NOT just “MILK” it’s so much more ☕️ When you think of Vietnamese coffee our hope is that you know its origin and the people behind the process.

No idea how they get their positive reviews. First of all, the coffee was bad – really, really bad. I have traveled extensively through Vietnam and came to adore their coffee culture, but honestly no coffee experience could be further from that than VietFive’s (yes, I know the “family farm” story, but that doesn’t help when your coffee is just, to use the words of another reviewer, “pond water”). In fact, their Cà Phê with sweetened condensed milk was so bad that I had to throw it away after leaving the place, something I usually wouldn’t do with a $6.15 drink.
To make things worse, they didn’t have the mochi donuts which I had ordered (and paid for) online. Since I did not like the only sweet alternative, I had to accept what they call a banh mi empanada. A greasy, hearty dish was definitely not the taste I had hoped to enjoy with my afternoon coffee (okay, since that was undrinkable anyway it didn’t have much impact in the end…).
How anyone can describe their interior as “cozy” is beyond me. On top: the smells! While I had hoped for a pleasant coffee shop experience, the whole place was actually full of fryer smells.
Their saving grace could have been a welcoming atmosphere, but in reality it was just the opposite: Already 45 minutes before closing time at 5pm they were stacking chairs, then vacuum cleaning, brooming, and finally mopping the floor, without any respect for the two present customers. Sorry, but if you have limited hours anyway, either close at 4 or do your cleaning after 5pm, but don’t make this such an unpleasant experience for your paying guests!
I usually try to find positive aspects in everything (and coffee shops almost always get good reviews from me), but VietFive was really just a huge letdown in all regards.

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!

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.

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.

Sunday Nov 2 in the morning. I got a matcha latte with coconut milk, it is watery, I cannot appreciate anything about this drink at all, plus it’s not even hot, not even warm. The banh mi pork empanada was also very unappetizing. I paid almost $20 for these 2 items with the tip, I do not recommend it at all. I wish I tried the Vietnamese coffee, I would’ve probably liked that… but why would they serve the matcha if they think it’s not good? The outdoor chairs set up inside is unsteady, if you’re on the heavier side, do not sit on it.

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.

Great spot for authentic Vietnamese coffee, empanadas, and bahn mi! I’ve been coming here over the past few years to get work done or catch up with a friend and it’s always a hit with friends! The cherry on top is that the staff is always friendly and the space is inviting.

First visit to Viet 5 Coffee this morning and it did not disappoint! Met one of the owners, Anna, who was super welcoming and kind. Tried the Ube Vietnamese Iced Coffee—smooth, rich, and uniquely delicious. Also grabbed a perked chicken empanada and a beef pastry, both made fresh and full of flavor. Great vibes, tasty bites, and even managed to squeeze in a little work while soaking it all in. Definitely coming back!

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.

The workers were SUPER nice & friendly!!
I got the chicken banh mi, and a vietnamese coffee (ce phe with sweet condensed milk). Both were very good! The vibes of the place were also super nice. I will definitely come back to try more drinks here!
