We were looking for coffee, perhaps Vietnamese coffee, after our amazing pork rolls at Alex ‘N’ Rolls. On that little strip of Illawarra Road, we couldn’t find anything. Lots of small restaurants, but nothing that looked like it served Vietnamese coffee. Until we saw Take Coffee. Hurrah!
We split a mango pudding as well, and each had a Vietnamese coffee, though mine was salted! Strong coffee. Condensed milk. And a pinch of salt. It was a bit like salted caramel. Absolutely delicious and a change from your regular Aussie latte!
Try it out! They also seem to have lots of other interesting tasty treats and unusual drinks.
The best Vietnamese coffee around.
This tiny coffee shop is my place to go if I’m in the area.
Introduced by my friend Long time ago, today I decided to come back to try the cold Vietnamese coffee.
On the menu printed “ Vietnamese brown coffee”
Basically coffee plus condensed milk and over ice if you are decided to have it cold.
Never eaten on this place before but I do recommended this shop if you are craving about ice Vietnamese coffee.
Hands down the best Vietnamese iced coffee!!!Super creamy and rich of coffee flavour! Highly recommend to try it with coconut cream!! Good price and staff was very friendly too!
Just dropped into Take Coffee for the first time to try their Vietnamese style coconut iced coffee. The coffee is deeply bitter mixed with sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream resulting in a well balanced and delicious eye-popping, brain-buzzing treat! Also just tried their black sticky rice with coconut milk and it was wonderfully sweet and creamy. Really nice, recommended :-)
Fantastic food and coffee. Strongly recommend trying the salt coffee - incredible depth of flavour and not for the faint-hearted - as well as the beef stew, with the pepper salt and lemon on the side for dipping the beef in.
Still the best Vietnamese cafe in Sydney. Try the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk.
Great Viet coffee, great sweets and drinks, great food. Love anything with sticky black rice and coconut in it. The sticky rice with pork and egg is delicious and cheap, great for a substantial snack. The salt coffee also really good.
First Impression: Simple decor but very friendly and accommodating owner. Stop by time-to-time for that all important caffeine hit whilst grocery shopping.
Look & Feel: Nice to sit outside and soak up the happenings of Illawara Rd and the Save More (people watching can be great here).
Quality & Taste: Vietnamese coffee is what you'd expect, but what is worth coming for are the more 'extravagant' (by normal cafe standards) options - most of which are Vietnamese / Asian staples. These are great and can be a revelation
Hip Pain: Very reasonable.
Must Have: Try the salted coffee, anything with coconut or the fantastic desserts (especially home-made yogurt combinations). All are great.
