PHIN vietnamese coffee & etc. — Restaurant in Seattle

This charming establishment offers an authentic Vietnamese coffee experience. During our visit, we opted for a large iced Vietnamese milk coffee with oat milk to share. I appreciated that there was no additional charge for the milk substitution. The coffee had a distinctive aftertaste, yet it was reminiscent of the flavors we enjoyed during our time in Vietnam. While the sweetness from the condensed milk was a bit overpowering for my palate, I found it intriguing that the oat milk was largely overshadowed by the robust coffee flavor, which I consider a positive aspect.

In addition to coffee, the shop features a selection of pastries and other items, although we were too full to sample anything beyond our drinks. The decor is inviting and cozy, enhanced by numerous houseplants including Hoya, spider plants, Monstera deliciosa, and satin pothos. However, I noticed that some plants could benefit from better support structures and improved lighting for optimal growth. Additionally, the shop boasts an impressive collection of books, and I was particularly delighted to see Doraemon manga available in Vietnamese for...

cute little shop with authentic Viet coffee -

We stopped by here and got a large iced viet milk coffee with oat milk to share. I like how there is no extra cost for the milk substitution. The coffee has an interesting aftertaste, but it tastes authentic like what we've tasted in Vietnam. It's still a bit too sweet for me due to the condensed milk, but I like how I need to try very hard to taste the oat milk (in other words, the milk got overpowered by the coffee, which is a desirable condition(?)).

The shop also sells pastries and other stuff, but we were super full and didn't try anything else. I like the decor and it's quite cozy, and they have tons of houseplants like hoya, spider plants, monstera deliciosa, satin pothos.. but I gotta say some of them are lacking a good pole for support or sufficient light for better growth. They also have tons of books, and it's my first time to see Doraemon manga in Vietnamese.

Overall it's a lovely stop for a quick break, but I guess the service could be slow as it's operated...

I normally I get coconut coffee but I like the blended type not the coconut cream type. Pandan and black sesame seems to be a regular item on the menu at most

I love to check out trendy coffee shops when I’m out of town. Have never seen yogurt coffee, not even in Orange County, CA and decided to try that. I knew it would be a gamble because I do not like the tarty sour flavor of Vietnamese yogurt.

My first sip and immediate reaction, I did not like. Definitely that wiff of sour tartness shot up my nose. Not to mention the semi thickness texture. As I took another sip, I’m starting to like it. It’s tolerable but I wouldn’t get it again.

It was well balanced with coffee and condense milk.

I love that the menu is basic and doesn’t offer a lot of fo-fo drinks.

So much culture in this cafe. Tons of cultural books both for adults...
