    Coffee/drinks were good, food was not. Cute concept but they kinda missed on the execution. How are you gonna serve a banh mi with frozen (literally) veggies. One of the servers laughed at my friend's name so the vibes were just off at this place.

    Mega phins

    Street parking available on W Madison. Looove the ambiance with Vietnamese decor. The mega phins were a sight to behold. Coconut coffee was 4/5. Wish there was a slushie option.

    Matcha mango refresher
    Jessica K.

    Vietfive is a very chill place to work and enjoy a nice cup of their Vietnamese coffee or whatever other tea drinks you'd like to enjoy! I particularly enjoyed the Matcha Mango Refresher, and am excited to try more of their tea options! Their banh mi (I got the pork one, but they also offer chicken and veggie) was delicious and fresh. The baguette was crisp with a soft pillowy center that cushioned the crunchy veggies and tender meat perfectly. The presentation is also nice on a wood board, adding a rustic feel to an already vibey spot. I stopped in Vietfive for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning to knit and relax. At around 9:30am, it wasn't too busy at all. Around 11am, there was a rush and no more tables available for people to sit. With a couch and a few coffee tables, there is a decent amount of seating, but it goes quickly. Overall, Vietfive was a great place to stop for a morning work. I was able to get a lot of knitting done and finished an audiobook, but I also saw a couple of people working on laptops! It was chill, bright, and the staff was very helpful! Highly recommend!

    Ca phe trung and vietfive latte
    Amanda P.

    Was super excited to try this place considering it's one of the few viet cafes. Both my partner and I were very disappointed. I wanted to like this place but I couldn't. Although their ca phê trung was good, everything else was not. We ordered an iced VietFive latte without flavoring and it just tasted like watered down coffee, didn't even taste strong enough to consider it coffee. The combo bánh mì was good but I was not a fan of the xa xiu chicken bánh mì . Too much pepper and something in it was wayyy too salty. We waited almost 40 minutes for our banh mi because the workers didn't hear that the order came in. They were too busy changing the songs playing to pay attention. They gave us mochi donuts as an apology.

    Ordered Vietfive Coffee for my work team through Uber Eats to our office in the Loop, and everyone really enjoyed their drinks and pastries! We tried a variety including Ube Horchata Lattes, matcha lattes, and teas--all were fun and flavorful. I got the Ube Horchata Latte, which I​​ enjoyed, though I could have ordered the smaller size since it was extremely sweet and very much a dessert drink. We also got the mango peach puffs, which were delicious. It's a great spot for unique, indulgent coffee drinks that feel like a treat. Would definitely order again!

    Empanada
    Kenna G.

    Great, unique coffee shop! More than just coffee, also has boba drinks, ube lattes, horchata, matcha, etc. Loved my empanada, fully filled and perfectly crispy. Loved the bright colors of the space and how light the space is! Staff were all very friendly and kind.

    Jerk chicken empanada  Coconut cream cold foam matcha latte
    Valerie M.

    I came here for the first time today and was blown away. I ordered a matcha with coconut cream cold foam, and it might just be my new favorite. The matcha wasn't sweetened (which I love) and the coconut cream added just the right touch of sweetness. It was perfectly balanced, super smooth, and honestly... so yummy in my tummy. I'm already plotting my return. I also tried the jerk chicken empanada, which was surprisingly flavorful and filling. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly shocked by how good it was. I'm seriously considering grabbing another one tomorrow. The vibe of the place is eclectic in the best way: cool, artsy, and cozy. It's the kind of spot you could sit in for hours whether to chill, work, or people-watch. Bonus: the girl at the front was so friendly and helpful, especially since it was my first time. Highly recommend.

    Veggie tofu banh mi bowl
    G M.

