iced saigonese is my death row final drink im so fr. this shiz could literally ressurect me from the dead AND make me tell on all of my closest friends and family if offered to me by an interrogating party 💯
Moved out of Boston and this is the one place I come back to every single time because the Iced Saignoese is unmatched ❤ Pls never change
Preferred the vibe at the Cambridge location. Coffee was very good. Crepe was good. But vibe just felt off to me today. Perhaps due to it being a rainy day. ☔

Phinista Cafe is a cozy spot serving delicious Vietnamese dishes. Their Bahn Mi sandwich, especially the Tofu Bahn Mi, stands out with its perfect crispy bread and simple yet spot-on fillings. The tofu is fried and super flavorful, and customers can ask for it to be made vegan (no aioli). The menu offers interesting drinks, including a creamy coconut iced coffee topped with toasted coconut flakes and a bold black Vietnamese coffee. Oat milk is available for lattes, and the staff are friendly and helpful, willing to customize drinks. The inside is small but has nice table and bar seating, creating a cozy atmosphere. The patio features picnic benches and tables, making it a great spot for a quick bite and coffee. Customers recommend taking the Bahn Mi to go for a picnic, as it travels well. Some jalapeños can be very spicy, and the space can feel cluttered, but the friendly staff and good food make up for it. The cafe is conveniently located near Boston’s art museums, making it a solid choice for a flavorful meal in a cozy setting.
