Vicky L.

Got the ube latte and Vietnamese coffee with pandan! Ube latte has a good and strong ube flavor without being too sweet. I got latte cause I'm lactose intolerant and it was nice to be able to get plant based milk. The pandan was also strong but a little too sweet for me personally but I think most things are too sweet. Overall will definitely be back!

Salted caramel coffee

Càphin is one of my favorite coffee shops in Minneapolis. It offers specialty drinks using Vietnamese-grown beans and matcha. In addition, they have stuff from their bakery and weekly pop ups within the local community. Their staff are friendly and the interior is well lit and comforting. Though it is small with less than 10 tables, they utilize their space well and I've often been able to find seating.

Strawberry matcha

This has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in the Twin Cities. I love Vietnamese coffee, and Caphin does it exceptionally well. Easily some of the best I've had. They're also part of the Coffee Passport from 16oz Days, which is a fun bonus since you can get a BOGO stamp while trying something new. The drink menu is creative and everything I've tried has been fantastic. So far I've had the Ube Dream, the Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng), and the Strawberry Matcha. All of them were amazing, but the egg coffee is my personal favorite. It's incredibly creamy, unique, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. They also have a great selection of pastries, including gluten free options. The shop itself is on the smaller side and located in a strip mall with a decent amount of parking. Because it's cozy, seating can fill up quickly during busy times, so don't be surprised if it's standing room only when you walk in. Their mobile ordering system is also super convenient. The staff is always friendly and happy to give recommendations, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a must visit if you love Vietnamese coffee.

Ube dream with oatmilk (left) Latte 3shits of espresso and whole milk(right) - both were delicious!!!
Nicole N.

Decided to stop here on a lazy Saturday afternoon and had no regrets! This place is located in a strip mall with a fair amount of parking. This is a smaller establishment, so don't be surprised if when you come in, there isn't a place to sit during peak times! This place is dog friendly! Yes, you can bring your dog inside! With that being said, please be respectful. We saw some adorable well behaved doggies! We also saw one that was barking and growling. You know your dog, make the right choice... The decor inside this place is so cute! Floral and modern! Very cozy! There a plug in's next to the green couch and brown chairs. Not sure about anywhere else. We got the Ube dream with oatmilk and a latte with whole milk and 3 shots of Espresso. Both were truly delicious! We would definitely come back!! If you are in the area, give this place a try! The staff were super nice and I love supporting small businesses!!

Banana matcha large
Lily D.

Always a busy spot during the weekends - because the coffee is so good! Egg coffee can come hot or cold - I've always ordered the hot, and I recommend it that way! The egg foam is creamy, sweet, and thick. The coffee balances everything out, also very tasty on its own. Banana Matcha is a seasonal drink. A sweet drink that only comes in large, but you'll want a large anyways!

Banana Latte and Ube Dream
Deborah C.

I was excited to try this place out since I always love coffee shops that incorporate Asian flavors. We came on a Friday morning and we thankfully managed to grab a table because it got pretty busy. My partner wanted to get some work done on his laptop and it seems like only the two tables right when you walk in are in course proximity to the outlets. There's free wifi and two bathrooms it's definitely a good place to hang out for a while or just catch up with a friend. I got the Ube Dream, which I really enjoyed. It had the right balance of ube flavoring. I would definitely try out more of their menu next time I'm in town!

Egg coffee
Anushka M.

Cute cafe within a small strip mall, making parking easy. I always love a Vietnamese coffee spot and Caphin had exactly what I wanted. The egg coffee was delicious. It definitely needs to be mixed very well but it's the perfect blend of coffee and the egg cream sweetness.

Miranda M.

Great coffee! I have tried their matcha from the truck so I have been wanting to come to their cafe for their coffee! Salted caramel is a 10/10 if you don't like the bitterness of regular viet coffee. Pastries are okay; mine was a bit cold and not a lot of options in general. They have two gender neutral bathrooms but not a lot of seatings. Vibes are kinda cute and charming but I wouldn't dine in on a really cold day because a lot of the seating is right in front of the day .

Banana latte
Destiny H.

Yesterday I met a friend for coffee and it was awesome to see how busy this place was! We were lucky to get a table and then ordered our drinks. I got a banana latte and it was sooooo amazing! It was a nice treat for a cold weekend. My friend and I spent a few hours there and it wasn't too loud and a nice vibe! Also loved that they are dog friendly so my pup got to come hang out! Can't wait to come back!

Vanilla Cold Brew, Splash of Almond Milk, Cherry Cold Foam

Stopped in mid Saturday morning after a yoga class next door. It was busy but the line to order moved fast. They specialize in Vietnamese offerings like egg coffee and Mochi bagels but also had a great matcha menu and I opted for a cold brew that was soooo good with cherry cold foam! The drinks are not only delicious but they're beautiful too! The space is bright and vibrant but on the smaller side. Will definitely visit again when in the area!

Pastries
Lauren H.

Gorgeously decorated coffee shop. Lots of delicious drinks and snacks. Love it here! Service is quick and friendly. It's a small shop, but I was able to snag the last open seat today while I sipped on my espresso drink.

Tiramisu Latte
Megan M.

We arrived on a weekend and it was busy which was awesome! I ordered the tiramisu latte with almond milk and it was delicious, it even came with a little treat on top! I love going to places with seasonal drinks.

Jami W.

