Pho Nguyen’s House

pho nguyen's house does vietnamese-style coffee well, and that's a harder thing to get right than most people assume. the balance between strong drip and sweetened condensed milk, or the iced ca phe versions that hit differently than anything you'd find at a drive-through chain, takes a specific kind of attention. you're on 28th ave w in lynnwood, which isn't a neighborhood that gets a lot of coffee press, but that's never been the point here. local regulars found this place and kept it. the reputation built quietly, which is usually how it goes when the product is doing the talking. if you're new to vietnamese coffee, the iced version is where to start.
