I like this place! After watching a video by famous chef Luke Nguyen; where he cooked this cool french dish of sunnyside eggs and a side of assorted charcuterie. I had to find this! My local buddy said this place: Coffee Factory On the menu, you will see this item, highlighted in blue ink. It's two eggs sunnyside up, with an assortment of charcuterie: pate, thinly sliced salami, and thin lunch meat ham. It works and satisfies. Also, comes with a fresh skinny long baguette, piping warm with buerre. Recommended. Cutomer service: fine. Parking: ez read more

2.75 stars Came by to have some coffee with my friend after we had lunch at Quan Hy near by yesterday. Service: OK, we got to call and raise our hands for several times in order to get an attention from a young female waitress. We asked her for 2 water, but she did not bring out. Ended up, I came to a cashier asking for it instead. We both had ordered coffee with condensed milk which was OK. read more

Nice spacious restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food here is average. Nothing stood out to me. Got the bo ne and the steak was too chewy and the sauce has a weird seasoning to it. No AC here, making it a little tough to enjoy your meal during summer. Service was good and the people are nice but I don't think I would be returning here. read more

Nowadays, I've been trying to cut down on my coffee consumption because of the pain I have in my joints. I've heard that caffeine aggravates inflammation. So why was I here? Because I came to support my friend's Bone Marrow Drive http://www.yelp.com/events/westminster-help-save-kaili---bone-marrow-donor-drive for her niece. I was a little disappointed about the responses from YELP. It seems like when it is a food event, people are so eager to join, but a charity event...... not so much! Thank GOD the event still got lots of participation from other media (church, word of mouth, etc). However, so far a match has not been found yet. If you are not registered as a Bone Marrow Donor, I strongly encourage you to sign up. Info can be found at http://www.marrow.org/. A simple mouth swap is all it takes. Kits can be mailed to you and mailed back. It's really easy! On to the food part. Don't be fooled by the name. This place sells more than just coffee. Food items range from breakfast to noodles to sandwiches. They even have frozen yogurt and shaved ice. My fiance ordered a Latte http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Rin9c_1TN1P9XjjK0NUimQ?select=SfhVE0xescKE-Fvz_IJ38g and I had an Iced Mocha (not pictured). I didn't try the Latte, so can't comment on that. I liked the Ice Mocha because it's not as sweet as most places make it. (Yeah, if you've been reading my reviews, you know I don't like things too sweet). For our 'lunch', I ordered a House Special Heu Tiu (wide rice noodle) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Rin9c_1TN1P9XjjK0NUimQ?select=sZNSefRO_faLzlI_BPt1Aw. The broth was flavorful. It had mostly fish cake and about 2 or 3 pieces of shrimp. Compare to most restaurants in Little Saigon, the amount of food is on the smaller side. My fiance had the Grilled Beef Vermicelli http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Rin9c_1TN1P9XjjK0NUimQ?select=41FZM5eA6QCX76Ax89aheQ. The beef was really tender. He quite enjoyed it. Like I said, the amount of food was not as much, so we ordered another Chicken Sandwich http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Rin9c_1TN1P9XjjK0NUimQ?select=jeE7Dk8J8_ZgmFDZD69wCg to share. Let's just say, if you want really good Banh Mi, you want to go across the street to Banh Mi Che Cali. =) Service was very prompt and friendly. If I were to rate the food alone, it's more like 3 stars. But I support them for supporting the Bone Marrow Drive. Any establishment who supports sound charity deserves my business and an extra star. read more

A friend of mine introduced me to this place years ago. It's still standing, busy as ever on Sunday mornings. We'd joke and call it CHARLIE & THE COFFEE FACTORY. Tons of Vietnamese people around here. Just enjoying their food, taking their sweet ass time. Dining should be pure enjoyment, so make it last. Anyways, let's get straight to the point. This place has really great Banh Mi. The bread is like - WOW! Never disappointed here. We start off with the usual - one warm baguette. A plate of pâté and ham , with some shrunk pickles and mustard on the side. I just ignore both, go straight for the kill. Lavishly spreading the pâté on the baguette and then add a slice of ham. My mouth is watering, just thinking about it. A generous bite, but carefully concentrating on the roof of my mouth. Bread can be harsh sometimes. Next, comes the Steak & Eggs. I douse some of the Maggi Seasoning on the sunny side eggs, giving it that oily, soy sauce taste. The meat is tender, a tad bit fatty, but nothing that puts your teeth to work. Out comes more baguettes. I can eat their bread all day. It really puts Lee's Sandwiches to shame. My buddy Q tells me that there are better places around, but I'm so inexperienced when it comes to Little Saigon that I need all the help I can get. Lately, I started asking for half sugar in my Vietnamese coffee, which really does the trick for me. The java is really satisfying. Orangina for breakfast is always a nice change. It's like a sweet mimosa without alcohol. They recently remodeled and the place looks really proper on the inside. Pastries are now involved and the menu has been expanded. I think the prices are reasonable, yet I'm somewhat surprised that there aren't as many Yelpers that frequent this place. MORE TO COME FOLKS... read more

