Hello Em Việt Coffee & Roastery

Hello Em: Seattle’s Modern Viet Coffee Soul

Step into Hello Em Việt Coffee & Roastery and experience the heart of Seattle’s Little Saigon distilled into every cup. Founded by Yenvy Pham and the Phở Bắc family, Hello Em is more than a café—it’s a vibrant community space rooted in Vietnamese tradition and modern coffee craft. The shop’s signature element is its in-house roasting, featuring a Neuhaus Neotec air roaster visible right as you enter, where robusta beans from Buon Ma Thuot, Vietnam, transform before your eyes. Hello Em’s meticulous sourcing and roasting capture the bold, chocolatey depth of specialty robusta, celebrated for its unique flavor profile and cultural significance.

Hello Em’s menu showcases both classic and inventive Vietnamese coffee drinks—think the iconic cà phê sữa đá, velvety egg cloud coffees, iced options with coconut cloud or caramelized banana, and their show-stopping cà phê brûlée with torched sugar. Beyond coffee, their fresh bánh mì sandwiches, mochi ball pastries, and breakfast options reflect the same care and creativity. The café doubles as a cultural hub, sharing space with the Little Saigon Creative, where Vietnamese art and history are woven into daily life. For coffee lovers and culture seekers alike, Hello Em is a warm, modern celebration of Vietnamese coffee, community, and craft.
