Ca Phe located along Parliament near Carlton in Cabbagetown is a new Vietnamese coffee shop that…read moreshares a space with a photo store. The coffee bar is located at the front of the shop where there is limited seating inside. There are a few makeshift seats available outside. The space is limited where this place is primarily take out only. The shop is accessible though. I stopped by Ca Phe on a weekday afternoon to grab a Vietnamese coffee. Staff were nice and friendly as I had trouble deciding what to order. There was quite a large variety of Vietnamese coffee offerings like a pandan cream coffee, white coffee, Hanoi egg coffee, lime salted cream coffee, etc. There were equally a decent amount of matcha offerings as well as some teas and non-caffeinated drinks. For food they had garlic buns, banana pudding, or croffles. I decided to grab a salted cream coffee which was made at a reasonable time. Prices were a bit expensive but service was friendly. As I took a sip of my beverage staff made sure to ask me if the coffee was to my liking. Coffee tasted great (and really strong!!) and the salted cream added an extra saltiness to the coffee which wasn't too sweet. The combo was actually pretty good, perfect for a hot day. Overall, a great new spot for Vietnamese coffee in Cabbagetown. They definitely make some strong Vietnamese coffee and have some unique offerings I haven't seen elsewhere. Overall, definitely will be back when I am in the area!

I love ginger beverages- it wasn't overpowering here, I mostly tasted the kiwi and sparkling lemonade. It was busy in there but we still got our orders and drinks quickly, I appreciate how fast the service was. My friend got one of their banana bread drinks - if you like the taste of hojicha, this was particularly strong which I personally enjoyed! Love how the store also has sections where it is like a little market selling local goods and always fun to see the dogs that are sitting outside. The prices are a little expensive (my refresher before tax was $7.5) but typical for what you'd pay in Toronto for a fun drink, from what I've seen.

I'd absolutely come here to get some work done if I was able to get a seat. One thing I really love is that they sell handmade goods from local artists and host craft nights, it feels very community driven and adds such a fun, unique touch to the café. Drinks I tried: Maple Goguma Latte - Slightly nutty, lightly sweet, and super comforting. I added a shot of espresso, which made it perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Dalgona Latte - A really fun drink with great texture. Just make sure to stir it well since the sweetness settles at the bottom. They're known for their creative, seasonal drink menu, and I'm already excited to come back to try what they release next season. Definitely a must-visit if you love cozy cafés, unique drinks, and supporting local artists.

Parking is available right at front or around the block - just make sure you follow the signs to avoid any tickets. Interior is much bigger than I thought. There's a lot of seating arrangements, perfect for catching up and doing actual work. Love the decor - it's really themed to the olden Vietnam days and I really like the retro photos and items that were used back in the day. Drinks I didn't get a chance to try the food, but the drinks were pretty great. I tried their peanut butter phin coffee - which was surprisingly good! It is a little bit on the sweeter side from the peanut butter, but I never knew it blended so well with the coffee - a great drink for those who are adventurous. The other drink was Jasmine Tea - a classic tea setup and it did not disappoint. The tea was strong and pairing it with the milk made it very refreshing that's perfect for both the summer and winter months. Overall this place is amazing and I really love the decor. Very IG worthy and the staff were very friendly and nice! I would definitely comeback if I'm in the area.

I have been on a Vietnamese coffee kick for the past year, and despite the fact that I don't handle…read morethe strength of the coffee very well, I've been eager to find as many Vietnamese coffee places as possible in Mississauga. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to go to this place ever since we saw it on TikTok. It's easy to miss if you're driving by Hurontario, but it's a nice little location with an extremely interesting ambience. Right off the bat, the decor is amazing and gives it a distinct local coffee shop feel. You are greeted by a nice display of sweet and savoury baked goods. I didn't get to try it this time, but I'll make sure to order something sweet when I come back. The menu might seem a little intimidating if you're not familiar with Vietnamese drinks, but I love trying new things so it didn't bother me. I got the Iced white coffee, and I thought it was amazing. It had just the right amount of sweetness. The drink had a slight nuttiness to it and that signature Vietnamese coffee flavour. I felt it had just the right amount of kick, without it being overpowering. My boyfriend got the Saigon salted kumquat. It had a very interesting flavour that I've never experienced before. It was fruity, and had hints of cinnamon. I had a try and it got better with every sip. My only complaints is that I wish they served larger sized drinks though it's completely understandable that they don't. It's probably for the best that they don't serve large sized Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I would definitely come back to try their baked goods and to try other drinks. They also serve bahn mi which I also want to try.

