What's not to love about vietnamese coffee? This is the one time I joke about being a crack head because WHY is vietnamese coffee so damn good, so addictive, and keeps you hella up in the day time and night time? I heard about this place from a friend and I had to try. Once you step in, the vibes are chill. The owner/workers here are super sweet, friendly, and very informative. They want you to have a good coffee and want to make sure they make it to your liking - by even asking how sweet do you want it? You know "asian" sweetness is a thing and we don't always want it too sweet. I ordered the iced viet coffee topped with the oatmilk - full caffeine. I must say... honestly, the oatmilk is not giving. I think the drink would have been fine without it because before I mixed the drink up completely, I had the coffee and it was absolutely delicious. Strong and bold like I like, and the perfect sweetness. With the oatmilk mixed, I felt like I had it watered down a bit too much. Next time I know. Prices were roughly $9-$10... not bad considering the economy we're living in... although comparably to vietnamese deli's in Seattle, you can find an iced coffee for about $5 more or less. Nevertheless, this place is wonderful. Charming, friendly, and delicious handmade coffee that is super addicting. Would definitely recommend! read more

Hien From Vietnam - Iced viet coffee with oatmilk - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

((4.25 stars)) Hien From Vietnam is a small Vietnamese coffee and tea shop, planted in Chinatown. the tiny coffee shop is quietly brews a handful of coffee and tea drinks in the hustle-n-bustle of the city. the interior is serene. cool dark woody interior with an artsy vibe to it. there's a small wall of stationery items, a few seats on each side of the interior, and the coffee / tea counter where the drinks get made. space is at a premium and there's not much room. most people seem to grab-n-go bc the space can only accommodate only a few people at a time. the menu is made up a few coffee and tea drinks. tried the "Viet Black Coffee of the Day" during the winter. the roast was fine and had good coffee flavor, but nothing memorable beyond that. more recently, i stopped by and ordered the classic Vietnamese iced coffee (Ca The Sun) which i took to go. the coffee hit the spot on a hot day--the coldness of the drink, the flavorful boldness of the coffee, and the sweetness of the condensed milk made for an enjoyable walk around downtown Manhattan. i'm pretty sure the drip coffee portion of the iced coffee is pre-batched because i got my drink pretty quickly (traditional brewing of a cup of coffee through a phin takes like 7-10 minutes before the condensed milk, ice, etc. is added). this makes sense as it would take forever to get a drink without the drip coffee being brewed beforehand. the owner/operator is pretty chill--didn't really speak to her beyond ordering. definitely come here for a traditional Vietnamese coffee drink, and enjoy it while exploring Chinatown & beyond. read more

Wowza! Talk about a legit Vietnamese coffee shop. Nothing I've ever had compared to the full blown taste that comes out of this coffee. And I had it with less caffeine! Their signature Vietnamese iced coffee comes with 3 choices- strong caffeine, less caffeine and decaf. Then they have some other drink options but I'd recommend going for the original to get a true experience. The shop itself is heavenly to walk in. Plants themed everywhere, a cute art display on the right, and some seating spaced out. The staff was really nice and overall the vibe of the place was super chill and relaxing. Don't expect to bring your laptop and work though- there isn't much space for seating though if you come at off peak you may have a chance! read more

This place is super cute and it is not just a coffee shop but they sell super cute greeting cards too. Not many seating options here more of a grab and go place. Very zen feeling place. The coffee just did not do it for me probably because I didn't really know what I wanted. I wanted something that tasted like an iced latte. I think the barista gave me a black coffee with milk. I'm really not too sure but I know alot of people like this place. It just did not do it for me and ai have been to other vietmanese coffee shops in the city that ai have enjoyed more. read more

My new favorite Vietnamese coffee place. It is SO incredibly charming inside and the staff is super friendly too; you can tell a lot of love and curation was poured into this place, the menu, and the coffee - everything is A+. For the coffee, you can choose how strongly caffeinated it will be (vietnamese coffee is notoriously strong) and how sweet. As a vietnamese coffee lover I tend to go for how it comes here and really enjoy it each time. I love the reminder to sip slow - to really enjoy it and not just inhale it, to let it become a longer part of your day. The crushed ice is the perfect accompaniment to this strong coffee. They also sell little treats and a few artsy trinkets that you can pick up on your way as well. I really really hope this place sticks around for a long time as it's one of my favorite new openings of the year. read more

Located in Chinatown, this quaint coffee shop offers some of New York's most authentic Vietnamese coffee. The inside of the cafe is small with some seating and a little shop area for you to buy stationary. The owner was an absolute pleasure to talk to and so sweet. Although Vietnamese coffee typically makes me SUPER jittery, I felt that this was a good balance of energy and the strong scent of Vietnamese coffee beans (without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack). I personally love how you have the option for a lighter caffeine version as well as the option to decrease the sweetness level. A bit pricey but worth supporting a small business and having some amazing coffee. read more

