    There is literally always a line on the weekends here, which surprises me because I've actually only met one person who genuinely enjoys their iced vietnamese coffee and it's not me. I did, however, try their Saigon Coffee Frappe, which was better than their regular iced coffee, but still just okay. The chocolate drizzle they add is overly sweet and would've been better without it.

    I'm a sucker for a good Vietnamese coffee, and Saigon Coffee arguably has the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had in my life. It was so good that I ended up coming here twice during my recent trip to San Diego. The staff inside were incredibly friendly, and I really appreciated that they let you sample the coffee before ordering. One sip was all it took for me. Their Famous Saigon Coffee has that perfect balance of being strong enough to give you a real pick me up while still being rich, creamy, and sweet. On my second visit, I tried the Famous Banana, which takes their original Saigon Coffee and tops it with organic banana foam, crushed praline, and cocoa. Somehow it made an already great coffee even better. The banana flavor worked surprisingly well with the coffee without overpowering it. All in all, Saigon Coffee gets my highest recommendation for coffee in San Diego. I will absolutely be making a beeline back here the next time I'm in town. If you take nothing else away from this review, just know that this coffe is good AF.

    Every visit to SD isn't complete until we visit Saigon Coffee. Great Vietnamese coffee! Quick service they have a great system down and love all the vibes. Our faves are Saigon and Egg Coffee.

    While I was in the neighborhood, I saw someone holding Saigon Coffee cups and asked her where she got the coffee. She pointed out Saigon Coffee, so I followed her recommendation. I love egg coffees, so I ordered Hanoi Egg Coffee. The drink was refreshing, especially in warm weather. The coffee was bold and strong, but the egg cream added sweetness to the drink. Service was quick. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Saigon Coffee. The price was reasonable, and the quality was great. I will definitely come back here if I am in the area.

    This is a must stop if you're in the neighborhood. Service is always fantastic and drinks never disappoint. No wonder there's always a long line. There's a reason for it! They never disappoint. No rest rooms available and limited indoor seating. I love their story which is posted inside and the window to view the phins is cool. Had the original Saigon iced coffee with the banana cold foam and the Hanaoi Egg

    Hanoi Egg Coffee

    The Hanoi Egg Coffee is SOOO GOOD. Egg cream was so creamy and coffee was so sweet :)) I will say this will definitely keep you caffeinated because I drank it at 2pm and I still feel it in my system at 2am :D I usually am not even that reactive to caffeine too... Wasn't too busy on a Friday afternoon, so service was pretty quick!

    Best Vietnamese coffee I've had and this would be a reason why I'd visit SD more. I really enjoyed the hanoi egg coffee because the aftertaste of each sip leaves with you a caramel undertone. Ordered as is and it was the right amount of sweetness. The blended coconut cofffee was delicious and very nice on a hot day. This coffee shop is better than da vien, I hope they are able to open a future spot in OC or LA! As a Vietnamese American, I loved seeing this shop doing so well with a line out the door.

    This place is a true gem, it's worth all the hype that it's getting. Every coffee option has such robust flavor and never disappoints. I love that they do events with the community and can be found at the farmers market as well. This place is definitely worth your money and your time if you're going out of your way! Be sure to check out their banana coffee!

    I love this place. On my visit to SD I went here twice. Wish this spot was available in the Bay Area. I came for the Hanoi Egg Coffee both days. I got a large extra sweet. Both times they were really creamy, sweet and perfectly strong. You really have to spend the time to mix it well to get the full flavor. On the second day the barista messed up and didn't make it extra sweet so he remade it and I got the first one free. 2 for the price of one! Even the non extra sweet was good. If you don't come in the morning early expect to wait in line. Service is friendly. The shop is rather large with lots of seats and large windows. Large mural on the wall outside advertising there name. I will be back next time in SD

    What a cute little shop with the absolute SWEETEST workers. It's been a few months since I first stopped by and I'm finally writing a review, but I still remember the worker's sweet smile. I overheard her cheerfully explaining the menu to different curious customers who needed a little more help finding what to get. I'm very familiar with the different types of drinks you'll find in a Viet cafe and they have a pretty small menu with all the favorites. I got the Hanoi Egg Coffee! It's sweet, strong, and incredibly creamy. I absolutely love Vietnamese egg coffee and order it pretty often, and this one is just so delicious and well balanced. Saigon Coffee is for sure a stand out for delicious coffee!

    I've been here a million times and usually order the same thing... iced vegan coconut coffee. The coconut condensed milk allows me to enjoy my favorite beverage without the dairy repercussions. I highly recommend it! But today I tried something new, kind of... I ordered my usual iced vegan coconut drink topped with banana foam. Sweet holy heaven! The very strong Vietnamese coffee with the sweet banana flavor is the perfect pairing. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming here more often. Don't let the long lines deter you from stopping by. The line moves quickly while still offering great service!

    Needed my matcha fix and this place definitely understood the assignment. I got the Viet coffee with matcha and my friend got the matcha with Hanoi egg foam. Both were dangerously good. The matcha was smooth, the coffee packed the perfect kick, and that egg foam? I was fully prepared to judge it... then I ended up stealing bites--I mean sips. Service was quick, the shop was clean, and now I have another coffee stop to add to my growing "just one more matcha" addiction. 10/10 would happily caffeinate here again.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Coffee

    Is the coffee in the bag ground coffee or whole beans?

    Hi Liz. We have both ground and whole beans. Thank you! Tu.

    What would be the equivalence in number of espresso shots in one regular saigon coffee?

    It would be equivalent to 3 to 4 espresso shots. They are strong. I highly recommend getting their frozen bottled coffee. It lasts 10 days and is good for 3-4 servings. Just serve over ice.

    Do they offer options besides regular milk; oat milk, almond milk?

    They have a vegan coconut made with coconut condensed milk. That's what I get.

    Do they offer a decaf version? I absolutely love Vietnamese style coffee but I can never find a place that serves decaf.

    No, No decaf.

    Do they serve hot coffee or only iced?

    Their menu only shows iced drinks. I went only once (so far) and noticed only iced drinks were being made. But it was delicious!

    How much caffeine is in a 16oz?

    Quite a lot. This coffee is slowly dripped in Phin's. It's a 4 hour brewing process and extracts the maximum rich flavor from the coffee. It also makes is exceptionally strong.

    Where I can find their menu? No info about banh mi sandwiches of their website. Are they vegan friendly? Any tofu/jackfruit sandwiches?

    They only have coffee. No Banh Mi of any kind

I got their seasonal drink, the lucid dream, per the barista's recommendation. I do NOT recommend this drink. Unless you like mediciney, licorice taste. It was advertised as a rootbeer esque drink, and I love root beer, but the star anise and wintergreen just completely overpowered the drink and left a very sour aftertaste. The drink was very silky at first, but that's about all it had going for it. I even went home and tried to modify it by adding cold brew, cream and honey and even sea salt to cut the flavor away, but the medicinal herbal flavors were just too strong. This one was a miss, the drink alone was a 1 star. But i tried my friend's drink and it wasn't bad, so maybe I'd try a more normal drink or the cherry almond soda drink and see how it is.

The owner was super welcoming, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My husband and I each tried one of their desserts, and we even took a cake home. Everything was really good! We both got regular iced coffees, and they were really good too. They were also really nice about making our drinks the way we liked them. We really enjoyed being able to sit, drink our coffee, read our books, and just enjoy the atmosphere for a while. The only downside was that there are only two single-person bathrooms, so you may have to wait a little if it gets busy.
