    vietnamese iced coffee
    Sarah C.

    viet iced coffee wasn't as sweet as other places! it was only $5.45. there's plenty of other cheap foods and drinks too, e.g. $7.99 banh mis, $5+ breakfast sandwiches, $6+ smoothies...

    Stopped into this tiny little coffee shop 10 minutes after they opened & there was already a line out the door. Got a latte that was tasty and a few croissants. There were a few tables inside and out, but the space is small. Service was friendly and efficient. They are clearly a local favorite & I can see why!

    Checked out Fresh Brew Coffee on a Sunday morning -- it was pretty busy with a small line forming inside. The vibes reminded me of a classic deli with dependable, no-frills sandwich options. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was a miss for me, but I'm hoping their other coffee drinks fare better. - Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwich -- butter-toasted bread, crispy bacon, and a well-balanced egg & cheese combo - Ham Egg & Cheese Croissant -- crispy toasted croissant with nicely melted cheese over ham & egg - Vietnamese Iced Coffee -- unfortunately a big miss; the flavor was so off that I couldn't finish it Service was impressively fast despite the morning rush -- we got our food and drinks in short order. There are a handful of seats inside if you want to dine in, but it's also a perfect grab-and-go spot. Ambience was cozy and bustling on a wintry SF morning. Note: they prefer cash and there's a surcharge for card payments. If you're in SF and craving a great breakfast sandwich to kick off your day, Fresh Brew Coffee has got you covered!

    Really taste good , the is my first time using it, ordered sandwich and coffee, served quickly

    I was here a year ago. Nothing's changed! Still excellent.

    Came back after a year. Visiting family in San Francisco. It remains top of my list. Delicious.

    I thought I had reviewed this spot but I guess not. This is my favorite place when staying in San Francisco in this are. Family who runs the place are great and I love supporting places like this. Prices for the food is very reasonable and the Bahn Mi is on point. Some of the best I have had and only $8 at this time. They are usually very busy so obviously everyone else around this area shares the same love. They do prefer cash but accept card with a slight little fee.

    Get the bahn mi!!! It's so odd but so true that some of the best bahn mi aren't at Vietnamese restaurants but randomly at little coffee and donut shops run by Vietnamese people. The bread is perfectly crunchy and all the ingredients are very tasty and fresh. Sandwich packs a nice punch at a great affordable price.

    Menu and register

    Cute little grab and go sandwich shop that offers coffee, bagels, banh mis, and smoothies. I ordered the Banh Mi combo with extra jalapeños and was pleasantly surprised on how yummy it was. The bread is soft and crunchy and meat was flavorful. The guy who mans the register and makes the sandwich was nice. Interior feels like a neighborhood grab and go, which is something I like. Will be coming back!

    Banh mi, Viet coffee
    Jeffrey Y.

    Honestly, I would come here every day for the banh mi. Compared to places in the TL, the portion of meat is less per order for around 50 cents to 1 buck more. I don't mind that in my opinion because I like my banh mis on the lighter side rather with good amount of veg which this sandwich has! Unfortunately, the Viet coffee was a bit watery.

    First time here. Will write a review after I have my sandwich
    Stephanie C.

    I walked down from my home to try this location. I didn't eat my sandwich right away. I ordered the steam pork with pate sandwich. The first bite, I know I will be back. Service is quick and it looks like a number of people live in the neighborhood. The ambiance is warm and friendly. My sandwich was $7.99! Support this small family run business.

    I live blocks away and this is a San Francisco treasure! I love (who I presume to be) the husband-wife duo. The banh mi was very reasonably-priced and filling. I also enjoyed my iced Vietnamese coffee and have at other times gotten the Sausage egg and cheese on everything bagel breakfast sandwich. Very flavorful and well-cooked. It seems like a real neighborhood joint--there's a little seating inside and outside, and the clientele seems diverse. You have construction workers, tourists, locals, families, older women with dogs...everyone was friendly, not just the staff! A class from the nearby Cathedral School for Boys visited (not when I've been there) and left a Thank You for the owner who showed them how to make smoothies (I need to come back to try a smoothie.)

    Veggie Bahn Mi with Falafel
    Komal R.

    Husband found this hidden gem for a quick breakfast before starting our day in SF. We got the Veggie Bahn Mi and Pork Bahn Mi and both were extremely fresh tasting, the bread was perfectly crispy and easy to bite into. The owner is super sweet too.

    Can you get the Vietnamese sandwiches at breakfast time? Or only at the lunch hour?

    Anytime they're open.

    Can the owners please enforce mask requirements to employees? I came in today 9/6/20 and the lady making sandwiches wasn't wearing a mask.

So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

After I ordered, I took a seat in the waiting area by the Togo window to wait for my order. There was plenty of tables for dining in, but they were filled so I grabbed my order to eat outside. There was a little area in the front of the store for you to eat at. Stonemill matcha has been on my radar for a long time now and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the matchazuke 4.5/5 and the matcha latte 4/5 and they were both delicious. The matchazuke was perfectly savory, each bite packed full of umami. The piece of salmon was seasoned nicely, not too salty and paired perfectly with the matcha. The matcha broth was so comforting, you could taste the bonito dashi they used to make it. I was worried the portion would be too small but it was pretty filling! The matcha latte had a beautiful deep green color and was creamy and not too sweet. I did noticed that it was a little grainy, which was the only thing I didnt like about this experience.

After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
