Càphin Minneapolis—pronounced like "caffeine"—is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a celebration of heritage and culture. Inspired by the rich flavors of Vietnamese-grown robusta coffee, our mission is to honor tradition while creating something new for our community.
Whether you’re enjoying a classic Cà Phê Sữa Đá or one of our creative espresso drinks, each cup is brewed with the same care and love our parents and grandparents poured into their own coffee back home. Join us in savoring authentic flavors, where tradition and modernity meet in every sip.

Specialty Espresso
Bold and complex, crafted with Vietnamese-grown Robusta and Arabica.
Our espresso drinks are a blend of tradition and innovation. We combine the boldness of robusta with the complexity of arabica to create a balanced and nuanced espresso shot. Our specialty lattes are inspired by flavors from our childhood:- Cà Phê Lá Dứa (Pandan Latte): Infused with the subtle sweetness of pandan, a flavor commonly found in Southeast Asian desserts, this latte brings a unique and aromatic twist to your coffee experience.
- Ube Dream (Ube Latte): This dreamy latte is infused with the rich, creamy flavor of ube, a purple yam commonly used in Filipino and Southeast Asian desserts. The subtle sweetness and earthy notes of ube blend perfectly with the boldness of our espresso, creating a vibrant and unique coffee experience that’s both delicious and visually striking.

Our matcha beverages are a colorful, refreshing alternative to coffee, made with both sweetened and unsweetened matcha.
