We were walking in Pmall and saw this cute cafe which is located on the second floor. After reading some reviews, we decided to order the Condensed Milk Iced Coffee as it was one of the more popular orders! Another popular drink on the menu is also their Vietnamese Egg Coffee which I will try next time.
I was impressed because the coffee flavour was quite strong. I've had many iced coffee before, and the taste is usually diluted, but not theirs. The condense milk helped make it not as "bitter", but not too much that would dominate the drink. If you're a light sleeper, I don

Must Try: Condense Milk Coffee (Viet Coffee), Egg Coffee, Cococcino

A fantastic coffee shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, more people should order here. Located on the second floor of Pacific Mall, they are on various delivery apps as well (so available during any lockdowns). Their coffee is strong and has great flavour. My personal fav is their Cococcino and their Egg Coffee, but the safe bet is the Condense Milk Coffee. They offer a bunch of non-coffee based drinks as well

I come here for their Thai iced tea (regular and the green tea one) whenever I visit Pacific Mall. My tea orders are always with less/no sugar and no ice. However, I just noticed that they do charge extra for no ice. I also tried their Vietnamese coffee during this visit.
1) Thai Green Tea
I don't see a lot of places offering a green tea version of Thai iced tea (maybe I haven't looked that much) but I find myself enjoying this version than the original red one. The tea itself is flavourful and fragrant and I do love green tea (probably why I like this one more). It has been awhile

Stopped by Dak Lak while browsing stores inside Pacific Mall. Their coffee is always so fresh and aromatic!
This location is their first storefront location opened since 2016.
They carry amazing Vietnamese filter style coffee (cà phê sữa đá) and delicious creamy egg coffee. They say it's like a liquid tiramisu, apopular choice for people like the taste of strong coffee and for people who have travelled to Vietnam.
If you haven't tried one yet think of it like a smooth, bittersweet, creamy coffee treat. It slightly resembles the texture inside an Easter chocolate with a Crème

Came here on Saturday to tried out the food. To be honest the beefsteak is way too expensive and the quality isn't good either. My friend coffee taste like typical ready to go kinda coffee which isn't what we expect. My rice paper is not bad if they would mixed all together for me that way taste better. Overall not bad. Would give it once more tryout.

Nice decorations (view pictures). Cozy. Wide range of food; banh mi, sandwiches, noodles, coffee, banh trang tron,… the coffee is strong and aromatic. The food is amazing and beyond my expectations. My recommendations are ice milk coffee Vietnamese style (ca phe sua da) and banh trang tron. The location is very convenient, close to chinatown and T &T supermarket. Kungfutea is next door

Loved the egg coffee I ordered, but it was a tad bit on the sweet side compared to the versions I’ve had in Vietnam. Unfortunately, I found the system for ordering a bit cumbersome. The staff were amazing and helped us when we needed some water, even bringing a pitcher to the table. Overall, quite happy and will be returning!

I returned a few days later and tried the Vietnamese egg coffee again, this time in iced form. I still prefer the hot version though. I like the warm feeling when I drink it, it's just so more comforting. The iced version is good too. I also tried the durian lover dessert which brought my rating down 1 star. The durian flavor was light but there wasn't enough of it to justify its name. The durian meat was very little and it could be because this cafe is in the mall so maybe they didn't want a strong durian smell floating in the air. The red tapioca had barely any chestnut pieces

The viet coffee here is legittttt. Been here twice now and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of our drinks! We've tried the egg drop coffee, the condensed milk viet coffee and the jasmine lemon tea.
I cannot recommend the egg drop coffee enough. It is truly a unique taste and experience. You wouldn't think egg and coffee go well together but they do! The creaminess of the egg blends so well with the bitterness of the coffee - making for the perfect texture and sweetness.
With the condensed milk coffee, I got it iced with 25% sweetness and less ice. It's a super bold

There are two Dak Lak locations, one in PMall and the other located on College & Spadina. We were at the PMall location. We ordered the famous Vietnamese egg coffee and Durian Lover, a dessert drink with assortment of mixed jelly. If you order a large Durian Lover, they add a dollop of Durian on top.
We were very impressed with the unique egg coffee. It tastes like a less sweet Cadbury cream egg. The bitter coffee at the end perfectly balances the creamy, eggy top. The server took about 10mins or to prepare the egg coffee so it seems like a labour-intensive process. So I say worth the premium

Tucked right around the corner of Spadina and College, this spot is somewhat of a hidden gem! Got some iced Vietnamese Condensed Milk coffee and it was the perfect blend of sweetness and that classic Viet coffee flavour. Probably one of my go-to spots for it downtown now.
Will come back eventually to try the other stuff, but highly recommend this place as a quick stop for your summer days!

