Still had an employee point to the milk alternatives for me (instead of just telling me). Side note: I can't help it: I go to a lot of cafes! But happy to see they added new seating, a rug and plants!!! Very good matcha btw! read more

I really wanted to like Good Neighbor Cà Phê because the location is great and the space has a nice vibe, but the food and drinks were a huge disappointment. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese coffee, this isn't it. The coffee almost tastes artificial, lacking the rich, bold flavor and depth you'd expect. It feels more like an imitation than the real thing. I also tried the matcha, and it was equally underwhelming: flat, bland, and not worth the price. With so many excellent coffee shops around town, it's hard to justify coming here. It feels like they're trying to be something they're not instead of delivering an authentic experience. Between the disappointing drinks and mediocre food, it just wasn't worth the money. I won't be coming back. read more

Ordered the iced salted Carmel miso latte - new seasonal flavor. I was hesitant to try something new because I love the salted latte so much but tbh I think this one was even better! read more

It's a nice coffee shop and the sandwich is tasty. I ordered chicken Bunh mi but I forgot to mention that I don't like spicy chili. I got myself a cup of water and found a table to sit. They brought me the Bunh mi after it was ready. After several bites I realized that I had to remove the green chili before the heat hits me. read more

I would agree they weren't very welcoming but the product (match and latte and a banh mi) were good!

Came in excited to try this place but the vibe seemed off when we walked in. No greeting or acknowledgment from the workers. I ordered an iced matcha latte with whole milk. I order matcha with no sweetener at most cafes I go to in order to get a sense of what the matcha really tastes like and was left disappointed. read more

Good neighbor coffee We pleasantly stumbled upon this place after stopping by Kirari West! This place is a gem. Strong coffee with excellent menu of tasty caffeinated drinks with a modern interior. Staff is friendly too. I would have loved to order something, but I couldn't have any of the milk substitutes because it's only oat, almond, 2%, or whole milk options. I hope they add coconut or soy in the future! My husband had their good neighbor coffee, and it is DELICIOUS. Sweet with excellent flavors because of the orange, cinnamon, and vanilla syrup. Highly recommend that iced. It is very strong. Highly recommend this place and plan to come back. Great find! read more

Good Neighbor Ca Phe is a Vietnamese cafe in Portland that has both matcha and coffee! The shop was very open and had lots of tables for those wanting to get to get some work done or sit and talk with a friend. Upon walking in, the barista helped me pick out a drink and I decided to give the Yuzu Matcha a try! I also decided to try their Spicy Beef Banh Mi, but they do have multiple options of meat or tofu! I nestled down at a table with a view of the rain outside, being a good environment to just sit and relax. The barista brought my drink and banh mi to my table and both looked delicious! Giving the Yuzu Matcha a try, I was a bit overwhelmed by the Yuzu flavor. I would've liked for the drink to have a better balance between the matcha and Yuzu, nonetheless, a good drink! The Spicy Beef Banh Mi was delicious as well, the beef was tender and did pack a bit of a punch! The vegetables were fresh and was a good contrast to the savory meat. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had! The space is nice, barista was nice, and it's easily accessible! I would recommend those around the area to give Good Neighbor a try! read more

Good Neighbor Ca Phe is a newer Vietnamese-inspired coffee shop in the Nob Hill area. There is a lot of street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a modern and spacious setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different coffee, matcha, and banh mi to choose from. I ended up trying the Pandan Vanilla Matcha and it was solid with a nice flavor profile. Overall, I enjoyed the laid back and community vibes of the shop. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. This is a great place to come get some work done, meetup with some friends, or just to grab a drink and go. read more

The staff were polite and greeted me when I popped in. I happened across this spot on my way to Champagne poetry next door, and saw they had matcha and was eager to try! It was pretty quiet inside, I stopped by around noon, there were a few folks inside, they had a good amount of indoor seating. I ordered their 16 oz mango coconut cream matcha with almond milk. I was pretty excited for a creamy matcha given it had coconut cream in it, but I was a bit disappointed with how watery the drink tasted. The flavor of the matcha wasn't as flavorful as I hoped either. I tasted more coconut cream than the mango or matcha. I'm curious though how their other drinks are next time I'm in the area. read more

The bread on the grilled pork banh mi was so good. Light, airy and soft as it should be. It's on the expensive side but makes sense given it's in NW Portland. The shop is huge inside. They could probably add some more interesting decor inside to make it really stand out read more

The cafe is bright and spacious. I personally loved that seating is a bit spread out and didn't feel crowded like some other cafes in town. I thoroughly enjoyed my pandan matcha. It's light, and the pandan flavor really came through which does not happen very often! Perfect spot to hang out, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy some me time. read more

I was initially drawn to this location because of the Vietnamese iced coffee, but upon further investigation of the menu, I couldn't stop myself from coming back to the Yuzu Matcha and immediately had to order it. My husband ordered the salted latte and both were amazing. The café itself is very minimalistic and Wi-Fi is there if you wanted to do your work or school work in the space. I just have to give such a large shout out to the person who put the Yuzu Matcha latte on the menu such great flavor pairing. This is definitely going to keep me coming back. The service was amazing. The individual working was very fun and kept great conversation throughout our interaction. read more

