Y Coffee Roastery

Very nice clean and well organized cafe located in the 2nd floor. The gears seem right and their drinks are reasonably priced. I came in on a Saturday afternoon, but there were no other customers. I like this chill and low key vibe. How he makes coffee looked right too.

We ordered two pour-over coffees with two different beans (a blend and a medium roast). Both of our coffees were very weak. I can tell that coffee beans are actually good. But it seems like the barista used too less beans to make our coffee. It was disappointing because at 80.000 a cup, I’d expected decent coffee. However, the cafe itself is tastefully decorated and the music playlist was A+. The atmosphere is wonderful and almost spa-like. You’d want to spend your afternoon here reading a book or two! Also, the owner was friendly and prompt. Just maybe don’t order the pour-over coffee.

Tucked above the ground floor of Pho Trang is a cosy Roastery run by a one-man show. There are stairs behind the restaurant up to the cafe, the restaurant owner will lead you when it’s not busy. My party ordered the Peach Tea, Yuzu Tea, Americano, and Coffee Bac Xiu. Both teas were strong and flavourful while it seems like they made their own Preserved Peaches. Coffees were excellent as well strong and sweet for the Bac Xiu, the Americano was pretty run of the mill.

I really hoped for an above and beyond specialty coffee but it was just somewhat above average cup (I had a bac xiu and a cold brew). Other than that, everything else is great.
