Vietfive Coffee - Chicago
1116 W Madison St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Vietfive Coffee brings authentic Vietnamese coffee culture to Chicago's West Loop with a moody, music-filled atmosphere that feels like a café built for lingering. Their signature drinks—particularly the condensed milk coffee and salted coffee—showcase bold, skillfully crafted flavors that honor traditional Vietnamese techniques while the chill vibe and thoughtful lighting make it an ideal spot for both solo coffee moments and meetups with friends.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

What an amazing find in the West Loop! Vietfive Coffee is such a gem. The coffee here is absolutely bomb . . . the salted coffee in particular is next level, with a rich, smooth flavor that’s totally addictive. I am definitely a Vietnamese coffee man now. I wasn’t expecting…
