Memoire Ca Phe

Mémoire Cà Phê is a vibrant addition to the Alberta Arts District, bringing a fresh take on Vietnamese coffee culture. Their traditional cà phê sữa đá (iced coffee with condensed milk) is a must-try—strong, sweet, and incredibly refreshing. For a unique twist, the egg coffee, topped with a silky egg cream, offers a rich and creamy experience that's hard to find elsewhere.​

The café has quickly gained a loyal following, with visitors praising the innovative menu and warm atmosphere. Some reviewers noted that though this cafe is new, it has already found its place among Portland’s growing mix of restaurants, thanks to the clear and thoughtful vision of its creators.

The interior is thoughtfully decorated, evoking a sense of nostalgia with elements reminiscent of Vietnamese heritage. Seating is ample, accommodating both individuals and larger groups comfortably. Outdoor seating is also available, allowing guests to enjoy their drinks while taking in the lively neighborhood scene.​

Mémoire Cà Phê opens at 8:00 AM daily, catering to both early birds and those looking for a mid-morning pick-me-up. The café is family-friendly, offering a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. During peak times, especially on event days like the Last Thursday Art Walk, there may be a short wait, but the efficient and friendly staff ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.​
