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! read more

3.5 I actually love their egg coffee, it's delicious. I will say these drinks are soo heavy like I drank half of it and couldn't do anymore and I have a very big appetite. I would order it again. The strawberry cold foam latte was just not good. It was obviously syrup and the syrup overpowered everything and did not taste good with the coffee. Took one sip and didn't have anymore... it's very artificial The ambiance is nice, I like the colors, and they serve very quickly read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Nam Coffee - Strawberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Nam Coffee - Salted Cream Matcha Ube - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

Nam Coffee - Saigon Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

I love Nam Coffee. I've been to their original location several times and so happy that they are right in Chinatown now (they replaced minon cake). They're still in the soft opening phase but they have most of their signature drinks (Viet coffees and matcha) available. Excited to see their full menu once they go through their grand opening. They also have a kitchen at this location so they're going to have hot foods!! That's such an awesome addition! The space is not that big, there are only a few tables but they do have outlets and WiFi. Staff was great, no wait for coffee when I went mid-day and space is clean. They do have a restroom too. Only issue might be looking for parking but Chinatown does have plenty of $5 all day parking lots. Can't wait for this to be a neighborhood staple! read more

I finished up a ten mile run and was in need of a treat. Found this coffee shop on Yelp and made my way over. It's a short walk from the Metro. I ordered a less sweet salted caramel coffee and it really hit the spot. Rich flavor and a salty delicious sweet cream top. The service was friendly and the shop well clean and well organized. Nice spot! No hot options but it seems like they may be on the horizon. read more

Busiest visit ever for Mother's Day and post Dodger game. Love that their yummy pastries are being fully stocked each day now and keeping up with a larger demand. Every drink can be ordered "less sweet" if desired. Service is still top notch and so friendly and welcoming! If they keep up this busy pace they'll outgrow this location quickly, Great vibes all around! read more

$8 for a small vietnamese coffee feels insane. Tried their sea salt coffee and it was just ok! Very strong bitterness but otherwise didn't leave too much of an impression. Service was just ok. There was no seating left inside so we sat outside. Water tasted like tap water. Parking is street only. read more

Nice ambiance in there, there was street parking when I went on a Sunday. The coffee was good, I think I prefer the egg coffee over the ube coffee. I learned my lesson to never ask for light ice for Vietnamese coffee because it's actually really strong. I ended up asking for more ice and he was nice about that. read more

I came to LA to shop and visiting my daughter who lives close by to Nam Coffee. First impression is always good.. as soon we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and hello. The place is small And cozy. Outside was like 100 degrees, but they had AC on and its was nice and cool, thank god. I ordered iced egg coffee and my daughters ordered pandan matcha and strawberry matcha... we loved it. Perfectly sweet and refreshing. I did checked the bathroom, its clean!

AMAZING I got the Saigon latte AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go back also the marble bread is good hee hee

First time there. Had their version of the Vietnamese coffee. Very good. Cool atmosphere. Youthful vibe and in the heart of Chinatown

It was just ok. After visiting Vietnam I was craving some Vietnamese coffee and stopped here because I saw online they sold the coffee phins etc but they seemed way overpriced for the quality. I'm vegan so appreciate they had options but I think to cater to Americans they don't even use the correct bean in the drink I got. I got a drink and had intended to get beans and a coffee phin to make coffee at home but it wasn't worth it to me. Sad. I just want a black coffee Vietnamese style. I'll just go back overseas. Still, it's good this place exists in LA vs orange country or having to drive farther. But there are so many coffee options I feel no need to go back. read more

This is the best addition to Chinatown and very much needed! Now, I have a place to stop by for my Viet coffee before work and their employees are super nice and friendly. Love you, Nam! read more

I ordered the Egg coffee but my usual order is the Pandan Latte. It's my second favorite from NAMs. The foam is sort of custard flavoured but not too sweet nor to savory, the coffee itself is strong and you can stir it up with the foam for a more sweeter taste. read more

Love the new location! Service is friendly, the seating area is beautiful, and the music today was such a vibe! I had the Salted Cream Matcha Ube (amazing and very unique) and my husband had the Coco Vegan Coffee (delish!). I'm glad they're doing well and expanding read more
