    What a beautiful and cool place to be. There is some street parking around the area and a decent amount of seating inside. It's bright, cozy, and cool inside. There is a community space that you can borrow and book out! There's a little store front in the back that you can get some cool and unique things. We got the Ca Phe Sua Da and Ca Phe Chuoi, with a Banh Mi Pa Te. The drinks were made well, tasted delicious, and nostalgic. The banh mi was super flavorful and I crave it often. Everything was great! Staff was busy but nice and they were helpful with questions. A good experience for traditional Viet coffee and snacks but also some modern takes with traditional flavors. I would recommend for small groups, a casual date, or just some nostalgic and traditional flavors. I will be coming back!

    Pandan Croissant - Made with coco pandan condensed milk, butter, and fleur de sel. Unfortunately, the added butter overwhelmed the croissant and took away from the pandan flavor. It ended up tasting very savory, with very little pandan coming through, and it was also quite messy to eat. Cà Phê Chuối - One of their most popular drinks, likely because it's on the sweeter side and very creative. It features caramelized banana, coconut, pandan egg whip, salted peanuts, and banana chips. The combination is unique and enjoyable, especially if you like dessert-style coffee drinks. Cà Phê Brûlée - A torched egg coffee that I highly recommend ordering hot. Be sure to grab a spoon, you'll need it to crack the caramelized egg layer and mix it in. Drinking it straight through a straw means you'll miss the brulee flavor entirely. Plenty of street parking!

    I finally got to come out here and tried one of the egg cream coffees. Coffee was strong and bitter (not a bad thing) and the egg cream was very rich and sweet, which paired together well. When I went there was an event going on in the space, so it was crazy chaos and crowded. It was hard to chill and enjoy my drink. I also didn't know they serve food so next time I'll come for both instead of eating elsewhere and coming here after for drinks. I'm looking forward to coming back!

    My friends really wanted to try Vietnamese coffee in the area, so we decided to visit Hello Em Viet Coffee. They had a really intriguing menu, and the inside was also nicely decorated, displaying some rustic aspects you might see if you were actually in Vietnam. DRINKS: Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed by their drinks. The flavors fell a bit flat to me, and they were pretty pricey considering the small volume you receive. The cups were adorable and aesthetic, but they made mixing your drinks difficult. Cà Phê Chuối (3/5) - A really pretty-looking drink. My eyes enjoyed it more than my taste buds. The strong coffee flavor was there, but it only tasted bitter and lacked depth. The hints of banana I did taste were pleasant, though. Trà Chôm Chôm (3.5/5) - Rambutan and passion fruit oolong tea drink. It was more sour than I was expecting, but I didn't mind it. SERVICE: My friend wanted her drink adjusted, and they were very receptive about it. Drinks also came out quickly. TLDR// I found this place and its drinks super visually charming. Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed by the taste of the drinks. Many people seemed to enjoy the food here, so maybe if I ever stop by again, I'll order some food.

    I came back to Hello Em and decided to try the Cà Phê Chuối and Cà Phê Brûlée this time. Both drinks were okay. But they didn't quite capture that deep, robust flavor you usually get from traditional cà phê. The Cà Phê Chuối had a nice hint of banana, but I wish the coffee came through a bit stronger. The Cà Phê Brûlée was fun and creamy, though a bit on the lighter side for my taste. The service was friendly and attentive, which I always appreciate. The interior is spacious and airy, with plenty of room to sit and chat or get some work done. Even though the drinks weren't my favorite this round, I still like the overall vibe and will probably be back to try something different next time.

    I like this cafe! They have good egg coffee and sandwiches where are all made to order. Service was fast and I particularly enjoyed the graphics on the cup. I came on a Sunday afternoon before closing and was surprised to find this place packed! All the seats inside were taken with us ultimately siting outside on the stairs right outside the cafe. I wonder what the business level is on a weekday which might be a better time to visit if seating is very important to you.

    Good coffee to try, however, it doesn't give the traditional Vietnamese coffee taste to me. It felt like there was a lack of sweetness/condensed milk in the drink. Essentially the coffee tasted like American coffee but with some sweetness. The torched egg foam was nice to drink. The cà phê chuối had too much cream/foam for me. But gave a bit more of the traditional Viet coffee taste. The service was good. Our questions were answered and it didn't take too long for the drinks to be made. The ambiance is nice. Nicely decorated and organized with good lighting.

    Super cute restaurant with a lot of decorations and a really cute seating area. There were a good amount of seats too. I didn't love my drink but would still give this place 4 stars bc the workers were very happy to make adjustments after I tried it. I also liked my friend's ca phe chuoi a lot and would have been happy to drink that one as it was Ca phe la dua: 2/5. The coffee flavor was super strong, which is kind of expected with Vietnamese coffee. But I was expecting a lot more pandan and condensed milk flavor based on the description. It was good after I added pandan foam, but I wouldn't have been able to finish this as it was originally made

    Love the coffee. We will have to try their food next time but had stopped in before going to brunch with friends. I had their coffee at a desert shop in West Seattle (Happy Pandy) which I also recommend. The coffee was so good that I had to get some for home and of course had them make us a delicious coffee while we were there. The Egg custard they put on my latte was interesting and certainly worth it. A fun little shop that has great coffee. The roaster himself was the one to help us and it was very nice chatting with him about the coffee and what they have to offer. While not the most convenient location, lots of street parking and well worth it!

