Morning Boost vs. Afternoon Treat: When to Drink Each FifthSip Coffee Blend

Coffee isn’t just about caffeine—it’s about the experience, the mood, and the perfect timing. At FifthSip, our menu is designed with this in mind. Some drinks are crafted to fuel your morning with bold energy, while others are ideal for a smooth, indulgent afternoon treat. Whether you’re looking for a serious caffeine kick to start your day or a lighter, creamier sip to enjoy in the afternoon, we’ve got you covered.

Morning Boost: Strong & Energizing

If your goal is to wake up, focus, and power through your morning, you need a coffee that delivers a strong caffeine punch with bold flavors. These are the best FifthSip drinks for that essential morning boost:

1. Saigon Black – Pure Energy in a Cup

This is the coffee for those who take their caffeine seriously. Made with slow-drip Vietnamese robusta, Saigon Black is pure, unfiltered coffee intensity. No condensed milk, no cream—just a deep, bold brew that delivers a strong caffeine hit to jumpstart your day.

Best for: Early risers, black coffee lovers, and anyone who needs serious focus.

2. Saigon Drip – Classic, Bold, and Slightly Sweet

This signature drink balances strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, creating a smooth yet powerful brew. It’s not as intense as Saigon Black, but it still packs enough caffeine to keep you sharp.

Best for: Those who love strong yet slightly sweet coffee, perfect for a productive morning.

3. Hanoi Egg – A Luxurious Energy Boost

It might sound like a dessert, but Hanoi Egg is surprisingly energizing. The frothy, velvety egg foam adds richness without overpowering the bold coffee, making this drink a morning indulgence that still delivers on caffeine.

Best for: Mornings when you need a little extra luxury with your caffeine.

4. Pistachio Latte – Smooth & Nutty Power

If you’re looking for a strong yet creamy start to your day, the Pistachio Latte is a great choice. The nutty richness complements the bold espresso base, making it both energizing and smooth.

Best for: Those who love a full-bodied latte with a unique, nutty twist.


Afternoon Treat: Smooth & Refreshing

After lunch or mid-afternoon, you might still want coffee, but not something as intense as a morning boost. These drinks are perfect for a more relaxed, refreshing experience.

1. Coconut Slush – Tropical & Light

Vietnamese coffee meets a smooth, icy coconut blend in this refreshing drink. It has just enough caffeine to keep you going, but the coconut makes it feel like an afternoon escape rather than a heavy pick-me-up.

Best for: Warm afternoons when you want something refreshing but still caffeinated.

2. Coco Americano – Crisp, Light, and Hydrating

Combining coconut water with bold Vietnamese espresso, this drink is refreshing without being too creamy. It’s light, slightly sweet, and hydrating, making it a perfect afternoon refresher.

Best for: Post-lunch coffee cravings without the heaviness of milk-based drinks.

3. Tiramisu Latte – Indulgence Without the Crash

If you’re looking for something sweet and creamy but still balanced, the Tiramisu Latte is a great afternoon option. The mascarpone cloud topping adds a luxurious texture, making this drink feel like a treat without being overly sugary.

Best for: When you want a dessert-like coffee without the sugar overload.

4. Ube Latte – A Vibrant, Relaxing Treat

Smooth espresso meets earthy, nutty ube, creating a naturally sweet and creamy latte that’s perfect for a slower afternoon. It’s not too strong, making it a great choice when you need a little caffeine but don’t want an intense jolt.

Best for: When you’re winding down the workday but still want a little coffee comfort.
