The bánh mì is a great value for the price, and the portions are huge. The pork was incredibly tender, and I also loved the refreshers. They were the perfect drink for a hot day!! Seating is pretty limited, so I would recommend ordering takeout if you can. The good news is there's a park nearby if you wanna stay around in the area. read more

Banh Mi Cafe was such a delicious find! We needed to get a quick bite to eat in the area, so we decided to check this place out. The lemongrass chicken banh mi was tasty, as the meats were juicy and marinated very well - the pickled veggies were plentiful, and the sandwich itself was just super generous and very filling! The baguette was top notch, being it perfectly toasted and crusty! The vermicelli bowl with the lemongrass beef was also a winner - the sauce that complemented the bowls and the fresh veggies were on point - the beef was savory, but in larger chunks, and, again, the portions were out of control! Super small place with about 5 seats at best; staff were fine, albeit a bit forgetful. Items are made/prepared to order, so you may be waiting a few. Great spot in the East Village if you're hungry! +banh mis +vermicelli bowls +limited seating read more

Food was good but staff is quite rude they looked like they hated me when I said I'm allergic to peanuts and asked for no peanut sauce (they also rlly should do a better job of advertising that the sandwiches come w peanut sauce bc I didn't see it anywhere in store just on one of the online ordering platforms) Big bummer bc I work pretty close by and loooove a sandwich for lunch, so they could've had me as a regular read more

Hands down one of the best viet spots I have had in a while. I tried a variety of their dishes which all were good. But the best ones were honestly the Banh mi sandwiches, tom yum soup and chicken curry noodle soup. Also their drinks were refreshing and I was craving more of them haha. The service was very nice and ambiance is pretty chill. You guys gotta come here and try the food which are great prices as well. read more

The ube matcha had a really smooth flavor and was just sweet enough, the banh mi was a nice size with fresh ingredients and crisp bread. I definitely want to return to try the pho. Theres a few seats inside and a table outside. Really cute decorations and lovely service the lady was very friendly. read more

Banh Mi Cafe a small Vietnamese cafe situated a block or so away from Tompkins Square Park. fairly small space with several tables to eat-in as well as a table or two outside. very casual ambiance--clean interior. never ate here, but i did stop by a few weeks ago to grab an iced Vietnamese coffee. the coffee drink is pre-batched (meaning it's not made from scratch with a "phin" because that would take too long). the coffee presents a strong bitter flavor which is pretty much a trademark of this drink...the bitterness is offset with the sweet creamy smoothness of the condensed milk. the flavors combines to leave a dark chocolate caramel-y flavor with an icy caffeine kick. service is quick, but feels kinda cold and antiseptic which is in sharp contrast to the typical warm vibes that you'd get at a Bahn mi place. i'd rate Banh Mi Cafe as a good place to grab a drink if you're in the neighborhood or headed to the park. read more

It was just okey, saw this place and got excited from across the street and we decided to get some banh mi here. The place is small but cute and clean and very nicely set up. There are few table outside on the sidewalk and couple inside. No customers when we went, so no wait in line. Menu looks good and staff is nice and friendly, quick ordered but abit long to get the foods. We got the VNese iced coffee and regular banh mi...the coffee is okey, not quite the VNese tasting that you expected (we're VNese so we do know what it should taste like since we drank daily), the banh mi was very odd, not quite mixing well with all the ingredients...all I can say is that we only ate 1/2 of it. We're from SoCal, where all the VNese lives and we do traveled back and forth to VN so the expectation is not very high and experience this was far below. It's not that bad but it not that good nor so so neither. Also if you call it banh mi, and I would say that this is not banh mi for my personal point of view. Overall, the place is cute and lovely with nice & friendly staff but the banh mi and the coffee was not up to our expectations and we didn't have one in the first place e....cost wise, it's not cheap neither, but it's NYC so. read more

Probably what you would expect exactly from a Banh Mi Cafe. It is a small and cute shop in prime real estate, so you should expect a hefty price for Banh Mi here. What they charge more for, they more than make up for in the quantity of the sandwich. The people are also extremely friendly, so that is a major up. I ordered the traditional banh mi, as this will ultimately judge any shop on how good their banh mis are. The bread is fantastic. I am not sure if they make their own daily, but it certainly tastes like it. They are very generous with the vegetables, so it makes the banh mi appear larger than standard. Everything else is alright. The deli meat (pork roll and sliced ham) and pate taste as they should. This is definitely a place to search up if you are looking for a traditional banh mi and do not feel like chancing any bad ones nearby. read more

