Unlike the majority of coffee shops I've tried in Seattle, Hello Em has ample parking right on the same street, which was a HUGE relief when I was running hungry and borderline hypoglycemic. When I walked in earlier this morning, I was warmly greeted by a staff member who, after I mentioned it was my first visit, thoughtfully walked me through their top-selling items. Bonus: while waiting for my food and beverage, I explored and was mesmerized by the beautifully curated aesthetic and Vietnamese decor, which was thoughtfully designed and made my wait enjoyable. I ordered an iced Cà Phê Brûlée (torched egg coffee), which turned out to be such a creamy, decadent treat once I stirred the torched top into the strong roast beneath it. For food, I was torn between the Sữa đặc (condensed milk) Pandan Croissant and the Ăn Sáng (breakfast) croissant so I decided to just order both. The Pandan Croissant was sweet and buttery, while the Breakfast Croissant was a protein-rich, savory blend of honey ham, Chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), omelet, and a light spread of mayo. I left full, caffeinated, and BEYOND impressed. If you're after high quality Vietnamese coffee and pastries paired with warm, attentive service, Hello Em is well worth the trip!!!!

Definitely a hopping place at the end of the workday. It's got a darker ambiance and it's cozy. It has indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, though we chose to stay indoor. Pro tip - the poofs make you sit REALLY low. The food choices around 1pm were dismal, and limited. Maybe they'd sold out, or maybe they just don't have a lot there, but nothing even looked fresh enough to warrant purchase. The other thing that killed me was the service. There was one person on the entire 4 hours I was there, and it made for an incredibly slow experience. It was friendly enough, if not a little dismissive. Prices are reasonable and there is paid parking across the street, but take that with a "for Seattle" caveat.

They have unique fall flavors and house made syrups like anise almond, brown sugar cinnamon, caramel, lavender, rose cardamom, vanilla bean, and a sugar-free vanilla too. Don't skip the special savory snacks from Seattle company Umami Kushi: okazu pan, Japanese grab-and-go snack of deep-fried buns dusted with panko and filled with savory fillings made with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients featuring local beef cooked in rich curry and vegetable stock. Your barista will heat it for crisp perfection surrounding the soft bun with a flavor treat inside.

The coffee was spot on. I had a breve and it was delicious. They have some great baked goods. I tried the cornmeal maple scone which was gluten free. It was so much better than I was anticipating. Not dry, mild sweetness, great maple flavor. I would definitely get it again. They had some other gluten free vegan options as well. My friend got the pumpkin loaf which was also delicious. It's a small shop so not a lot of seating but you can see the roasting machines in the corner and the staff are so nice and welcoming. They even have organic home pressed juices to choose from. I would absolutely go here again. The locals were so nice also. You can definitely tell this is a local favorite.

The prices are on the higher end -- like $20 for a croissant sandwich. The customer service is awful. This seems to be the case with other locations.

I'm not asking for a chatty service but a hello and thank you doesn't hurt. Service seems to be the issue with a lot of these reviews.