Coffee Factory - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

Was in the mood for some Vietnamese coffee after a big fiasco Saturday afternoon. I remember this as one of the 4 star Vietnamese coffee houses in Westminster! :) The exterior and interior of this place is decrepit and run down. I ordered the Cafe Sua Da, and to my surprise, it was mostly pre-made... There were cups filled with condensed milk and the barista merely put half a shot of espresso in the cup and filled the rest of the cup with ice.... ...isn't Cafe Sua Da French drip coffee? Needless to say, the coffee was rather gross... read more

Newly renovated since I last visited. Service is friendly. Food is okay in my opinion. I still like the Mi hai san (seafood noodle) at the Irvine location better. They are now serving Pho..so, let's give it a try next time. For now..it's still one of my breakfast places since they're open at 7 in the morning:) read more

Quaint, rustic French-influenced Vietnamese cafe, a local's favorite. Mom and pop cafe (three sisters actually). Recently renovated again. I've liked this place for years--they seem to be very passionate about their food and business, always willing to customize your order just the way you like it. I wanted something similar to their assiette plates (assortment of ham, salami, egg, chinese sausage, pate, mini pickles, and a splash of whole grain mustard, depending on which combo you choose), but I'm not a big fan of ham and salami with my baguettes, so I got the Opla Xiu Mai (egg and meat ball plate, comes with a baguette, $8.50) and added a side of pate ($3). Pricey, but I got what I wanted and was feeling fancy. Plus, I really like their pate there, chunky and tasty. The side order is pricier because it's a slice of 3 different kinds of pate: mushroom, cognac, and pepper. Pepper was my favorite of the three. Added an extra baguette, now a great meal for two people. Oh, and a double shot blended cappuccino ($4) to wash it all down (said I was feeling fancy!) The outdoor patio is always my favorite spot to sit, minus the cigarette smoke. Some other interesting items on their menu: steak mushroom cheese banh mi ($7.50), steak and truffle fries ($13.00), opla steak filet mignon ($11.00), cari de (goat curry, $10.00). I will most likely try their bun rieu and mi hoanh thanh xa xiu next time. Bon appetit! read more

I go in myself for the first time hoping that this establishment might posses the yummy smoothies I had been craving and tirelessly searching for all that morning to no avail. As I looked more closely at their menu board I ended up seeing plenty of tasty options for smoothies. As I get closer to the lady working the front vounter I ask her what her favorite smoothie flavor is that way I can get some help making a final choice. She then quickly shoots a very rude comment at me saying "they actually don't have any of the ingredients necessary to make one for me. I then end up asking her what other items are good here however before I end up finishing my question She decides to cut me off with a bold statement that pretty much meant I wasn't welcome there and that she was refusing to sell me anything and that I should leave asap. I'm disgusted to say the very least. read more

I really like their breakfast menu - right portions, cheap, and of course tasty! The food is definitely authentic. The breakfast items comes with bread on the side. I've had the beef stew (very tender beef), ham & cheese omelet (plenty of ham) and DB#7 (comes with 2 eggs sunny side up, pate, salami, ham & pickles). I like the #7 the best for it's variety and taste. It's a quaint and quiet place for a good weekend breakfast. 5/28/11 - Today I substituted salami & ham (#7) for Vietnamese sausages : PERFECT! read more

Be careful by checking your bill, they ask you to come to the counter to pay, they do this on purpose since likely you are in line and do not have time and rush "just pay up". They cheated. read more

They have one of the best bo lu lac, real filet mignon not like other restaurants they use baking soda to make the regular beef soft. I always come here for breakfast and their food never disappoints me. read more

The dishes are average and nothing really stood out to me. I usually just come here for their Charcuterie board with over easy eggs and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It is always on and off when I come here. Last time, the Pate tasted a little funky and weird. I like how it's spacious, light, and clean. There's also nice big screen TVs and an outdoor seating area. The service is always on point. The servers were always friendly and our food always came out pretty fast. I'll only come her during breakfast or when I'm craving some over easy eggs and their Charcuterie board. Come here if you're looking for quick and decent dishes, but don't expect anything more! read more

