    Tried this place out on a Saturday just for coffee as they had sold out of banh mi. Disclaimer that it was busier than usual in the city as the Pokemon XP event was going on at the same time, so our coffees did take awhile (around half an hour at least). They have a cute dog too that hangs around inside

    I came here for my morning coffee and I got the original ca phe sua da. It was perfect! A bit more on the stronger side thought, if you prefer it more sweet. I loved the coffee jelly in it, such a surprise :) It's a cute quaint shop, super sweet gentleman who owns the store. I will be back!!

    So lucky to have a bahn mi spot near my office and no need to to to the Tenderloin spots for a treat. The space is cute and well designed, the ordering through kiosk is convenient and food comes fast even on a busy weekday lunch time. The grilled pork bahn me was tasty but a little dry to my taste. I loved how crunchy the roll was and the jalapeño kick. Also the packaging was so stylish! Planning on coming back and trying Vietnamese drinks next.

    I was drawn to the cafe from its egg coffee hype, I believe not too many places near San Francisco offer such a drink. Inside, there are a few benches and an egg-shaped swinging chair, perfect for sitting and sipping your egg coffee. The egg coffee came out quickly. Perhaps this is modeled after an authentic style, but the egg foam was super sweet and the coffee itself lacked any sweetness and was quite bitter. I (and my companion) could not handle the coffee alone without mixing the two. I'd prefer if the foam and coffee were both slightly sweet. The foam itself was thicc and creamy, and made the bitter coffee quite balanced once mixed. It tastes quite strong, as a Vietnamese coffee should be. There's a gelatinous surprise at the bottom, firm squares of sweet coffee jelly that serves as a dessert for your drink. I also ordered the grilled pork banh mi. The lemongrass flavor was quite prominent, though the meat was a bit greasy. The ordering kiosk made it easy to remove certain ingredients, although the wording was clunky, for instance, "Remove jalapeño" as an additive item. The portions were on the larger side at $12.95, and the taste was above average as far as an SF banh mi goes. Veggies were crisp and nicely pickled. Although the egg coffee is slightly pricey and bitter, I'd be curious to try the other coffee offerings at this joint; the ube cream and coconut coffees look enticing.

    New cafe in the Financial District! We went because there was a big hype! We heard that they're the same owner as the matcha place down the street so we gave it a try. We went on a weekend afternoon and there was no line at all. The place is tiny, so there aren't a lot of space to sit and chat. It's more like order and go style. I got the signature Vietnamese coffee and the coffee jelly. The drink itself was good, but I don't think it's worth the almost double digit price. The 3 star is really for the quality at the price I got. The highlight of the drink is the coffee jelly, it's chewy and bouncy and coffee forward.

    Brief Summary - Review for the drinks - Cafe is located at a corner, almost missed it upon walking - Ordering can be done by a kiosk - Coffee is not sour This was recommended to me by a colleague, so I went on a search. This cafe is located near a block where there are other restaurants and cafes. It's located at a corner, and unlike the other places in the street have signs, this was hidden without one hanging outside. I almost crossed the street and missed it if it weren't for me proactively searching for the egg-shaped chair near the window. It was my semi-morning commute, so the cafe just opened and I was their first customer. I ordered two iced Vietnamese coffees from the kiosk; the egg cream one. The wait wasn't long, but there was time to sit at the egg-shaped chairs. Once that staff called me over for the drinks, they let me know how to drink it. Since the top has egg foam, they suggested to mix the drink first before consuming. I think the layering was there for great photo opportunity, but for that strange reason that day I forgot to take a photo of it. I haven't drank many Vietnamese coffees in my life, but this one was pretty good. I was expecting it to be sweeter, but it was just right. It was also sweet enough to drink in the morning. For someone who drinks a 2-3 cups of coffee a day, this day this was enough to keep me powered up. I also liked the surprise coffee jelly pieces at the bottom of the cup.

    Cà Phê Muối: Salted Cream Viet Coffee w/ coffee jelly ($8)
    Cherylynn N.

