    Salted Foam Coffee
    Thuy H.

    The coffee was soooo good esp with the foam on top. I didn't think it was overly sweet and packed some punch to it. Space was very clean and service was nice and fast. We came in a large party of about 9 people. Didn't wait very long for our drinks at all.

    Pennywort and Mung Bean
    Vinson G.

    Tucked in the same plaza as Ba Le and Grand Palace restaurant, Levien Cafe caught my eye as I walked past due to their decor. The place is nice and spacious, with Halloween decor everywhere when I went. The fixtures were modern and there was even a small shop within this cafe that sells Pokémon cards. The menu is mostly Vietnamese style coffee, with other drinks such as smoothies and teas. I decided to get the pennywort and mung bean drink since I was parched and this sounded the most "healthy" drink on their menu. This drink is known as a herbal drink that has good health benefits. Although there was no one in line, the drink took over 40 minutes to come out! Everyone in there was already seated and well situated but I guess the speed the drinks came out in general was slow as people were barely starting to get their drinks a while AFTER I ordered. The drink was a bit below average. I have had this drink before and it did not taste like this. I saw they don't use fresh pennywort so that could be the main contributing factor. It came out of a bottle that looked like what I could buy at the grocery store across the street! I also noticed the fruit syrups they used so be aware that their fruit drinks do not use fresh fruit either! Overall, I would say try their coffees as that seemed to be their most popular drink items, but avoid their "fruit" drinks.

    There's an ordering station if you don't want contact. This is my new Viet coffee spot. Love the egg foam coffee with egg pudding. Also ordered the Viet coffee with condensed milk with coffee jelly. I came back another day and ordered the green Thai tea and red Thai tea which both were good but the green Thai tea surprised me. The green Thai tea was earthy and I came back the third day to order the green Thai tea and avocado smoothie. Spot is still in its soft opening so there is a huge open space which can be filled with more tables and chairs when business improves.

    Cold cut banh mi

    This place is in the same spot as the International All You Can Eat Korean BBQ Buffet (all my millennials know) from back in the day (early-mid 2000s). Their Vietnamese iced coffee is delicious and I can't wait to try the salted foam coffee. Their wings and fries have good flavor but I do prefer my wings a little crispier. But you can't beat the price. I also tried their traditional banh mi and it was very tasty as well.

    Egg Foam Coffee

    Popped into this cute viet cafe in South Philly and I came back a second time because the egg foam coffee was really good. I think it has a good balance between the sweetness and strong bitter coffee taste. Definitely kept me caffeinated throughout the day ‍ They have a couple of tables which is perfect for a work sesh in a cute cafe!

    Iced Coconut Coffee

    I got the iced coconut coffee which had the perfect amount of sweetness and server/cashier was super welcoming!

    I recently visited Levien Cafe with my family and I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their drinks/food. I got their Jasmine Milk Tea, which they made with just the right amount of sweetness and a nice tea-to-milk ratio. The ambiance of the cafe was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup. Service was friendly and efficient as well!

    New fresh bubble tea store just open about one week. Store clean and spacious! The sea-salt coffee is good to try! My baby and I love the Levien egg pudding in my Pink Guava Green tea.

The churro pancakes were robust, flavorful, and lightly sweetened. My son loved them. My daughter had the bỏ né (grilled beef skillet). The bún riêu was solid... it was large sized, flavorful, and even included short ribs. I will definitely get it again. My wife got grilled pork banh mi (birria tacos for the table) and she was satisfied with both dishes. The ambiance was nice with decent lighting and a good amount of seating for the brunch/lunch crowd. We loved the pictures of Vietnam on the walls. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We look forward to being a recurring patron for years to come.

The staff is very friendly and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I don't think I've ever visited an an hour where I've seen it not. Often a line going from the counter, down the stairs, all the way to the bathroom. If you're looking for a quick coffee stop, don't expect to be in and out of here. That being said, they've got some kinds of seating not typical of coffee shops, including this nice long U-shaped couch seating. You'll be around with other folks reading or enjoying their joe, but it's a nice change of pace. Working-wise, wi-fi is solid. Outlets are sparse. Hard to stay a long time here. Music is at least at a tolerable level to tune out and is not usually too bumping. Staff here are quick, but won't be the friendliest. They won't be rude either. They're just trying to get through the line so don't take it personally Overall: would much prefer other places like Capital One Cafe for the reasons I visit cafes, but I can see this being a nice place for other more leisurely-natured visits!

The chai latte had great depth and spice flavors, and the Shakshuka pastry was a great mix of flaky puff pastry and strong tomato and egg flavors. Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!
