    Horchata
    Lizzie S.

    Amazing Vietnamese coffee! Great catering experience for my office. Amazing service and coffee--everyone left happy. Their menu is pretty extensive and they handled long lines of people ordering very well with an onsite staff of 2 people. Mint to be was pretty popular, but I also heard good things about lavender and the phin and earl and traditional drinks. I liked the horchata special drink. Not too sweet, but flavorful and yummy.

    Our company invited Phin Bar to cater and it was great! Their presence was so fun and exciting. They also had cute decorations and signs set up. Their menu was also plentiful. I tried their Thai tea and Phin & Earl and they were both delicious! Their viet coffee is definitely super strong so get the Thai tea if u want less caffeine. Awesome catering!!

    Amazing Vietnamese coffee! My office has hosted them a couple of times and it's always a hit! I love all the flavors but my favorite is the mint to be. Also I love the coconut milk instead of condensed milk, adds great flavor to the coffee. These coffees are strong, but I have had 2 in a day before and been alright just very awake not overly wired though. The owner is super sweet and explains everything. Normally if our office doesn't get use up the allotted allowance she also prepares extra to save in your fridge for coming days.

    Dirty Thai with crack - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Phin Bar is AMAZING! We had hired them for our company event to celebrate our Great Place to Work Certification and they were absolutely superb. They were easy to work with. I submitted an inquiry online and the owner Paula was very responsive and replied super quickly. It was easy to set up the event. She also came by our office to grab our custom stickers to add to their cups. On the day of, they were fast with setting up and making the drinks. All of their drinks are delicious but I highly recommend an off menu drink: dirty Thai with crack (their special cream). My mouth literally dropped after my first sip and I had to tell everyone else to get this drink!! Overall, Phin Bar was a HUGE hit with our employees and their service was AMAZING. Can't wait to work with them again. (also they had a banger playlist)

    I've never heard of Phin Bar before, but they catered at a company event and were the sweetest people ever. They were able to make drinks quickly while also being extremely friendly. I heard the lady explaining the drinks 50x and her energy never waned. If you're interested in having them cater, you'd be making a great choice in terms of service and drinks! For the non-coffee drinkers, they had a Thai Tea option which tasted authentic and delicious. From what I've heard, a lot of people enjoyed their coffee as well and noted that it was strong. Usually at events, companies would limit modifications, but they were extremely accommodating and allowed different requests such as mixing different drinks, choosing your milk option, topping with cheese foam, etc. Overall, it was such a great experience!

    Traditional & Mint To Be
    Irene L.

    Looking for delicious and highly addicting Vietnamese coffee catered to your office? Highly recommend selecting Phin Bar! Paula & Hoang + their team are very professional and have great customer service! We have had Phin Bar at our campus a few times already and it's been a huge hit/success and we are already looking forward to their next visit. They come well prepared with all of their equipment and supplies plus a great attitude to help kick start the employee's day. Their drinks are carefully curated and made - make sure to ask for the "crack" (homemade cream) to add on the extra boost. For those who are lactose or vegans, no worries! they have options to customize. I have tried almost all of their drinks and will have to say my favorite is the Mint To Be. Support your local small businesses!

    Phin & earl

    My friends and I absolutely love this place. It has become our tradition to come here every single pop up and than grab bunch together afterwards. We always look forward to amazing tasting coffee. They also have seasonal specialties if you are looking for something new to try from time to time.The coffee here is unique and special it's cocktail inspired and fused with the making of Vietnamese coffee. Vietnamese coffee is strong and bold. The way you balance out the boldness is with some sweet condense milk. They make it different here at phin with their own homemade special cream called " crack" haha it's really crack because it's highly addictive. Also, drinks can be made with non dairy for those of you with dairy allergies. Important note!!! Be sure to follow on Instagram to order ahead of time and find out when they are open. :) Coffee flavors: Traditional: highly caffeinated Vietnamese coffee Phin & earl- Vietnamese coffee with earl grey Mint to be- Vietnamese coffee with minty appeal Lavender- Vietnamese coffee with lavender Non coffee/ drinks seasonal ( time can vary when available) Thai tea- green tea blend with homemade condense milk Matcha Tropicana( seasonal) - matcha green tea with mango sweet cream condense milk ( my favorite!! ) I highly recommend checking them out if you're a coffee lover!!

    Really delicious coffee drinks! My first time ordering for the pop-up in Milpitas and the process is super easy and smooth. My husband loves to drink bourbon so I got him the New fashioned Coffee, I got the Lavender Coffee and the Thai Tea for my son. I ordered them without ice so I could make it home to my family and just added ice at home. I was pleasantly surprised that they all tasted great with all the added flavorings without compromising on the strong coffee flavor. This is a huge + for me because I get so annoyed when I buy coffee and it tastes like water. Totally worth my money and time. I'd definitely order again when a pop-up comes around. Thank you Phin Bar!

    I learned about this place when they were at my work and OMG soooo good! I got the Thai tea and it's out of this world. The staff and owners are SO AMAZING. They really put quality into their drinks. Everything is nice and clean.

