviting atmosphere, beautiful decor, and pleasant outdoor seating. Visitors frequently praise the friendly, attentive staff and the extensive variety of high-quality coffee options, particularly noting the popular egg coffee and other authentic Vietnamese specialties. While the menu offers some delightful food items like grilled cheese, opinions on the intensity of the coffee blends and the authenticity of certain drinks vary. Despite occasional remarks regarding limited seating, noise levels, or drink consistency, the café remains a highly recommended spot for working, socializing, or simply relaxing with a well-crafted cup of coffee.

Low level of hospitality. The staff were not welcoming.

There were no tissues or water provided. You have to go to the staff every time & ask for them.

I ordered a coffee to drink in, but they served it in a paper cup.

They make me regret for tipping every time I go there.

Don't go there to try Vietnamese coffee if you've never had it before. It's called Phin Cafe & has a picture of a phin filter on their logo. I went in & saw bodums & nut milks on the wall, nothing that screamed Vietnamese coffee to me. when I asked if they did Vietnamese coffee she said yes then proceeded to serve me after 1min. A phin filter coffee takes at least 5 minutes to serve a cup, this place seems to be doing whitewashing, either they gave me instant coffee or they sell cold brew. There's nothing wrong with that but be honest about what you're selling. Coffee was ok but I have a problem with doing what is essentially cultural appropriation only to sell subpar products

Cute café, belle ambiance chaleureuse. Les filles qui m'ont servi les deux fois où j'y suis allée étaient serviables & gentilles. Par contre, la bouffe n'est pas wow, mais all that matter is: cest quand même bon & ca fait l'affaire quand t'as un petit creux! 5 étoiles particulièrement pour le service & l'atmosphère mais pas nécessairement the food

Café sympa. J'y avais pris un cappuccino un jour pluvieux. L'ambiance était vraiment chaleureuse & cozy. La personne au comptoir était très souriante & aimable. J'y retournerai!

Super endroit ! Je recommande ! Malheureusement le egg coffee & salted coffee n'étaient pas crémeux comme il se doit.
