    ​What an absolute treat! I just found a hidden gem of a coffee shop with amazing service and a killer cup of coffee. The Vietnamese coffee is incredibly strong and sweet, and that cold foam? Out of this world!!! 10/10 recommend!

    The vibe is no frills, chill, not the most comm seating for work. Not a working cafe. Cute for a coffee with friends with some limited seating outside. Matcha is amazing, hojocha is amazing, Vietnamese coffee is amazing. I'm not a ube in my matcha type, but they got that too. Service is chill, they're all nice, and never gotten attitude from anyone.

    Not a single miss on this menu! The coffee always has me bouncing off the walls and makes me get my stuff done for the day. My favorites are the egg coffee, salted cream coffee, salted cream matcha ube, and the mango passion fruit tea. There's seating inside and a few spots outside. Parking sucks in this area, but it's worth the trip.

    I got banana matcha and my friend got the ube one. The first couple sips of the banana were AMAZING but then I was getting a slight aftertaste / feeling of unripe banana /: My friend's ube matcha was goooood in the sense that the ube flavor was strong but it was unsweetened so not my cup of tea Staff was friendly and the interior is very cute!! A couple tables to sit as well

    My sister and I kind of stumbled upon this place on our way to an event. I love all things pandan! Street parking can be a little tricky in this area. The staff was really nice and friendly. I enjoyed my drink and it was also pretty to look at! It was cutely decorated inside and was very comfortable. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't too busy. I wish there was one closer to me!

    Visited Nam Coffee on a quiet Saturday morning. Cashier was friendly and drink was prepared quickly. Love that it's clean, comfortable and have free WiFi here. Their menu had a couple interesting drinks i was deciding between but I went with my go-to classic Vietnamese egg coffee. I love that it was a perfect balance of creamy egg topping and strong bitter coffee. Each drink costs about $8 which is on the pricey side but usual for specialty coffee nowadays. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks though!

    The only thing is parking is an issue in the area. Cute neighborhood coffee place. I got the hot ube matcha and it was just perfect! My formed got the Saigon coffee and he loved it. Friendly staff, good for a quick meet up with friends.

    Ube Cream Matcha

    4 stars Decided to stop by after a doctor's appointment and I wasn't disappointed. This coffee shop is cute and gives off highland park hipster vibes lol. It's clean and comfortable and the customer service is really nice. Bonus points for being vegan friendly. They even carry/sell condensed oatmilk! These were the drink I got: Signature Vegan ($7): Vietnamese coffee w/ condensed oatmilk. Definitely worth getting if you're vegan and haven't tried Vietnamese coffee b/c they've always used condensed milk. Unfortunately, it's not quite the coffee intensity I prefer. 4/5 stars Salted Cream Matcha Ube ($8.75 + $0.75): Subbed with oatmilk, but salted cream isn't lactose-free. This drink was surprisingly good. Very ube forward and not sweet. I ended up asking for a little sweetener, which perfected the drink. However, the price is insane. 4/5 stars Like another reviewer has pointed out, the parking here sucks, but I won't hold that against them.

    Saw this spot on tiktok and visited on a Saturday morning. It's on this cute little quiet street in Silverlake that I've never visited before, and there are a few cafes and restaurants that we were curious about. Nam has many options on the menu to choose from-- coffee, to matcha, and teas. When I go with my SO, we always opt for a coffee drink and a matcha to mix it up. I've had my fair share of egg coffee and pandan flavored drinks and that's what we ordered here to try. The egg coffee is a perfect balance of the strong, chocolate-y taste of Vietnamese coffee and sweet creamy egg topping. The pandan matcha was different than other ones I've had. It had a super bright pandan syrup that was still a really good punch of pandan and paired well with the matcha. While waiting for our drinks, I observed the cashier's interactions, she was so nice with everyone and the regulars that seem to often stop by. I love a good local spot!!

    Egg coffee is great. Small, quiet, coffee shop. Been coming weekly cuz my child lol is preggers and she wants coffee every time we come to appointment down the street. But sadly, no longer coming back. Only had cash but they won't take cash. Like some people do not understand that cash is LEGAL TENDER! Tired of the SHE eep who comply to TEE- ranical practices & pushing no cash agenda. Think about it. If you needed some extra funds, you can no longer get a side gig for cash for small jobs like maybe baby sitting or something similar. You are helping to build & support that PRI son. Tried to tell you. Good luck.

