Iced Vietnamese Coffee in Trujillo Diner

Deep amber liquid fills a tall, clear glass, topped with a thick layer of creamy white condensed milk that sits distinct and heavy above the dark coffee. Condensation beads along the exterior surface, merging into small rivulets that track down the smooth glass wall. The drink rests on a worn wooden table, its grain visible under the warm, directional glow of a single overhead projector. Shadows stretch across the dark walls behind, creating a stark contrast with the bright liquid. The tight framing isolates the glass, showing the texture of the condensation and the separation between the milk and coffee layers. A faint reflection of the light source shimmers on the rim of the glass.
