    Com Tam and Bahn Mi
    Amy L.

    Everything was authentic and so delicious. We just came back from Vietnam and we really love this place.

    It was difficult to find street parking, we had to park a few blocks down in a nearby neighborhood. I got their pandan coffee and it was good but so strong!!! The pandan cream definitely helped sweeten the drink up though.

    Pandan Latte
    Stephanie C.

    The Pandan Latte was 10/10. The barista was knowledgeable and helped me decide between it and the black sesame latter. The pandan only comes iced which is fine. The coconut base and pandan flavor really come through. The latte was strong and sweet. A decent place to bring your laptop to work if you can find a table. Most seats were occupied on a weekday morning.

    This place is honestly such a treat. I got the salty coffee and it was delicious and I would consider it a better dessert than going to an actual dessert shop. I think the saltiness really brought out a lot of flavor and it was so incredibly creamy. But don't get me wrong, I definitely felt some of the caffeine as well! The place has nice ambiance and lighting as well. It makes it pretty easy to just sit down and catch up with friends. I would definitely recommend this place as a unique drink and dessert shop.

    After seeing the online hype, I was set on trying Aroom while in Seattle. The morning we departed we walked over, waited in line, and probably an additional 10 minutes for our two drinks to be made. Unfortunately I was given the wrong drink and it was too late to go back and exchange because we had the ferry to catch. I ordered the an iced pandan latte and believe I was given the egg. Coffee was sweet and strong, but not the drink I was looking for.

    "Salty Coffee"
    Katie S.

    I really enjoyed the "salty coffee" drink from Aroom while I was in Seattle recently. I had never had Vietnamese coffee, so I was excited to try something a little different than what I'm used to. Definitely the best latte I had while in Seattle because it was unique and had great flavor. Unfortunately I did not try any food, but I did sit inside for a bit and enjoy the clean, modern atmosphere. It was not busy and I got my coffee in a timely manner. This spot is also really close to the water, so it's a great stop if you are walking by the piers, shops, etc. in the downtown area.

    Pandan latte, egg coffee, banana coffee

    Tasty Vietnamese coffee with a curated menu highlighting both traditional and modern flavors. The phin dripped coffee is robust and gives you that immediate rush of caffeine. The egg coffee is both sweet and bold, giving a custard-like effect. The banana coffee is infused with real banana and Nutella but didn't overpower the coffee. It's so well balanced! The pandan latte is lightly fragrant and reminds me of how a sweet and floral perfume would taste. It's topped with a velvety pandan cream. Service was really quick.

    Came with a friend to chat and enjoy a tasty drink! Drinks did not disappoint! I loved the iced pandan matcha latte! Definitely a new favorite! My friend got a black sesame latte and she enjoyed that. I also tried their croissant but that was just ok, I did appreciate that the warmed it up for me! They have a few other pastry options. This spot gets pretty busy! Around 2pm it was a full house. We were able to snag a little table for two. They also have a bathroom in the cafe which was clean! Service was quick and friendly!

    Gloomy Matcha

    I've heard so many great things about this place and stopped by right before meeting a friend at the Seattle Marathon! Food & drink: (4/5) I don't drink coffee but I'm a sucker for Vietnamese coffee. My partner got one (not sure which) that was absolutely delicious and had a delectable foam top. For Viet coffee, I tend to look for a deep caramel flavor and a slight saltiness. This met all the marks. He also got a cinnamon roll, which was good but also just a cinnamon roll. I did love how fluffy it was and it had the classic spiced flavor. I got an iced gloomy matcha, which is a matcha with sesame creme. I thought this was just ok. Both the sesame and matcha flavor weren't as strong as I would've liked but I'm still glad to have tried it. Service (5/5): Amazing staff! I was a little confused when I first walked in because I didn't see any menus, but they quickly pointed me to it at the front counter lol. Other notes: Not sure if this is a place I would study at since table seating is very limited and chairs are small. As for parking, there's street parking out front and a bunch of free spaces around the general area.

    Sesame latte
    Jessica L.

    Yummy black sesame latte! We stopped in after hearing great things and it did not disappoint. The baristas suggested their favorite lattes and pastries. We also tried the sesame bun which was warm and flakey. Service was super friendly and quick. I like the neat ambiance and there was plenty of seating. Most had no back seating though. I do wish they had smaller sizes this was too much latte for one.