    Saigon coffee, pumpkin vietnamese coffee, Salted cream matcha ube, matcha latte, strawberry matcha latte
    Monica T.

    I got the pumpkin Vietnamese coffee and my friends got the Saigon coffee, salted cream matcha ube, matcha latte, and strawberry matcha latte. Everything was really good and we all liked our drinks. The pumpkin Vietnamese coffee was seasonal and I really enjoyed it! wasn't too sweet and balanced really well with the pumpkin foam. The salted cream matcha ube comes unsweetened, but you can add sweetener if you want. Their menu is huge with so many cool and interesting drinks, so I'd definitely come back to try more. Parking is street/metered only and seating inside is pretty limited. There's no bathroom, but they do have free wifi so you can still get some work done. Service was nice, just a little slow when I came, probably training a new worker. Other than that, no complaints. The interior is also really cute. Would definitely come back!

    hojicha and pumpkin coffee
    Stephanie C.

    This was one of the best hojichas I've ever had!! Seeing the menu gave me decision paralysis and I settled on their pumpkin coffee along with the hojicha. The coffee flavor was strong and complemented the sweet cream top well, but it was just okay to me. But that sweet, nutty, earthy hojicha??? Okay... I will be coming back!!! Shoutout to the person who took our order for dealing with my indecisiveness. Thankfully, if she was annoyed, she didn't show it, so I feel welcome to come back soon :)

    One of my favorite things to do while I'm out in LA is to try local coffee shops. This one definitely didn't disappoint! It's a cute little cozy space that is truly inviting. The music fits the ambiance perfectly! You are greeted with a smile when you walk in & the girl taking our order was very sweet and helpful. I ordered a Viet Pumpkin Latte and my daughter ordered a strawberry matcha. They were both delicious and the coffee was strong and extra hot...exactly how I like it! We loved the coffee and the experience. I would like to briefly mention that the pastries weren't what I expected them to be. The pumpkin muffin didn't taste like pumpkin, and the banana muffin was just OK a little too sweet for my liking. But the coffee was superb.

She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.

This shop is especially effective, offering good quality and great service that seamlessly integrates into the local community and vibe. I came in a Sunday morning after my child had her class at the nearby Klub Gymnastics center. We entered via the surprisingly scenic riverwalk amongst active hikers and bikers, past the nearby bike rental shop, and got in line. The place was packed and filled with like-minded family and others enjoying the morning. With essentially identical products, I evaluate chains like Colombe and Starbucks by how well they integrate with a local community and how busy it is. More people coming and going, more lingering, and more laughter and conversation overheard is what I like to see. This Colombe location fit the bill perfectly, filled to the brim with people were taking in the most of a humid day Frogtown. My large iced tea Chai Tea latte was delicious, as expected, and although a little bit pricey ($7 with tax), it came with great service, a friendly smile, and staff who offered to help my daughter fill her a little cup with water. A friend got the marshmallow s'mores croissant (see pictures) and reported it tasted as delectable as it looked. Truly, this Colombe location embodies the best of what a coffee shop can be, and is absolutely worth a visit during a walk along the LA river or a lazy morning in Frogtown.

The London fogs were very light in flavor. The sandwiches were ready made for us to grab from the refrigerator. My friends enjoyed their turkey and Italian sandwiches which they said were filling. The veggie sandwich had a piece of lettuce, few pieces of artichoke, pickled peppers, and few strips of onion. The veggie sandwich left a lot to be desired, but food options along the river are very limited.

Ordered a drink here because we needed to use a restroom and always feel bad just crashing for that. I normally would order their coffee but i have to watch my caffeine intake so ordered a small iced vanilla matcha. I think it was $7.50 - the average price around town. Upon getting the drink, I was disappointed that the vanilla syrup wasn't mixed. Typically, the matcha is poured over the top so milk and matcha is separate but the sweetener is typically mixed into the drink. Then, came the taste test...and TBH, it was just okay. I'm no matcha snob but it was mediocre...and really, my fault. La Colombe is known for their coffee, not their matcha. However, it was the best $7.50 we spent being able to use their restroom and having found seats outside, we were able to sit and enjoy our bagel sandwiches from Yeastie Boys, pretty much right outside by La Colombe on Sunset.
