I've had the TEA several times now, this most recent visit being on Xmas that just passed, and I'm convinced this is my new fave spot for a Viet Coffee.
I will say that I've only had the Seasalt Cream OG and not the straight up Viet Coffee, but their take on it here is my favorite so far. If you're like me and have had an abundance of Viet Coffees than you have probably seen this common variation with the seasalt cream on top, so the concept is not new, they just do it well here. I like that the foam itself is not too thick like I've seen at some places, so that you can actually really stir it into your drink to evenly distribute the salted foam. The coffee has always been strong enough so that the cream does not overtake the base flavor you want in a good Viet Coffee. Oh and they used crushed ice which for me makes a good Viet Coffee, just that much better.
They are located on Atlantic, right across from Ralphs, and adjacent to Mar Center, so you should be able to find parking in that lot. But just FYI, those spots at the top of the structure are really narrow. There are a few spots directly in front of the TEA if you get lucky.
As I mentioned, my most recent visit was on Xmas, and the staff were all very friendly, especially the girl taking orders. I feel like she might be the owner/manager. She just had a real personal demeanor which is always much appreciated.
There is a nice green aesthetic inside and even though this is there singular location they seem to really have their branding on point with their name, logo, cups, etc. The inside is a longer rectangular shape with the employee work area taking up much of the space. There are a few tables at the front.
With the endless choices of drink spots in the area, be sure you work the TEA into your mix.
Cheers!

Solid milk tea, ample parking, but despite the size of the place, not that many places to sit.
