Saigon Latte less sweet
Linda K.

So happy to find this place, and Chinatown of Vietnamese coffee. Reminds me of Vietnam. Services super quick.

Banana Matcha
Francis V.

When you walk in there's a counter for ordering and a few tables with chairs. I ordered the banana foam matcha. The matcha was pretty good, I didn't care too much for the foam flavor. The drinks are a a nice size. When I first arrived there was one person there, she was taking orders and making the drinks so it took a little long to place my order. While I was waiting for my order another employee rushed in and started taking orders. They have a variety of coffee and tea drinks and they sell pastries also. The pastries looked good and were almost gone, so I think they are good and will try one next time. Metered street parking is available but it's limited on the direct street of the coffee shop but there's more spaces up the street or just around the corner.

Vietnamese coffee and hibiscus iced tea

The location used to be my favorite pastry and drink spot in Chinatown to go to; now it's NAM Coffee -- a new concept in matcha and Vietnamese coffee options. The ambiance was agreeable on my visit, the service could be, too. My choice drink, A Vietnamese iced coffee at $8 was OK. Neither robust nor memorable more, meh . I'll try it again in the future and will happily revise my review if impressed.

Strawberry Matcha
Maria A.

It's Chinatown so be prepared to drive for a bit to find parking. I went on a Thursday and struggled to find parking. Originally, I came in for a quick matcha fix but ended up staying longer to find parking. I got the strawberry matcha and it was tasty. I wish the strawberry cream on top was stronger. The matcha was good quality though. The staff was helpful and the decor was cute. Definitely not much space to sit with friends.

Egg coffee
Jeff C.

I liked it. Had a craving for some egg coffee and decided to try the new Chinatown location. Clean interior with a few tables and wall bench for seating. Also a few chairs in front. A good place to do a little work or chat with friends. Right now they're only doing iced egg coffee, but they said they'll be doing hot drinks soon too. They also have pastries. The iced egg coffee was good. Service was good. Friendly staff. Street meter parking on the block.

This is a cute little shop located just a short walk from our hotel. We really appreciated that they were one of the few spots in the area open early. They have a charming setup with a couple of tables and chairs both inside and out. We tried a few different drinks: Pandan Latte (with oat milk): This was decent and unique flavor, though it didn't quite blow me away. Banana Latte: A friend ordered this one, but it wasn't really for me. The service was very friendly and welcoming, which added to the nice atmosphere. Overall, it's a solid spot for an early caffeine fix if you're in the neighborhood.

Panda matcha
May..Lene D.

Cute coffee shop located in Chinatown right next to the infamous banh mi shop. What drew me here was a pic of their strawberry matcha but I didn't see it on the menu. So I ended up getting the Panda Matcha and OMGee it is Delicious!! Perfect sweetness, with a slight mung bean taste. This drink definitely made me a fan of Nam!

This was our first time stopping by Nam Coffee and turned out to be a solid stop. This is Nam's second coffee shop and located not too far from the entrance of Chinatown. Walking in, the interior is pretty bright with some tables and seats available. When we got in, it wasn't too busy and not hard to find a table but can imagine things getting busier depending on timing. There are various coffee and matcha options available as well as some beans and pastries available. We were recommended the pandan matcha (less sweet with almond milk) as well as the banana nut bread. Timing was pretty quick in getting our drink and pastry. The pandan matcha was great! We were a little concerned at first as all the pandan syrup wasn't mixing with the rest of the drink. But in actuality, this worked out really well as the pandan slowly steeped throughout the drink with each sip and wasn't overpowering. Yes, by the end of the drink, the bottom of the drink is basically all syrup. But for the majority of the experience, this worked. The banana nut bread also was delicious and not overly sweet. Parking-wise, we ended up finding street parking a couple blocks down after searching around for a few minutes. YMMV depending on the day, time, and events! Looking forward to come back to Nam in the future!

Great service full of smiles it's my first time here very friendly and trusted the staff to pick for me .. ordered the pandan it's so delicious ! Ceremonial matcha located in the heart of Chinatown .. indoor seating with music and assorted pastries .. definitely coming back

Egg coffee
Charlie N.