This place sells not only coffee but different types of drinks such as bubble tea, tea, and even durian milk ! They also serve Vietnamese food. I like the decor inside and they even have a machine where you can try to pick up plushies. Service is nice and friendly. The people taking my order and preparing the meal were speaking Vietnamese so this is legit. I got the egg coffee which reminded me of my trip to Vietnam. It was nice and thick up top and in the end (with the final last drops), I got some kind of peanut aftertaste which I thought was interesting and good. I also tried a banh mi which

I am not a daily coffee drinker so I appreciate that Dak Lak offers their signature condensed milk coffee at 2 different caffeine intensity. I ordered the mild / low caffeine version with ice and was pleasantly surprised with the bold flavour. Due to the fact that I ordered mild, I was anticipating a more "watered down" / weak flavour. The amount of condensed milk was perfect. It wasn't too sweet (I am the type who order 30% sugar for bubble tea) but was enough to bring out the coffee flavour.
I'll definitely come here again whenever I am craving a caffeinated drink!

One of the many bubble tea spots in Pacific Mall, but I would say some of the best.
If you're looking to try a place that isn't your big chain bubble tea shops, this is your spot. They make a lot of Vietnamese styled drinks, which are characteristic of strong flavours and heavy sugar. The wait may be a little longer than usual, since they make their drinks fresh, but you won't be bored with the staff there! They're all very friendly and are delightful to chat with.

The 4 stars is for their Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Love the taste of it - it's super strong and their 20% sweetness is perfect. I would say be careful drinking it too much (especially if you get it iced) as you can get pretty wired pretty quickly. Delicious though!
We had a hard time finding the stall in Pacific Mall - it's located upstairs on the right hand side near the first bubble waffle stall.
Will definitely stop by whenever we're in the area and need a good caffeine fix.

We were in the infamous P Mall the other day where parking is always a disaster on weekends and decided to give this highly rated Vietnamese coffee place a try located on the 3rd floor of the mall. I got the #1 order which was the traditional Vietnamese coffee on ice (ca phe sua da).
Long story short, the coffee tasted very watered down and it didn't have that typical bold/strong coffee flavor you would expect in a Vietnamese coffee. It tasted as if it was left out for a while and the ice had melted within the coffee but the lady made it on the spot.
Very disappointing.

This is a bold statement, but this might be the best viet coffee I've had! I am very particular, as most places are way too sweet. Here, you may order your level of sugar like a bubble tea shop.
This review is solely for the coffee only - as it alone deserves recognition. There are many other items on the menu as well I'd love to try next time! They have some vietnamese snacks as well.

Tried the Thai Green Tea and it was absolutely delicious. It has the balance of the Thai coffee and green tea taste. The sweetness is just right.
It's really a breadth of fresh air having this store at this location. It provides great tea/coffee choices at a place otherwise dominated by the usual bubble tea.
The 3 stars came from the service. There are two people working there and the person who took our order was not particularly friendly. Also, it took a long time to get our order. They were chatting with each other while making the coffee and there was no sense of urgency.

I came here on a Sunday after with my friends. I walked up to the cashier. He was very helpful at helping me pick my drink as I was being very indecisive. I finally decided on their condense milk iced mild coffee. I didn't want something too strong as it was already 4pm and I was afraid not being able to sleep at night. After I ordered we waited for 5 minutes till I got my drink. There was only one girl at the back making drinks.
The coffee was pretty good for the price and it was also very strong even though I ordered the mild I felt my heart racing after the drink.

If you really like strong dark roast coffee and drinks that contain so much caffeine that it's almost like drinking Red Bull then the Vietnamese coffee at Dak Lak may be for you.
Their signature Condensed Milk Vietnamese Coffee can be served hot or cold at $3.5 for M and $4.5 for L. If you want no ice however, it's $1 extra since they said they need to put more drink content in there. You could also choose to get the option with less caffeine, which was what I honestly should have gotten. In terms of the taste it was pretty good and definitely had the authentic Vietnamese coffee taste

Tiny coffee shop located in the southwest side of the second floor of Pacific Mall, this place offers viet-style coffees, teas, and bubble teas.
It only has room for 2 people at a raised wooden bar and another standalone chair for people to sit and wait for their orders.
Almost everything cost only $4-$6 here and all of their drinks are of reasonable size.
I love their owl branding, which on their feature poster and points card, is an owl formed with two mugs of coffee as eyes and coffee beans for the body. So cute!
We asked the barista what Dak Lak meant and apparently it is a city in Vietnam

I was craving a hot milk tea. Being in the Kennedy/Steeles area, what more suitable place is there to go to other than Pacific Mall? I headed straight to the second floor and starting browsing all the drink shops. What caught my eye first was their breakfast menu that was on a stand outside the shop. I instantly made a mental note to come back for brunch since I had such a hard time looking for a brunch place that same morning. Then I saw the owl logo and the Dak Lak Egg Coffee and I remembered seeing this place on Yelp.
The two people working (I'm assuming the owners) were very friendly

Simple, strong viet coffee. You'll def be awake after drinking this! It's quite reasonably priced - like the same as Starbucks.
Service here is really good! The girl at the front was helpful and friendly. She advised that getting less sweet might be a bit too bitter so I opted for 50% instead. It was a good choice!
They also have a stamp card for each time you make a purchase.
Also, they sell viet coffee equipment and ingredients in case you want to DIY at home!
