Banh Mi is not bad at all. I have the classic and coconut mung bean. I love the youth vibe in the shop and the decoration is also culturally rich. read more

Cong Caphe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I walked into Cong Caphe after a heavy rain, and the people working were so nice! They offered to let me use the washroom to dry off before I even ordered. The peanut butter coffee is fantastic if you're a peanut butter fan. There's plenty of seating inside, and there are a couple of tables with outlets if you're looking to get some work done. I've been before and I would come again! Their merchandise is cute too! read more

Cong Caphe located along Bloor St. W. near Howland Ave in the Annex is an international Vietnamese coffee chain that originated in Vietnam. This particular location was the chain's first Toronto location. I've been to their other location on Elm but it was my first time at this location recently. The store is small, with indoor seating for about 20-25 customers, which makes it difficult to find seating during peak times. They also have wifi there are well. I stopped by Cong Caphe on a Wed afternoon. The store was full and staff took up 2 tables at the back of the store as they were doing a photoshoot (perhaps on their drinks and menu items!). The menu is displayed above near the cashier (I didn't even see this until after ordering so I was confused why I didn't see the menu at first). Menu has a variety of Vietnamese drinks as well as sandwiches (banh mi) available. Moreover, there is a display of baked goods and other packaged drinks next to the cashier as well. Service wise, there was only 1-2 staff working and it took about 5 min for my order to be made. I opted to grab the $1 vina brew promo that the coffee shop was having, where it promoted their new brew. My order honestly didn't take much to prepare but 2 others ahead of me had drinks where the staff had to blend which took time. Service was friendly though. Overall, my vina brew tasted decent and strong. The coffee doesn't have any additional dairy or sugar so if you wanted to add anything the store has some milk and sugar near the back of the store. Overall, a nice place to grab some strong Vietnamese coffee in the Annex! read more

Loooove that Cong caphe is in Toronto! The taste and ambiance were identical to Vietnam! For those who know, Vietnamese coffee hits different. The staff wore the same green as I remember. I noticed the same coffee glasses were the same too. Coconut Vietnamese coffee is to dieeee for!! A little taste back home. Loved it. read more

The coconut coffee slush was super yummy! A light refreshing slush with a strong coffee taste. The brown ice coffee was yummy as well! It was strong and sweet.

Service was fast and efficient! read more

Oooh I like this caphe shop on Bloor. Nice decor, calming ambience, comfy seating! The drinks we tried were excellent and they were running a promo too, so my friend's drink was only $1. Service was efficient and tolerant of my indecisiveness :) We'd stop back again for more coffee and to try their snacks next time! read more

This is a cozy cafe offering a range of hot and cold Vietnamese inspired drinks. The seats in the window area and wood/earthy green tones added an extra comfy touch. I tried the Coconut Green Rice drink since I wanted something without caffeine. It had interesting textures and a light refreshing citrus coconut flavour. Excited to try some more drinks! read more

I have been craving and looking for a coconut Vietnamese coffee since I visited Vietnam many years back. Sooo happy to see Cong open in Toronto. I tried the Coconut Coffee Pho, which had more spices in it. Not my favorite but still tasty. Breakfast bahn mi was recommended to us. I'm not a bahn mi fan so it didn't do much for me. Black coffee was nice and strong! The interior is super cute with a nice olden day Vietnam feel. Service was expected and efficient. Paid street parking and in a busy neighborhood. Would love to have them open one in North York! read more

The first time I visited Cộng Cà Phê was in Hanoi. It's a popular Vietnamese coffee shop chain in Vietnam, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this familiar coffee shop name in Toronto! The interior of this location was more modern than the ones I visited in Hanoi, but they tried to incorporate some of the same historical elements (drawing from the French colonial architecture and interior decor). The space has some natural light which makes it great for reading or working. The menu offered some of the popular offerings such as different variations of Vietnamese coffee (both cold and hot) - lattes, coconut coffee smoothie, coconut green rice smoothie, coconut mung bean smoothie, etc. Notice a pattern here? Coconut in a lot of the drinks, which I love. The banh mi was just okay. read more

I visited on a Sunday early afternoon for a quick bite and coffee before the Santa Claus Parade. It was my first time at the cafe and was impressed with the design of the space. There's some couch seating up front by the window and some table seating just past the counter where you place and pick up your order. I ordered a latte, a peanut coffee and lemongrass chicken banhmi with a slice of salted egg yolk roll they source from Lala Bakeshop just down the street. I really enjoyed the peanut coffee, it was also a feature item. The banhmmi was delicious and filled with toppings. The salted egg yolk roll was the perfect treat to wrap up this quick meal. As we approach the winter season, I look forward to more hot drink options. I was looking forward to an egg coffee, which wasn't available. read more