Coffee factory is a very nice and modern coffee shop! It's very well clean inside! I came here particularly for their banh bao! So my review is based off of that! Alongside the customer service! The staff in here were super friendly and helpful! We ended up order 30 banh bao's (steam buns) and they were 2$ each! This is a little pricey for the area! The steam buns usually run about 1-1.50 each. BUT I have to say they are pretty delicious! The dough is very light and fluffy to where you can eat a couple in one sitting. They also have a wide selection of teas and coffee which is really nice. they carry one of my favorites there...the republic of teas! one of the best ever! if you don't care about pricing, i would highly recommend this place but other than that there are plenty of other places in the area. read more

Overpriced watered down coffee. Vietnamese iced coffee is $4.25 and didn't taste like there was any condensed milk.

It was my first time here. I'd have alto say that the service was good. It's a busy place so expect a lot of background noise. Good came out fast and tasty. My bun rieu was a bit on the salty side so I asked for extra broth to dilute it. Overall it was good and I'd come back. One thing I noticed was that the men to women ratio was about 8 to 2. Not many women come here I guess. But lots of men having coffee and hanging out. read more

Came here for breakfast with the group of friends and family. More like an early lunch. Bunch of us ordered a bunch of different things and I ordered the sizzling steak. The steak was nice and juicy, medium rare, and tender. But the eggs on top were a bit rubbery. If we come back here, I don't think I'd order this again. Especially considering it was the most exp thing on the menu. Overall I would say this place is just... ok. It's a local Vietnamese place that tries to be a bit different but falls flat imho. There wasn't anything particular wrong; it just didn't feel like anything stood out about this place. read more

Food was decent, however service was horrible. I would come here every so often for the bo kho. Today the service was horrible I was sitting near the front and the lady still didn't give me my water. I asked the guy worker and he went to making other people's drinks. Asked the girl worker and she did something else. Asked the girl again towards the end of my meal and finally got the water I asked for in the beginning before I got my food. Paid for my $14 bo kho it says on the menu and got charged $15 + tax. The lady said oh it's long time ago price. Like wtf? update your menu if that's the case‍ read more

Best banh mi in Little Saigon! My sister has me carry them on my way to San Francisco because SF doesn't make vietnamese sandwiches as good as this place. The bread is soo tasty and the texture is perfect. I usually get the shrimp cake, jambon (ham), dac biet, or chinese sausage and egg banh mi (around $3-$4). All of them are so simple but all are a must try! Their mini croissants and sinh to (smoothies) are pretty tasty too. Come here for a yummy brunch. The only thing that is bad is all the vietnamese men smoking in the front. If you want a authentic Vietnam experience though, you have to have that. read more

My friend who lives in the OC took me here for a French Vietnamese breakfast. We both ordered the assiette anglaise which is around $9 each and comes with a baguette, pate, two sunny side eggs, ham, salami, grain mustard, and tiny pickles. We also ordered Viet iced coffee (typical Viets ha). The bread was warm and fresh, and everything tasted really good. It feels light, yet heavy when you realize you just ate a pretty huge baguette all to yourself with some liver paste and butter. Eating this food reminded me of eating this type of breakfast with my dad's family when I was younger before they moved to Texas. read more

We "sniffed in" during the afternoon so pastries were not to be. As is typical in bakeries, either you come early or you get the "remains of the day". This was no exception and there was barely anything to speak of. ICED COFFEE w/condensed milk -- the java was bold in typical Vietnamese coffee style but the creaminess was seriously lacking; there was a slight creaminess but the BOLD pretty tasty java dominated the drink; I prefer the more standard Vietnamese coffee with a nice balance of both Rating = B The STAFF were friendly, helpful and kind. If we try here again, I'd have to opt for a latte to get more milk or condensed milk added. read more

Coffee factory is the perfect example for how I want Denny's to be. Selection is king here, with wide ranging options from bo ne and bo kho, to ham and cheese croissants and omelette. I usually take the kids here on the weekends, and our usual order consists of pho, bo kho, egg sandwich and truffle Mac and cheese. I was expecting a pretty horrible bowl of pho, but was pleasantly surprised at its decent flavors. Bo kho and banh mi is also a hit, as was the truffle Mac and cheese (kraft with truffle oil? So good!). Service is hit or miss, make sure you point out your order and it is repeated back to you to avoid confusion, as some dishes sound similar. Their smoothies are pretty good too, do try the chocolate, it's delicious and not too sweet, perfect in the morning! read more

This is the same company, just different name. Their coffee was the worse, coming from coffee pot ( not rxpresso).

