    Mango sticky rice and hella good
    Angela L.

    Cute spot for Vietnamese tea with unique flavors that are hard to find in Kansas City. Easy to find street parking nearby. Vibrant decor on the inside and lots of seating. There side wall is outfitted with some quirky merch. The staff inside seemed friendly and were talking to some customers who appeared to be regulars. We ordered the mango sticky rice and Hella good lattes. Service was fast. The flavors were okay. I was excited for the red bean syrup, but I couldn't taste it in my latte. The Vietnamese coffee taste was smooth and did the job of keeping us awake. The ube hella good latte was more true to its description and you could taste the ube flavor. Neither were too sweet. But, they were a bit pricey for the quality of tea and flavor.

    Hella Good

    I had a Hella Good (cold) and The Mind (hot). I drank the Mind that day and drank the Hella Good the next day. I've always wanted to try this place, so it was difficult selecting just one drink. I made it easy and got two. The Mind was a nice, smooth coffee drink, just as I was expecting. I love mushroom coffee and it was on par with my expectations. I thought maybe I'd taste something different (due to the condensed milk) or exceptional, but not really. It was a solid drink. I would be tempted to get this again when I want a smooth plain tasting latte. The Hella Good was a good, cold latte... but I didn't taste anything special or different about it. Again, it was good. I don't think I'd get this one again. Now for the mochi donut. This winter cranberry mochi donut takes a starring role in my dreams. Seriously, how can you get a better donut? You can't. This is IT. The donut was chewy and light as well as tender. The coating was sweet, tart and tasty with white chocolate chunks from heaven. I LOVED this. I was mesmerized by the gorgeous plants near the front door. They were all just beautiful. The decor is fun and the place has a nice vibe. It would be easier for me to pay $8+tip for a cup of specialty coffee if the size was bigger. As it stands right now, I will probably treat this place as a very special treat upon rare occasions. But there is one more drink I really want to try. And can't wait to see what the next seasonal mochi donut is.

    I ran in freezing temperatures on my last morning in Kansas City to Cafe Cà Phê, braving the cold. It was worth it! Once I got to the entrance, I felt welcomed. They're inclusive and inviting and warm (both the weather and the feeling)--I love the colors and interior (and exterior.) There was a line out the door when I got there just after 10am on a Sunday morning! It was popping! There were quite a few patrons in Kansas City Currents gear over an hour before their game. I like their menu--lots of specialty drinks. I like how they have Vietnamese coffee and fun, unique names like "Hella Good", "Paris by Night", "Dirty Thai-ger", etc! I decided on the Hot spiced kobucha (holiday drink November 2025) and a Apple pie mochi donut. I was eyeing the congee but $5 for congee is a bit steep for me. They feature a lot of Asian artists--they have fun stickers, shirts, merch, coffee beans, and gifts for sale. Bathrooms are inclusive. Seating could be more plentiful. Many people took their orders to-go in the cold because there wasn't enough seating (it was so full and popular!) They represent and advocate for Asians in the Midwest well. It's like an homage to the culture, inclusive of all. It's Asian-woman owned and she's been featured in a lot of local publications. This is a must-visit if you're in KC! Service was attentive despite how busy they were.

    Mango Sticky Rice latte

    When I walked in, the decor and music just gave off this very cool vibe, its a great place to hang out for a bit. The menu itself is fun and creative, plus they have a few vegan options that you don't need to modify. I was unsure about what I wanted, but the staff had great recommendations. I settled on the Mango Sticky Rice Latte, omg was that divine, how sad that I don't live close enough to have this all the time. I'm not exaggerating when I say thats one of the most delicious coffees I've had. This place is great for many reasons, they are a safe place for minorities and the LGBTQ+ community, and we need more of that. Side note: The bathroom was not only clean, but so artsy!

    Truly one of (if not my top) favorite coffee spots in Kansas City! I love the variety of seating both indoor and outdoor on their patio. My fiancé got a vietnamese cold brew (left) and I always get the iced saigon (right). The baristas are always so friendly and the ambiance is just lovely. Highly recommend coming here for some vietnamese coffee in KC! Support women & asian-owned businesses today and every day!

    My Sons have been talking a lot about this place and they've attended all their events. We came and I had to try the Vietnamese Saigon Coffee. So good. Very comfortable place to sit and happened to bump into an old friend. I ordered another drink and didn't tell them I wanted oat milk. They remade it with no issues. Great Service

    My friend and I took a road trip to Kansas City and I had to return to Cafe Ca Phe because I loved it so much the last time I was here. I was also really excited for my friend to try it out, especially since she had never been there before. She ordered the Dirty Thai-ger, and I got their Cold Brew with Vanilla and Banana Cold Foam. As always, it was so delicious. Just a warning! Vietnamese Coffee is strong! Even if incredibly delicious, do not chug the drink, and definitely avoid drinking it on an empty stomach. Cute space! Friendly service! Street parking!

