    okay, woah. The coffee shop has a cute interior design and a great place to catch up with friends. I love all the coffee options, including ube, pandan, and pistachio. There's something so satisfying about how they have coffee, milk teas, fruit teas, and smoothies which would felt overwhelming... something for everyone and any time of day. I got the pistachio coffee. Sweetness could not be adjusted, but honestly it was really tasty with 100% sweetness! The foam was silky with a strong nutty flavor, balancing out the strong Vietnamese coffee

    Interesting concept that drew us there. Tiramisu cake on top of a boba drink. Tiramisu cakes on the matcha and coffee were both good individually, but didn't make sense inside the drink. Eventually was left with a strange drink full of cake bits. Coffee with sesame foam was pretty good and so was the coffee with egg foam. Nice folks working there and the restaurant was clean.

    Phin Capphe and Boba is one of my top three tea shops in Portland. Every drink that I've had from them is delicious. I've gotten hooked on the Pandan foam. Service is friendly. You can tell that they take the time to make high quality drinks and provide exceptional variety. My go to drink is a green Thai tea with egg pudding and Pandan foam. I also had their special iced matcha latte with matcha tiramisu and it was super delicious. I'd recommend making a top here for a delicious and unique beverage.

    Egg coffee at 50% sweet.

    Lately, they quickly sell out of food options (or they never made any in the first place.) Here's a thought: make/order more. And the wait times are just getting painfully long. Maybe done giving them my business as they're definitely slipping.

    Still one of the best authentic with a modern twist Vietnamese coffee spot in town! Can't forget to mention the staff is super friendly and their shop is so adorable inside as well. Next time im going to venture out and try something else.

    Saw this place close by to where we were visiting and decided to check it out. Located in a huge plaza, w/ ample parking. The mini chairs outside reminded me so much of Vietnam and thought that was really unique (in a good way). Interior is nice, not too loud. There's 2 kiosks to order from or you can do it at the register. Friendly staff, delicious drink. One thing to note is that if you order from the kiosk and select "light ice" there's a glitch in the system, but if you scroll to the bottom where it says "add note", you can request it there! I've had so many egg coffee, pandan coffee, ube coffee, etc. in CA that I don't think it's gonna taste too different. Instead, I opted to go for the pistachio coffee (sounds and tastes delicious)!! Really lived up to its flavor. I requested 50% sweetness and less ice, which IMO, it's perfect. I don't really like sweet coffee so this def hit the spot. Hoping to be back here soon, maybe give another one a shot or might just get the same one. Either way, this place is great for good coffee, either dine in or take out!

    Came for the tiramisu latte in partnership with Ngot and LOVED IT! Phin Caphe is in a great location with lots of parking. There are tablets to order on inside. Lots of fun drink options. Lots of tiramisu and pastries to try. The tiramisu latte was creamy and bold. However I didn't love eating the tiramisu and getting chunks of ice in my bite, or drinking the coffee and getting chunks of ladyfingers. If you struggle with textures, beware. The staff is ultra nice and the inside is very clean. It's small so the tables could be full.

    Ube & Coffee

    This is the best Vietnamese coffee ever! Creamy Just sweet enough (50%) Ube was so delicious Need to try the other drinks soon!

    Ube Coffee
    Chelsie R.

    Oh-kay! Now this was one of the best, if not the best Ube Coffee I have tried! This is their best seller! The Ube cream and coffee ratio was perfect! Every sip was like heaven to me- it was sooo creamy. The best part is that you can ask to adjust the sweetness (I just did 75% sweetness) The place was small with a few tables and chairs. It was all taken when we walked in but shortly after ordering we found a table. Service was decent and coffee came out fairly quick! If and when Im back in Portland- I would love to stop by again!

    I really liked their pandan and ube coffee. Both tasted good, but I liked the pandan better. The pandan foam wasn't too sweet and was light and fluffy. I liked the coffee flavor as well and it wasn't too strong for my taste. I got 50% sweet and it was perfect. I wanted to try their egg coffee too, but didn't get the chance since I was just visiting Portland.

    Ube $7.75

    Popular spot for locals. Layout more for a to-go order but it is regularly filled with families that like to hang out. Furnishings heavily used. Nice wall murals. Ube Signature ~ pricey for a cup filled with ice. Nice sweet flavor. Pistachio light subtle taste, Pandan nice vanilla feel. Fast food like service. Apparently no ice meant filled over half the cup.

    Strawberry Mojito and Lychee Fruit Tea
    Vic A.

    Such a great place to go to, when running errands in the complex. The ambiance is simple and quiet. The service is nice and welcoming and they are glad to help you if you have questions about their menu. The quality is fresh and refreshing.

    Service was quick and easy preordered online! It was very cute and cozy inside did some reading inside and the music was great! My bf got the ube coffee and I got the matcha tiramisu only available Friday, Saturday and Sunday it was so yummy and creamy definitely will come back when in Portland again.

