Stumbled across this gem while walking around the St. Paul Art Crawl after spotting their little sign outside--and wow, what a find! Lots of great drink options and tasty treats! The vibe is cozy, relaxing, and effortlessly cool: industrial meets plant-mom energy, exactly the kind of coffee shop you want to linger in. I ordered a strawberry croffle and my husband got the egg coffee with cheese foam which he said is the best coffee he has ever had! While the strawberries were disappointingly small and it leaned a bit heavy on the whipped cream, the croffle itself was wonderfully flaky and delicious. I'd absolutely come back again--next time with my laptop :) read more

Been wanting to try this place out for a while and the coffee was good. Very strong and sweet. The parking here gives me anxiety though. The day I went there were so many roads blocked off so I circled around a few times trying to find parking. No parking spots marked clearly for phe coffee so I wasn't sure where to park. I did see some paid parking but wasn't sure if that was for customers. My sister and I drove separately and met up there so thankfully she was able to find a spot close by and I parked far away and waited for her to bring me my order. Glad we were able to try it though. It's nice to stop in if you are there for the farmers market or saints game but not sure if I would drive around that area just to stop there due to the parking. I will stop by next time I'm in the area for something and try their other items. read more

Decent matcha- there were too many crunchies on top but that's me being picky. Overall it was better than a lot of spots but probably wouldn't need to go back. Good banana flavor but matcha flavor wasn't as strong as I would've liked. read more

When ordering, it looks like they only offer cold drinks and only one size. I couldn't find the hot version of the egg coffee. The egg coffee is a Vietnamese condensed milk base versus a black coffee. The matcha was bitter, watery, and overpowers the pandan coconut flavoring. Pandan coconut has a nice flavor but it gets lost when mixing in the matcha, and becomes more of an aftertaste/hint. It would have definitely been a better ratio if the matcha wasn't watery. Parking is not the greatest situation, especially if the farmer markets or games are happening the same time you come. There's plenty of seat options inside. read more

What a fun new addition to the area. I don't get to Saint Paul much but Phe might be a good reason for me to venture to this side of town more! My son and I were staying overnight for a concert at Grand Casino and Phê popped up as a possible spot to try when I was looking for a good breakfast spot. Was able to find premium parking around 9:30 on a Monday. Easy to order, can do so on iPad or with the person at register. My son got an iced matcha and I got an egg coffee. Convinced him to get something to eat (selfishly so I could taste) and he got a biscoff croffle. I can say, I love the egg coffee! You get the strong viet coffee flavor paired with the sweet, eggy taste of the cold foam, perfect combo. I've had many an egg coffee and I thought this one was perfect. If you have never had an croffle, it's a must try. Crispy outside and inside is still flaky and soft croissant, love it. It was difficult to cut into at first, if you are brave enough pick it up and take a bite! The toppings are plentiful so I did not as I knew it would be all over me and the table. It was so good we ordered a Nutella and Oreo croffles Togo for my other sons. As for ambiance, there's a quieter vibe on a weekday morning. Definitely a good spot to get some work done. Everyone was quiet, not a lot of loud talking/chatter when we were there but again it was a Monday and might just be a quieter day. Comfy leather chairs, very modern and industrial flair to the place. Plenty of games if you bring kids or game loving friends to spend some quality time with. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area! read more

THIS PLACE IS SO WONDERFUL!!! I mean from the aesthetic, to the fabulous service and of course the coffee!! This place is an absolute gem in St Paul! Parking can be a bit tricky. We were lucky enough to grab some paid street parking that was fairly close. This place is RIGHT next to the St. Paul farmers market and would be an awesome place to stop by in the summer! The vibes here are so lovely! Cozy, sweet and clean! There are so many different seating options as well! My boyfriend got a regular latte and I got the ubelious with oatmilk! Holy cow! Such a good drink!! I will definitely be back!! If you are coming to study, the chairs/ tables next to the walls do have some outlets :) There is also some limited food options that did look good! Give this place a try! read more

