Awe man, I had some fun here. Chill atmosphere and great lighting (ie: café match made in heaven). While I was in they played The Internet, Mint Condition, and Thee Sacred Souls. Ubechata latte (no coffee version) was killer. Staff was very kind and answered questions I had about different drinks without judgement. Free water. Free Accessible Bathroom (no key/code). Free Wifi.

Just going to start off by saying this coffee is strong!! Such a cute coffee shop in west loop. I stopped by to grab a coffee (was recommended the condensed milk coffee) which was delicious and it definitely packs a punch in terms of caffeine! They have a cute couch that I enjoyed reading on and it had a fun community atmosphere. Overall a great experience!

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 much on the food side, but the empanadas blew me away. I tried the sausage one, and it came with sauerkraut, black pepper, and carrots inside, such a unique combo, but the flavor was out of this world. Totally worked. The vibe is casual, prices are cheap, and it’s the perfect spot to pop in for a quick coffee and a snack. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the West Loop and want something different from the usual coffee shop routine.

Egg coffee is 4.5/5 - not the best Vietnamese egg coffee (compared to even those in Seattle/Vietnam/South East Asia), but still a good one imo. I'd still go back if i am nearby :). I appreciate how the staff made it less sweet, although the egg foam can be thicker & coffee slightly stronger. Staff 4.5/5 - staff is friendly & service is fast. Cleanliness 5/5 Power plug available & plenty.

I only tried a basic black coffee, and while the flavor wasn’t totally my thing, I’m still a fan of this place overall. It’s family-owned, has beautiful aesthetics, and is rooted in a strong mission - plus, there’s a unique accessibility initiative! If you suggest ideas to help improve access, they’ll give you a free drink! That really stood out. They’ve also got fun, creative drinks, light bites, and plenty of seating. I definitely want to come back and try one of the fan favorites.
