4.5 stars and rounded up! Dropped by on a freezing morning to try their matcha pandan latte and pandan honeycomb cake, was super impressed! From the outside you can tell this is a tiny cafe, two seats in the window with about seating for 10 people, 12 if you really squeeze. Walk in and order at the counter, they have menu of Vietnamese-and-Asian-inspired coffee and tea drinks, I've been seeing them posted everywhere and have been wanting to try everything! Notably they're most well known for their pandan latte (both espresso and matcha versions), though I'm also curious to try their black sesame latte, black matcha with ginger, jasmine matcha with pandan, calamansi latte, and Phin honey oat latte (or PHO lol). For those not familiar with pandan it's a fragrant leaf that imparts a light florally flavor and scent. It's particularly used in Southeast Asian desserts and what I predict will be the next new trend as Vietnamese coffee culture influences start popping up stateside. I got the pandan matcha $6.55 + $0.90 for oatmilk, and the pandan honeycomb cake $6.95, another staple they're known for. The pandan matcha was FIRE. Perfection in a cup to me, I've been on the hunt for pandan drinks now that they're starting to trend in NYC and I'm 100% here for Le Phin's version. The amount of pandan flavor and sweetness (not too sweet) balanced with the grass light bitterness of the matcha was what I was hoping for. Their honeycomb cake was bouncy, chewy and delicious with plenty of pandan flavor as well. A little on the sweeter side for me though no complaints other than the price felt a little high though I get inflation and it's really quite a novelty item. I'll definitely be back to try some other drinks! read more

A very small cafe in east village with unique vietnamese flavors. Although the space was packed, it had a great ambiance. I would recommend getting there early or during off peak hours if you would like to get a seat. The pandan matcha latte had a very subtle pandan flavor. It was tasty, but the real star of the show was the pandan honeycomb cake to me. It was so bouncy and chewy, with great flavor. I also liked that it wasn't very sweet. I would come back just for the cake, and not any drinks. read more

Finally had the opportunity to come back since it initially opened. The pandan latte was solid. My partner got the pandan matcha, which I didn't enjoy as much - perhaps with coconut milk it would've been nice. Place is small, not ideal for a mom running in with a stroller but thank goodness for dad! I'm glad it's still going strong with the many people coming in and out. read more

SERVICE - located in east village on 10th st near tompkins square park - quaint and cozy interior with limited seating at tables and couches - can get crowded quickly especially during busier times - baristas are friendly and welcoming - drinks can take a few minutes to make as each one is poured to order - ambiance good for a casual meetup or working if you are okay with ambient noise - no restrooms available for customers MENU - Vietnamese inspired cafe beverages - plant based milk alternatives available for an extra charge - average price FOOD - black matcha with ginger (8/10): black matcha was a very unique concept to me. The barista explained it as using black tea instead of green tea to make the matcha powder and proceeding to make the drink as you would with regular matcha. I ordered it with pistachio milk and it comes with ginger syrup. I was expecting to taste like chai with the combination of black tea and ginger. The ginger was stronger than the tea flavor but also sweet, making it taste more like a candied ginger latte. I think it is worth trying though I was hoping for more bitterness from the black tea. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! Though would likely do takeaway as it can get crowded quickly. read more

Heard good things about Le Phin. It's pretty decent, but nothing special. The matcha was pretty basic, if I had to pick one, go for the Pandan one instead of Strawberry! The coffee was good but make sure to look at their menu inside instead of online. Some items can only be made hot instead of iced. Very cramped area with very little seating. However, the barista was very nice and efficient. I believe she was the only one working there and she was able to handle taking orders and making drinks very well. There was barely a wait and it got crowded very quickly, she was so impressive! read more

Jasmine Matcha with Pandan syrup....need I say more? Ok wow but this was absolutely worth almost $8. Not your typical matcha latte with milk base but it is a wonderful and unique alternative. You still get the notes of matcha and the jasmine and Pandan goes sooooo well together. I'm legit still dreaming about the aftertaste.

This East Village gem is a cute cafe serving Vietnamese coffee. The inside of the shop is a bit small, with minimal seating/work space. But! They do have free wi-fi if you did want to work (just note that it might be hard to get a table). Service here was quick and they also serve some small pastries for you to enjoy with your drink. I got the pandan matcha and thought that it was delicious. You rarely see pandan served in NYC, and I appreciate how fragrant it was in this drink.

My love for Le Phin knows no bounds!!! The best place to get coffee / matcha, get work done, meet a friend. That said, come early because it's a tiny space and it fills up quickly. I'm somehow never the first person in even when I come in decently early, so kudos to those early risers.... The best menu item here is the egg coffee, only available on weekends. The egg foam is so delicious, I would drink just a cup of it only. I typically get the pandan matcha though, always delicious. Also, get the honeycomb cake, it's delicious...but it's not always there in the pastry case.... Obviously will be back.

