such a great little vietnamese cafe with amazing drinks! i've had this cafe saved on my want-to-go list forever, and am so happy to have finally been able to go! i've been super into vietnamese iced coffee lately thanks to the sea market, and omg this place did not disappoint. i had the drippy because i wanted the original + a little more, and it was delicious! strong coffee but not too bitter, and the salt foam was a welcome addition. i came by when it was super hot (100+ degrees out) so this drink was the ideal way to cool down. i do feel that the store's AC was struggling to keep up, the cafe was a little warm to sit and chat. there's limited seating, but enough for a few groups. i was able to grab a table without many issues. definitely want to come by again, just wish it was closer to me! read more

Drip is SO good. I really only get it when I'm leaving the city since it's sorta on my way out. Everytime I get it, it's so great. Usually I'll order ahead on DoorDash and they have the most perfect carrying bags which are so helpful. I almost always get the banana flavor and its so great. Just sweet enough but not too overpowering. The staff in there is always so friendly, even when they've got a full house. read more

Was really craving some strong Viet coffee and Drip coffee delivered! Not only was it super hot this past week in Philly, the humidity was crazy. The Pandan Latte (pandan milk + viet coffee + coconut cold foam) really helped to refresh and caffeinate me. It wasn't too sweet and I could actually taste the flavor of the Pandan which usually gets drowned out by coffee flavors. We also got the Drippy and added grass jelly. I was appreciative that the staff asked if we wanted to replace the coffee jelly that comes with the Drippy or if we wanted it in addition to it. Super grateful that the store was air conditioned during that crazy heat and humidity. We got to enjoy their modern and stylish decor. I really liked the rice hat wall by the couch! read more

Highly recommend the Pandan Lover - it's not overly sweet and hits the spot on a hot day. Their prices are a bit on the higher side compared to other stores, but there are a lot of interesting options for drinks. The Lychee Dragonfruit Green Tea was refreshing, but I was thrown off by how many chia seeds there were in the drink. read more

I LOVE this place. I'm obsessed with their mystery drink. If you've never been, then their mystery drink is a MUST. I usually get the mystery drink with coffee jelly and it's incredible. I've also tried their coconut matcha and banana latte, both were really good and refreshing! You seriously cannot go wrong with this place, everything is a 10/10! read more

Stopped by out of necessity here today in order to take a meeting timed a bit too close to the end of Reading Terminal lunch. This cafe is one of the closer by cafes to the area. In lieu of any other info, I went with basics: Vietnamese iced coffee, original. They got the strong coffee flavor and the excessive sweetness. My gripe with Viet coffee is the strength and the resulting qualms that my stomach gives, but this was pleasantly to taste and stomach today! FWIW wi-fi is good for Zoom, and there's good seating in the three and a half tables available for guests. It's definitely a more youthful spot, with the Sabrina Carpenter playing in the background, but good if you're looking for specifically Vietnamese fixings. Happy to come back if I'm ever in a pinch for a cafe nearby to Reading again! read more

What a cute cafe! I got the Vietnamese coffee and it was delicious and strong. There was a pretty long wait when I went, but there was an event nearby and it was a weekend so that may be why, not sure how it looks like normally, but drinks came out pretty quickly once we ordered. Vibes are super cute, will come back and recommend if I'm in the Philly area again read more

Nice viet cafe in Chinatown. Beautiful and unique drinks. Most people go for the coffee but since I'm not a coffee drinker I went for the seasonal pandan, which had a nice pandan flavor but ended up being far too sweet for me.

