A Vietnamese coffee shop is coming to Columbia City
Since they came to Seattle eight years ago from Vietnam, Chen Dien and his wife Trang Cao have searched for a cup of coffee that could, for a sip, transport them home. When they couldn’t find it, they decided to make it themselves.

Coffeeholic House brews Vietnamese coffee in Colombia City
A Seattle coffee shop is bucking trends during the COVID-19 crisis. While many local businesses and restaurants have had to shut their doors, Coffeeholic House opened theirs. Chen Dien and his wife worked for about a year to get the coffee shop off the ground. They were finally ready to open when the pandemic hit.

Favorite Seattle Coffee Shop
I wish I could remember what I exclaimed when I had my first sip at Coffeeholic House (although we probably couldn’t print it anyway). The Vietnamese coffee shop’s bestselling drink—nutty robusta coffee topped with cream cheese foam—delivers a sweet-and-salty combo so scarcely found in beverages that it drives me to Columbia City most every weekend.

The Hottest Coffee Shops to Check Out
Columbia City’s Vietnamese cafe Coffeeholic House opened its second location in Greenwood at the beginning of October. Sourcing coffee directly from Vietnam, Coffeeholic offers modern takes on traditional Vietnamese drinks, like its ube latte (Purple Haze), and best-seller Coffeeholic Dream, made with salted cheese foam.

The young owners of Seattle’s new Coffeeholic House adapt to challenging times with dazzling specialties and inspiring resolve
Things never go exactly as planned when opening a restaurant, and that goes double when it opens one week before Gov. Jay Inslee issued the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order. Thanks equally to the owners’ inspiring flexibility and their original coffee drinks, Columbia City’s Coffeeholic House is an extremely welcome bright spot.