I went to this quaint coffee shop, specializing in Vietnamese coffee, a while ago. Along with coffee, they also sell Vietnamese tea as well as some pickles and concentrate versions of their coffee. The woman working here was very friendly, and there was a nice, calming atmosphere and cool aesthetic here. For the price, the location is a bit odd as it is right near a bunch of reasonably priced Chinese spots, though I guess it's on the way to Soho. I went with a Cà Phê Sữa Đá/Ca Phe Sua Da, also known as a Vietnamese Iced Coffee made with condensed milk. There is a full-strength version, which I ordered along with two other options: a low-caffeine and a naturally decaffeinated version. The small iced version is $8 while the large is $12, though that doesn't appear to be on the menu anymore. You can also get it without condensed milk for $6, or with standard milk for the same price, with there also being an oat version for 50 cents more. All menu aside, the ice is crushed, which I didn't mind as it didn't dilute the coffee anytime soon. The coffee was excellent and closest to what I tried in Saigon and Hanoi from the shops I've been to, having a strong but balanced pour. It also wasn't overly sweet from the condensed milk, which is my definite preference for this style of coffee. It felt more like a drink to sip compared to other coffees, almost feeling a bit more special, which made the price a bit more justified. It's quite pricey for Chinatown, let alone Chinatown standards, but the quality of the coffee I had was excellent. I would go back here once in a while, treating myself occasionally like I do at most of the expensive Yemeni coffee shops. read more

One of the best Vietnamese coffees I've had stateside! Although a bit pricey, I thought it was well worth trying (and plus, I've definitely had worse for much more around here, which I chalk up to NYC pricing). The coffee is smooth, bold, and aromatic, and the crushed ice shape was what I thought made a huge difference to other coffees. I love that you can also adjust the caffeine and sweetness levels. The barista was so friendly and the cafe itself is small yet like a beautifully and well curated little art space. Will definitely be back! read more

It was slightly sweet didn't give me a jittery crash and overall very flavorful.

I definitely recommend anybody who's trying this spot for a cozy chill vibe. read more

I was in Chinatown early morning and looking for a coffee shop to visit. I saw Hien From Vietnam on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The menu I saw was just two drinks. A classic Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, and the same classic with the addition of whole milk. I've often thought I would enjoy Vietnamese iced coffee with a little less condensed milk and a splash of whole milk, and here it was on the menu. The flavor of the coffee was fabulous. One of the most delicious coffees I've had. I will say I wish the ice wasn't crushed, it made it hard to drink with my straw. The coffee might have been on of the most delicious, but it was also the most expensive regular sized coffee I've ever ordered at $10.88 (not including tip). read more

Just tried Hien's iced coffee, and it was the perfect caffeine jolt I needed. Even the ice is well thought out as instead of cubes, she offers ice a step above shaved so it doesn't melt too quickly. As someone who doesn't like sweet drinks, I don't indulge in Vietnamese iced coffees often, but this was up there as one of the better ones I've had in recent years. Strong, balanced and most definitely hit the spot! I love it here and Hien is always very welcoming . Always a warm smile, nice conversation and she now is starting to offer pastries -- can't wait to try one on an upcoming visit! Thank you, Hien! Always enjoy visiting when I'm in the area. read more

The thing is with Vietnamese coffee is that there's a certain flavor profile that I can never identify with my barbarian tongue. I've had Viet coffee from its motherland and something about their poor water quality and different milk pasteurization process that really gives their coffee a strong kick. I felt the same kick when drinking this. I think that's all I'll say. read more

It's been ages since a drink left me this impressed, and @hien.fromvietnam absolutely delivered! Their classic Vietnamese iced coffee was a dream--smooth, bold, and perfectly sweet. Pure perfection in a cup. Thinking back, my very first coffee experience was likely Vietnamese iced coffee at a Vietnamese restaurant, so this hit all the right nostalgic notes. I'll be honest: at $8.71 after tax, it felt a bit steep for the size. But Vietnamese coffee isn't your average gulp-and-go drink. It's strong, meant to be sipped slowly and savored, not chugged post-workout. And trust me, every sip was worth it. . I don't believe it's brew to order, but based on her IG, she still uses the traditional phin, but I would think it's brewed previously--it's a slow process, and in today's grab-and-go world, who has time to wait? All I know is the taste was phenomenal, and that's what matters most. . If you're a fan of Vietnamese iced coffee (or just curious!), do yourself a favor and visit @hien.fromvietnam. You won't be disappointed! read more