    I love their mango shake! I would come here just for that, and they're one of the few boba places that have vegan milk teas too.

    Are there gluten ingredients in any of the drinks or toppings?

    Hi, I wanted to know how I can make my own ube coffee? I was visiting from Florida and am craving it!

    Can their drinks be made vegan-friendly?

    Definitely we have all the milk alternatives, you can also adjust the sweetness and ice level.

    After drooling over their Instagram, I knew I had to go. To my dismay I arrived at something that…read moredidn't look like it was a cafe or even opened. I wasn't even sure I was at the right place, thought they were still transitioning from one location to another. Until someone who shared the kitchen popped out. I was told that I should order online and come by for pick up, and was strongly urged to do so because these cheesecakes were really good. When I saw that they were doing a contactless store front, I knew I had to go. This was my opportunity to try it. I texted the owner to ask if the flavor I had my eye on was available. I was halfway there before the owner responded that they had one slice of pandan cheesecake left. There are multiple forms of payment with a card reader, and various apps to pay with online which made this a breeze. The owner Kiana, even popped to introduce herself which I thought was so nice! The flavors here aren't your typical strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter cheesecakes, even though she does offer some variation of them. There's pandan, ube, lemongrass, ginger mango, passionfruit, matcha, guava, pineapple raspberry, and I heard she even cooks up something with the pickle brine from the other business that operates in that kitchen. I thought this would be one of those situations where the food won't look like the picture. The pictures are obviously styled, they look stunning. Nope! The food looked just like what was on Instagram. I am a long time lover of cheesecake, dare I say it's my favorite of the cakes. The condensed milk ube mirror glaze was a lot thicker than I thought it would be and held its form. It wasn't runny and goopy. Loved that it wasn't a sticky mess. The crust was very very thick, I've always wanted more crust on other cheesecakes. On the description, it says it's "jasmine scented almond shortbread cookie crust" slightly saltier than most crusts I've had, but still very enjoyable. I've only had the traditional graham cracker crust and I'm afraid this almond shortbread crust has ruined all other cheesecake crusts for me. I have been disappointed at a lot of places using pandan, because the flavor just wasn't there, not Muse cheesecakes though. Pandan was present indeed. I would have loved if it was a little stronger, but I think that would have overpowered the cheesecake. Each component of the cheesecake are so different and complex on its own. They come together in delicious harmony to make this beautiful slice. I grew up with a lot of Vietnamese food and pandan has a very special place in my stomach.. heart! I've never seen jasmine used outside of tea and condensed milk outside of Vietnamese iced coffee. Kiana definitely has a way with these ingredients and she's a cheesecake goddess! I really can't wait to try the calamansi, Ube, and whatever else is getting cooked up in this delicious kitchen.

    Muse cheesecakes make my heart sing and gets me doing a happy dance. I first heard of Muse…read morecheesecakes through instagram. She offers durian cheesecake. Whaaaat? Yep, you heard me right. Durian cheesecake!!!! I am Vietnamese-Cambodian and durian is my jam. I love its pungent goodness in all forms -- pure and un-doctored straight from the prickly shell, ice cream, smoothie, topping on mashed avocado dessert and now.. CHEESECAKE! ohhh my goodness. My heart. I have returned so many times and buying extra slices (possibly buying out her supply for the week...) to share with my family and friends, who have all raved about the cheesecake from here. Durian isn't her only flavor though. She has so many creative flavors and I've noticed she's had comfort flavors from different cultures. To top it off, the owner, Kiana, is a wonderful lady. She is a one woman team and is kicking butt at her game from what I've gathered in the short time I've known her. She could be dead tired, but always has a smile on her face. I almost forgot to rave about her TARO BURGER on a vegan bun. I don't know how frequently she makes them, but if you see it being offered, do yourself a favor and get it. The portion is quite large so be prepared for leftovers. Unfortunately for me, my carnivorous sister gobbled the other portion of my burger right up and didn't even miss her meat. It comes with a vegan mac salad on the side. I am not one to enjoy mac salads usually, I think it's due to the mayo (not a mayo fan), but I actually liked this version. I forgot to take a picture of the burger before it all got inhaled. Sad face.

I decided to visit Hawthorne Asylum, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere reminded me of a night market, except with permanent food carts. It has a fun, lively vibe, and there are so many different food options that there's something for everyone. It's a great place to come with friends or family since everyone can choose something different. There's also a bar in the middle of the food cart pod. We didn't get a chance to try it because we had already ordered boba tea from another vendor, but it looked like a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. I'll definitely check it out the next time I'm back. Overall, Hawthorne Asylum is a fun spot with a great atmosphere and an excellent variety of food. It's well worth a visit if you're exploring Portland.
