According to '' Willamette Week'' Andrea Damewood, Portland Cà Phê is among the few Portland establishments serving cheese foam (blended whipped cream, cream cheese, and sea salt). She called the business "a low-key second outpost" of House of Banh Mi, a Vietnamese restaurant owned by the mother of Portland Cà Phê's owner. The coffee shop serves bánh mì with House of Banh Mi's "signature" egg butter, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño. Coffee cinnamon rolls and "pastry pop tarts" from Jen's Bagels and Pastries are also available.
