Hien From Vietnam
121 Mott St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Nestled in a petite but beautifully designed space, this Vietnamese coffee shop is a quiet sanctuary where owner Christmas and the team craft Vietnamese iced coffee that lives up to its reputation—strong, perfectly balanced with sweetness, and served over crushed ice that makes all the difference. The intimate vibe and genuine warmth from the staff create the kind of neighborhood gem where you'll want to linger with a second cup, whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with your laptop for an afternoon.”

Such a cute cafe - small interior but great vibe! The owner and employees were so nice. I LOVE viet coffee, so I was so excited to come here! I do wish they had other viet coffee options tho, like adding egg cream or salted cream tops. Not the best viet coffee spot I’ve ever been to, but very solid - Ca phe sua da w/ full caffeine on the sweeter side ($8): 10/10, very strong flavor. They asked me for my preference on sweetness level. I’m a chronic fast drinker, but they recommended to sip this (which I tried my hardest to follow lol), as you’re supposed to let the ice melt as you drink
Christmas (the owner) is so lovely and the iced coffee was phenomenal. If i did not have restraint, i would probably have a third cup in one seating this afternoon. I cannot wait to return for the treat that was the iced coffee and a little chat with Christmas, who certainly made my day. I love independent coffee shops!
Their Vietnamese iced coffee is no joke! Strong but still the perfect sweetness. I saw Hien from Vietnam on social media and came to try it out. It was a quiet day so there was no line for a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered the ca phe sua da with full caffeine and regular sweetness. It was prefect for me, but I prefer sweeter drinks. It came with crushed ice which is the traditional way it’s served. I loved my drink, and the employee was so friendly and helpful. It’s a small space inside but definitely worth it if you’re in the Chinatown area!
Such a cute and unique spot - the interior is small but beautiful and the classic Vietnamese iced coffee (we got half sweet) was sooooo good. Crushed ice was a great touch and the flavors went together perfectly.
I have been looking for a quaint coffee shop in the neighborhood for some time. I walked into Hien from Vietnam unexpectedly today and was blown away by how cozy the shop was inside. The barista greeted me happily and was cheerful and kind. If you're in the NYC Chinatown area or looking for a new coffee shop to love, you absolutely have to check out Hien From Vietnam. It's a must-visit for its exceptional vietnamese coffee and wonderful atmosphere!
