They’re most known for their Vietnamese Egg Coffee ($6.50), a silky-smooth and foamy dessert best served hot. It’s not easy to find authentic egg coffee in Singapore, and regulars love Le Café Vie5’s sweet and creamy rendition.
Other interesting coffee-based drinks available are the Coffee Avocado ($9.90), Coffee Milkshake ($5.50), and Coco Coffee ($6.50)—a fragrant blend of strong coffee with tropical coconut notes.

Choose from a decent selection of banh mi. A popular pick is the Grilled Pork Baguette ($8): freshly toasted baguette stuffed with sweet and juicy chunks of pork, herbs, and veggies. They also have a more premium Beef Au Vin Baguette ($15.90), which stars a French-style beef stew instead.
