Saigon Grace Cafe
1516 S St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Philadelphia, this Vietnamese-Mexican fusion café is a wonderfully unexpected escape where you can sip a Vietnamese coffee topped with perfectly salted foam while snacking on pork tostadas or fresh spring rolls. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it ideal for lingering over creative drinks like coconut water matcha lattes, and the generous portions of vibrant, fresh food mean you'll want to return again and again. With nearly perfect ratings and a devoted following, it's the kind of hidden gem that feels like a local secret worth sharing.”

Such a hidden gem! This Vietnamese lunch/brunch and coffee spot is seriously so good. They even have Mexican food on the menu, which makes it perfect when you’re craving different flavors in one place. The banh mi is super tasty, fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and perfectly balanced. They also have a big variety of drinks. My favorite is the coconut water matcha, so refreshing, light, and not too sweet. The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to.
love this place so much! It is very cozy and has amazing Vietnamese food. I’ve been already for the coconut water matcha which I liked a lot. Today, we went back for lunch. I ordered the Bo Ne and it was delicioussss, comparable to some that I had in Vietnam :)
First time visit and totally worth it! The veggies are so fresh and the portions are generous! I got the pork tostadas and my friend got the avocado toast with fried egg (which comes on pillowy soft bread). Everyone is super kind and the playlist is *CHEFS KISS*
Definitely recommend for the most amazing food. The beverages are so delicious, Highly recommend the Vietnamese coffee topped with salted foam it has just the perfect amount of foam to coffee ratio with each sip and the Mango tajin icedtea was delicious with chunks of fresh Mango, the thai ice milk tea was also very good. For starters we had the taro chips love the thin crispness of the chips paired with a flavorful dipping sauce. The Vietnamese spring rolls are perfectly crispy with lots of flavor served with a flavorful dipping sauce. We had the pork Banh MI and the Bulgogi Beef Bowl, each dish was full of flavor, and generous servings. Dessert was a mango matcha pannicotta with mango puree that was out of this world.
Amazing experience at Saigon Grace cafe! The service was exceptional with the waitress checking on us often and being very kind. The vermicelli was 10/10 we got an extra spring roll. I got the summer rolls but she was able to make them tofu instead of pork and shrimp which I really appreciated and the tofu was good and crispy. We also got the Vietnamese iced coffee which was very flavorful and strong. lovely breakfast experience!