A cozy space to hang out with a few friends! On a Wednesday morning, Le Phin was quite empty, and I was able to order immediately. I ordered their matcha latte with oat milk and enjoyed my drink on their main sofa. In a peaceful environment, I enjoyed the taste of the matcha along with the portion of ice to actual drink. Besides me, there was a man enjoying true Vietnamese drip coffee with all the necessary utensils to drink the coffee. What a lovely space, and I'd love to come here again to try their other drinks in the future! read more

I really wanted to like this place, I drove a bit of a distance to try their exciting, signature menu items, Vietnamese egg coffee and the pandan matcha latte. As a person who loves these flavors, The whipped egg topping was tasty, and rich. not as thick as some of the other places in the City, but good enough, but that's where it stops. I was so sad after one sip of the actual coffee, it tasted like watered down, run of the mill instant coffee. I asked what kind of coffee they used and the guy said it was their regular, cold brew (pale), no actual Vietnamese coffee. I was livid. The matcha? A similar quality, with a complete absence of the pandas flavor. $17 down the drain.... I ended up at a local chain 10 minutes later. Please make coffee that is a least half as robust as Robusta. read more

I went to Le Phin for their Vietnamese coffee after seeing many reviews about it. The shop is super small, and its very cute and cozy. I expected maybe a bit more Vietnamese culture, but it was more modernized. The service was sweet, staff took our order and we got our drink not long after. The Vietnamese Coffee was not my favorite. It wasn't strong and a little overpriced for what it was. I'm glad I tried regardless! read more

Solid cafe featuring Viet/Asian flavors! I was in the area and stopped by for some pick me ups. The viet coffee had strong coffee flavors but it was definitely on the sweeter side. The iced pandan matcha had pretty good authentic pandan flavors and matcha flavors separately, but not sure if they truly went well together. It was pandan leaves first then the matcha grassiness followed. I do appreciate how this one wasn't too sweet and the matcha was well mixed. The store itself was intimate with only a couple tables and some couch seating. Laptops permitted on the weekdays but not sure about the weekends. read more

Ordered: Iced Pandan Latte (~$6): espresso, milk, and homemade pandan syrup Iced Pandan Matcha Latte (~$6): matcha, milk, and homemade pandan syrup Aya's take: We were in the area grabbing breakfast and stopped by Le Phin for our caffeine fix. Pandan isn't something found in most coffee shops so we decided to seize the opportunity being at a Vietnamese coffee shop! The Iced Pandan Latte and Iced Pandan Matcha Latte were both well-made, silky smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness and nuttiness from the pandan. The pandan syrup shined through way more in the Iced Pandan Latte than in the matcha version. Good try and gave me the caffeine kick I need to start my day! read more

I didn't like my drink but my friends liked their viet coffee and matcha Pandan latte: Overall maybe a 3/5 but for a pandan latte specifically I would say it's closer to a 2/5. It didn't really taste like pandan at all and kind of had an interesting flavor that reminded me of popcorn read more

This is a tiny place in the East Village that is as trendy as the surrounding stores. There's minimal seating, but it's quite cute inside. Everyone working was so nice and accommodating (they washed the cups/utensils used for making a drink when we notified them of a nut allergy). It's just that I wouldn't go to this place if you're looking for a strong Vietnamese coffee. It was pretty weak and more sugar than coffee. I also tried the pandan latte, which I have similar issues with. Overly sweet with no specific flavor because the pandan is weak. read more

I was excited to find coffee shop serving Vietnamese coffee, so of course we had to stop by after lunch. We ordered the P.H.O latte (phin, honey, oat milk) and pandan latte. The P.H.O latte was tasty, but I think next time I would just prefer a phin brewed coffee since I thought the oat milk took away some of the kick of the phin. I love pandan and the latte was quite tasty with a pretty strong pandan flavor. There is limited seating inside and it can get busy, but definitely cute and cozy vibes. I think if I come back, I'll try their Vietnamese iced coffee or get the pandan latte again! read more

Not much seating inside but the interior was absolutely adorable and I think it would have been a great place to sit and chat with a friend if you're lucky enough to grab seating (and didn't come solo, like I did).

I tried their pandan matcha latte with oat milk, but it just wasn't good. The pandan flavor was faint and the matcha flavor was nonexistent.

The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

They have promotions once in a while like BOGOs, so when that happens, wait times to get the drinks can be very long. I recently bought bogo drinks and the order line was empty, but the pickup line was long. It took about 30+ min to get my drinks. I'm so used to matcha and jasmine flavors now, so I wanted to try something different. I had the tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea and I liked it. Never heard of tongmu lapsang but Google says it's a type of smoked black tea from China. The drink had notes of hazelnut in it. I never had a nutty, chocolatey tea flavor combo before so it was refreshing to taste.

I ordered an iced matcha einspanner ($6.95) with oat milk ($0.75) and loved that it already comes with a shot of espresso, so it was essentially a dirty matcha einspanner. I tried each layer on its own before mixing everything together and it was all really good. The matcha cream is the right amount of sweet and creamy and you can taste the matcha with just a hint of coffee. Since I'm a coffee fiend I added a bit more espresso when I got back to the hotel and it tasted even better while still keeping the matcha as the dominant flavor. Next time I would ask for less ice since it was freezing that morning, but on a warmer day the ice level would be perfect. Would love to come back to try their other drinks or order the einspanner again as a hot drink.

If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.
