Lạc Coffee — Restaurant in Newark

A nice little Vietnamese Coffee Spot in Newark!

I'm glad to have found to a quality place like Lac Coffee in the area. I stopped by for my morning coffee and was immediately impressed with the easy online ordering process—my drinks were ready and waiting for a quick pickup. I tried both the Dirty Matcha Cream and the Egg Coffee, and both were delicious. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients (they said they sourced the coffee from Vietnam and matcha from Japan). The egg cream in the coffee was a particular highlight—rich and velvety without being overpowering at all.

This establishment has recently opened and replaced Amausaan Uji Matcha, which is where I went several months ago. The ambiance is the same in terms of structure but how they recolor the place with different furniture makes it different from the previous establishment.

I’ve been figuring out which matcha drink I wanna get since there’s many versions of them. I got the House Cream one. It’s not very sweet but that’s because I requested 25% sweetness since I don’t like drinks that are too sweet.

I heard that they serve ice cream as well. Maybe I come back...