    I absolutely loved this place! I popped in to do some work and grab a bite while waiting on a friend. It's cozy but still enough room for several different groups of people to sit. When I got there there was a line but while the staff member was helping a customer, the digital kiosk was still open to order. I like that nobody was rushed through getting help from staff, but it didn't feel inconvenient bc you could easily make a quick order at the same time. I got a coffee and a rice bowl. I love the vegetarian choices available. My drink came out quickly and my food took a little bit longer but the staff member, Minesha I think, let me know they were making fresh rice. She was incredibly warm and helpful. Hey energy just made everything so much more pleasant plus she knew so much about the food and drink and helped folks make decisions without being pushy. I feel like everything was good quality and a good value. I'll be back whenever I'm in the neighborhood!

    Jerk chicken empanada
    Irene R.

    I was in the mood for Vietnamese coffee, so I headed to VietFive for lunch. This is definitely a local hangout with people conversing on the couch or had their laptops out on the bistro patio type tables. The coffee is great! It's shaken which helps distribute the condensed milk (I asked for a little extra and they obliged with a smile). The food: The banh mi was good, the bread is the star. The empanada was okay/good, unfortunately the chicken was a little dry. So overall a solid place if you're in the hood. I would definitely be back for my Vietnamese coffee fix.

    Vietfive Iced Ube Latte
    George C.

    First time trying ube latte and I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great place to try specialty drinks as they pair strong Vietnamese coffee with multitude of flavors. The staff was friendly and helpful and a great modern space to catch up with friends and just relax.

    Ambiance - casual, hip, small business family owned coffee shop, love their decors Service - our baristas were super nice, recommended my group drinks Food - ube latte was spot on, wish their egg coffee had a slightly thicker/creamier consistency

    Austin W.

    My wife and I stopped by Vietfive Coffee for a coffee run on our recent trip to Chicago. Vietfive Coffee is very aesthetic inside and is the perfect spot for those that want to snap photos for Instagram. We shared one of their large egg coffee beverages. I've had egg coffee a handful of times -- in Vietnam and also in the San Francisco Bay Area, and generally, I'm prepared for how sweet the drink will be. The egg coffee here is definitely on the sweeter side. I appreciate how strong the coffee is, but finishing a large size egg coffee is quite an endeavor and you'll certainly be on a sugar high for the rest of your day. In addition to drinks, Vietfive also offers a wide selection of savory pastries in their pastry case. I was eyeing their banh mi empanada, but made the mistake of grabbing breakfast nearby earlier in the morning. Definitely need to stop by again to try out the food.

    VietFive Iced Ube Latte - 12 oz. (But hot!)
    Jessica C.

    (G)o - very cute cafe, perfect to study at or to stop by briefly for an afternoon stroll! Service is fast! (W)ow - Such an adorable interior design and pink/red theme - the pink ladder and red scooter were perfect Valentines day touches (A)ge - mostly 20s, students or working adults with laptops (M)enu - I got the hot ube latte, which was the only drink available in decaf! I swear it tasted like melted butter on popcorn. The closest thing to ambrosia from the percy jackson series. Also, it's entirely purple - who can say no to that?

With that in mind, the phrase "Happy Monday!" is an oxymoron, even though I send it every week in the Teams chat. Something that helps fight the Monday blues? Coffee! Yet, despite their oxymoronic name, Happy Monday Coffee is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. As someone who doesn't often make coffee runs during the workday, this means my coffee time is relegated to lunch. Some more expanded hours would be helpful not only to me and others like me but also to boost business. Where the coffee itself is concerned, I love the creativity displayed in the latte selections. Even as someone who is not a big latte lover, this is the kind of beverage I always get here. Are these the greatest things ever? No. However, I can't fault them too much, as lattes by design hide the bite of espresso under milk and often sugar. The vibe inside is relaxed and modern-boho, with a tasteful DJ set playing at a reasonable volume on the flatscreen. While I always take my coffee to go, it seems like a comfortable place to relax with a cup for a bit. Finally, I want to give credit to the service. While there isn't often a long line, service is consistently friendly, welcoming, and fast. Their prices aren't the cheapest around, but they are in line with what I'd expect for premium beverages in a high-traffic, downtown area. Final Verdict: Does Happy Monday have the best coffee anywhere that has me stopping in religiously? No. However, as someone who drinks soda rather rarely, when I am craving a solid and creative latte while at the office, Happy Monday is the first place that comes to mind.
