Reviews
I’m not usually a sweet coffee person, but I tried the lavender latte. It was good, though a little sweet for my taste. My black coffee (Americano) was perfect and exactly what I enjoy. I also had a cookie, which I loved—it was soft, crumbly, and had a really nice texture. Overall, a great spot to relax and enjoy good coffee and food. ☕️
we got 3 different drinks. the strawberry matcha, the ca phe sua da and then the coconut esque (?) one. all 3 were amazing with the ca phe sua da being the best.
the service was amazing and they have you test the drink to see if you like it before you pay which is something i’ve never experienced before. it was clean and the decor was so cute. when I go back to the west coast I will definitely go back!
Nestled in the heart of Garden Grove, Phin Smith is a gem for anyone craving a fresh spin on Vietnamese coffee. I stopped by last Saturday morning, drawn by buzz about their Coconut and Avocado Smoothie Coffee, and let me tell you—this drink is a game-changer. The shop itself exudes a warm, inviting vibe with its minimalist decor, colorful murals, and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. The staff was all smiles, quick to take my order, and even tossed in a suggestion to add an extra splash of coconut milk for that tropical punch.
This smoothie coffee is pure magic in a cup. The bold, nutty Vietnamese coffee base holds its own, delivering that classic caffeine kick, while the avocado blends in for a velvety, almost dessert-like creaminess that’s surprisingly light. The coconut milk ties it together with a natural sweetness that doesn’t overpower—think beach vacation in liquid form. I got the medium ($6.50, a steal), and it was perfectly chilled, refreshing, and kept me satisfied for hours. No grainy texture, no overly sweet aftertaste—just a harmonious blend of flavors.
On the flip side, the place was packed, and my order took about 12 minutes during the morning rush. Also, the menu could be clearer on portion sizes; I had to ask for details. But these are minor gripes when the drink is this good. Phin Smith nails the balance of innovation and tradition, making it a must-visit for coffee lovers in Garden Grove. I’m already planning my next trip to pair this with their banh mi. Solid 4.6/5—nearly perfect, and I’m hooked!
The barista will make your coffee and have you sample it before paying, just so they can make any complimentary adjustments or a full replacement if needed. They care about their coffee and it shows.
Food/Pricing – Matcha Latte $6 for a large – they had soy or whole milk as options but I was never asked if I wanted either. Judging from the taste though it seemed like they automatically used soy milk in it. I enjoyed it but would have liked the option of choosing whole milk.
District 1 ground coffee $17 – I find it odd when places don’t label their coffee grinds with how heavy it is, roast date, expiration date, etc. but it look like a good size so I decided to give it a try. I have a food scale at home so I can see that the bag I picked up was 17.6 oz. Very fair price to me. It’s a dark roast and I have not tried it yet but I’m sure it will not disappoint.
Service/Ambiance – Interesting setup. You order first and then when your drink is ready grab it and head to the cashier to be charged.
Parking – There is street parking and some lots nearby.
Ca Phe Sua Da is the most popular but Oahu Joe and Taiwanese Sea Salt Coffees are both really good.
The shop was literally packed with people at almost every table when we came in. They have a pretty decent sized menu with a variety of coffee drinks and matcha. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and my parents ordered the Oahu Joe and Vanilla Cold Brew. We all loved our drinks! My Vietnamese coffee was well-balanced and not too sweet. The Oahu Joe had tropical vibes with lots of coconut flavors (which we love).
Prices were surprisingly lower than what I was expecting. Service was excellent. I will be visiting again when I come back out here in December!