    2.5 STARS Cà Phê Việt's branding and "vibes" are on-point with the swinging egg chairs. Great for photo ops. If you like the dogs, the resident doodle can often be seen living its best life on the swinging chair. Opening in April 2026, Cà Phê Việt is from the owner(s) behind Nagomi (matcha). They're one of two shops in the city getting into the Viet coffee craze so they've been popping off on socials. Great for those who can't trek to San Jo. They're a bánh mì and cà phê sữa đá shop. Takeout only, no delivery. There's two benches to wait for your order. Unfortunately, I had similar experiences to other not so favorable reviews. There's a sign to place your order at the kiosk but if you're paying cash, you can order up front. When using the kiosk, a "convenience fee" is charged. This is the first I've seen which I assume is to offset kiosk maintenance costs. I rather they build this into their menu prices. D R I N K * Cà Phê Muối: Salted Cream Viet Coffee w/ coffee jelly ($8): https://tinyurl.com/3pmns5df Not mine but I had several sips for taste. The cà phê sữa đá tasted diluted, not as robust and strong as Viet rocket fuel should be. The salted cream foam was thin, watery, and tasted like frothed condensed milk...there was no salt to offset the sweetness. F O O D * Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt: Combo Cold Cut w/ extra pate ($15.95): https://tinyurl.com/6xvdjj8a I don't mind paying $$$ for a bomb bánh mì but this felt overpriced for the taste and quality. RIP to Charles Phan. At his bánh mì shop, you get double the protein and everything is housemade including the baguette for a similar price point. - Baguette: Long, soft and chewy with no crumb. I prefer a baguette with a thin, crackly-crispy crust. - Filling: One note: salty. The chả, viet ham, headcheese, and pâté were salty and the veggies weren't pickled enough to add an acidic bite. Seemed like the normal smear of pâté, not extra. They use regular white mayo so it lacked umami. S E R V I C E Their kiosk is buggy...it assigned a wrong name to my order ("Lucy") and no receipt printed. This caused a long delay, and back and forth with the staff before they finally realized my order was "Lucy's". A M B I A N C E Cute takeout spot for your socials. Overall, given the lack of Viet eateries in FiDi/SoMa, Cà Phê Việt may fill that void for those who work in the area. Two stars, adding .5 stars, and rounding up for a local small business.

    Such a great local gem! Love that it appears to be family run too Egg cream coffee - the whipped egg cream is soo delicious!! Pairs wonderfully with the rich and deep vietnamese coffee Banh mi - also delicious and great portion sizes! They're maybe slightly more expensive than other places but they're also longer than the typical place. Would definitely recommend grabbing something and walking nearby to the Salesforce park to enjoy!

    ube cream coffee

    3 stars for the small portions relative to price, 1 star for having decaf options! The inside of this cafe is cute. You order from a tablet and there's ample seating. We waited a little bit for our orders. I got an ube cream coffee and my friend got the black sesame coffee, and we thought the drinks were pretty good. I didn't think the ube taste was that strong, but it was more noticeable than other ube coffees I've had. The coffee jelly was surprisingly very flavorful and probably the best part of the drink. I ordered my drink as decaf, so I can't speak to the taste of their regular coffee, but it's really nice to have a decaf option for the days you want the taste of Vietnamese coffee but can't handle the caffeine. The portion is pretty small for the price. At other Vietnamese coffee places, for $8.50 you'd get a cup that is 50% larger than this place's cups. They also fill the cup with ice. I appreciate that this place is unique among the many boba and matcha places around the financial district.

    Small cafe serving up some really great sweet coffee drinks. They also have a few tasty food items. Plus a resident poodle, often napping on a chair. Coffee with Egg Cream: Ever since I visited Hanoi, I've been obsessed with egg coffee. It's so hard to find here, so I was hyped to learn this place was serving it. They don't serve it with warm coffee, but rather over iced coffee that also has some coffee jelly. I was encouraged to mix it all together. While it was nice and sweet, the experience was off a bit. Probably better to sip, without mixing, so the coffee passes through the egg that is right against your mouth. Also, the coffee jelly was kinda random since the pieces were too big to easily find their way into your sips. Ube Iced Coffee: Very creamy and very ube tasting. Like the ube flavor mostly overpowered the coffee flavor, which is kind fun. Also, such a beautiful bright purple. Grilled Pork Banh Mi: Huge, for a banh mi. Almost getting to Subway sized. The bread was a nice chewy baguette roll. Lots of cilantro, pickled veggies and mayo. The pork has a good marinade, but it wasn't really "grilled". I didn't see any grill marks and it felt a bit mushy. Ube Waffle: Had a really nice chewy mochi-type texture. The flavor was sweet, but not too sweet. Loved the subtle ube and coconut tones. Looked really cool and purple too.

