The 620-square-foot Vietnamese coffee shop Phin, which uses and is named after the coffee filter of the same name,[2] operates in the Thai Binh apartment building on South Jackson Street,[1] in the Little Saigon part of Seattle's Chinatown–International District.[3][4] The Seattle Times has described the shop as "inviting", "small", "stylish", and "tranquil", with a faux balcony in one interior corner.[5][6] According to Naomi Tomky of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "The stylish inside manages to evoke both Vietnam and another era through muted colors on the wall, painted red details, and a decorative balcony, but also through design."[7]
The menu includes cà phê sữa chua (yogurt coffee), which is coffee and whole-milk yogurt with condensed milk,[5] as well as cà phê cốt dừa (coconut slushie coffee).[8] Other drinks include black sesame coffee and a pandan latte.[9] The food menu includes banh kep la dua (Vietnamese-style pandan waffles),[5][10] which have been described as Phin's "signature" snack.[11] Among other desserts is flan with shaved coffee ice.[12] The diary and oat condensed milks are made in-house.[13][14]
Phin opened in October 2020. Bao Nguyen is an owner.[3] He and Hanh Hoang began selling pandan waffles at the Chinatown–International District Night Market in 2019,[15] and have continued to be a vendor at the event via Phin.[16] Phin sources coffee beans from Austin, Texas-based Phin Coffee Club.[17][18]
In 2021, Allecia Vermillion included the pandan waffles in Seattle Metropolitan's overview of the best things she ate in 2021.[19]
