Stumbled into Coffee Craft Café in search of a place to work remotely and perhaps life’s meaning. Found at least one of those things. The food? Amazing even my veggie option (halal status unknown, so I played it safe and dodged the meat like it owed me money) was packed with flavor. The beverage was thirst quenching enough to make me briefly forget my existential dread 10/10 for hydration. Also, it's a pretty great spot for working from home… away from home. Plenty of space, good vibes, and just enough ambient noise to make you feel productive without needing to fake type loudly.

The Coffee Craft is a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Vietnamese flavors. Their menu truly captures the essence of Vietnam, from the rich broths to the fresh herbs that bring every dish to life. One thing that stands out is their Pho, which has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. The broth is aromatic and full of depth, perfectly balanced with tender meat and fresh toppings. Just the way Pho should be. Beyond Pho, the dishes here are consistently delicious and prepared with great care, making it one of the most authentic Vietnamese dining experiences you’ll find. If you’re a fan of Vietnamese cuisine, The Coffee Craft is a place you simply shouldn’t miss.

This place serves authentic Vietnamese food that are absolutely delicious! It’s not very crowded and the atmosphere is cozy. However i wasn’t quite satisfied with the service and the staff. Not an ideal coffee place despite its name. Worth a visit though!

Visited for the second time with my parents. Excellent service by the friendly staff. A wide range of Vietnamese cuisine to pick. Worth the amount we pay.