Grade: B My sister introduced me to Coffee Factory. Some of her guy friends head out here to hang out often. Great local place for brunch or lunch. Our favorite is the sunny-side up eggs + shaky beef + French bread. Sometimes, the shaky beef is a bit salty, but overall, the entree is very filling and tasty. Iced coffee is strong but good. We went on a weekday and it was nice and quiet vs. a Sunday where it was completely taken over by groups of loud older men meeting up with their friends sharing stories over coffee, smokes, and food. It is all good, as my dad is a frequent cafe patron (just not this one). It's too bad about the smoking though. read more

My gf heard this place was good we stopped in for breakfast. It's not just coffee and tea-- they have a decent sized food menu. We were seated with our menus. I ordered the assiete plate which is an assortment of eggs, ham, salami, pâté and tiny pickles. My gf got the croque monsieur. She said it's supposed to be like eggs benedict with the hollandaise sauce but in a sandwich. So she wanted to try it at Coffee Factory. Oh and she also heard the pâté was good so she ordered some to go inside her sandwich. The waitress came and dropped off utensils and a soy sauce bottle as we waited. When I got my dish, the eggs were perfectly cooked, sunny side up, just the way I like it. Then I remembered-- they didn't even ask me how I wanted my eggs. Lol. Somehow they just knew :). NBD because I enjoyed the runny yolk! The pâté was indeed good! It seemed light-- like kind of airy?... I don't know how to describe it-- it's not dense like I've had at other places, less greasy too it seems? My gf enjoyed her sandwich even though it wasn't exactly like her expectations but she liked it and she liked the pâté and seedy mustard. To pay we went up to cashier. Up there you see a menu for their drinks. They have their own branded tea that they sell as well as other brands of tea and some tea paraphernalia. Would I come back? Sure, if I'm in the area. read more

The service here was lovely much like their other restaurant Pho Factory in Irvine. The ladies were all so helpful and welcoming. I've tried many of their items and haven't had one that wasn't made to perfection. They definitely know how to appeal to a person's taste buds especially with their sandwiches! Man, after the first bite I was just like Lee's who? I'm not a coffee person but my mom, dad, grandpa, uncles, aunts, friends, and boyfriend all rave about it! read more

I'm generally very understanding about restaurant operation and quality but this is just ridiculous. I bought an order of "bò kho" togo. It cost me $10 bucks and what I get is barely any bò kho in the togo container. This is not right. I do not want to waste my time driving back there but please give an ample amount!!! I walked out of the restaurant paying a total of $15 bucks for bò kho and a cup of coffee and I am not satisfied....this sucks!!!!!!! read more

If you are looking for a traditional Vietnamese coffee, here is the place. Why you might ask? Upon walking in, there were tons of these old Viet dudes who sit around, probably all day, and talk about random subjects. Several groups there were talking hilarious trash which was both obnoxious and amusing. Not going to lie, I chuckled a bit since I'm quite versed with the native tongue. Anyways, I ordered quad shot and the lady gave me the look as if I was asking for a death wish. She said I need chair to sit and slowly consume it. Nope, I have work to do... I took it to go. Love her facial reaction though. You would figure in this day and age, quad shot is quite normal since coffee is popular amongst all ages. Well, she was right. A Viet quad shot does pack a punch. But with the crazy work days I've been going through, I almost wanted to come back in and take on a double. Regardless, this place is nice. Coffee is on point, they serve food apparently for the bed & breakfast folks, and its clean from my quick observation. I'm coming back. Love. read more

This place was a recommendation from a friend. About once a week I get their pate sandwich with a hot Vietnamese coffee. It's like how my mom use to make it when I was younger. It's pretty comparable. So if you're looking for a good breakfast sandwich with a cup of coffee plus if you like pate, you can either make it at home or get one here. read more

Had to write another review for my favorite restaurant because we're in a pandemic and this is especially a hard time for smaller businesses so I'm thankful you guys are still open!! I always love their atmosphere, very traditional and overall fun! I honestly don't know why there's so many bad reviews especially regarding customer service because I've never had a problem. Hopefully it doesn't happen again! Of course, the food was delicious and consistent as always. Support small businesses!!! read more