Best coffee shop in Chinatown. I know bold statement. Go with the ube flavored coffee. It's pretty to look at and delicious. The drippy is also good but get the bigger straw for the coffee jelly!! The coffee jelly a little different than the tapioca found in boba and I think it's better in this drink. Service is ok. They get pretty busy so be patient. The place is pink and very well done. Limited seating so not great for big groups. Still highly recommend this place. read more

This Vietnamese coffee shop is a must-try if you're looking for a good pick me up! When I went, it was a lot busier than I expected, but the wait wasn't very long. They do have some seating and tables here, but it isn't much and mostly for grab-and-go. We tried their ube, ube & pandan, and vanilla coffees and they were all delicious. My issue with Vietnamese coffee is that sometimes it's too strong and makes my stomach hurt, however, this was okay!! Moreover, their foams were creamy and full of flavor. Loved it and would definitely come back. read more

Coming from Cali... this is my husbands favorite ube latte! He loves the strong Vietnamese coffee flavor... and the fact you can actually taste the ube! We regularly walk from over a mile away to get drinks here! I have enjoyed their fruit teas! The shop is really cute with about 3 small Tables to work at or chat with friends and a little couch as well! They always seem appropriately staffed with 3-4 workers any time of day that we visit. Sometimes we crave it and get there before they open and loiter by the next business trying to wait five more minutes after they open to not overwhelm them when they open their door read more

Stopped by Drip Vietnamese Café after lunch around 1pm and the place was packed. There was a line to the door as we walked in. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason, but be prepared to wait, especially during peak hours. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha, which was beautifully layered and visually appealing. The drink leans more toward the strawberry side -- sweet, fruity, and refreshing. I usually prefer a stronger matcha flavor, but this was still enjoyable. It tasted clean and natural, like it was made with real fruit or fruit jam instead of powders. My friend ordered the Mystery Flavor, which came out a rich purple color. It looked and tasted like ube -- creamy, slightly nutty, and not overly sweet. A fun surprise if you like trying new flavors. The café itself is small with limited seating. It has a cozy, quaint vibe but isn't ideal for dining in when it's busy. Takeout is your best bet. The staff were friendly but clearly overwhelmed with the crowd, so expect a bit of a wait. Overall, the drinks were delicious and thoughtfully made. Worth checking out if you're nearby and have a little time to spare. read more

The vibe here was cute! They decorated their interior to have some Vietnamese vibe while still having a modern look to it. They also had some free stickers with their logo, if people are interested. I thought the logo was interesting because of the way it "drips." We got the Banana Latte and Pandan Lover. Both drinks tasted delicious! I personally liked the Pandan Lover because it tastes like real Pandan and it wasn't too sweet. It did not taste artificial at all. Be aware that there is a 3% fee for using credit card. I ended up using cash to pay. read more

I haven't tried their other drinks, but the Viet coffee was good, but it was a bit too strong for me. They have other drinks, but was a bit disappointed they did not have any decaf options. The service was fairly standard, employees just doing their job. The interior is nice, but not too large.

OMG. Granted that I've never had a bad Vietnamese coffee, I thought Drip would just be another great place for me to get my regular fix of the concoction. What I didn't expect was that their "Drippy" actually took that amazing drink to the next level. For those who love coffee-flavored snacks and sweets like me, I love that coffee jelly is a mix-in for the drink. That Salted Foam though. Having it mixed in with the Vietnamese coffee is such a game-changer that I'm definitely going back for more. I haven't tried any of their other drinks, but this might be my one-and-done option. I also love that service here was quick and that there's plenty of nice and comfy looking seatings that are adorned with natural lights from their big windows. I didn't check to see if they offer free wifi, but if so, it'd be a nice spot for those who need to get work done remotely. read more

Really cute little café with delicious and unique Vietnamese coffee flavors--definitely strong, in the best way. The crispy pork bánh mì was really good and paired perfectly with the coffee. We went on a Sunday around 11:30am and there was no line, but by the time we left around 12:30pm, the line was out the door with about 20-30 people waiting. The café itself is small with only about four tables, so I'd recommend going earlier if you want to sit. Overall, totally worth the visit. read more

I stopped by one morning while in town for a conference. I was looking for a coffee shop near the convention center and decided to walk there. Drip was busy, and there is not much place to sit. This was no issue, since I planned on walking somewhere else to grab brunch. The place was clean and well lit, and the noise level was very low. The guy behind the counter was patient while I browsed their menu. I ended up choosing the drippy, and it was so good! I can see why this place was busy. Now I'm on a hunt for Vietnamese coffee in the DFW area. If you're looking for a good and strong coffee in Philly, make sure you stop by here! read more