An excellent experience - sweet variety of Bahn Mi samiches with really great bread and major heft! I was definitely impressed with the options, taste and quality of the ingredients. I had 2 filling meals from the one I bought. The service was great too. Small store with seating for maybe 6 total but cool vibe and interesting customers. After getting my sandwich I had a 10 minute conversation with 2 students and an older & very wise man regarding Movies & Politics. Felt like the old East Village for a minute there! read more

Service is great, the place looks clean and nice. My review will mainly be on food takeout. Their bahn mi is good but other dishes are slightly lacking. I had the pho and the noodles were soggy and I wasn't able to enjoy it. On the menu, it said the thai iced tea/ribena drink came with boba or a specific topping but I didn't get toppings in my drink. The drinks were also on the bland side. I may come back to try other items and they are new so I am hoping I get a better experience next time I go there. read more

Just came by for a coffee, so I can't say anything about the banh mi, but my coffee was delicious! Love that they have so many flavor options for their Vietnamese iced coffees. I had trouble choosing, but ended up going with the coconut which was so lovely and exactly what I needed to get through the rest of the day. You get strong notes of both coffee and coconut (as well as coconut pieces!)-- would recommend! read more

The prices here are pretty good for nyc, $13 per item. The lemongrass pork banh mi was decent. The ratio of toppings is good, pickled veggies were crisp and refreshing, pork was decently tender but could've been seasoned better. the bread was also a bit soggy but delivery could've caused that. the curry fishball noodles were definitely disappointing though. the curry itself had no seasoning which i didn't even know was possible?? The only flavors i got out of it was spice with an essence of curry, also for some reason it tasted a little alcoholic.... not sure what caused that. Overall banh mi yes but pretty average & curry fishball noodles no no. This rating is only for the food, their drinks look good so i'll try them out and see how i feel! read more

The coffee was delicious, especially on a hot summer day. It was a quaint little shop with limited seating, but it wasn't too busy and the service was quick! I was drawn in for the coffee, but if I hadn't just eaten lunch I would have loved to try a banh mi or some pho if it was colder outside read more

Pho broth was tasteless, meat overcooked and no sprouts or mint. I wouldn't come here for soup.

Dropped by to pick up our morning pick me up and the place didn't disappoint. The location is new and everything is up to standard: light and airy atmosphere, cute decor, and some small seating spaces. All staff were super friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they went out of their way to be extra amicable, it felt more human than most coffee shop interactions. The egg coffee was good, but not great! I'll say I've had a variety of egg coffees widely dispersed in California and they are both strong, flavorful, and creamy. This egg coffee didn't have much cream in it, which surprised me, as egg coffee foams I've had are rather thick and make the coffee super creamy. A bit more bitter than I'd like before mixing, but very fragrant and refreshing. No worries, when the foam was mixed in, the drink was balanced enough! The ube option is much better but both drinks have drawbacks. I will say, there was a lot of ice by the time we finished a drink. There didn't seem to be much coffee in the cup, which is a little disappointing if you're trying to sip on it throughout your day. Pho was pretty good! They pack up everything well for takeout and the broth and noodles are perfect. I appreciated that they cut the meatball into smaller pieces. For the price, it's a super strong option. Overall, diverse yet simple menu with a bunch of tantalizing options. I will be back to try the rest of their coffees and enjoy their bites. I was happy to see that nothing here is unaffordable. To have a Vietnamese space nearby is comforting and I'll visit time and time again to help it succeed. I want this place to win! read more

The food is good but the service is terrible. Always acting offensive or have attitude when my friend has a dietary restriction and cannot eat a veggie. Came here regularly but Never coming back read more

I was so excited to find this new spot while walking around the East Village. It's small, quick, affordable, and incredibly unique. I grabbed a couple of sandwiches and ended up meeting the owner, which made the experience even better. The flavors were super refreshing--unlike anything I've had before. The spices were perfectly balanced, and there's a great variety of meats to choose from. If you've got an appetite, you might want more than one. I had two and could've kept going. Highly recommend if you're into bold, fresh flavors. read more

this cozy place with only a few seats and limited menu but the banh mi is amazing crispy on the outside and the meats is well seasoned.