I was there for my lunch and I had a lemongrass chicken banh mi and coconut coffee! Omg! I love their coconut coffee, it's like a frappe. It tastes so good, you can taste the rich of coconut flavour!! Can't miss it if you are a coconut lover. The staffs are so nice too, patient to explain the difference between the coffees. Just go there and chill, their seats are so lovely to stay there! read more

Cong Caphe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

On my trip to Toronto and coffee excursion, this cafe and coffee was by far one of the best experiences. The staff is very nice and the space is earthy, quiet, and somehow soothing. White Pho Coffee: 5 out of 5 They have a regular coffee blend and a Pho blend, with the pho blend being the stronger, more herbal blend. I got the white pho, which has a coconut, condensed milk blend with it. The coffee still stands out through the milk blend, though, making this an absolute treat of flavor for people who love flavorful coffee. read more

Thanks to Social media I noticed there was a Cong Caphe grand opening on Elm and they mention the "second location." Therefore, I had a look to see where the first location was and noticed it was on Bloor which was a better location at that time. I ordered the mung bean drink and really enjoyed it. The downside is this place is quite busy which mean it's hard to find a spot to sit down at times. I was unable to find a place and ended up doing take out. Let just say, I love this place alot that I went to the Elm location before my trip back to Calgary. I really hope they open a location in Calgary soon! I need my fix of Cong Caphe!!! read more

This cafe was such a pleasant surprise! The cafe was quite crowded when we showed up around 2pm on a Sunday. Most seats were all full, and there was a surprisingly vast amount of seating. There was a small line to order, but overall it moved fairly quickly and orders were prepared in a reasonable time. The interior is decorated to have such a cozy and intimate "vintage" vibe--reminiscent of Asian street stalls between alleys, but in the best way. The menu is actually quite a good size to offer both variety but not overwhelming choice, all with a pretty fair price point. I tried the coconut coffee, which comes in a slushy-like form. However, it doesn't have the same iciness that a slushy would normally have, it's actually quite smooth with very tiny micro ice crystals. The dose of Vietnamese coffee in this drink balances the light sweetness of the coconut, which results in a very delicious not-to-sweet drink. I would highly recommend trying it, and it's really made me want to try more drinks from Cong Caphe! read more

Service was amazing, the cashiers really helped us decide what to get and were very knowledgeable when our group mentioned our dietary restrictions. The ambiance was also really nice there was a lot of space in the back to study or a cute girls coffee chat! We went for the $1 promo in October but ordered we all ordered stuff from their regular menu instead bc it sounded so good and it did live up to their name! Coconut latte and kumquat ice tea were both stellar. The coconut coffee kinda tasted a bit liked an ice cap with coconut but it was 11/10 read more

CONG CAPHE . . I finally tried the viral coffee from Cong Caphe ! They have a variety of vietnamese coffee and tea, pastries and banh mi. From what I heard from orhers, this cafe is always busy so I definitely lucked out when I went as there were only two people inside. I absolutely loved the decor here ! . . Coconut Coffee 4.3/5 424 Bloor Street West, Toronto . . I tried the Coconut Coffee and oh my goodness! It was sooo delicious.

This is a relatively new Vietnamese coffee shop. The staff members wear war fatigues and the decorations bringing you back to the war years. We ordered a Coconut Coffee (medium $6.45). It was a slush. The service was courteous, but it took a long time to get your order. It may not be easy getting a seat. People stay there a long time, working on their laptops. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom in the basement, and it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

Addicted! Is all I can say. My sister treated me to Cong caphe, and I could not refuse her offer. I got myself the coconut smoothie (coconut slush over Vietnamese coffee). The coconut slush added a creaminess to the coffee. The coffee was not bitter and strong like Vietnamese coffee, and it had the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweet. Would definitely get it again if I'm ever in the area. read more

4.5 stars. Great cafe and I'm a new fan! Love the uniqueness of this Vietnamese cafe - everything from the drinks to the overall aesthetic inside is super different and not like anywhere else. The staff was also super nice and helpful with explaining what goes into each drink. I tried the coconut pho coffee and the coconut green rice - loved both of these drinks! The pho coffee is truly one of a kind and not like anything you'll try elsewhere - it has a little taste of the pho spices (very cool) and I found this drink super addicting. Just as addicting was the green rice drink - this was super refreshing and is something I definitely see myself getting again. The drink reminded me of the Vietnamese ice desserts I would sometimes get at pho restaurants. Definitely give this place a try! read more

