    Pandan coffee
    Andrew Y.

    Staff was very friendly and fast. Pretty quiet environment with people working on their laptops and calm music playing I ordered the pandan coffee less sweet. It truly was less sweet. I really tasted the coffee element rather than having it as a sweet treat, so I'd say stick to regular sugar if you want something sweet. The pandan flavor wasn't very heavy (possibly due to the less sugar) but was still enjoyable, and the coffee wasn't overwhelming. I'd say the coffee isn't as strong as some other places, which could be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. It gave me the energy that I needed for the day without having me jittery or bouncing off the walls Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Very good coffee and flavors and I would definitely come back to try more drinks. I definitely recommend this place

    I was stoked to find a nearby coffee shop with corn latte! The shop itself very cute & aesthetic. Their menu has unique Asian flavors both coffee & matcha. Pandan, ube, corn, banana, pina colada, etc flavors. It sounded very promising. We had the corn latte and banana matcha. The flavor for banana and corn was spot on, tasted very true to the fruit/vegetable itself. However, the coffee and matcha flavor and strength was lacking. I didn't get my daily caffeine dose and had to drink an at home coffee later to get my energy. While the drinks had flavor they weren't as creamy and strong in the caffeine. We got less sweet which was a good call bc it was still sweet.

    Coconut coffee

    UGH SO GOOD!!!!! I love coconut coffee viet cafes always go crazy. I want one of these every day

    After trying the Campbell location, I wanted to check out this one. It is much smaller, bust still has plenty of seating. The menu doesn't offer the flights, but I only came for one thing and one thing only. BANANA MATCHA OAT MILK LATTE, duh. It was pretty good, love the fresh banana and creamy oat milk, but considering I had just had one from the Campbell location the day before, it didn't taste exactly the same. I preferred Campbell's. My partner ordered the Phin coffee and he enjoyed it, it does take a minute though. He also liked the banana matcha latte with regular milk. Anyway, service was quick and friendly. There was an accidental extra charge on our order and they corrected it. No pet friendly seating outside.

    Pork and Pate Bahn Mi with extra veggies?, pandan waffle and Tropical Zest
    Elaine Y.

    I was SO EXCITED when I heard Phin Cafe opened close by. Had to stop by and try their drinks and ended up going back again to try their Bahn Mi and Pandan Waffle as well. First time we went we got various coffee drinks like the Pandan, Nutella Banana, Egg... what's nice is you can substitute the milk with oat milk for those of us who are a bit lactose intolerant. All the drinks were delicious and not too sweet. I'm so glad I got the LARGE Nutella Banana Coffee drink. What an amazing delicious combo!! We also got their Pork and Pate Chaud and their Mushroom Chaud. Both were delicious. They have different Chaud offerings depending on the day so we were fortunate to have different choices. Later in the week - hubby and I went back to try their Bahn Mi, pandan waffle and their Tropical Zest drink. Their Pandan Waffle - the BEST every - even better than the ones I would get in Viet Town so definitely coming here for my pandan waffle cravings. It was HUGE, fluffy and had the perfect pandan flavor with it not being too sweet. And their Tropical Zest was refreshing and next time I'm getting a large!! The disappointment for me was the Bahn Mi. We got the pork and pate bahn mi with extra veggies that I paid 50 cents more for. I guess I'm used to shredded pickled veggies and they do huge cucumber bites with chunks of carrots? Not sure where the "extra" was? The bread has a weird texture on the outside crust - and the pate was meh. Definitely not something we will order again. Though they were super nice and cut it in half and wrapped each half individually which was nice given hubby and I were sharing everything! I am definitely trying more of their drinks and their pandan waffle is our must for sure!!

    Salted matcha & Egg matcha
    Anh N.

    Love this take on matcha. I normally get the egg matcha which tastes like condensed milk mixed with egg yolk on top of a matcha latte (I don't recommend it if you have a sensitive stomach). I also stick to their regular sweetness level. Weekday mornings are pretty empty but the weekends can get busy. The employees are friendly and drinks are made fairly quick. There are at least 5 tables inside to hangout at.

