Cafe La Vies (center Pkwy)

My favorite drink at this place is the Vietnamese Hazelnut Coffee. They prepare the best Vietnamese coffee in the area!

The atmosphere of the place is decent, the Wi-Fi is reliable, and there's plenty of seating available for gatherings with friends or studying with a partner or group. The service was prompt and straightforward, which was a plus. While the variety of food options has significantly increased, the quality has unfortunately declined just as much. Excluding the food and drinks, this café would score around 3.5, perhaps even close to 4. However, the café ambiance isn't quite what it used to be, especially with the shift towards pop music instead of more soothing instrumentals. On the bright side, if you wear headphones, the music issue becomes less significant. The main reason for my 3-star rating is the Strawberry Green Tea I ordered. While the green tea flavor is there, the strawberry and other components taste awful. It might be due to rotten fruit or something else entirely, but overall, the drink was not enjoyable. Even without the fruit, the drink lacks flavor. As for the coffee, it remains consistent with what I've experienced before.

The Caramel Frappé and the Vietnamese Ube were expertly made and nicely packaged! The drinks were perfectly sweet, and the coffee quality was excellent for the price! I will definitely order coffee from here again!

Delicious!! The presentation is beautiful, and I really appreciate the variety of my favorite coffee, Vietnamese coffees.

The vibe and ambiance have changed significantly as well. There’s now much more seating, and it seems like an increasing number of people are using the space to study. The music has shifted, moving from smooth jazz and typical cafe background tunes to artists like Frank Ocean and Tyler the Creator. Overall, while it tends to be on the pricier side, the coffee remains good. Just steer clear of the teas. There's a decent amount of space for studying, but it can get quite noisy, so I recommend bringing headphones.