I've loved Nam Coffee's beans to make at home and to gift my friends since before they opened a coffee shop, and I had heard good things about their first location but I've never been. I happened to be in Chinatown for a cookbook signing and was surprised to see they had a new location - perfect timing! WHAT I ORDERED: Egg coffee THE DRINK: Tasted just as if I had made a fresh phin drip over ice myself! It's not as thick and sweet as other places in the OC make it, but I still really enjoyed it. The egg cream was also unique in that it wasn't a thick creamy layer as other places do it, but I liked the fact that the flavor was less "eggy" and more "custardy" if that makes sense. SERVICE: On a Sunday early afternoon, it was BUSY! Drinks didn't take too too long to come out but was definitely bustling. I recommend ordering online. VIBES: I'll have to take a closer look next time, but seemed more like a place to sit with friends than a place to sit down and do work - no large tables and I didn't see many outlets (unless I missed them). Decor was pretty! BOTTOM LINE: So happy to see a specialty Viet coffee shop in the area - I'll have to come back to try the other drinks!

I got the salted cream matcha ube and it was very good. The cold foam was a great touch to the matcha which was already very good. I also have never had ube with my matcha and will say that it was a great pair. The workers were very nice and quick. The inside was very nice and chill with good seating and decor.

Salted Cream Matcha Ube

Nam Coffee now has a 2nd location and this one is located right in the heart of Chinatown. To get here, street parking will be your best bet and there is tons of it around the area. They have some tables for seating inside and a couple seats outside as well. For their menu, they have a solid selection of different coffee and matcha drinks to choose from. Wifey and I stopped by for our weekend matcha run and she ended up getting the Salted Cream Matcha Ube and I got the Banana Matcha. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here!

Jessica G.

Not a first timer for Nam, as I have tried it in the other location and love it so I was super excited knowing they expanded their wings into Chinatown area. Parking wasn't a friend but wouldn't be a problem as I only stopped by for to-go order. They did have nice sit down space should you ever need to stop and hang. The menu selection was similar, with their signature Vietnamese coffee. If last time the pandan one got me hooked, this time I wanna bet on their Saigon Latte; said to be the lighter version of their Vietnamese coffee. I would say it's great substitute for you who wanted less strong coffee flavor and subtle sweetness as well as creaminess. To the opposite, should you fancy way creamier and thicker option, give their Egg Coffee a try. Worry not about it being eggy as it wouldn't given it's more like custard. More on the sweet end, but I didn't love it.

You're greeted by relaxing music, a minimalist interior, and a kind of quiet that's rare for a coffee shop. The sound insulation deserves a special mention -- you can actually sit down, slow down, and enjoy your coffee without unnecessary background noise. The simple, understated design complements the atmosphere perfectly. Just one look at the equipment and the way the person behind the bar approaches his craft is enough to know you don't have to worry about the quality of the drinks. During my visit, I tried the espresso, V60, cold brew . The espresso was balanced and pleasantly fruity, the pour-over was excellent, and the cold brew was properly made. Everything was prepared with care and respect for the coffee itself. Perhaps the most surprising part is how modest the prices are for coffee of this quality. Special respect for the house rules. They clearly know how to respect themselves, their craft, and the product they serve. Thank you again for the warm and welcoming service!

Being somewhat of a coffee nerd, a couple friends and I came in with high expectations, but the service felt off from the start. When a menu has unfamiliar drinks or conventions, a little explanation goes a long way. If the goal is to share a passion for coffee, I believe it's important to foster that environment for any and all customers. Being knowledgeable and passionate about coffee shouldn't mean assuming every customer already knows the menu. A little patience can make a first experience feel welcoming instead of intimidating. Endorffeine has clearly earned its reputation for specialty coffee, but the hospitality didn't match the quality in the cup during our visit. Great coffee can only carry so much when the interaction feels cold or condescending.

The patrons include bicyclists whose bikes cost more than my car, folks driving Porsches (the bougiest car of all imho), lots of performative tattoos, and more athleisurewear than I've seen in my life. And this is in Cypress Park, which to me is most famous as the location of my favorite King Taco (not bougie at all). So, is gentrification happening here? That's a big yes. When the word "elevated" gets used to describe menu items, that's a dead giveaway. And yet....that Mascarpone latte is a work of art. Per their website, it's a "Tiramisu inspired drink layered with espresso, mascarpone cheese foam, and muscovado milk." It's just as good as it sounds. And honestly, these days, $8 was a bargain. Shocking how many young people were up and ordering their custom drinks at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. I'm guessing the line gets really long on weekends. So order early! Five stars for creative drinks and free street parking.

I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves! There is truly nothing like a great business ran by a great person and you can tell there's so much intention put into this concept. Highly, highly recommend and I could not sing praises more!
