Nam Coffee

Crema's Take
“Nam Coffee captures the essence of authentic Vietnamese coffee culture in the heart of LA, with their standout Saigon Latte and sought-after egg coffee drawing regulars who rave about the legitimacy of the experience. The intimate, lowkey vibe makes it equally perfect for focused work sessions or catching up with friends, though parking requires some patience given its location on a two-way street. Reviewers consistently praise the thoughtfully crafted signature drinks and the palpable care that goes into every cup, making this a genuine find for specialty coffee lovers seeking something beyond the typical LA café scene.”

Came across this cute coffee shop. Great, lowkey spot to do work. Loved the atmosphere and had AMAZING drinks. I recommend the Saigon Latte!!
Legitimate Vietnamese coffee with the vibe to go along with it. But first let me get the parking situation out of the way. It’s extremely difficult to find parking since it’s located in a two way street. Personally I recommend coming in a pair if you’re not from the area. One gets out and gets a seat while the other spends a little time circling to find a spot. Other than that it’s a gem of a place. The aesthetics are pleasing to the eye and they have a couple of seats in the inside as well as the front. I ordered two of their popular drinks which were the Salted Cream Coffee and the Signature Vietnamese coffee. Both of the drinks were on point and after my first sip I was Lit. These drinks had me going all day long. The service was ok and i kinda expected better but what can you do, you can’t win them all. So if you’re ever in the area and craving good coffee in an eye pleasing atmosphere then check this place out for sure.
It was so hard to decide on what to drink because all of their drinks look amazing! I opted for the yuzu soda. It was good, it was bit overly sweet. Once the ice melted and watered it down more it tasted a lot better.
Never thought I could find coffee that tastes this "authentic" right here in Los Angeles! Stopped by this shop by chance and it was truly a worthwhile experience. From the outside in, the space has a unique vibe, a perfect blend of modern style and traditional Vietnamese accents. I ordered the Signature Vietnamese Coffee and the Saigon Latte The iced coffee was rich and robust, with the slight bitterness of the drip-brewed coffee blending perfectly with the sweet creaminess of the condensed milk – creating a familiar and unforgettable flavor. The white coffee was fragrant, creamy, and milder, perfect for those who prefer a lighter taste. This is more than just a place to get coffee; it's a spot that evokes nostalgia for Vietnamese people far from home and offers an incredible cultural experience for international friends. Definitely worth supporting! Highly recommend!
Chill coffee shop. One of the few places in LA to get a nice egg coffee. Small seating area inside with a few tables. A good place to chat with friends or get a little work done. The egg coffee is delicious. Service was good. Friendly staff. Street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.