One of my favorite coffee shops in MPLS. The pandan latte is out of this world. The service is always quick and so friendly. The decor is so cute with ample seating and a fun photo op wall. The dog pics are my fave :). Really appreciate everything they've done during the struggles in Minneapolis as an immigrant coffee shop. Keep up the good work and I hope everyone continues to support this great spot - they deserve it!

I was in Minneapolis for a work trip and found this spot while searching for some Asian food nearby…read moreand I am SOOOO glad I did. First of all, the restaurant is super cute. It has this tropical and airy vibe with a bunch of plants everywhere. It's partially open air with indoor seating too. I sat at the bar and they had all the windows open and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. It's a Vietnamese fusion spot and apparently a James Beard Award winner which I can definitely understand after eating here. To start the bartender recommended the shrimp toast so I ordered that along with the sweet corn wontons. The shrimp toast was SO interesting!!! It was like a shrimp mousse on toast. I honestly loved it but fair warning, it was reaaaally spicy with the fresh jalapeños on top. Still so good though I pushed through. The sweet corn wontons were AMAZING. They came in this super flavorful broth that I drank by itself after. For dessert, I tried their version of mango sticky rice, which was probably one of the most interesting things I had. They don't actually use rice and instead use this jell-o??? but somehow you still get all the flavors of mango sticky rice. So different and SO delicious. My fav of the night! For drinks I tried with the Life Aquatic which was a mezcal cocktail with cucumber and it was smoky, refreshing and overall just amazing. Then I asked for a lychee martini which wasn't even on the menu but they attempted to make one for me anyway. 10/10 execution because it was also amazing! I was genuinely impressed by everything...the food, drinks, atmosphere and the service. They even gave me a little taste of their slushies to try at the end which were super tasty too. Who knows when I'll be back in Minneapolis but I genuinely would come back just to have another meal here. That's how good it was!

This is one of those places that if I lived in Minneapolis I'd be there all the time. Every time…read morethe food is prepared perfectly and there hasn't been one thing I haven't liked.

Well thinking I would go to Pho Hua instead, I pulled intonthe Shuang Hur Grocer's parking lot thinking I'd grab a few things before heading north on Eat Street. Then I saw signs on the Shuang Hur building for a (new to me) Vietnamese joint in the same building. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! My Huong is an 8-top hole in the wall across the parking lot from the rear of El Nuevo Mariachi Restaurant. The place is homely, small, but brightly lit and plenty of day light through the picture windows overlooking Eat Street. It's a big contrast to Pho 79 type places that are dim and short on ambience. The clientele shows. Instead of just a bunch of Asians throwing down Pho, it's a mix like you'd see at Quang or Eat Street Crossing. I was seated right away, was greeted by a cheery Vietnamese lady, and ordered Hu Tieu Bo Khu (Beef Stew Noodle Soup.) It was a dish I haven't seen before even though I have been to so many Vietnamese places (see my other reviews and lists.) The dish came very quickly, and I was shocked that they didn't bring it with a veggie plate. Oh well. Well the best way I could describe Hu Tieu Bo Khu, its basically a pot roast over noodles. So the beefy broth like a less spicey version of Bun Bo Hue, with flavors of lemongrass and star anise, nicely garnished already with what would have been on a veggie plate. The broth was delicious, slightly sweet with the carrots, and the beef was fall apart amazingly stewed with deep flavor. There were other menu items like Curry Chicken pho and a Stewed chicken rice dish I'd have to return and try!

No-frills, wood panels for days, and the "casual" service your get at the best asian restaurants. My wife got the pho she'd been craving and it was decent. There aren't any "great" pho places in MN so can't be too picky. The hot and sour soup was huge. The picture doesn't do it justice,. That's a serving spoon in the picture! It didn't have much tamarind, was a bit sweet, and an interesting choice of okra; some of which were a bit slimy (as okra can get). The tofu was perfectly fried and had a nice bouncy texture. I much prefer Thanh Luong's version but for the price it's definitely worth it. Overall it's a great value and I will always prefer mom-and-pop operations over the sterile, corporate "industrial chic", neon-sign spots that are all the rage.

I've eaten here during transitional times, settled-in-and-part-of-the-community times, with my kids, and now during those increasingly nostalgic trips back to Minnesota. Somehow Qué Việt works for all of them. I love it. My kids love it. And I genuinely have a hard time imagining going wrong here. My formula is pretty simple: get the spicy chicken, add a rice or noodle dish, and drive the whole thing home with an egg roll. Especially the egg roll. Qué Việt has built a reputation around those things for a reason. The food is comforting, generous, consistently delicious and completely without pretense. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant that eventually stops feeling like somewhere you decided to eat and simply becomes your place. That's what Qué Việt became for me. There's also something strange about returning to restaurants you depended on when you lived somewhere. You walk through the door years later on vacation, order familiar food, and for an hour you're not really visiting anymore. You're just back. I wish this place nothing but good things. Thanks for a lot of meals, a lot of memories, and for still being there whenever Minnesota brings us back. If I could DoorDash Qué Việt to New York, I'd probably have a problem. Until somebody figures that out, it'll remain a mandatory stop every time I'm back in Minneapolis

I also expected it to have the fried egg as Thai basil chicken should but I suppose that was cut out for lunch. My friend had the Panang spaghetti lunch special which she said was pretty good.
