Nam Coffee
304 Ord St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Nam Coffee's dark roasts are expertly balanced—smooth and never bitter—whether you're ordering their signature Vietnamese coffee or a carefully poured pour over, and regulars are so devoted they've followed the roastery from its original Fountain Avenue location all the way to this new Chinatown outpost. The small, family-friendly shop moves quickly even on chaotic Saturday mornings, and the team genuinely cares about their community, offering thoughtful recommendations for other neighborhood gems while their fresh pastries pair perfectly with every cup. This is the kind of place where coffee lovers buy beans to take home and keep coming back because the quality is real.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Excellent coffee and pastry with a side of great recommendations for other places in the area to visit and eat at!
Went on a Saturday morning when the Golden dragon parade was scheduled. The small coffee shop was packed and most of their baked goods sold out and there was no where to sit, but my order was taken quickly and I also received my drink fast. I ordered the salted cream matcha ube…
Good coffee. Not overly sweet. Doesn’t have the caustic, burnt taste of dark roast even though it is. Normally drink black only but it was fine.
Not a first timer for Nam, as I have tried it in the other location and love it so I was super excited knowing they expanded their wings into Chinatown area. Parking wasn’t a friend but wouldn’t be a problem as I only stopped by for to-go order. They did have nice sit down space…
The best Vietnamese coffee in the world. I love their original location on Fountain and I'm so excited to see Nam expanding and growing! It's always worth a visit. I also use their beans at home.
