I chose 3 different flavors for the birthday cake, and they were all so tasty. I was especially grateful to the staff for being so kind and packing it with care. Simply the best!

The Story
About This Place
Faro Cafe occupies a three-story villa on Xuân Thủy, one of Thao Dien's residential side streets, where each floor has been styled to offer a distinct photograph. The crowd reflects that: on weekends tables fill with people working their way through the floors between sips, and around holidays the pace sharpens — December brings visitors specifically for the backdrop. One regular draws a direct comparison to EveryHalf on bean quality, which sets a reasonable benchmark for what to expect from the espresso bar. The Salt Coffee, with its caramel finish, and the Cheese Foam Coffee, which layers a creamy topping over a strong base, are the drinks that prompt return visits. Cau Brew — a house pairing of coffee and guyabano (soursop) — is the most distinctive item on the menu and worth trying for the contrast alone. Cold brew drinkers can go bold with the Traditional Cold Brew or softer with the Fresh Milk Coldbrew. The milk tea list includes Roasted Oolong with black sugar boba and a Lotus Seed and Longan combination that borrows from Vietnamese chè in drink form. Food runs to egg tarts with crispy pastry layers, Danish donuts, and purple sweet potato mochi. Staff have drawn consistent praise for attentiveness — one visitor had a wrong drink swapped immediately without asking — and water is complimentary. Pricing sits at the reasonable end for the neighborhood. The main caveat from reviews: the open multi-floor layout that makes it photogenic also means ambient noise varies by floor and time of day, and a full house can get loud.

You should try a good taste coffee bean here. It brings the same feeling as EveryHalf. Nice decoration and free water. Reasonable price
Nice café in Thao Dien. The drinks were good. The food (ice cream and cookies) were lackluster. Nice friendly staff.
Cau Brew - a unique taste of a coffee and guyabano (soursoup). A well situated location, breezy and refreshing atmosphere.
This place just gives a headache. 4 staff members playing intermittent noisy games on their phones, music on their phones, whilst also Cafe music overhead. came here to have a peaceful time, do some work on laptop. I had to leave quicker than expected. likely too many staff if they're all bored. Also 1 star on coffee (no different to Dolphy but higher price, and they're incapable of making a cappuccino) and food is all high fat.
