THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE CART

Warm hands,
familiar faces.

Family and friends who pour every cup like you are a guest in our home. A little flower for the youngest guest, a name on every cup, a laugh while the phin drips.

Our story

Built on gold.
Held together by iron.

Aufe /aw-fey/ is Nhat and Tran, husband and wife, with family and friends beside them. We were born and raised in Vietnam and now call the Pacific Northwest home. Our cart pours a little of both.

Gatherings

Something old, something new,
from right here and from home.

Phin coffee from Vietnam, poured for weddings and gatherings in the Pacific Northwest. Here is how each experience looks, from celebrations we’ve been part of.

THE VILLAGE

Styled for your celebration.

Meaningful drink names and a themed menu, a cart styled to your occasion, light fresh florals and cocktail-style cups. Our most loved for weddings.

THE PHIN

One ticket, one drink.

Drink tickets with a clear allowance, made for teams, brands and office gatherings. You hand out the tickets; we pour one drink per ticket. No room for a cart? We can deliver your drinks pre-packaged instead.

BREW WITH A PHIN

Make it, share it.

A hands-on workshop for 10 or more guests: everyone brews their own phin, learns the slow Vietnamese drip and takes one home.