This place could be extremely dangerous for me if they were closer. The drippy is strong and bitter but so so good! The foam is the perfect sweetness to take out the slight bitterness of the coffee and it the perfect combo. The wintermelon tea with the grass jelly and foam was such a delight. Tea was light and the grass jelly complimented it so well. The space isn't very large, but very cute. I came at the height of lunch and all tables were taken by people on their computers. Drinks were made quickly by the staff. Can't wait to go back read more

Great location, great aesthetic, and wonderful pictures! However, as much as I wanted to enjoy this place, it missed. The coffee was strong, yes as to be expected. The pandan flavor was only mild and masked by the bright color and coffee. As I was waiting for my drink I noticed they have cups just filled with Vietnamese coffee waiting to be filled when customers order. So, basically when you order your flavor or coffee of choice, they just fill it with the chosen flavor and ice. No effort really put into things, and the staff wasn't very friendly. read more

Really enjoyed this spot. Fairly new place I stumbled upon visiting Philly. Coffee a bit expensive but it was great. Would definitely stop by again if I lived in area as an occasional treat. Ube Coffee was great, also tried my friends Pandan Coffee. I've never been to an Asian Coffee shop that was able to make an Ube/Pandan coffee/late where the coffee didn't just overpower the taste. I could seriously taste the Ube still. Ube was definitely better, stronger flavor than Pandam, was able to really taste the Ube in the coffee. Some seating inside. Staff was kind. Hopefully they have some hot drinks available soon for the winter! Would recommend 5/5. read more

We were visiting Philly for the weekend and wanted to check out a Vietnamese coffee spot while walking around Chinatown. Came across Drip and decided to try it out. I ordered the pandan drip coffee and my wife got the ube. The pandan was excellent--smooth, unique, and just the right amount of sweetness. I'd get that one again and again. The ube, on the other hand, wasn't as strong in flavor, so probably wouldn't go for that one next time. Service was great--super friendly and quick--and the shop itself has a nice vibe, a good spot to hang out for a bit.

I love Drip! They're so unique with their flavors, and everything is so good. I'm also a huge fan of their banh mi. I recently had their banana Thai iced coffee; it wasn't overly sweet and was surprisingly one of my favorites. My only gripe is that their hours are very limited (9-5). Since I work those same hours and it's a bit of a trek, I can never get coffee or a banh mi before or after work. Hoping for a second location near Rittenhouse! read more

The place is small, but it feels cozy and not crowded. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the pork banh mi, which were both so good. The Vietnamese coffee is not like the traditional Viet coffees you'd get at a pho place (shoutout Pho75 for the best iced Vietnamese coffee in Philly); Brown Street's is very strong and thick and doesn't really have that sweet condensed milk taste. Still, it was unique, chocolately and smooth, and also really caffeinated! Their pork banh mi is one of the BEST banh mis I've had in general-- the pork is tender and juicy, and it is topped with an ample amount of pickled vegetables.

I was introduced to Haraz at a Yelp elite event I was attending a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted…read moreto make my way there to check their location out. We ordered our drinks on the walk there and we hoped they would be ready when we arrived. When we walked in the time changed to add about 15 min on which was a bit annoying however we were not in a rush so we calmly waited. I got the hot matcha latte and it was really good. I like only a drop of sweetener bc I like to taste the matcha. I like it served temperature hot (not warm)- and this drink arrived exactly the way I like it. Would def come back for another one. My bf got some kind of coffee w cardamom in it (sorry I forget which kind - I'm not a coffee drinker and they all sound the same to me ha). He really enjoyed his drink. He had a BOGO coupon so we each actually got 2 drinks. I planned to take my second one home but the drink was so good I drank both of them ha. Will def be back again.

