House of Phin
1920 International Blvd, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“House of Phin crafts boldly creative coffee drinks that blend Vietnamese tradition with unexpected flavors—think Sea Salted Vietnamese coffee and Pandan coffee that taste as thoughtful as they are delicious. Beyond the stellar espresso and pour-overs, the baristas here genuinely make you feel welcomed, whether you're grabbing a quick specialty drink or settling in for hours of work by the window. It's a warm neighborhood spot where attention to detail shows in every cup and the pastries are worth circling back for.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Good for meetings spot. Pastries on the menu.

Excellent crafted coffees, matchas and teas. The coffees are drip and made to order, the matcha is excellent. Had some pastries and they’re tasty as well but the drinks are the signature. Nice, friendly workers. The inside is very cute but limited seating, seems like it’s much…
Hung out here for a day while catching up on some work. It's a nice little shop... some bar sitting areas along the window-side of the cafe and found a place to charge up my laptop a bit. I loved the House of Phin classic! Great drink- so sweet and tasty and perfect for sipping…
Great service and tasty coffee. Got a ca phe coco crush and it was not too sweet. The pastries also looked very appetizing—will try next time. 7/26: tried their pandan coffee and it was also amazing!