    I stumbled on this new vietnamese cafe and it seemed like they were still in soft opening as they were setting up the kiosk. I heard the owners also run Cafe Nagomi nearby and are setting up a coffee shop here specializing in Vietnamese coffee. I grabbed a classic viet iced coffee and asked for less condensed milk which turned out to be the perfect level of sweetness for me. The viet iced coffee is stronger than your average coffee so be warned it can be quite strong. I enjoyed the coffee jelly which adds a nice texture and more coffee flavor without being as heavy as boba. It is a bit pricey for coffee but that's expected downtown and I was excited to see it as there aren't any viet coffee spots in the city.

    Some streets can be very confusing to a visitor of San Francisco. Montgomery street is one one of those confusing streets in San Francisco. When a tourist ask me where is Montgomery I said what are you seeking . They are asking for 104 Montgomery street where the Walt Disney Museum is located. I point them towards the Presidio around Crissy Field. I know some tourist who actually went to 104 Montgomery only to find a 25 story building on 100 Montgomery past the cross street of Sutter. You can also find Montgomery street below Coit Tower . The Financial District's Montgomery street also continues to New Montgomery street. In search of good sandwich there are many different styles to choose. There is a place which is new on New Montgomery and it's serving French influence baguette Vietnamese style sandwiches Banh Mi and it's called Cà phê Việt. On a Spring stroll on Montgomery street walking down New Montgomery on these San Francisco street there is a new place to grab Vietnamese style sandwich Banh Mi . This place is called and uses the English loan word for coffee called Cà phê Việt. Inside the decor felt like you stepped into a garden . I ordered the five spice chicken Banh Mi and it was so delicious. The baguette was so fresh and soft and the chicken was so tender and it meshed well with all the vegetables and had a crunch with the carrots. I then washed it down with purple yam also known as the Ube Cream Coffee. It had a smooth Ube cream taste and a very refreshing coffee. Overall you must make a pit stop if you are on New Montgomery on your way to Montgomery street. When it comes to Montgomery I don't know where to "start "is it by the Golden Gate Bridge or is it the Montgomery train station for Muni or "BART"at least I know my different Montgomery streets "apart" because I know the San Francisco streets right and left by "heart" The streets of "Montgomery"is a complex one if you do a San Francisco stroll and a "discovery" but what you find on the path are some Banh Mi and delicious is my "summary "and also tasty coffee at Cà phê Việt on "121 New Montgomery "

    I was excited to check out this new Vietnamese café in the SoMa/FiDi area. Walking into the café felt like stepping into Vietnam. They definitely nailed the decor, which mimics the third spaces I visited in Vietnam. However, they didn't execute the food and drink offerings to the standard I'm accustomed to. I ordered an egg coffee and chicken banh mi from the in-store kiosk. The egg coffee was not mixed well, so the coffee overpowered the egg foam. The coffee jelly at the bottom of the beverage was a nice addition. Altogether though, the drink felt disjointed. The chicken in the banh mi was extremely salty. It's as if the only seasoning used was salt, so the banh mi exclusively relied on it to carry the flavor of the sandwich. The only redeeming quality of the banh mi was the baguette, which was fresh and soft. Overall though, the sandwich was a miss. Suffice it to say I would not order either item I got from Cà phê Việt again.

