    Came across this coffee shop after seeing it as one of the top 10 coffee spots in San Diego. I'm always on the hunt for a good strong coffee, so I had to check it out. The line was wrapped around the corner which honestly should've been expected considering the hype. Luckily, the line moved pretty quickly. The menu was straightforward with a good selection of specialty coffees and teas. The shop itself was clean, modern, and had a really nice vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating available. I ordered the Original "Famous Saigon Coffee" and added a foam topping. I have to say... this was easily the best Vietnamese coffee I've had. The staff was super helpful giving recommendations based on how you like your coffee. Service was also impressively quick despite how busy they were. If you're in San Diego or more specifically around the North Park area, definitely give this spot a try and don't let the long line scare you away. Totally worth the wait.

    The Hanoi egg coffee is perfect, sweet, creamy, and strong. The peach iced tea is also super refreshing and perfect for a warm day. Even with a decent line out front, the service was super quick and very friendly. Definitely worth a try if you like strong coffee.

    I got the Hanoi egg coffee! Super delicious, and definitely the right level of strong for Vietnamese coffee. I couldn't really taste the egg, but it's all premade so it's understandable! Line outside goes by super quick, they got a great system going on and by the time I've finished paying, my order is already ready! Definitely too busy to be a chill or do work vibe, it's more like a pick up and go, but there are seats inside!

    Now with a line like that, it has to be good

    Saigon coffee located in North Park San Diego area. To start, anyplace that has a line this long out the door and isn't giving away free stuff, has got to be fantastic. So we came down for a concert and we're looking for coffee. Saw Saigon Coffee in the Yelp reviews and had to go. Used to be an awesome spot in Newport Beach that went out of business during Covid sadly, they had the best coffee. Based on that, we had to make the trek to this place. Immediately we saw a line around the corner with easily 50 people waiting. I knew then we were in the promised land of coffee. We parked 3 blocks away and made the journey. And then, we waited. And waited. And waited some more, in the incredibly long line. Once we got up front we were ready to 2 coffees! We ordered the famous Saigon and the blended coconut. Once you get to the register the coffee comes out somewhat quick. If you get blended coconut it takes a bit longer. The drinks were delivered and we actually were able to sit outside at the red chairs and tables due to a lull in the line. I have to tell you, the hype is real. While they don't have even one hot coffee (Newport beach establishment had many) the iced coffee doesn't disappoint. The flavors are there and the coffee is absolutely silky and delicious. They know their craft and I assume that is why they're crushing the lines of people.

    I've been wanting to try this for awhile but was always put off by the length of the line - it actually moves incredibly quickly! The iced coffee it delicious, and the egg cream gave a bit of pause but it tastes like the custard part of a flan or crème brûlée! For me this is more of an occasion / brunch / dessert coffee than something I'd opt for regularly as it's a bit sweet and heavy - in a great way just not what I opt for in my regular coffee order. *make sure you pay attention when paying to the order number they give you*

    Viet coffee and egg coffee here is a must get! It's quite strong but the sweetness balances it out a lot. Still, I would 100% recommend this place and will be coming back often. Parking can be hard to find but that's expected. On Saturday brunch time there wasn't a line and our drinks came out instantly.

    Live, Laugh, Love Saigon Coffee. Simple menu, delicious drinks that hit the spot every time. Whether you order their classic Vietnamese coffee, a seasonal drink, matcha or lemonade they are all so good. Plenty of seating and the drinks come out fast. The hype that follows it, is well deserved!

    Jason P.

    Checked out Saigon Coffee and loved the experience. They specialize in traditional Vietnamese slow drip coffee and you can really taste the difference. We tried the coconut frappe and the vegan coconut which were delicious, rich, and definitely on the stronger side. If you're a coffee fanatic or just need a serious kick to start your day, this spot is a must.

    We read great things online so had to come in and try!! The cafe is located on a cute corner next to a cute gift shop. Parking is tricky but typical for the area. The line was long but moved really quickly. The service was friendly. The coffee itself was made well and is quality Vietnamese coffee. I tried the banana coffee and the banana was just okay, I'd go for something else next time!