I would say my only problem about the seating area is that it often feels cramped with their rickety chairs and outdoor appropriate furniture. Their service is also nice every time and they're helpful if you ask them questions. We always order the Bac Xiu (around $6) from here and have never been disappointed. It's very sweet!! They have regular Vietnamese coffee and lots of other options as well, but I love the sweet Bac Xiu no matter hot or iced, it's always good. They also serve food such as pho and vermicelli bowls, but we always go for the Banh Mi. They have a few pastries and while their cookies are pricey ($4), it doesn't stop us from buying them every so often

Was talking out loud to a friend saying I was debating between hot or cold but decided to leave my drink as is. I got the pandan banana matcha and it was tasty although the banana and pandan flavors were super subtle. Nevertheless, they werent too sweet which is always a plus for me. Beautiful drinks. Saw someone order the flight of coffees and so pretty how they layer the different colors and line up the 3 drinks in a cardboard tray! Washroom is a dark modern theme and oh so clean! Speedy service despite how busy it was. There were about 10 people who ordered back to back and seemed like noone waited more than 5 mins for their orders even when their orders included food (they serve waffles too). Great customer experience. Parking is busy but exepcted in that plaza.

I ordered the Banana Pandan Matcha, and I was pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted like banana and pandan instead of just being sweet. My husband got the Egg Tiramisu Coffee, and it was so good. Both drinks were beautifully presented too. The service was super fast, and I also love that they open at 8 a.m., which makes it an easy morning coffee stop. They have a points rewards system as well, which is always a nice bonus. Overall, a great little café with tasty drinks, quick service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back to try out other drinks on their menu

They were selling the hojicha powder they use for the drink ($28, Kyoto hojicha powder) on the shelf next to the bakery stand, along with other matcha powders, coffee beans, and coffee accessories.

It's the food that was just meh. Stopped by for lunch and got: - Korean Pancakes: Prepackaged, it still was pretty good (i.e., didn't just taste reheated). The dipping sauce accentuated the sweetness of the pancakes. - Bulgogi Bibimbap: Bulgogi was really bland and a tad dry, so had to put a lot of gochujang on the bibimbap. - Bulgogi Japchae: Agaìn, band and dry bulgogi. The japchae was good - soft and sweet. Also, generous serving that is shareable. - Mango Banana Smoothie: A bit lumpy, and more mango than banana. But great for a hot summer day. Maybe it's the bakery stuff we should have tried, because everyone is raving about this place. The meals were just ok.

Quarantine Day 3: I'm really a sucker for cafes with awesome drinks AND real food (although baked…read moregoods do well too). For lunch fare for 2, I ordered way too much food: 1. A medium-sized side order of kimchi 2. Korean pancake 3. Bulgogi bibimbap 4. Bulgogi japchae 5. Bagel with bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato And of course, 6. A small matcha latte. I thought that the medium was a pretty good portion of kimchi. Probably enough for 3-4 people to share it as a side dish. The korean pancake was very yummy, especially when paired with the dipping sauce. I liked that both the bibimbap and japchae had a good amount of veggies. I found the bulgogi just a tiny bit dry. The bagel was panini pressed which was nice but it did toast up the lettuce which wilted it. The rest of the toppings were really good. The one thing I really didn't care for was the matcha latte. It was so sweet I didn't think I'd be able to finish it. The other thing is that it hardly tasted of matcha. The latte itself was pretty much white. That kind of told me that it wasn't mixed well and just didn't have any matcha in it. I'd skip this on my next UberEats order.