    What a fun place! Awesome menu. Very unique options from snacks, treats, to delectable coffee and other drinks. Tried the mango sticky rice coffee and it was divine. Not too sweet and well balanced. Coffee was strong here. Service was friendly and fast.

    KEVIN NGUYEN is one of drink on the summer menu. I appreciate that every barista hears me when I ask for light ice. The fact that in a 16oz cup I'll get enjoy more of oat milk , Vietnamese espresso, housemade banana syrup and those special ingredients you never knew would taste so good: star anise and peppercorn. Another delicious & refreshing drink!

    Victoria L.

    So cute! So vibrant! So much personality. Lots of stickers/shirts, local vendors/artists stuff you can look at inside. I loved the dirty Thai-ger drink i got. It was VERY strong, as i should have expected Wish i had the tummy and time to try everything!!

    Cafe Ca Phe is BEYOND just your typical viet coffee shop. When you grow up in a PWC like Kansas - you never quite feel at home, feel a sense of community, or feel seen. The owner Jackie is an incredible woman who started her business and has made such a Great impact on helping spread the Asian American culture I a place that has historically lacked it. Her activism and drive to uplift minorities is enough to keep me supporting this business! Cafe ca phe is always full of people sharing drinks, laughter and memory - good luck finding a table haha. The baristas are all a joy to talk to (shoutout to my girl Jessica) and I would highly recommend everyone to stop by and support this local business! Viet coffee use it's definitely not as thick, deep, and concentrated like some places - the coffee are definitely more similar to a latte/Bac Siu if that's your vibe. My favorite is their Thaiger

    This has been on my list to check out for a while now, and I was able to finally check it out. They have a good selection of Tian Tea, Not Coffee and Specialty Coffees. I and not really familiar with Vietnamese coffees and drinks so the drink menu was a bit overwhelming for me. I Ended up ordering the Dirty Thai-ger. This was a very complex drink with a ton of flavor in every sip. I am really interested in going back and trying more of there drink flavors. Darn the luck that I have a client two blocks away.

    My husband and I visited Café Cà Phê and were pleasantly surprised by its colorful and welcoming vibe. The place was vibrant and full of energy. As soon as we walked in, we saw a cozy couch and table seating, and to the right, there was a line to order. Along the way, they had a variety of fun items for sale, like decals, t-shirts, patches, earrings, and clips etc from different small businesses. I love when local businesses support others in the community! The staff was very welcoming as well. The café has a unique menu, and we both decided to try the Dirty Thaiger with low sugar. The taste was pleasant, but I found the oat milk a bit off-putting. I think it would taste more authentic if made with regular milk or half-and-half. Also, the price was quite high - $18+ (not including tip) for two 12 oz coffees. (P.S: Street parking might be an issue so be ready to walk if you have to park farther away) Overall, the coffee experience was just okay due to the taste and price, but I absolutely loved the lively atmosphere. I'm not completely sure if I'll be back to try more drinks, but I'm giving 4 stars purely for the great ambiance!

The reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because of the lack of customer service. Both the cashier and barista were not very friendly. They were brisk. I tried to engage in a converation about their pastries and they seemed disinterested and just wanted to move on to taking orders and making drinks. They weren't even busy. I arrived an hour after they opend and the place was 10% full. The food was good. I got the avocado toast and with a littl more salt and hot sauce; it was delicious. The place also smelled amazing. I was engulfed in the aroma of cinnamon, sugar and butter and roasted coffee. I could not have been happier except for the lack of warmth and feeling of connection and a sense of community one often gets in an independent coffee shop. The hot latte I got was good. Oat-milk was $1.25 extra which I thought was a bit steep for Kansas City. But I guess prices/inflation affects us all. The ham and cheese croissant I got was super delicious. It was better than the avocado toast. I would get the croissant again. The rooftop area was a vibe. There were more people up there talking so it had better energy. I think on the first and second floor, most people were just working and on their laptops, so it was overall very quiet.

I was looking at their non-coffee options and saw they had a local kombucha on tap, perfect to help with my overstuffed belly. On top of that I did buy a bag of beans; just because I don't drink coffee meant that I didn't have people that enjoy it. More importantly, the kombucha was pretty good and it was nice to sit and relax a little in a pretty cool space. My friend and I had a large space to ourselves near the front hangout area that was like a cross between a outdoor camping space.