We walked into a space that feels designed for groups, with plenty of seating and a menu built around shareable desserts. The interior has a contemporary, stylish feel with comfortable seating arrangements that accommodate both small groups and larger parties, making it the type of place where you can come after dinner and spend time trying a few different things instead of just ordering one dessert. The energy is lively and social, with groups gathered around large dessert plates and the hum of conversation filling the room. The bingsu is the main attraction here, especially the mango sticky rice bingsu and volcano-style creations. We ordered the mango sticky rice version and found the shaved ice had that soft, fluffy texture that melts quickly, creating a light, refreshing base that absorbs the toppings well. The combination of sweet mango, coconut rice, and the fine ice created a nice balance of fruity sweetness and the familiar coconut flavor, and the toppings were generous enough that each bite felt complete. The volcano-style creations add a dramatic presentation, with toppings cascading over the ice and creating layers of texture and flavor that make the dessert feel more like an experience than just a bowl of ice. The crepe cakes are also worth trying, with lighter layers that make them easier to enjoy without feeling overly heavy, and the matcha and strawberry flavors stood out for their clean, well-balanced profiles. The portions are definitely on the larger side, so this is a better place to share. We found that splitting a few desserts across the table allowed us to try more of the menu without overcommitting, and the variety of options from bingsu to honey toast and lava-style desserts meant there was something for everyone. The honey toast is a fun choice if you want something warm and more indulgent, with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery interior that pairs well with the ice cream and toppings. Some desserts can feel a little expensive depending on what you order, but the presentation and variety make it more of a dessert outing than a quick snack, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. Service can be a little slower when it gets busy, especially later at night when the shop fills up, but the staff are generally friendly and the atmosphere makes it easy to wait. We noticed the team handling the steady flow with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even when the restaurant was full. The energy of the room remains social and relaxed, and the staff checked in at the right moments without rushing us through the meal. U:Dessert Story is a solid spot for creative Asian desserts, especially if you are going with friends and want to try a few different flavors together. The combination of shareable portions, thoughtful presentation, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for a more social dessert experience, offering a meal that feels both indulgent and communal. The variety across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the desserts keeps the experience feeling intentional and satisfying.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

We originally went to the location near Union Square, thinking we'd be able to grab pastries and hot chocolate, only to realize it's primarily a retail shop with chocolate bars and merchandise. We ended up making our way to the Valencia Street location, and I'm so glad we did. We learned that it used to be the original factory before they outgrew the space. Production has since moved a few blocks away, and now this location offers classes, a café, and plenty of chocolate treats. While we were there, a chocolate-making class was in session, and it was fun to watch part of it.

The brownie flight was rich, flavorful, and a fun way to sample different chocolates. The hot chocolate came with a tiny cookie that was absolutely delicious. At first, we were a little disappointed because we thought our hot chocolate was supposed to come with a marshmallow and didn't see one. When we mentioned it, the instructor smiled and showed us a toppings station we had completely missed. There were homemade marshmallows, flavored sugar cubes, and other little extras you could add yourself. He even encouraged us to take a few extra marshmallows, and they were some of the best I've ever had. One thing to know before you go is that Dandelion Chocolate focuses on high-quality chocolate that isn't overly sweet. If you're expecting the sugary milk chocolate flavor of a candy bar, this is a different experience. The chocolate has a richer, more complex flavor, and we really enjoyed trying something different. Between the friendly staff, delicious treats, and unique experience, I'd definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary--just make sure you head to the café location if you're looking for food and drinks!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally got my chance. The people I can…read morewith told me the line was pretty short that day even though we waited for 15 minutes. They have a lot of unique flavors and really fruit and the ingredients are locally sourced. Although the scoops are pretty small. Cantaloupe (5/5): This was amazing. The cantaloupe tasted like actually cantaloupe. It was fresh and naturally sweet like thefruit. Lychee (5/5): Super refreshing and packed with lychee fruit. This place was really good and I'm excited to try other flavors.

    My sister and I randomly stumbled upon Garden Creamery while we were walking around San Francisco,…read moreand I'm so glad we did. We had never heard of it before, but the shop looked so cute from the outside that we decided to stop in and try it. We got really lucky because there was no line when we arrived, but by the time we left, there were probably around 20 people waiting outside. After trying the ice cream, I can definitely see why it gets busy. They have so many interesting flavors to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. We got the hojicha, Hokkaido milk coffee, and pandan ube, and honestly, I loved all three. The flavors were unique, creamy, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The hojicha had such a nice roasted tea flavor, the Hokkaido milk coffee was rich and smooth, and the pandan ube was probably one of the most fun flavors we tried during our trip. I loved that there were options here that you don't always see at a typical ice cream shop. This was such a great little accidental find during our 24 hours in San Francisco. I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in the city and try even more flavors. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!
