    I've only tried their banana matcha so I can't speak to their coffee (which I've heard amazing things about), but this drink in particular is solid! I prefer a little stronger matcha flavor, but the quality was good. The banana cream top didn't taste artificial at all. They also have several seasonal drinks (I want to go back to try the piña colada matcha) and food items. The inside is pretty small, but super aesthetic, clean, quiet, great natural night, and there are several tables. I can envision it being a nice study spot too! I also left with a gift card for my roomie (this is one of her fave matcha spots in South Bay) and the staff member was kind and helpful.

    I love getting egg coffee here especially when I'm around the area. Egg coffee is my go to and Phin Cafe is one of my favorites for them. I do like my coffee a little darker so here and there I will add an extra shot or ask for less sweet coffee. The staff is patient and super helpful when recommending drinks too. The cafe itself is so cute and my kiddos love it here. They especially enjoy the spam masubis.

    Two years later, I'm still impressed by the consistency, service, and quality of the drinks and snacks here. Today I had an iced latte with oat milk and a chicken pastry, and both were great. I stopped by around 9:30 a.m., and it was calm, serene, and quiet. After 12 p.m., it tends to get jam-packed, so I'd definitely recommend going early if you want a more peaceful experience.

    Pandan Matcha ($7)

    Café Away A locally-owned specialty café that has seen a lot of success lately, as they've just opened their fourth location in less than four years (circa 2022). They specialize in Asian-style sweetened tea and coffee drinks with some unique flavors like Pandan, Ube, and Egg coffee. They also serve a small selection of bánh mì, musubi, and pastries. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Online orders and pickup available * Order and pay at the kiosk * Great décor and vibes inside. A great place for studying or just chilling out with a drink. * The Pandan Matcha was still a little too sweet for my liking despite selecting the "less sweet" option, but otherwise it was very good. The Meh: * The bánh mì were just okay. I wouldn't come here specifically for them, but if you happen to be here and you're hungry, they'll get the job done. * No outdoor seating The Ugly: * Located between a Salvation Army and a head shop, this location draws in some suspicious characters just lingering about the lot. Conclusion: Drinks were pretty good, but avoid the sandwiches. I'll probably skip this location and try their newer Campbell location next time, which is closer to home.

    Pandan Coffee
    Jade L.

    I've visited this location of Phin Café a couple times to work from café when visiting the South Bay. It's a great spot with a decent amount of seating and free WiFi. I was drawn to this place because of their speciality drinks, and I especially like the pandan coffee, which comes with a yummy cookie that's hollowed out, so it can be used as a straw to eat the pandan foam.

    I've been going here regularly as my favorite coffee shop for a while now! Even though I like to try new drinks from here when I see them advertised, I will always be faithful to my one true love, nutella banana coffee. Besides the drinks being amazing, the food is also amazing. I believe we tried the spinach and kale pate chaud, and also the chorizo one. Both were honestly amazing. To be honest, it's a bit pricey for a pastry so small but it is quite filling and I'd like to think it's worth it for the amount of labor that probably goes into making such a small bite absolutely amazing! The ambiance is also quite nice, people there are usually studying so it's quiet and very welcoming I'd say. I love the interior decorations as well because it makes this place feel like it's a separate own thing and not connected to the other stores nearby. I love the classical music covers that they play inside the store as well. The baristas are always nice and willing to help with giving any suggestions and answering questions for when I have/need any. And lastly, the wait time is very reasonably low for the amount of people also ordering. Overall, I love this place and I will continue to be back for that nutella banana coffee. + Phin Cafe and Goodwill makes me genuinely enter flow state

    Phin coffee with Xmas decor
    Vivian H.

