Cafe Cà Phê

Cafe Cà Phê began as Kansas City’s first Vietnamese coffee shop, born out of a passionate desire to share authentic Vietnamese coffee culture with the community. It quickly evolved from a pop-up to a permanent fixture, fueled by overwhelming local support and a vision to create an inclusive neighborhood gathering spot. The cafe is celebrated for championing representation, cultural education, and community activism. Its mission extends beyond coffee, aiming to empower and uplift voices in Kansas City through regular events and partnerships.

The baristas at Cafe Cà Phê excel at brewing robust, aromatic Vietnamese coffee using traditional phin filters, resulting in drinks with deep, nuanced flavors. Their iced cà phê sữa đá is a standout, perfectly balanced between strong coffee and sweetened condensed milk, while creative seasonal specials keep the menu fresh and engaging. The staff demonstrates skill and care in every cup, from velvety coconut coffees to specialty teas. Drinks are served in cheerful, sturdy glassware or eco-friendly takeaway cups, and seating options range from cozy nooks to long communal tables for groups. Their small but flavorful food menu—highlighting bánh mì and Asian-inspired pastries—complements the beverage selection beautifully.
