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.
Cute place but the coffee & matcha were very disgusting. Doesn't have any coffee taste, the matcha tastes like filtered water with oat milk. Was excited to get to try because they have so many good reviews. But I threw my matcha as soon as I walked out the door. Disappointed !
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.
First time visiting but the Vietnamese coffee I ordered was absolutely delicious & they have various options to tickle your fancy, well worth it & will be visiting again in the future.

I love to support local coffee shops, & this did not disappoint. Staff was great & super friendly & nice! I got their special butterscotch latte & it was perfect not too sweet but just right.
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.
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.

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!). :)
I love this spot! Beautiful location near Parc Lafontaine & a huge selection of beans & coffee accessories, plus the owner really knows her stuff & is happy to teach or help you know which roast is right for your tastes.
Love the vibe of this coffee shop...the Vietnamese coffee is on point, friendly staff, great decor. The bench & comfy seats outside add to the relaxing feel. A great discovery!