    Aroom Coffee is well-known and loved for their Vietnamese-style coffee drinks. A few of us were at Aroom catching up this past Thursday afternoon. I was unsure what to order, but the barista I talked to was really helpful in making suggestions based on my preferences. I decided to order off of their Matcha list since the Aroom Signatures would have been too sweet. GLOOMY MATCHA (ICED) - 7 +1 for oat milk The matcha latte was very creamy, and the oat milk definitely enhanced it. The sesame cream mixed well with the drink, and it wasn't too sweet! However, there was a bit of bitterness at the end that I didn't enjoy. Overall, good drink, but expensive. My friends got the Vietnamese coffee-based drinks and indeed it was incredibly sweet which the enjoyed. The interior is nice and and clean, and I understand why people love Aroom.

    Banana Coffee in 9/2025 (rating: 5/5)
    Lydia L.

    We first paid a visit to Aroom in mid-2024, when we tried their signature sesame latte and pate & pork floss house cake. Everything was fine but nothing stood out. The coffee wasn't strong enough flavor-wise, and the pate in the house cake taste weird. Time went by and we returned to Aroom in 2025 to try other items. This time we found our favorites - banana coffee and banana matcha were both super delicious. The banana coffee was very strong, both flavor-wise and its potency. The plain house cake was delicious too. The nutty cloud (vegan) was also tasty - they did a good job not letting the nutty cream overpower the coffee. My only complaint now is how much ice they put into the banana matcha - for $7 before-tax, the actual drink is probably less than 8 oz, as they fill more than half the cup with ice, even when I requested less ice... That price - portion ratio is insane even for Seattle...

    One of my fave Asian coffee places in Seattle! Inside: this place is so cutie and lots of seating! Parking: there's ample parking around the neighborhood Drinks: I got the banana matcha and it's so good! It's on the sweeter side, but I don't mind it. My friend got the sesame matcha and it's not as sweet I would rate this a 10/10 and recommend if you're looking for a coffee/matcha place that has Asian flavors

Fast forward a year later to a Sunday at 12:30pm and I finally made the long drive here without going through Aurora Ave since my GPS randomly decided to give my road rage some grace. This place has plenty parking around the perimeter, so it was easy settling in. Only confusion was finding the entrance to this place, but when I did I was actually surprised where I was stepping into. Inside is laid back and cool with plenty of seating for groups of various sizes. There's tables and booths, and I got booth seating for myself when I walked in. There's a TV playing sports nearby where I was, and Vietnamese pop music was playing in the background too. Menu consists of regular foods in most Vietnamese restaurants, though their provincial noodle soups and banh mi sandwiches caught my eye. They even have bún măng vịt (duck and bamboo shoot noodle soup), my favorite that I gotta try next time I come here! From my IG feeds and as a starting point, I got their bánh mì thịt heo nướng (grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich), which comes with all the works of a regular banh mi sandwich, though I was kinda surprised how brightly orange the grilled pork was. Regardless, it was tasty and the meat was juicy. The pork pate added a nice savory touch to the sandwich, and no other condiment was in excess that it took away taste from the flavorful grilled pork. Staff was very kind throughout, and refilled my water every now and then. It was also nice chatting with one of them about our day and other recommendations from the menu. There's so much to have on their menu so I need to make the drive here again to have more of their stuff!

I can't say it was anything super special but it was definitely worth a try. Food & drink: (4/5) There are for sure certain items that they excel at and some that need some work. We got the banh uot tower with heo quay, banh khot, banh mi chao, and com tam. I see the appeal of the eye catching banh uot tower, but unfortunately I felt like it was very mediocre. I felt like the portion of veggie and meat wasn't enough for all the rice rolls, plus the actual heo quay was dry with barely any crispy skin. I think they also forgot to give us the heo quay because we had to ask for it much after the banh uot came out. I would skip this next time. I would also skip the banh khot as it was on the softer, chewier side when my personal preference is light and crispy. Those who do like it soft will definitely enjoy it though. As for flavor, it had an extremely prominent coconut taste- it usually isn't so strong in banh khot so I wasn't so fond of this. My family did really enjoy the com tam and banh mi chao. I only had one bite of each, but I would get these items again. Their drinks on the other hand, were delightful. I got the tamarind black tea and my step dad got the lychee green tea.
