Ca Phe

What is Ca Phe? Set at 434 Parliament Street in Cabbagetown, Ca Phe is a micro-cafe carved out of the front corner of Rapid Photo Studio. Founded by Lily Huang and V—the duo behind Viet Bites—the compact space channels Vietnamese coffeehouse culture with clean counters and the steady aroma of pandan and espresso. Seating is limited to minimal counter perches, making it an energetic grab-and-go hub for neighbourhood locals and photo studio creatives.

Ca Phe Menu & What to Order Traditional phin-brewed robusta takes center stage, led by the decadent Hanoi Egg Coffee folded with silky whipped yolk and sweetened condensed milk. Cold specialty creations shine with the Pandan Cream Coffee and frosty Blended Coconut Coffee, alongside inventive ceremonial matcha concoctions like the Ube Cream Matcha Latte and Piña Colada Matcha Slushy. For a sweet companion, order one of the freshly pressed croffles loaded with whipped cream, crushed pistachios, or Biscoff cookie crumble.

Know Before You Go This is strictly a walk-in coffee bar with no reservations, so expect brief counter lineups during sunny weekend afternoons. Street parking along Parliament Street is metered, but the spot is easily accessed via the 506 Carlton streetcar or 65 Parliament bus. Ca Phe opens daily at 10:00 a.m., closing at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
