    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Authentic Vietnamese coffee right in the heart of Chinatown! Hien serves up the real deal, and I love that they offer different versions so you can opt for a lighter option if you prefer

    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!

    One of my favorite viet cafes in nyc. The owner Christmas is super nice and gave me A great recommendation, which was the classic Vietnamese iced coffee. It was slightly sweet didn't give me a jittery crash and overall very flavorful. I also tried one of her homemade cookies which is also made from Vietnamese coffee beans and it was slightly sweet as well and super yummy. I definitely recommend anybody who's trying this spot for a cozy chill vibe.

    The Classic. Medium sweet. Aesthetic place and coffee.

    Aesthetic place. Aesthetic coffee. I am Viet and from San Jose. So I have a thing for Vietnamese coffee. My go to when I visit NYC.

    I did less ice

    I initially was just picking up one of the sweet coffees (cà phê sũa dá) but took a sip and quickly ordered another. Good amount of sweet and strong coffee flavour. Only two coffees really but they are good. Got the coffee in under a minute. Very sweet girl working. Super small store in Chinatown and easy to miss but made for a fun little walk dilly-dallying around

    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).

    Vibe/ambiance: old school Viet coffee shop with minimal seating (small wooden stools), no bathroom Service: super sweet owner! Items ordered: - Ca Phe Sua Da, decaf ($8) love that they had a decaf option; you can customize the sweetness

    L * classic Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk

    Cozy little coffee shop serving delicious classic Vietnamese coffee. The coffee is aromatic and perfectly sweetened with condensed milk. The cafe is tiny but cozy

    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.

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
