    blueberry matcha
    Jade L.

    I had this place booked marked since I don't remember when and just happened to get lunch nearby at the recently opened An the Essence restaurant while visiting OC so came here for a post lunchie caffeine pick-me-up. I got the blueberry oat milk matcha latte to play it safe, and it started out sweet but finished with a very strong tea profile when though I gave it a good stir. The matcha was rich, robust, and smooth. Definitely high quality and pretty good value.

    Really enjoyed my visit to Re Ca Phe--such a cute and unique spot. I ordered the black sesame matcha, and it was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure how the combination would work, but the flavors blended really well. The matcha had a nice, slightly bitter note, and the black sesame added a rich, nutty depth. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The shop itself has a cozy and aesthetic vibe, great for hanging out or just enjoying a quiet drink. Overall, a unique drink and a great experience. Definitely worth trying if you like matcha or want something a little different!

    Stopped by for coffee and ordered the sesame matcha. Overall, it was decent and drinkable, but not quite outstanding. The matcha wasn't fully dissolved, which made the texture a little uneven. Service was okay, professional, though not especially warm or engaging with customers. The shop itself is small, not very spacious, but clean and well organized. Prices are slightly higher compared to other cafés in the area.

    $10 pour over, barely half the cup

    I really wish I had had the same experience that others have clearly had at Re Ca Phe. I visited on a Saturday morning to get coffee for the whole fam. The line was decently long and most of the seating was taken. In total, I ordered 7 drinks: 2 matchas, 2 Vietnamese coffees, a latte, a shakerato, and a pour over. Certain drinks were not able to be adjusted to preference. My boyfriend's pour over was $10. We waited a few extra minutes for it (not a problem, it was busy and we had a lot of drinks). By the time he took his first sip, his whole face just dropped. The coffee itself looked like tea and the cup was not even 60% full!! If I'm paying $10 for a coffee that you won't even add a splash of milk to, I at least expect it to be full?? He went back inside to ask about it and the barista very condescendingly told him that's the proper way to do a pour over. Family said the matcha was grainy and the Vietnamese coffee was tiny. Giving two stars bc I somewhat enjoyed my shakerato.

    A fantastic coffee shop with good pourover options for me and a variety of fun drinks for my spouse. I got a washed sidra roasted by September and wife ended up getting a Bạc Xỉu. Pourover was done on a crystal eye dripper and my kid had a good time watching it being made. Both drinks were very enjoyable. The baristas were very friendly, and the atmosphere was very calm and cozy early in the morning. They also have a good selection of beans, from roasters like Sey, hydrangea, Dak, September. Re Ca Phe will be a necessary stop every time I'm back in Orange County

    Blueberry oat matcha
    Candyce P.

    Loved the matcha here! They use Rocky's matcha and the blueberry oat matcha we ordered was super creamy and not too sweet. The blueberry flavor complimented the strong matcha flavor really well. There is a good amount of seating inside this cafe as well if you want to do work, and there's also seating outside as well. All of the decor is super cute and modern as well. Service was super nice and our drinks came out quick!

    Black Sesame Coffee (iced)

    This cafe is legit and is a great shop in OC. For its high ratings, I am surprised it was not more crowded. We stopped in on a weekday mid morning and did not have to wait to order. We had a large order and had to wait a little bit for all of the drinks, but it was worth it. The cost is not much higher than visiting other chain coffee shops. This cafe offered nice indoor and outdoor seating and was much more quiet than some other cafes. It was also very clean and relaxing. I recommend stopping in and soak up the relaxingf you are in the area.

    Black sesame coffee ($6) mixed
    Megan L.

    Small viet coffee shop, but constantly flowing with customers. + Black Sesame Coffee ($6) 2 espresso shots w black sesame cream and 23g sugar (asked if it was sweet) squeezed into 9oz = crazy concentrated coffee. Sooo strong and great black sesame flavor, so amazingly bitter. (9.8/10!) Perfectly priced, if anything I think they could increase it even tho it's only 9oz

    Isabel S.