So Yelp suggested Haraz Coffee House a few weeks ago and it's been on my radar ever since.... What…read moreI appreciated about Haraz on the day I visited was the late hours they kept, I visited on a Saturday night and it was buzzing. It's the fanciest looking coffee house I ever visited, there's outside seating which is nice and the inside is lit up with warm yellow lighting throughout, very spacious with tables and wicker like chairs. It seems like a great spot to meet up with a friend or to visit, find a corner read or work. It looks like a family establishment, as I noticed there were children behind the register, a young man, maybe 10 years old took my order and did a great job doing so! Bravo! I purchased a vanilla hot matcha latte and a pistachio milk cake, the total was about $21!!! This price was expensive, visiting establishment like this often is not feasible to my budget but there's so much more I need to try so I'll be back. The matcha was amazing, actually the most authentic I've tried!!! And the pistachio milk cake was delicious, being a person who literally puts milk on cake lol, this was amazing!!! It wasn't too sweet and the pistachio gave balance! The slice is enough to share or split for 2 servings, which is what I did. Bottom line, I'll be back! I'd love to try their coffee and another pastry and possibly sit outside on a nice day. Please visit and enjoy!!!

My only warning would be that if you don't like strong coffee, be careful. These drinks pack a caffeinated punch.

I could drink one every single day for the rest of my life and be happy. Some details: has a lot of seating, good Wi-Fi, stays open late, and has community events that look really interesting.

The line moved quick despite it being out the door and the staff were all very friendly and patient. Also, big plus-- they have a restroom! We got the Dankaroo soft serve (vanilla and cinnamon swirl dunked in cookies and cream coating). The coating was very sweet, but the soft serve itself was not too sweet and a very nice texture. The texture was a bit more icy than traditional soft serve (which I prefer). The shop is very casual and does not offer any seating that I saw.

I've had accounts with nearly a dozen banks over the years, and Capital One stands out as my favorite. They strike a rare balance between digital innovation and authentic, in-person service, and this location exemplifies that in a distinctive way. Capital One's app is excellent, intuitive, reliable, and more comprehensive than most. Features like Zelle are seamlessly integrated, and overall, it feels like a true "hub" for managing your finances. Additionally, Capital One's ATM network is impressive. I've been able to withdraw funds fee-free across platforms like Venmo, Chime, and PA unemployment, which I haven't seen matched elsewhere. The machines themselves are highly functional, offering deposits and multiple bill denominations, with a level of flexibility you don't typically see. What's more, you can withdraw cash without your debit card by scanning a QR code displayed on the ATM screen using the app on your phone, which is incredibly helpful if you ever lose your wallet or find yourself without it. For added convenience, inside the branch, there's a dedicated machine that issues cashier's checks digitally. This greatly simplifies and accelerates what is typically a manual, time-consuming task. The 17th and Walnut café is impressive--the coffee is genuinely good, and the 50% discount for Capital One account holders is a great perk. It also serves as a free coworking space with reservable breakout rooms, adding real utility and a strong sense of community. Above all, the people and culture here foster a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team is consistently courteous and approachable. Special thanks to Jessie (sp?) with the Capital One sneakers, who is always exceptionally friendly, offers treats for our dog, and connects so well with our kids. All of this exemplifies the broader Capital One culture, which is rare in financial services. I'm a big supporter of both this branch and the broader Capital One brand. Thank you!

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.

I personally thought the matcha one was the best. The service was quick and informative. And I loved the little booths they had, it was adorable. That aside, I do think the drinks are mediocre. I ordered their most popular, Mango Matcha and their Hojicha Latte. Sadly I was disappointed, the mango matcha was VERY sweet, but the texture was creamy. I just couldn't get over the overpowering sweetness of the mango puree, but that's my personal preference. The mango flavor itself wasn't bad! Maybe half sweet would be the way to go, Im not sure if they do adjustments. If you love yuzu, I don't recommend their yuzu soft serve HOWEVER their matcha soft serve is pretty yummy Their Hojicha was watery...I really hoped it would be better. I don't recommend it.