Whew so this place is SOOO good. I honestly love the super unique flavors and combos. I personally had the banana latte and my partner got the pan dan whole milk matcha with banana cold foam. Extremely unique and delicious syrups paired with tastyyyyy flavors. They are also super nice and accommodating to any changes to the drink, they absolutely work with you to make sure you have a drink that you like! We loved this spot so much that we came back 3 times in a week because it was a hit. I also got the Bischoff waffle pastry and it was good but just a tad too much of that frosting stuff. Otherwise it went well with the coffee! Parking is meh, if you go during the weekend market it's especially MEH since every street spot is taken. Ambience is soooo cute and cozy. It's the perfect spot for versatility, you can study, meet a friend, or just enjoy yourself. There are multiple seating options from couch to large table to two comfy seats. The only downside is the bathroom which is really the Bullvino bathroom next door, kind of a maze but can't blame them for lowertown architecture!!!! Overall 100/10 I love this place and can't get enough. read more

My new favorite coffee shop! First off, the Christmas decorations are so cozy and comforting I could have sat there all day. The space is adorable, they have a few tables for larger groups and a handful of tables for 1-2 people. The staff were incredible and truly the highlight of the experience. They made me a lovely coffee flight, which is delicious! It's in Lowertown, so parking is metered and sometimes limited depending on what's happening downtown, but it's still so worth it to stop by. Will definitely be stopping back! read more

This was by far my favorite find during a short trip to the Twin Cities. I came here twice in two days, if that tells you anything. The coffee shop is located in one of the many expansive historic buildings that fill up St. Paul's somewhat barren but not unpleasant downtown. The signature Vietnamese iced coffee is very, very rich and sweet thanks to what I can only imagine is a copious amount of condensed milk. The pandan latte was good too, especially since I love anything that has pandan in it, but in fairness it didn't really taste much like coffee. read more

Cutest Hidden Gem Next to CHS & St. Paul Farmers Market! Stepped into this adorable Vietnamese coffee shop for the first time and instantly felt like I had walked into a Pinterest board. The decor is warm, welcoming, and full of charm -- from cozy chairs to Insta-worthy little nooks. Service was friendly. As a first-timer (aka indecisive coffee addict), I couldn't choose just one drink... so naturally, I went with the Phe Flight -- GENIUS idea! Four mini iced coffee drinks to sample? Yes, please. I got to sip my way through the menu and discovered my new fav: the Salted Caramel Iced Coffee - it's sweet, salty and smooth. And let's talk pastries -- because wow. The blueberry muffin was delightfully moist with that golden crumbly top everyone secretly judges muffins by. But the real star? The Nutella waffle. Crispy edges, loaded with hazelnut spread, and topped with toasted sliced almonds that added the perfect crunch. I could maybe fight someone for the last one. Perfect little spot for a chill study session, friend hangout, or mid-Farmers Market caffeine fix. read more

I ordered the Pandan coffee and it was okay. I wasn't impressed. But it wasn't bad either. They have stairs so you've gotta carry up your stroller if you have one. Service was great. The person who took my order was friendly and actually asked how I was doing. read more

Located in the corner. Close to the Saint Paul farmer's market and CHS field. Limited street parking nearby. No ADA accessible ramp or elevator. I recommend the purple lava. It's Vietnamese coffee topped with ube cream. So very delicious. The sweet and salty is also really good. It's Vietnamese coffee with a sweet and salty topping. The phe flight was just okay in my opinion. I love the drinks with the cream topping better. read more

While in St. Paul to check out the farmers market I seen this coffee shop on the corner and had to check it out. It's cute, industrial, had plenty of seating, even window bay seating. They had a board game shelf and overall was a cute, chill and fun coffee shop! Due to the area being busy there was a bit of a line and wait for drinks to come out but wasn't too bad. I ordered the strawberry matcha cloud and my mom got the rePHEsher. Both drinks were pretty good. I would go back to try other drinks as well as the croffles - they look really good. The only staff interaction we had was when we ordered w/ the cashier. They were nice and patient. read more

