What a beautiful and cool place to be. There is some street parking around the area and a decent amount of seating inside. It’s bright, cozy, and cool inside.
There is a community space that you can borrow and book out! There’s a little store front in the back that you can get some cool and unique things.
We got the Ca Phe Sua Da and Ca Phe Chuoi, with a Banh Mi Pa Te. The drinks were made well, tasted delicious, and nostalgic. The banh mi was super flavorful and I crave it often. Everything was great!
Staff was busy but nice and they were helpful with questions.
A good experience for traditional Viet coffee and snacks but also some modern takes with traditional flavors. I would recommend for small groups, a casual date, or just some nostalgic and traditional flavors. I will be coming back!

If you’ve never experienced it before: It’s typically made with condensed milk rather than cream. But there’s traditional and then there’s other choices.
Why phin filter coffee Tastes Different
• Metal filter → more oils → richer body.
• Slow gravity extraction → deep, chocolatey, low-acid profile.
• Often paired with robusta beans (higher caffeine, thicker crema-like foam when stirred).
I needed a well rounded experience so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee flight of sorts:
Cà phê brûlée
With torched egg crème
Cà phê là dúa
With coco pandan condensed milk
Cà phê den dá
With simple syrup and ice, shaken
My fav was the brûlée! Rich! Creamy! Fully loaded!
I chose a seat in a happy, sunny yellow lit room by the window. A long, shared conference table with art supplies. If you come here, FYI YOU CAN’T SIT THERE! it’s for the creative community that shares space here and staff only. I was kindly and swiftly redirected. The other seats are…not ideal to hold a flight and if you added food, uh…good luck. There’s 2 long rows of chairs. You might be lucky if you grabbed one of the rare tiny tables when it’s busy.
The staff is kind. The place is busy until after the lunch rush. The coffee is excellent.
The reason I chose here is because they roast small batches of green coffee beans in house sourced from a private farm in Vietnam.
Another Coffeehouse offered Phin specialty coffee flights, but here you can buy the small batch beans freshly roasted in house and you can also buy a phin filter at Hau Hau Market up the street around the bend. Which, of course, I am buying.
If you have an affinity with cultural experiences and coffee, 8/10 (lost 2 cool points for meh seating but to be fair a flight is not on the menu), otherwise it’s exceptional. Do it!

Top tier across the board. The cà phê trứng is incredible, the pandan croissant is immaculate, and the theme and decor are excellent. This is a seriously good cafe.
Update: coffee was so good we had to try the Trà me and Trà chôm chôm too. The Trà me was definitely the better of the two but both were fantastic!

I don’t usually drink coffee, but I was HIGHLY recommended to try out the egg coffee by my partner, so I gave it a go. So delicious! The flavor of the cream on top can’t be beat and tasted great mixed in with the coffe. Suuuper strong coffee. I was buzzed all day even with an 8oz. Must say the seats are uncomfortable for prolonged coworking, but it’s a cute space with brightly colors decorations.

Best find of all time. OMG! I own a coffee shop myself but was amazed by the latte flavors they invented. I ordered and drank 3 cups there! Everything is amazing! I would give it a 6 stars if I could

We visited Hello Em 3 times during our 4-day stay in Seattle. It was that good where we had to keep coming back. Even though they had some really unique Vietnamese options for coffee, they still had traditional coffee drinks too. I got their ca-phe brûlée primarily and it was a little sweet on top with strong espresso (like a cortado) underneath. Must try!

Hello Em feels like stepping into a cozy Saigon café, every corner is thoughtfully decorated with a warm, nostalgic vibe. We tried the cà phê sữa and cà phê trứng, and both were spot-on: rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The nem nướng bánh mì was fantastic too—crispy on the outside, not soggy, and packed with flavor.
The price lean a bit on the higher side, but the atmosphere, coffee, and food make it worth a visit. If you’re in the International District, this place is a must-check!

Never had these drinks before. The Matcha whip on coconut water is super refreshing. The torched egg on latte is super unique.

Such a cute place! My husband ordered the Vietnamese egg coffee (Cà Phê Trứng) and I got the Vietnamese coconut coffee (Cà Phê ćôt Dừa.) Both drinks are quite the treat as they are rich, bold, and have a sweet creamy finish to them. I appreciate the toasted coconut on my drink too. We also ordered the Sữa Đặc – Pandan Croissant and the Croissant Pâtè – breakfast croissant. If you like sweet, get the pandan croissant, but if you like more of a savory flavor, I highly recommend the breakfast croissant.
Overall, staff is very friendly and it’s a quaint spot for a date or to catch up with friends!
I will say the surrounding area isn’t so great, but in my opinion, if you can find street parking close to Hello Em and go during the day that would be ideal when visiting. My husband and I are not locals, but we thought this place is worth visiting and it was our last stop before heading to the airport so it was a nice send off and closing to our own personal coffee tour of Seattle. ☺️
