Beyond the Phin: Salted Cream, Ube and the Creamliner Series
Most people picture the phin when they think of Vietnamese coffee. At Tram, the phin is only where a drink begins. The cream is what makes it ours, and two of our creams take Vietnamese coffee somewhere new: our Salted Cream, Tram's take on Vietnamese salted coffee, and the colorful Creamliner Series.

Salted Cream: Tram's Take on Vietnamese Salted Coffee
Vietnamese salted coffee pairs bold coffee with a lightly salted cream. The salt softens the bitterness and brings out the sweetness, so every sip lands somewhere between sweet and savory.
- Salted Cream Coffee: phin-filtered coffee, milk and condensed milk, finished with Tram's Salted Cream.
- Einspanner Salted Latte: a coffee latte base and foam, topped with salted cream and finished with cocoa powder.
- Salted Matcha: salted cream, oat milk, condensed milk and matcha, for a sweet-and-salty drink without coffee.
Meet the Creamliner Series
The Creamliner Series is all about sweet creams over bold coffee. Each cup pairs Vietnamese coffee with a flavored cream that looks as good as it tastes.
- Ube Cream Coffee: Vietnamese coffee meets Filipino ube in a cream creation with vibrant purple yam flavor.
- Matcha Cream Coffee: traditional Vietnamese coffee with premium matcha cream.
- Sesame Cream Coffee (house pick): rich Vietnamese coffee with nutty sesame cream.
- Banana Cream Coffee: banana cream, mascarpone, milk, condensed milk and espresso.