    I absolutely loved the Egg Coffee here. The topping is incredible--thick, rich, and addictive (like next-level whipped cream). A quick tip: I ordered 50% sweetness and it was still quite sugary, so I'd highly recommend dialing it down to 25% next time. The Matcha Banana was decent, but the matcha didn't taste like ceremonial grade, so I probably wouldn't order it again. Just a note that since Phin is a local chain, their food and drink options might vary depending on which cafe you visit. Wifi: EggCoffee Bathroom: 5379

    Pandan Coffee
    Anh T.

    Love this new location! This Phin Cafe location has similar dark-wood and foresty aesthetics compared to its original location, and they both provide a cozy space for working, studying, or catching up with family and friends. Nutella Banana Coffee: The drink was too rich and heavy for my taste, but I appreciated the blend of the banana with the chocolate-hazelnut that made a smooth, milkshake-light sweetness. The coffee was able to help detract slightly away from the heavy mix. Pandan Coffee: I enjoyed this drink more due to its fragrant and strong pandan aroma that goes well with Vietnamese-style coffee. The creamy and bold taste gave me a strong start to my day that nearly kept me up late into the night. The drink is also not too sugary!

    pandan waffle
    Therese A.

    Pandan waffle came warm and had a nice chew while being crisp! I recommend eating it warm and right away. The egg cream was thick and I recommend less sweet. The inside is very cozy with several small tables for sitting; the table was wobbly but other than that it was a great spot to hang out! Lots of parking in the plaza and other food places nearby.

    Hot coffee w egg cream - texture is super thick...
    Sung Hee P.

    I went here upon recommendation from my husband after a meal in the same plaza. My husband recommended the egg creme topping, so this is what I went with: a small hot coffee with egg creme topping. The texture is super thick. Like goop going down your throat, and thick cream that will clog your blood vessels. I tried stirring for a long time and even asked if they can remove the cream and add more coffee to even it out. But it was still a clunk of sweet cream goop than coffee. I tried my husband's iced version, and it was fine. So I would maybe advise on the iced version and steer away from the hot. They were nice and tried to be accommodating, but I think they have to go back to the drawing board with this one. Ambiance is casual for you to hang out w friends or study/work quietly.

    Lavender coffee - Spring series
    Travis B.

    I got to try lavender coffee, one of the spring series drink. Its a perfect balance of bold and delicate, i love how rich the coffee is in contrast of the soft floral note from the lavender (they had flower bits in the drink as well!) Highly recommend to try out this drink! I also love the vibe of this location, i could be here for hours for a study section, service is warm and personal as well. Totally would come back for the experience

    Such a great new spot to study, work, or catch up with friends! The café is spacious, cozy, and easy to find -- plus there's plenty of parking. They serve some amazing Vietnamese-style specialty drinks -- from creamy egg coffee to fragrant pandan and ube lattes, and even salted coffee for something unique. It was late afternoon, so we opted for something fun and unique such as the sesame rose Matcha (7/10) and a corn latte (7/10). They were both adjusted to half sweet and it was perfect for us! I think the corn latte would have been even better with some kind of a cold foam on top. There's also a small menu of bánh mì sandwiches and snacks, perfect if you're planning to stay a while. Definitely a hidden gem for coffee lovers and students alike -- especially with their seasonal drinks rolling out now!

    Man! It's the inconsistency that bothers me! Sometimes everything is just amazing, like my order on Sunday 2/15/26, but then I order the same thing on Wednesday 2/18/26: pandan waffle, unagi musubi, and egg coffee. The order was placed in a bag, so the waffle was a wilted mess. The musubi was tiny, and torn, and there was barely any unagi in it. How can the quality be so inconsistent? And why is half of my drink cream? I love it when it's right, but when it's wrong...it's TERRIBLY wrong.

I ended up ordering a Klepon which is an espresso based latte with coconut milk, Pandan syrup made with palm sugar, coconut flakes! This had such distinctive flavoring that played homage to south East Asian flavors and was so comforting, especially when it was served hot. I love how balanced the pandan and palm sugar was. It wasn't too sweet at all! I am eager to try more flavors here. Service was fast and quick and only took max 10 minutes to get my drink even with a line. I heard they are opening a store front - you definitely have a unique selling point in the South Bay! Rooting for your success!

When you're craving an affogato, you want more than a few spoonfuls! Small cup aside, the quality was there. Perfect rainy day spot.
