Switch up your coffee routine with Voi Cà Phê's phở-spiced latte. (Voi Cà Phê)
In the last few years, cafes dedicated to cà phê sữa đa (Vietnamese coffee) have swept the Seattle landscape. Brewed with a phin filter, served over ice, and strong enough to jolt the heart of even the most dedicated of caffeine addicts, it's no wonder the beloved beverage has won the hearts of coffee-loving locals. Here, we've gathered a list of places where you can find Vietnamese-style coffee. For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.


Aroom Coffee List
This Vietnamese cafe with a chic, minimalist aesthetic debuted in Fremont in late July. The menu includes sesame lattes, phin-brewed Vietnamese coffee, egg coffee, salted coffee, avocado coffee, coconut affogato, matcha, iced teas, and more. To eat, there's family-recipe xoi man (a sticky rice dish with Chinese sausage, pork floss, dried shrimp, fried eggs, quail eggs, Vietnamese pork roll, and house special sauce, available on weekends only) and savory waffles with a choice of cheese filling or pâté with salted shredded pork.

Coffeeholic House List
The Vietnamese American-owned and -operated cafe serves Vietnamese-inspired drinks like "Coffeeholic Dream," coconut coffee, bac xiu (Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk), and honey lattes, all made with organic, freshly roasted robusta and arabica beans from Brooklyn-based importer and roaster Nguyen Coffee Supply. The business also aims to join the eco-friendly movement by eliminating plastic waste and lowering its carbon footprint.

Hello Em List
Located inside the Friends of Little Saigon Creative space, this shop from Pho Bac co-owner Yenvy Pham serves cà phê sữa đá made with espresso and is also the first Vietnamese roastery in Seattle. You can add a whipped egg coffee cloud made with egg whites and sweetened condensed milk to any drink. If you're feeling hungry, there's "bánh-mì-nini" (panini-grilled bánh mì), with breakfast sandwich, tofu, and hot dog varieties, and baked goods like Chinese doughnuts and durian crepe cakes.

The menu focuses on classic phin-brewed Vietnamese coffee rather than espresso, with thoughtful ingredients like homemade condensed milk. Other offerings include chewy-crisp pandan waffles, flan with coffee shaved ice topping, salted sodas, tea, and Vietnamese yogurt.
