Came in at about 10:15 and was greeted very warmly by the staff. For Cafe and a small coffee shop this place was pretty beautiful. Small and quaint but had a charm to it.I had the croissant with the tomato avocado and turkey and it was pretty delicious. The milk tea with the tapioca was also very tasty. If youre looking for a place to come and get some milk tea and a little sandwich to tidy you over this is the place. This would be like a really good place to come sit have some milk tea and study or do some work or if youre just looking to relax this is a place to come. I will be returning for sure 5 out of five.

Oh My Gosh! Mouthgasmic vietnamese cafe. Got a coconut smoothie with real coconut in it and tapioca balls that were made perfect. A Vietnamese sandwich with bread that was so fresh and ingredients that were cut to the perfect size so every bite was deliciously mixed with a terrific dressing. Anytime Im in the area I will definitely be back.

The best Vietnamese coffee place ever! Very nice and welcoming. It was my first time and she explained everything to me to make it the way I would like it and of course I’ve made my way back to it. Don’t even think about it, just come. 👍

Tried both the traditional iced coffee and the frappe version for a refreshment, I think these have less intense coffee flavor from what I am used to, or maybe they are just sweeter, really good though.The frappe version lasts way longer than the regular one for just 50 cents more

I stopped by here on way to Galveston,Great atmosphere, great taste,I wish we had this place at where I live.Kind owners and nice hall deco too.I’d recommend you try Vietnamese coffee.Just ask them to give you iced Vietnamese coffee. It looks like a Latte, but sweeter and darker !

I love the honey green tea. All teas are very flavorful, and are brewed appropriately, with no bitter aftertaste. The price is average but for the quality and taste of the tea it is worth the drive. This is one of my favorite tea houses to visit.

Small, family owned, well-decorated, cozy boutique Vietnamese coffee shop in the clear lake area. Food and drink options are impressive.

This is a nice small cafe with great ambiance and a cozy feeling. They have specialty coffees, teas, and bubble teas as well as sandwiches. The banh mi sandwich was only ok. But the bubble tea I got (leeche milk tea) was fantastic. I would definitely recommend that.

Great beverages and desserts and the guy behind the counter was very helpful. Unlike other cafes, they did not have any games out so brought playing cards. We were having fun, laughing occasionally, and had to remind each other to keep it down but after about an hour a middle-aged lady came out and kept glaring at our direction. One time she walked near us and walked away shaking her head. We found it inhospitable so we left.

I’ve been going to this place for years and haven’t ever had anything I didn’t like!One of my favorites is the café sua da. I also love the environment, this place has the chillest vibes & AMAZING aesthetic🍃 You can study, play a game of chess, read a book or even have your business meetings with no worries of other groups talking over you.Not exactly the place for loud banter, and I’m cool with that. If you’re looking for peace and quiet or a place to talk with great coffee, look no further ☕️

I LOOOOVE Ca Phe Phin. Their food is SO good and you can tell how much care theyve taken in crafting all the menu items. The service is always excellent and (during non-quarantine times) they have plenty of seating if you want to relax for a spell.

Great quality and menu selection. The owner is super sweet and courteous, can customize anything you want. From bakery/pastry items to specialty coffee items, she can do it all to preference. Cozy atmosphere, great place for studying or catching up with dear friends! Definitely recommend this place. Go check it out!

A small hole-in-the-wall cafe with a cute atmosphere and a great menu. Walking into the store, youre greeted by friendly staff and the rich smell of Vietnamese coffee. The service is quick, and the food was made to order. The Vietnamese coffee was some of the best I have had, which means something since Ive made my own Vietnamese coffee since I was a child. A cute lunch date spot, and you can always drop next door for sushi if youre still hungry

This is a small, cozy, family-owned coffee shop. The drinks are made fresh and taste great. I love the pumpkin spice latte made with real pumpkin. There are varied seating options indoors and a small outdoor table. It has a nice ambiance with soft browns coloring the interior and French music playing in the background. Theres WiFi.

Definitely the best coffee I have ever had in my life. I was taken there by a friend not too long ago, and the people there as well as the coffee was phenomenal. I highly recommend this place to anyone. As far as space, its a little close and cozy, but the feeling and space they do have is extremely pleasant.

