It has been a long time I haven’t had any chance to enjoy this banh flan with tasty coffee. I’d like to recommend you guys to have banh flan in Caphephin since it was extremely oishii. And one more drink that I forgot to take a photo, it was avocado smoothies. Best of love

通りががりで気になって入りました。小さいお店ですが親切な店員さんで温もりのある良い雰囲気のお店です。人気店なのでしょう夕食時間帯はテーブル席は満席で日本人は私だけでした。かろうじてカウンター席に空きがあったので飲みたかったフィンコーヒーブラックを注文。抽出に多少時間はかかりますが、程よい苦味でおいしかったです。チキンライスが美味しそうなので今度食べてみようと思います。コーヒーごちそうさまでした。

The bánh mì lunch set + coffee and the pho + 1/2 bánh mì + milk coffee were excellent. The bread of the bánh mì seemed authentic. The service was wonderful. The two ladies were quick to answer our questions. And one of them spoke very good English making my experience even more pleasant. We loved that we were given plenty of cilantro. Also the coffee was quite tasty. But be warned the black coffee is quite strong while the milk coffee is sweet. Personally, I preferred the milk coffee.