    Always the place to go! We stopped by with my son before going back to SF! This is the best Viet coffee in SD!-no doubt!!! Once you've tried it once, you will come back for sure-100! Everyone is also great and customer service is superb!

    Clara T.

    It is worth the hype. Definitely crack in a bottle/cup for sure. I usually get the vegan coconut frappe. It forces me to slow down on drinking it or else I would down it so fast. They serve matcha also, but I've never tried. Service is always solid. The drinks usually come out decently quick and it's a nice place to just chill for a bit. There's some outdoor seating and the place next door has cute things to look at. Place is located in a corner spot. There's usually always a line and parking sucks, but I don't care...it's that good.

    The coffee here is so good and strong. I love the toppings they use for their coffee. My favorite is the egg cream topping. It's so smooth and delicious. I also really liked the strawberry iced tea, which was super refreshing.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Coffee

    Is the coffee in the bag ground coffee or whole beans?

    Hi Liz. We have both ground and whole beans. Thank you! Tu.

    What would be the equivalence in number of espresso shots in one regular saigon coffee?

    It would be equivalent to 3 to 4 espresso shots. They are strong. I highly recommend getting their frozen bottled coffee. It lasts 10 days and is good for 3-4 servings. Just serve over ice.

    Do they offer options besides regular milk; oat milk, almond milk?

    They have a vegan coconut made with coconut condensed milk. That's what I get.

    Do they offer a decaf version? I absolutely love Vietnamese style coffee but I can never find a place that serves decaf.

    No, No decaf.

    Do they serve hot coffee or only iced?

    Their menu only shows iced drinks. I went only once (so far) and noticed only iced drinks were being made. But it was delicious!

    How much caffeine is in a 16oz?

    Quite a lot. This coffee is slowly dripped in Phin's. It's a 4 hour brewing process and extracts the maximum rich flavor from the coffee. It also makes is exceptionally strong.

    Where I can find their menu? No info about banh mi sandwiches of their website. Are they vegan friendly? Any tofu/jackfruit sandwiches?

    They only have coffee. No Banh Mi of any kind

My only beef is the small size, as it's really hard not to down the drink in the span of five minutes or less. They also have some really cool assorted pastries if you get there in time. High quality and unique options with fun flavors. The shop is relatively small with seating in and outside. There are also records for sale and they have a really cool curated selection. The staff is also really cool, sweet and quick to make drinks.

    MUSICIANS + COFFEE (4 stars)…read more You get "Vinyl consumption and thoughtful produced coffee"! Chill and cozy coffee shop with a few seats and a selection of coffee and vinyl in the layout. Bought a bag of their beans and it came with a free cup of drip or iced from that same bean. After browsing their selection of beans, I couldn't quite find the type of profile I like but there were a variety of profiles. I bought a bag for a gift for someone who might appreciate their shop style and profile. At the time of my visit there were no decaf beans available. Took advantage of taking the free iced coffee and was surprise of my sipping acceptwnc! RAW POWER - their mainstay coffee which has a profile of chocolate and orange. I had this as an iced coffee - straight up black with no added anything and I thought I'd hate it without anything but I enjoyed the ice coffee as black and plain. From here I could really taste the bean profile very clearly and indeed could find the chocolate and the orange, more the orange than the chocolate. I am not into acidity or tart when I take my lattes but I don't mind that orange flavor when I take an iced coffee. It was an inquiring taste! I'd like to come back and try their decaf beans with with a flavored latte or an iced coffee plain as possible.

The street is quiet, the seating is covered, and at 7a, you get the perfect morning sunshine on your face in front of the shop. Perfect place to sit and read a book or coffee with friends. What could be better: * Wish they were open later * No decaf espresso (yet...!) Verdict: * Have you ever wanted to find a coffee shop that knows coffee as well as a pretentious, snooty coffee shop without the pretentious, snooty experience? With a local, neighborhood, "where everybody knows your name" kind of feel? Well, welcome home. I come here even when I don't need coffee just to enjoy the shop and the people. This is in my top 3 coffee shops in SD, for sure.
