Ca Phe Phin

Ambiance: (3/5) I liked that there were different types of seats, but the seats we sat on were not very comfortable, so this would be a hard place to work for a while. The table was also really small so it was hard to fit two laptops. Price: (4/5) Prices seem average for the area. Food: (4/5) I enjoyed the coffee. I will say it was a bit hard to figure out the menu, so I felt like I missed some of the options I could have tried. Service: (5/5) Service is great.

On a recent visit to the Webster/Clear Lake area, I made it a point to visit Ca Phê Phin. I am a lover of Vietnamese cuisine and this place has two of my favorites which is bánh mì and cà phê sữa đá. I rolled up and there was a crowd of people out front chilling, drinking coffee, smoking and taking photos, which I thought was really cool. I'm always glad to pull up to a place and see people enjoying themselves. I walked in and, the vibe of this place blew me away. Whoever decorated this small shop used every inch of what they had to bring it to life. Everything in here except maybe the seating shouted Vietnamese culture. I just wanted to walk around and look at the books, paintings and other decorations.Ordering was straightforward. The attendant was patient but direct. I ordered the classic Vietnamese bánh mì, which is essentially their version of bánh mì đặc biệt. I also ordered the Pink Salt Vietnamese Coffee. The bánh mì was pretty good. It wasn't as packed as I would normally expect but it wasn't egregious. I had a question about putting the patê on the side but was told they couldn't do it. No worries, I love patê, so I was going to eat it either way but I did think it was odd that they couldn't make one without it already spread on the bánh mì. I ate the bánh mì, patê and all and I thought it was really good. I've had a large number of bánh mì of all types and places. This one was not bad at all. I don't know why I do this but usually when I go to a new Vietnamese coffee shop, I stick either ca phê sữa đá before getting anything else there. This time I ventured out and ordered a Pink Salt Vietnamese Coffee. Maybe because I had been on a ca phê muối trip lately. I thought this was going to be a ca phê muối and maybe I should have asked more questions. I tasted only the slightest hint of salt. To my knowledge, my sodium levels are okay but if they were high, this definitely helped balance it out. The drink was still good but I didn't taste the salt. If anything it tasted sweeter than expected as the bitter coffee taste I'm accustomed to did not come through either. All in all, the drink was good but not what I expected. The ice was a bit heavy as well. This place is very cool. You can sit here and socialize or study and get a drink or quick snack. The vibe is very casual and laid back. I think I'll return soon for a ca phê sữa đá and enjoy the vibe here.

After walking around Johnson space museum I was craving a boba drink and found this cute cafe on Yelp. It's a couple min drive from the space museum. It was during traffic time so we were trying to kill time. When we walked in, super cozy and I like the vibe. We ordered ice Vietnamese coffee with boba, iced ginger tea and a Vietnamese sandwich. My bf said the coffee with boba was very good- boba was chewy. For the ginger tea you- if you love ginger this would be a good tea especially since there's honey and spice. The Vietnamese sandwich was delicious, love the toasted baguette.To anyone in the area looking for a cafe, I would recommend this place!

Drinks: Not good. I'm sorry. Those were exceedingly watery Ca Phe Sua's. It had the faintest taste of the Coffee/Chicory that we all know is Vietnamese Coffee. This was sad. It tasted like American coffee that had been watered down. And the chai mixed coffee, that tasted like a Christmas cookie was mixed with the watery coffee. Not good. I'm not sure what kind of chai that was but it's not anything I've ever had and it did not mix well with the "coffee". I don't like giving bad reviews...Service: Service was the thing that gave it one of the stars. The lady who served me was extremely nice. Ambiance: This is what gave the other star. The inside is very homey and relaxed. I would love to sit in there and chill with a cup of good Ca Phe.

This is definitely a hole in the wall coffee/boba shop in the midst of Webster.It's nice little shop that fits the vibes of meeting someone to catch up, coffee date, or studying. There is a menu on a table when you walk in and also on the wall. I do think the menu on the wall could get a full clean and then rewrite the items on there or update it to something that may be easier to read or stand out. I didn't have much interaction with the worker but she seemed nice. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee with honey instead of condense milk (watching my sugar intake). It was good except I wish it had more coffee taste. Usually I could taste a strong coffee taste but that wasn't the case here. Still good though. I would come back and try other things and maybe one of their pastries. This place is a gem so check it out. Support the local.

First time here and loved the cozy vibes and friendly service. My Vietnamese coffee was made perfect and the macarons they had was delicious!

Came here right before the Space museum bc we all need coffee in our life. I love the idea of having a Vietnamese coffee cafe. It has your traditional vietnamese coffee with condense milk and the slow drip but with a hint of vanilla. Very unique.I got the lavender chai and it was delish. Not super sweet and not overly lavender. I love their unique twist on a coffee cafe. This makes it available for everyone to try something new but also familiar.I would love to see an egg coffee on their menu which is very popular in Vietnam. Sounds weird but tastes like tiramisu. Also I would love that the cafe is more open since there is only one worker when I went it, would show that someone is working and making the coffee fresh (like Starbucks) rather than an empty counter.

Nice cozy spot to sit and enjoy a boba tea or coffee drink. Enjoyed my jasmine green tea with tapioca with a chocolate chip cookie. This place also has some sandwich options and other asian desserts.

I randomly stumbled upon this little gem when I was in the area with a friend. It's slightly hidden, but it's located in a little shopping strip next to a large office building. There's plenty of parking. My friend and I were looking for some coffee/boba in the area and saw this location was nearby, so we decided to check it out.First off, the inside of the coffee shop is very cute. Feels very authentic too. To be honest, it reminded me of being in a coffee shop/cafe when I was visiting Vietnam. They had a lot of Vietnamese decor, artwork, and even Vietnamese music playing. We were greeted by a very friendly barista, who made our coffees very quickly. I ordered the "Phin Love Ca Phe" and my friend ordered the "Ca Phe Sua." We both absolutely loved our drinks. The flavor was so good. The size of the cups were large, and we felt like the price was very fair for the portions. I loved everything about this place. I could see this being a good study/working spot too. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop. I got the cafe sua da, it was yummy. Perfect balance of milk and coffee. My fiance tried the phin chai coffee, it was really good as well. The service was great, she was the sweetest. Love the music playing and ambiance. I kept thinking this would be a cute study spot. We would probably go more often if it was located in the pearland/ friendswood area. Will definitely will be back! 5/5