    I've been hearing about Phin cafe for a few months now but haven't made a dedicated trip to try. Had lunch yesterday in the plaza across the street and saw it was close by!!!! Sunday afternoon around 2pm did not have a line, pretty quiet and empty besides 4-5 people waiting for their drinks. I walked in and was so happy to see a long list of Asian flavored cream topper to their coffeeee!!! I saw that they had durian, pandan, ube and of course egggg. There were more but those flavors stood out to me the most. The only downside is that they don't really tell you the difference between the house coffee or the in-house phin coffee unless you ask the cashier. The house coffee is their regular coffee with a flavor cream topper. The in-house Phin coffee has to be drank in store, comes with their drip coffee with condensed milk, the foam on the side and pieces of toasted baguette to dip and eat with it. After the cofffee is done, you pour into your cup of ice and put the cream top over it. We got the house coffee with durian topper and the Phin coffee with pandan topper. My friend and her bf both got pate chauds-- one sesame and one chicken. Wait time for food and drink was relatively quick. Maybe 5-10 minute or less. My friend mentioned the pate chaud was dry but flavor was ok. The lightly buttered sweet toasted baguette that came with the Phin coffee was also soooooo dry. I tried eating it and I couldn't even finish it, even dipping it in the cream didn't save it The coffee itself was pretty good!! The durian cream is very fragrant and yummy, not too overpowering but good for durian lovers. The pandan cream was also fragrant and had the classic coconut and light vanilla grassy taste. My friend's bf liked their coffee so much, he ordered the coconut one to go for later! Decor was very cute, I love the extra cushions and benches. They decorated it for Christmas so they have a bunch of Christmas display items.

    Corn Matcha
    Anh T.

    I ordered Phin Cafe to get me through one of those tired days in the office. I tried a few items and overall had a mixed but pleasant experience. The corn matcha was really good. It was smooth, lightly sweet, and comforting, with a subtle corn flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. The egg coffee was rich, creamy, and well balanced without being overly sweet. Unfortunately, the sticky rice was too hard and dry. I would definitely come back to try more drinks, but probably skip the sticky rice next time.

    Came across Phin Cafe while browsing Yelp for a drink and decided to stop by since it's close to home and the menu looked interesting online. We ordered: - Banana matcha (3/5): The banana flavor was pretty subtle, and while the matcha was decent, it leaned a bit on the grainy side. - Avocado smoothie (4.5/5): You really can't go wrong with this one; smooth, well blended, and perfectly creamy with the milk - Pandan coffee (3/5): The pandan initially tasted quite artificial, but once it was fully mixed into the coffee, it was just okay overall.

    Durian coffee and pandan matcha
    Jenny D.

    Durian coffee: 4/5 way better once mixed and some ice has melted. Strong durian flavor in the cream. Pandan matcha: 0/5 the pandan tastes artificial. Really does not taste like pandan anymore. It tasted more like the container it's been sitting in--plastic-y. Matcha tasted grainy. Pass on this. Not as strong as Tram Coffee, which I kinda like. Lots of people ahead of me but didn't even realize because they were all online orders. If you're in a rush, order online!

    Crystal G.

    Coffee was delicious and egg puffs were too. I had the pandan coffee. They give you the option to sub with alternative milk, and decaf if needed. You can use the tablet to order or wait for a staff member. They decorate was cute and holiday themed. When we arrived there was a large table available for our entire group (8 of us). Will go back to try other drinks and food!

    Coffee with matcha cloud
    David W.

    We came here on Christmas morning for our coffee fix. Located in a small strip mall, Phin Cafe is known for their Vietnamese coffee and other Asian inspired drinks. The service is really nice and everyone is friendly. There is ample parking in the strip mall. I went with a coffee latte with matcha cloud topping ($7). I wasn't sure what to expect mixing coffee with matcha, but it came out great. The latte tasted like a normal latte with milk and gave that coffee taste I was looking for. While the matcha cloud was sweet and fluffy, with a hint of bitter matcha flavoring. I loved it! A real match made in heaven. Overall, I'd definitely come back for another round of latte + matcha cloud, or to try something new.

    Salted Matcha
    Megan C.

    Tried this place out for the first time and I am obsessed with their salted matcha! I love that all of their house special drinks can be matcha's instead of coffees. I got less sweetness and it was the perfect level balanced out by their salted cream. The cafe is cute with a good amount of seating inside. Service was quick and line wasn't very long on a Saturday afternoon.

I came with my boyfriend hoping to sit outside, and while the balcony area was really nice, we were only offered a table right in front of the store, almost in the parking area, with no shade. There were tables on the balcony for larger parties, and I felt like the staff could have easily rearranged the tables to accommodate two people. Instead, she went inside to check if there was a larger group coming, even though we had arrived first and the seating is first come, first served since they don't take reservations. What bothered me most was the attitude and how the situation was handled. As someone who used to be a regular customer, that experience unfortunately made me feel differently about the place. The food and coffee are great, but customer service and making guests feel welcome matters most!