    Not impressed for the price we paid. Sesame flavor was not as strong as we had hoped. Upside was that it was not too sweet. But there's so many other matcha spots in OC you could go to instead.

    Re Ca Phe is a modern Vietnamese shop in Fountain Valley that serves Robusta coffee from Vietnam. I recently came here for a quick grab-and-go. [Parking]: Easy plaza parking lot - no issue. [Atmosphere]: Simple and minimalistic. Actually the setting slightly reminds me of Archives of Us in Chinatown. The interior is a little bit too small to stay for an extended period of time (just one table and one bench). There's a small outdoor patio area to make up for the small interior space. [Menu]: The Yelp's top 3 highlighted drinks are Black Sesame Coffee, Marble Latte, and Matcha Latte. They also sell baked goods like canelé. *** Black Sesame Coffee (fine robusta espresso w condensed milk, black sesame cream 9 oz - $6.00): The drink was solid, but I wouldn't say it was all that amazing. *** If you are a fan of strong coffee then Re Ca Phe is definitely worth a stop, but expect some of coffee to be served in a small cup (9 oz) instead of 12 oz cup.

    Note you will receive about 7oz of drink if you opt for no ice- good matcha flavor, whisked well, not too sweet
    Denise N.

    Blueberry matchas, ordered a couple without ice, one with ice. The matcha is creamy, slightly nutty, strong matcha taste. Keep in mind if you choose the no ice option, your cup is not filled all the way (which is expected, I measured it to be 7oz of actual drink so you're paying about $1/oz of liquid) and you will not see the pretty blueberry matcha blue-green gradient. So if you're buying for someone, it's better if they can drink it right away. Very brutalist and minimalist interior, not sure if the music they were playing was AI-generated or not. More of a place to stop and chat for a bit but not designed to welcome people to stay longer and study or anything like that.

    Not really sure what this is but it looks cool because it stated year of the fire horse 2026

    This being my first time there, I wasn't sure what to expect. As I walked in the Vibe was really nice with good music. I liked it because it wasn't really packed like other places or you can't even relax. There's plenty of space to relax in door and out. The drinks all looked really good, we had the 8 ounce sesame seed latte and the Earl Grey latty, which is one of my favorites latty. They were so kind enough to use my own glass cup when asked. The baristas were all very pleasant when we ask them questions about the drinks. The coffee shop itself is very cute decor with light colors making it feel very airy. They do offer a reward system so when you go, don't forget to check in to accumulate your points. As far as parking, there is plenty. The prices are average. I definitely wanna go back and try their blueberry latte. It sounds delicious. So if you are in fountain Valley, come and check them out.

    Marble latte and black sesame coffee
    JoAnn D.

    Small, but mighty! The portion size seems small, but it really is quality over quantity. Every sip counts! You won't be disappointed. The coffee is robust, bold, fragrant, good sweetness, nuttiness and hints of saltiness, if called for. Top 3 for coffees. -marble latte: coffee marbled with milk and condensed milk! -black sesame coffee: sesame cream on top. Nutty. -sea salt coffee: a little sweet and a little salty! Blueberry oat matcha latte: good matcha with fragrant blueberry tones. Good balance of sweetness. One of my faves Seasonal menus are fun too! We've been to many coffee shop and continue to circle back here! Re Ca Phe is solid and our Go-To. Enjoy! Tid Bits: -friendly staff -online orders available -some seating indoors and few outside -limited substitutions for milk or sweetness. Menu provides many options for all palates. -occasionally will have pop ups from different vendors in store. Check their Instagram for updates

    Had a fancy expresso and it was ok. Not worth the $10. I'd come back and try the Vietnamese coffee as my brother said it was good.

    Re Ca Phe Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Re Ca Phe

    Just to confirm, is sales tax already included in the menu price?

    Hi there, we don’t charge sales tax for to-go coffee at our shop (it is not required under California rules), so tax is not included!

    Is the matcha powder used purchasable?

    If I'm remembering correctly, I saw that they were selling Rocky's Matcha, the one in the blue tin! Not sure if that's what they use but the tins are on the right hand side on the wall from the cashier

    Do they offer gift cards?

    Yes