    This one was a seasonal drink with apple jelly or something and esspresso not my favorite

    The sandwiches were pretty good, but the coffee was even better! My boyfriend and shared 5 drinks between the two of us. I really enjoyed the cafe Maggie the Maggie Carmel was delicious and paired so well with this drink! The drinks and food were prepared in a timely manner. The service was nice, the cashier was so patient with us as we were figuring out what to order. This space is so cute, with history on the walls and it was combined with a work space/studio.

    Such a cute gem! Hello 'em has all the things that make a coffee shop delightful- bright open space, enough seating, delicious foods, and enticing drinks. It even has a kids corner and books. On my most recent trip, I got the croissant sandwich. It had eggs, mayo, pate, and then grilled on a panini press. It was so satisfying on flavor and portion size. I didn't get a coffee this time, although it probably would have helped to have a nice hot dark coffee to cut through the food. I'll have to go back!

    It's such a cute and small coffee shop right outside of China town. I love that there were coffee and food options. The service was friendly and patient as they answered all our questions. We ordered 2 sandwiches, and a few coffees to try. Their banana milk is pretty good. Plain with no coffee.

    Toasted egg coffee

    I got the Torched Egg Coffee and honestly, it looked great but didn't taste good at all. There was way too much foam for my liking, and the coffee itself had a weird, unpleasant flavor. The café space was cute with plenty of low seating and small tables. The only desk-height table was along the wall, but it was pretty dirty. To top it off, a bug fell into my drink after just a few sips -- definitely not the experience I was hoping for.

    The cafe experience was amazing. The ono grindz was perfect and the aromatic coffer.we lovedr

    Where can I find the phone number to this place?

    They don't have it listed. You can use their email ( hi@helloem.coffee) or call via their Instagram: (hello.em_coffee). Or ask them for their number via Facebook page.

    Do they sell beans?

    Yes they do! They roast them in house too.

    What is the difference between the egg cloud and the egg crème?

    Egg cream is the traditional version, very thick, and very creamy. Egg cloud is much lighter, almost like a thick foam. Plus the egg yolk vs egg white difference that is already mentioned.

    Are any of your coffee keto friendly?

    lol no way they either use condensed milk or coconut milk

    This place has such awesome vibes with large windows to capture every photon from the typical grey…read morewinter day in Seattle. Exposed brick wall and warm tones from the wood furniture makes this shop a cozy third place. A few indoor plants give it a fresh touch. The baristas here are definitely dedicated to their craft! Their drink offerings are standard, although they also have housemade syrups and specialty drinks (seasonal mochas, lattes, etc) if you want to try something different. I love how they highlight their single origin espresso on the menu with the tasting notes. They also offer matcha and teas if you're more into that. I haven't tried any bakery goods, but looking at the pastry case, they're quite popular. Victrola embodies the perfect Seattle coffeehouse- one that I wish people knew more widely rather than the twin tailed siren that's spread globally...

    I don't normally drink coffee (I'm more of a tea person, if all the boba and tea shop reviews I…read morewrite don't say anything!), but I'm always up for new experiences, especially ones that allow me to expand my taste horizons and ability to describe flavors and aromas. After booking a tea tasting at a local tea shop, I went around looking for coffee tastings and found Victrola. Every Friday at 11AM, they offer a free tasting class, so we, of course, booked the very next Friday! Arriving at the shop a bit before 11AM, it was pretty full, with most tables taken and a short line of 2-3 people in front of me. We checked in with the cashier and he said the barista was getting things ready. Maybe 5 minutes later, we were led to the room in the back, where the barista introduced the tasting experience and handed us two sheets of paper, one with the anatomy of a coffee cherry, and the other with their coffee flavor wheel. For this week, it was only us two for the tasting, so we had a full monopoly of the barista (according to him, the prior week was 8 people!). We were able to try two coffees - both single origin, one from Guatemala and the other from Colombia. We started by sniffing the beans and grounds, with the Guatemalan emanating notes of lightly roasted peanuts (per tasting notes, it's milk chocolate, orange, and "elegant") and the Colombian with dark soy and umami notes (per tasting notes, it's pineapple, melon, and date), at least to my nose. The barista brewed both via pour over (if I remember correctly, it was 203F water with 20g of the Guatemalan, 24g of the Colombian in 360g of water). I forgot the exact grind sizes he used. Interestingly, the flavor profile of the Colombian was completely different to me between the grounds and the final brew. Very fruity throughout - I'm not that adept at description, but it's definitely a fresher, crisp fruit, not dried fruit, and not red fruit or berries, nor citrus. I'll have to file this one away as pineapple and green apple, per the barista. In terms of mouthfeel, it's thick, almost syrupy, coating the mouth with the fruity flavors. The Guatemalan, on the other hand, is completely different, starting with roasted coffee, then still with the peanut notes, but also adding a caramel-like essence. Very 'brown' on the color wheel. Mouthfeel-wise, thinner, watery like tea. I have never had good quality coffee before and this was certainly an experience that opened my eyes to how good coffee can actually be. I still have a ton of tea leaves to go through, but perhaps when I'm nearing the end, I'll have to start drinking more coffee. Tea, then chocolate, and now maybe coffee? My wallet is crying...

The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that.

Without her "service", I'd double my rating.