    Talk about love at first sip! After hearing all the rave reviews about Phin Bar from friends, I was so glad to finally catch their pop-up in Milpitas this past weekend. Follow their social media for menus and pre-orders. As of now, you MUST pre-order and then pick up from their location at your specified time. Send a message to place your order, send your payment, and then wait anxiously for the Phin day to come! They also partner with other businesses if you're craving some food or dessert. I passed this time around but that doesn't mean I didn't drool over the photos and menu. Traditional. Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Classic and so so good. Just the right amount of sweet condensed milk swirling with bold coffee. Phin & Earl with condensed coconut milk. That's right, y'all. Coconut. condensed. milk. Say goodbye to your struggles of deciding between delicious coffee and spending quality time with your toilet. The house-made earl gray syrup provided a fragrant backdrop to the coffee and is a must-try for anyone who loves earl gray. I haven't had a caffeine buzz this good since the first day I discovered Philz. Can't wait until you're back, Phin Bar!

    Kimmie H.

    10/10 highly recommended for corporate event to boost team morale or energy to start the day! Delicious product and amazing staff--They were super responsive and very accommodating. Would love to have them again! Thanks for making me the cool manager, Phin!

    Lavender Traditional, Phin & Earl Traditional and Thai Tea
    Jennifer H.

    One thing you should know about me is that I'm obsessed with my Ca phe sửa đa aka Viet Coffee! I love the strong coffee taste with a light splash of condensed milk over ice. I got the Lavender Traditional, Phin & Earl Traditional, and Thai tea. I wanted to talk quickly about my favorite, the earl grey traditional. The coffee was strong which is just how it should be, but it also had a light earl grey flavor that didn't overpower the coffee. If I lived closer, I would be getting this all the time If you love Viet coffee this place is a MUST!! It helped me survive school during the week!

    Earl Grey and Vietnamese Coffee Thai Tea Lavender Vietnamese Coffee
    Aiza B.

    Great customer service. Robust drinks. Full of flavor and freshness. Everything is made in-house and you can tell the love these people put in their drinks. Can't wait to visit this place when things start to up. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee in Phin & Earl, and Lavender flavors. As a refreshment, I also ordered the Thai Tea. They can be made with a condensed milk or coconut base. Yum. To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of all of this caffeine . I'm normally a decaf or matcha kinda of gal, but sometimes you just have to give into your tastebuds.

We had two tastings, one upon signing the contract and a final one closer to the date where we were able to bring along family and a close friend. They served us full plates of every dish so we even left with plenty of leftovers, which was such a fun bonus for us! Throughout the planning process, they were very easy to communicate with and were highly responsive via email. It was super convenient having them coordinate the table design at their warehouse, including the linens, plateware, and glassware. While the design meeting isn't a "boutique" curated experience, their warehouse has plenty of options to choose from if you already have a general color palette and vibe in mind. On the wedding day, the staff was extremely attentive and brought us hand rolls before cocktail hour even started to ensure we actually got to eat. The live hand roll station was a massive hit with our guests and absolutely delicious. I also appreciated how open they were to our custom cocktails; I provided my own recipe and li hing powder for a pineapple li hing margarita, which they executed perfectly. Cost-wise, this is not a budget vendor and is on the more expensive side. However, the full-service, high-touch planning and day-of experience, from the tastings to the seamless coordination of all design elements, completely justified the price. You truly get what you pay for, and we have no regrets. If food is a top priority for your wedding, we highly recommend Michi's.

The wedding went extremely smooth with Michi's team taking care of table setup, cocktail hour appetizers and stations, as well as full dinner service. They also went out of their way to check in with us and our vendors to make sure we were all well fed. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious.

Went to their website to order catered buffet lunch for a board retreat happening the next day in Los Altos. As before site easy to navigate with a variety of options to tailor. The first clue that there might be issues was I wasn't able to see or select my ideal delivery time for later in the day. I thought they were already booked for the time. Then when I confirmed & paid for my order, the interface provided a message at bottom of my receipt that catering orders must be made 48 hours in advance. I did it the night before our retreat. (Made note to self to order 48 hours in advance in future) I was disappointed that the website did not clearly note must be made 48 hours in advance or message before I paid that I was ordering less than 48 hours. After making a decent size order for 9, I went in mode hoping to salvage this order. I sent email to restaurant and left a voicemail that night with intention to call in morning to ensure they can fulfill order or provide a refund if they cannot. I called in morning to leave another message in hopes they check messages before their Saturday opening time of 11am which would not allow enough time to cook & deliver. So while setting up for our retreat and searching for a plan B for lunch the hour before retreat starts at 9:30am, I discovered several missed calls. To my delight it was Lorena confirming that they can complete the order, to call back & that would need to pay $20 to deliverer (lunch delivery is complimentary during weekdays near to their restaurant). She left voicemail and text. When I called back, I thank her and Athena grill for coming through. Fast forward, food delivered in mobile hot boxes as expected on time by a couple, quietly arranged in the back of room, generous serving for 9, and very hot for traveling from Santa Clara to Los Altos. I confirmed with Lorena via text and expressed my gratitude who again was responsive. The food was enjoyed by all. We had salad (crisp w/dressing on side), grilled veggies (chunky cut that were firm not mushy), spanakopita (crisp phylo w/good size filling), vegetarian moussaka (would not miss the meat), rice (loose and more than enough for 9 of us), grilled skewered chicken (always moist), grilled salmon (first time and was good portion), and baklava (tasted home made). One of my colleagues asked if food was Halal, which I think they confirmed. Unsure if correct, so suggest contact restaurant directly. Brought leftovers for Hubby & Dad to enjoy. Made plans to eat at their restaurant so can enjoy other yummy dishes like their lamb. Thank you Lorena & Athena Grill Catering.