Needed a Viet coffee fix. A tad pricey as it's $8 pre-tax for a small esp in Chinatown (not Soho, Noho, etc.). The day we went it was really cold and I noticed they had these influencers/models shooting in the small shop and it occupied all of the stools/seating (both sides of store so customers could only grab and go). I asked if the owner knew when they would be done and she smiled and said no, whenever they're done... Just would've been nice to stay warmed up a bit before read more

What is really unique about this place is that they have a decaf Vietnamese coffee option, which is rare and much appreciated! The flavor of the coffee was perfect. I almost really liked it but I personally would have preferred some regular milk to dilute the concentrated coffee and condensed milk. It had the consistency of a thick Vietnamese coffee slushie. read more

Hien From Vietnam has been on my list for a while since they opened and I believe they took over the storefront from 12 corners. It's a very cozy space with about 3 tables or so so 3 groups can comfortably sit in. I believe Hien (the owner) is the only one working and when we stepped in, it was so cute! On the right side there's customized cards that are very unique that you can purchase. The menu is limited but packs a punch especially since they're serving viet coffee. I got a hot viet coffee with 25% sweetness and an iced viet coffee with 25% sweetness too. The iced version tasted sweeter than the hot version so keep that in mind. I also do not recommend doing 25% sweetness unless you prefer the bitter taste. Next time I visit, I'll definitely get at least 30-35% sweetness! read more

One of the best coffee experiences I've had in Manhattan. The Vietnamese coffee was outstanding--deep, bold, and perfectly smooth--and instantly took me back to the authentic coffee I had while traveling in Vietnam a few years ago. It's rare to find that level of authenticity, and this place truly delivers. What made the experience even more special was the owner, who was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You can feel the passion and care behind everything here. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates great coffee and real hospitality. read more

NYC is in need of more Vietnamese iced coffee places, and this is the best one I've been to! The owner is so sweet, and when we visited, it was her 99th day being open! Definitely go and support her because as a self-proclaimed fanatic of Vietnamese iced coffee, I was obsessed with hers. I love that she has crushed ice because it slowly melts into the coffee and even turns it into a slush versus having huge cubes that dilute the taste of the drink. This coffee definitely woke me up, and I will be a returning customer! read more

Their Vietnamese iced coffee is no joke! Strong but still the perfect sweetness. I saw Hien from Vietnam on social media and came to try it out. It was a quiet day so there was no line for a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered the ca phe sua da with full caffeine and regular sweetness. It was prefect for me, but I prefer sweeter drinks. It came with crushed ice which is the traditional way it's served. I loved my drink, and the employee was so friendly and helpful. It's a small space inside but definitely worth it if you're in the Chinatown area! read more

Hien From Vietnam - Ca phe sua da full caffeine - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

A little on the pricier side so its not coffee i can get on a daily basis but its good. I like that they have decaf. I know, most people would tell me I'm stupid for even getting coffee at all if l'm looking to get decaf. But hey, I like my coffee. I like the taste. But as a new mother with a infant that cant handle caffeine, I don't have much choice. Most fancy café, especially vietnamese coffees do not offer decaf so I was very happy to see it here. What's even more impressive is how the flavor is still so good despite being decaf!! Maybe I just do not know where to look but the decaf I normally find are very mild in flavor. Recommended. read more

A small place tucked in Chinatown but cozy and artfully curated inside with incredibly strong Viet coffee. I've had plenty of ca phe sua da's but this one put some hair on my chest, like wow. I was sipping on it and I could feel the caffeine immediately. I was absolutely wired all day. I'd highly recommend trying this spot out for Viet coffee!! read more

A bit pricey for a small at $8 before tax. It's good but not $8 good... I already had coffee and just finished having lunch as well so I was pretty full but I still decided to get another coffee since I was close by. Small spot, some benches and stools on both sides. Since all the benches were taken, we decided to drink it slowly as we walked to our next location. Since we were so full and already full of caffeine...I only took a few sips. It's strong. I drink my coffee with some milk or sometimes just black with a lil cold foam for sweetness or if I feel like sugar I do put condensed milk when I'm home. The lady working at the register was nice and knew L wanted his coffee really sweet. I would've preferred it a lil less sweet...so when all the ice melted over a hr later, I think it tasted a lot better. I don't think I liked it enough to return but I'm glad I tried it. read more

This is such a cute cafe that looks and feels so different from the others. It's got low stools, dark furnishings, and has a limited menu. While it's pricey for a Vietnamese coffee, I think it's well worth treating yourself to. I ordered a simple Vietnamese iced coffee with full caffeine and 70% sweetness. It was strong, smooth, and just sweet enough. The highlight was actually the ice, which was so small that it felt like there was a constant stream of it going up the straw. read more