I've been here once before and loved it! But returned to try something new and was very disappointed. The first time I had the Banana Pudding Matcha (can't remember if that was what it was?). It was so good and the topping was perfect (it was a something salty and crunchy?). The interior is great and has lots of seating. Perfect before, after, or during the farmers market across the street. Returned again and found out the flights are not available on weekends (they forgot to take the sign down). So we tried the Ubelicious and a hot salted caramel latte. The ubelicious was not good. It's not very sweet and barely tastes of ube. And that's coming from a Filipino born and raised on ube. Honestly, I couldn't take more than a couple sips because I'm a sweet drink lover. The salted caramel latte was okay, nothing special. I was very unimpressed. Cute vibes but 2/3 drinks were mid at best. Maybe I should try more matcha drinks next time! Also would want to try the Banh mi panini. read more

We've seen this Lowertown coffee shop change hands a few times over the years and I am really hoping that Phe Coffee is there to stay. The vibes are totally adorable, staff were friendly and the coffee was delicious. I'm excited to try a flight and one of their pastries on my next visit. Highly recommend the Purple Lava if you like iced coffee! read more

Nice spot for a little caffeine after the farmers market. Cool, homey vibe right by CHA field and the St Paul farmers market. Nice window light and lots of comfy seating. I am sure it gets busy on a Saturday morning, but I came here early in the afternoon. No lines, plenty of seating and even street parking just a few feet away. They have plenty of foo-foo drinks, if that's your thing. The medium roast drip coffee was nice. I am pretty picky and it definitely met expectations. What would make this place better? Real plants, a few more oversized chairs and serving the coffee in an actual glass cup rather than paper. And the coffee could've been hotter. I probably wouldn't drive in from the suburbs just to come here, but if I am in the area it's worth a stop. read more

Grand opening today 7/12/25. Dragon dance welcomed us. We are one of the first 50 guests and we have free drinks and 15% off on other stuff. We have salty&creamy and purple lava (Ube foam) Vietnamese coffee. Also ordered a pistachio croissant to go with the drinks. Super delicious. Definitely to go place when working at my dt office. read more

Stopped into Phe Coffee while visiting the St. Paul Farmers Market--it's conveniently located right on the corner, just a short walk from all the market action. I had never been here before, and I'm so glad I gave it a try. The coffee shop is bright, adorable, and surprisingly spacious. There are plenty of cozy seating areas and even a little game shelf, which adds a fun, relaxed vibe. It was a Saturday morning, so there was a bit of a line, but the friendly chatter and warm atmosphere made it worth the wait. I took a chance and ordered the Salty & Cheesy Vietnamese drip coffee--I had no idea what to expect, but it ended up being SO good. Rich, unique, and totally satisfying--I caught myself saying "mmmm" more than once. It pulled me right out of my usual coffee routine, and now I can't stop thinking about it. Looking forward to returning soon. Note: Street parking only, so plan ahead if you're driving. read more

This was a 10/10 experience honestly! It was my first time trying coffee with ube and coffee with matcha. The other two coffees on the flight were just as good! I got the strawberry croffle and shared with a friend. I definitely need to come back and just get all four to try. Service was quick and the coffee shop was a cool feel with a lot of seating! Something that also stood out to me was that there were a lot of o power outlets. As someone who likes to go to coffee shops to work, it was not a struggle finding an outlet to use. read more

Coffee was just not good. Chai latte was bland, Ube latte did not taste any better. English Muffin Sandwich was the worst thing I've had since moving to Twin cities a few months ago. Ordered a panini thinking it would be better, it came with the most mid salad ever (which wasn't mentioned on the menu or by the person working register). The music was so loud I couldn't hear anything being said to me. Partner asked the barista if the food/coffee was ours and was just given a blank stare. I guess Gen Z stare is real read more
