Review Take Coffee - Marrickville

Great place to stop for a Vietnamese drink, I really liked their range of fruit stirs and their coffees were good. I did try a number of other drinks but found some of them to be too loaded with beans that made the drink a bit too heavy.

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.

Haven't tried Vietnamese coffee before so can't be sure whether it's good or not. This is the brown coffee, it tastes pretty strong with a bit sweet taste in it. Don't enjoy it that much. $5 is a bit expensive for this cup.

Extremely poor service! I ordered Vietnamese “filter coffee” from their menu and they messed up the simplest order multiple times: First they made a cold coffee then they gave me hot coffee but in a take away cup. On top of messing up the order they charged me $5 for a $3.8 take away coffee!!! When politely asking which one is filter coffee pointing at their menu? The response was: “I always make cold coffee... you should have told me if you want to have here!!! It’s like they don’t care what customer wants! You’ll get what they want to give you at a price they want to charge (menu is formality)

My coconut coffe was mostly ice. I got 3 sips out of it.

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!<br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>Try it out! They also seem to have lots of other interesting tasty treats and unusual drinks.

We have come here a few times and at first the drinks there were awesome and we all loved it. <br/><br/>Then slowly it started going downhill. <br/>They skimped out on coffee and ingredients and watered things down with too much ice. <br/><br/>We thought we would give them the benefit of the doubt a couple times but after the last time going when I specifically asked for less ice in the drinks. The girl said ok. <br/><br/>Didn’t put any ice in the drinks but filled a separate jug with ice with little milk then diluted out drinks with that. And still charge an expensive price. <br/><br/>Will never be coming back. If I want nice Vietnamese drinks with my partner and her family we will be going to either Bankstown or Cabra from now on. What a joke.

The best Vietnamese coffee around.<br/>This tiny coffee shop is my place to go if I’m in the area.<br/>Introduced by my friend Long time ago, today I decided to come back to try the cold Vietnamese coffee.<br/>On the menu printed “ Vietnamese brown coffee”<br/>Basically coffee plus condensed milk and over ice if you are decided to have it cold.<br/>Never eaten on this place before but I do recommended this shop if you are craving about ice Vietnamese coffee.

Came here for Vietnamese street food with my Viet buddies. We were excited to try out most of the dishes including savory and sweet. Some of the desserts were nice, but the price was expensive, considering the serving size and the food quality. One friend told me she could make better rice paper salad (banh trang tron) than here, and I totally agreed. I guess you should do it properly not only to impress the foreigners, who have absolutely no idea how the taste would be, but also the Viet locals. I have no comment over the coffee tho, as I have tried better ones in Cabramatta.

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!

worst cafe I have ever been in australia. we were at counter for 20 minutes, staff was right in front but could not be bothered to serve. tried to order but was ignored. even if they serve good coffee or desserts (we wouldnt know since we never got to try), we will never return.

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 :-)
