HAIBAYÔ

Uptown · Vietnamese/Southeast Asian Coffee Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1132 W Argyle St, Chicago, IL 60640

HAIBAYÔ opened on Argyle Street in Uptown's 'Asia on Argyle' corridor, co-founded by Hạc Trần, who holds a master's in urban planning and policy, and Jennifer 'Nuky' Phạm, who runs a pharmacy in the same shared space — the cafe sits at the back of the building, with signage guiding visitors past the pharmacy to find it.

$$
Vietnamese coffee and a cream-cheese Thai iced tea, sourced from New Math Roasters, Volition Tea, and VietFive — a mission-driven cafe anchoring Uptown's 'Asia on Argyle' corridor.

The concept is explicitly bigger than a coffee shop: it's structured as the for-profit arm of the Argyle Street Collective, a community organization, with the cafe itself framed as a 'third space' meant to anchor the neighborhood rather than just sell drinks. The menu runs Southeast Asian coffee and tea specifically, built on relationships with respected regional names — New Math Roasters, Volition Tea, and VietFive — rather than a generic house blend, with Vietnamese coffee, a Thai iced tea finished with cream cheese, and banh mi croissants rounding out the small-bites side. Hours lean toward the early-and-short end: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. most weekdays, a bit later and longer on weekends, closed Tuesdays entirely.

The Infatuation flagged it as a 'we haven't been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists' entry, the usual signal for a legitimately new opening that hasn't had time to build a full critical record yet. For a stretch of Argyle Street already known citywide as a Southeast Asian food destination, HAIBAYÔ adds a coffee-and-tea anchor built with the same intentionality as the restaurants around it — a genuine community project wearing a cafe's clothes.
