"This place is a hangout for older Vietnamese men. They talk with their friends, drink coffee, play lottery and smoke. Coffee is good if you order Vietnamese styles of coffee. The coffee is way overpriced at $6 but there are supposed to be pretty girls in short skirts. Not today. If you are anti smoking, stay away. Otherwise it is ok."

"Probably the single best latte I have ever had in my life! Not sickening sweet like other chains, just a perfect cup. I did not need to add a single thing to it. The staff is gentle, kind and to the point. They only do coffee; nice concept - Very Italian. The place is patio styled, reminiscent of a modern Viet Nam coffee shop - plants everywhere and wide open doors. Yes, cigarette smoke caresses the air, like much of the rest of the world. It is pleasantly mixed with gentle perfumes, other fragrances and an occassional delicious cigar. While I do not smoke and never have, there is something refreshing about a business that lets people be people. I highly recommend it if you value a excellent cup of coffee."

"Review for only the coffee- one of the nicest vietnamese coffees I have had till date. The blend was smooth and the right amount of sweetness... But jolly good lord @$7 a cup, it's expensive. I like the fact that all vietnamese stores always give you a disclaimer- vietnamese coffee very strong... I'm so tempted to tell them I come from A land down under where the coffee is strong and the world makes me wonder. :-) Definitely worth a try."