I'm located all the way in the East end, but I'd trek back out to this spot just for their Cocount Coffee. It's sweet, with a unique flavour that reminds me of cassava cake. I loveeeeed it and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time. The banh mi is also really tasty, but didn't blow me away as much as the coffee. Be warned, this place is busy almost all the time and it can be difficult to snag a table. read more

If you want strong, delicious Vietnamese coffee, Cong Ca Phe is your place. We ordered a Vina-cano and a Coconut coffee, which were both yummy. Cong Ca Phe isn't a big place but there's plenty of seats throughout the coffee shop ... unfortunately there weren't any available when we got there. Would I go back ... definitely!! Wishing Cong Ca Phe continued success in 2024!! read more

I had been following this spot on Instagram since hearing about their opening! I went on a Monday morning around 8 am and was the only one there. As a result, I believe I was in-store for about 10+ minutes total from entering and exiting - disclaimer, the one making the drinks was under training. I ordered a medium iced white ($5.45) and a large iced white ($5.85) which is one of their most popular drinks. Though this is a traditional Vietnamese beverage available just about anywhere, they have a unique and interesting take on it. As expected, the coffee itself was strong and aromatic. I personally think that Vietnamese coffee is superior to others due to its unique flavor and this Cong Caphe's roast did not disappoint. I did see the barista frothing my coffee, which resulted in a light and airy drink. My favorite part was the sweetened coconut cream which was very evident and absolutely delicious (if you're someone who enjoys cold foam on your Starbucks, this will likely hit the spot for you). My biggest complaint is that 60% of the cup is crushed ice, which left me feeling like I didn't get enough to drink. I'm curious how their hot version might compare. While waiting, I noticed that they also service cookies of various flavors (which were huge!) and croissants, which were also big in size. A sign showed that they also sell banh mi but it wasn't available at the time I was there. Service was friendly but my interactions were short. When I was handed off my drinks, I was offered a bag which I declined but they had forgotten to give me straws until I inquired. Their straws are compostable which is great and though they are meant to be non-soggy, they snap like dry pasta (quite literally, feels and sounds) which rendered my straw useless when I cracked it while trying to stir my drink midway. The vibes are quite cute with a distinct look. I was surprised by the amount of seating present but I can also imagine how this place would get a little claustrophobic, especially with the dark wood finish which makes it feel even smaller, should it be peak hours. As per your usual downtown expectations, there's only minimal paid parking near this spot. read more

I have been eyeing this spot since before they opened. Admittedly their sandwich board outside with their coconut coffee is enticing. Had absolutely no idea it was their opening week. We waited in line for an hour! Not fun. Then we got into a super crowded business, again, not fun. Twixt two extremes, definitely had my throat act up the morning following. I would say it would be wise to have a capacity limit. It started to feel claustophobic in a few minutes. Not fun. Their decor, while nostalgic, eeh, wasn't all too impressed with. They have these book shelves, made from windows, with a distressed look, stuffed and I mean STUFFED with old books. Probably glued together. They are ugly. I certainly wouldnt wanna be sitting next to that. And yes, as Lee below commented already re. Their employee dress code. I am not at all keen on their uniform being remniscent of a war. Seriously think, internment camps. I understand the entrepreneur who started Công Cà Phê was going for a specific time period in Veitnam history and I truly understand how important one's history (the good, the bad, and the ugly) make a people stronger, resilient and united. However, I don't care to be reminded of a hostile environment when sipping my java. And that army green, eeh. Kinda does that. Again, perhaps they are looking to reclaim it. Idk. To me, ambiance is an essential component to dining out out, even if it is just for a coffee and I cannot say I would care to stay here for any length of time. Didn't get to try their bahn mi sandwhiches as they had sold out right before we got to the cash. I did try their coconut coffee, at first rate I'd give it a 5/10, being generous a 6/10. It got more and more enjoyable as I was sipping at it. The coconut green rice smoothie was communicated to be chewey, similar to mochi, yet that was not at all the case here. It was refreshing and certainly grew in enjoyment once sips with consistent sipping. At first rate a 4/10. If I were to go back I would be open to trying some of their other drinks and their bahn mi. Oh and I would certainly see if I could actually remove a book from those obscene looking book shelves. read more

Undoubtedly delicious drinks. My favourite one is the coconut coffee, a uniquely creamy and coconut-y drink that pairs well with their snacks. It does get very busy with rather limited seating, so it's not an ideal place to crack open a laptop to work. Beautiful decor and warm lighting, though, makes this a lovely option to take a friend to. Thumbs up from me! read more