My Pandan vanilla matcha latte was very good. I will be going back to try another flavor that intrigued me. There's ample space inside to sit, but honestly, as a cafe on 23rd, it's very underwhelming. There's no decor inside and the furniture is pretty plain. Hopefully they spruce it up, but I understand it's a new cafe. read more

New coffee shop alert and it did not disappoint. I had Good Neighbor on my list for a bit but I know they were closed due to some issue so I was glad to see they were open the last time I was in the area. It's a clean and modern space with a good amount of seating spaced apart in addition to some bar seating. Music playlist was solid but you can definitely come here and do some work as well. Their menu has some twists on your classics and I ended up trying their coconut cream house drink and it was delicious. Coffee was just the right balance and not overly sweet. I am keen to come back to try their matcha and other specials. If you want some eats they also sell some banh mis and they bring it to your table once they're ready. read more

This Vietnamese cafe has a contemporary and spacious feel. I went on a Sunday and it was really quiet. A lot of coffee and matcha options and I think they only recently started offering hot or cold options (I think when they opened in the summer they were primarily making iced drinks). I got the hot pandan vanilla latte, which was done really well, very creamy with just a slight hint of pandan. I also got the house special banh mi, which included pork slices and pate, and it really had an authentic flavor to it in a crispy roll. (Just a warning that their jalapeno slices were very spicy so be warned if you don't like it too spicy.) The person was friendly at the counter and service was quick. It's a nice, laid back spot to chill in the neighborhood. read more

We came by here for their soft opening to see what options they had for drinks. The interior was spacious and it looks like they will be adding more to fill it up. We ordered the pandan vanilla matcha and yuzu honey foam matcha. Both were iced drinks. I was very surprised at how good the pandan vanilla matcha tasted. It was the perfect blend of flavors and was not too sweet at all. Both drinks were well made, butI really did enjoy the pandan vanilla matcha drink and can't wait to get it again. read more

Cute, cozy ambiance, clean, and well lit for the upcoming darkness of winter. Chai latte was okay. Other menu items looked intriguing but more so the iced options which was not desired at 8a on a cooler morning. So it is worth a return visit on a warmer day. $6.50 for a 12oz chai felt a bit high for the basic-ness of it and a to-go situation but may be worth it if you're planning to hang there. The staff person wasn't the most friendly but perhaps mornings aren't their thing. read more

Really wanted to like this place because of its location. My coffee was just not good at all. Tasted weak and off-putting, I threw it away and I rarely do that. . Workers were sitting in customer chairs and only got up when I reached the counter. No greeting. No response when I said thank you. read more

the matchas here are amazing, and the service is always friendly, even coming in with random bigger orders. I work nearby and come frequently, and I've gotten a few of my coworkers hooked on them as well, particularly the brown sugar cinnamon matcha. Happy they're here! read more

Have been a few times and am a fan. Prices are easier to stomach than nearby Lela's Bistro, which also serves Banh Mis one block away. They only opened a few months ago and have free wifi, so it's a decently quiet spot to get some work done, though outlet space is limited and the interior decoration feels a bit austere. The last time I went, I had the tiramisu mocha which was delicious and very rich. I haven't tried some of their more creative banh mi offerings, but their grilled pork is flavorful and fresh, with a good amount of meat, pickled veggies, etc. My one complaint - and this feels weird to complain about as a person who enjoys spice - is that the spice levels can be very uneven. I've eaten Baka Umai's Carolina Reaper ramen; I've had to convince cooks in Thailand that I can tolerate "thai spicy" dishes. This is the only banh mi place I've been to where a single bite can be so full of jalapeno seeds that I'm furiously downing their free water to save my tongue. read more

new neighborhood coffee shop that has great space to chat with friends, some wfh, or even playing cards. this coffee cafe plays great music, so obviously good vibes. the drip coffee was solid and for food they offer bahn mi sandwiches. teriyaki chicken and house special were both yummy and flavorful. just what you might need for brunch or lunch. the bread stood out, crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. if you don't like spice, watch out for the jalapeños in the bahn mi. with drip coffee we received it right away and our sandwiches came out quick! check it out! read more

Our group ordered different banh mi and drinks and, sadly, came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth visiting again. Our pandan matcha, bac xiu, and chai latte all tasted water down. As for the banh mi, we appreciated that we could customize it by removing cilantro or jalapeños but it tasted dry. We did think the beef banh mi was the best part of it. They seem a bit short-staffed so I recommend checking to see how long it would take for food. It was about a 20 minute wait for drinks and food, but we enjoyed their clean and comfy seating area. The staff was very kind and friendly! read more

Roomy cafe, great beats/chill vibes, drinks & eats are really good too! Bánh mì đặc biệt tasted super fresh (!) and was yummy. Strawberry matcha was very yummy as well.

Ordered the iced panda matcha and matcha tasted very milky. I was told they use 4 grams so maybe they need to add more ice. Service wasn't friendly but wasn't necessarily unfriendly, the person just looked like they didn't want to be there. Space was okay, nothing to write home about. The oraProbably won't return. read more
