Crema's Take
“This is an authentic Vietnamese coffee and tea shop that doubles as a casual gambling and smoking lounge—not a Western-style café, and emphatically not for everyone. If you're after traditional Vietnamese coffee at fair prices and don't mind a dark, smoky room full of men playing cards and machines, regulars say it's genuinely the best in the area; if you want a bright third-place coffee shop experience, walk straight past. The 3.8 rating reflects that it's solving for a very specific crowd and ethos, not trying to be something it's not.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Maybe not what you're looking for... I was looking for a cappuccino on a Saturday morning. I opened the door to a bunch of men sitting together at tables in a dark room. More like a bar atmosphere. Just FYI. The 1 star is just to serve as a heads up, as I didn't actually go in…
Nice place to hang out with eye candies. $5 drinks are not bad. Very fair price, chill location to sit and watch