Review №59

Light years above chain coffee shops. They may not have the absolute largest selection of drinks, but the taste and quality more than make up for it. Kind of a small shop, guess youd consider it cozy. You can also buy your own Vietnamese slow drip coffee mechanism here.

Review №64

First impression: This place is perfect. Small, cozy, quirky decor and Norah Jones in the background. Theres even a guitar they let you mess around with.However, when the girl working there came out, I instantly felt like I needed to get out of there. She was sour, and made the environment uncomfortable. My attempts to be friendly did not help things. Maybe her pet gerbil just died in the dryer that day and she was unhappy, but I doubt it.The food didnt stand out, but it wasnt bad either. About what you would get from a grocery store.If the staff threw on a smile, and were a little more personable, I would love this little hole in the wall.As it stands, I couldnt help but feel uncomfortable and wanted to leave ASAP.

Although there is a dearth of good coffee shops in the area, Ca phe Phin is everything you could want in one shop. Their coffee is excellent and the people who work there are so nice, and happy to recommend things based on what you like. The place itself is kind of small, but has a relaxing and cozy atmosphere.

The place was nice and cozy, and the staff was very nice. My order came quick (i just got one of their iced coffees) and sadly cups were small and filled with so much ice you only really got a small amount of coffee.

Review №73

I got the popular #2 Ca Phe Sua ($4.00) and the Vietnamese Sandwich w/ Pork ($4.50).The coffee was smooth with zero burnt flavor. The sandwich was one of the more unique ones Ive had. Like they put a tiny salad in a bun, with a little bit of meat. For the price, cant expect too much. But the bread was nice and crisp.Very cozy feel. Tranquil music and little talking. Its more for winding down than for socializing. There was only space for about 20 people, and still several who camp out.I would come back, but skip the sandwich.

Review №76

I came here the other day for the first time with a friend. I got the #5 - a mix of chai and espresso. I could tell you how amazing it was, but instead Ill tell you that when I finished my drink, I immediately ordered a second one which I have never done anywhere else, ever. I have come back 3 times in the last 5 daysbecause this is the best coffee based drink I have had anywhere - in the world actually, and I have done a bit of traveling. It may sound like hyperbole or overly exaggerated, but its just true.

Review №81

Dont get the lychee boba. They said they couldnt adjust the sweetness to half-sweet, which was ok. We ordered it anyways. It was unbelievably sweet and almost tasted like they slipped up and kept adding syrup. I diluted it with water twice, and finally got something I could drink. It also had so much ice, that there was boba sitting on the ice (the ice reached down to the bottom of the cup). If it were 100 degrees outside, this might have worked, but its 76 and cloudy today. Weve had boba drinks from at least 15 different places around Houston. This is wayyyy too sweet.

Review №93

Im no stranger to bubble tea and this is hands down the BEST I have ever had. We got the taro flavor - not too sweet, perfectly creamy without being oily - and the boba pearls themselves were tender instead of gummy. I also got the Ca phe sua frappe, which was super delicious as well. The coffee has a wonderful roasty bitterness but not so much that it tastes burnt. The condensed milk gave it the perfect balance of sweetness.The interior of the shop is very calming - somewhere I wouldnt mind spending a while sitting and relaxing. There was even a group quitely playing a board game, which I thought was pretty sweet.Im not local, but Im looking forward to visiting again next time Im in the area.

You may be intimidated by the look of Ca Phe Phin from the outside because of its high class looking sign and intricate menu, but once you enter the establishment you are immediately put at ease with the very friendly staff and chilled out music that resonates down into your bones.The menu is vast but the two girls will help you decide, you just have to tell them what you like, i.e. coffee/tea hot or iced.Tonight we experienced Lotus Tea, Red Tea with Coffee Jelly and a Coffee Float. The Lotus Tea was very Light and Bright and had a sweet finish. The Red Tea had a great deep spice to it and the texture of the jelly was a great marriage. The star of the night however was the Coffee Float, well presented and executed, A very strong coffee with ice-cream and cream on top.For dessert we had Banana Cake and a Coffee Caramel Flan, Both were outrageously delicious and almost as good as the Coffees themselves.Next time do yourself a favor dont be shy and visit Ca Phe Phin
