I am a coffee fanatic, professional Vietnamese cuisine and culture enthusiast, and cafe finder. I saw this on the corner of Brookhurst and Hazard where a restaurant used to be.
I come from the school of all kinds of cafes both American and Vietnamese. This cafe has a full restaurant menu in the school of iPlanet and i4Coffee, only the menu is leaner (an immediate good sign btw) the atmosphere and service is excellent. They are very nice and open to feed back as any good restaurant, bistro, or cafe should be.
They have free wifi if you're a worker bee like me. Their egg coffee is fantastic. The flavor hits perfectly. A great after meal addition of the taste buds.
I had their Vietnamese Skillet Baguette. The sauce was fantastic. I loved the Filet mignon. It absorbed all the delectable juices and complimented the meat pâté and eggs. A delicious pork alternative for the carnivorous at heart.

I’m just confused why everyone else was allowed to go in there and order what they want and me and my friend who are visibly not Asian we’re not let in. Very odd to have a sign that open daily and only let in customers of...
Read moreThey looked a bit surprised that I came in looking for coffee and to use the Internet to do a bit of work. Nice enough place and friendly helpful staff, but maybe not the cozy coffee shop retreat I had hoped for. It looks more like a restaurant that also serves coffee and tea. I had milk tea, but there was too much ice and I thought it was overpriced.
I had to give them one more star because they came by to ask how I was doing and offered me a small plain iced tea. And the milk tea wad good. Nice balanced taste, not too sweet and not too...
