The churro pancakes were robust, flavorful, and lightly sweetened. My son loved them. My daughter had the bỏ né (grilled beef skillet). The bún riêu was solid... it was large sized, flavorful, and even included short ribs. I will definitely get it again. My wife got grilled pork banh mi (birria tacos for the table) and she was satisfied with both dishes. The ambiance was nice with decent lighting and a good amount of seating for the brunch/lunch crowd. We loved the pictures of Vietnam on the walls. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We look forward to being a recurring patron for years to come.

The banh mi is super tasty, fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and perfectly balanced. They also have a big variety of drinks. My favorite is the coconut water matcha, so refreshing, light, and not too sweet. The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

Yes, the beer is expensive, but the convenience is nice in Grad Hospital for just swinging by and grabbing something. Additionally, they have tables to chill inside while you're drinking.

The staff is friendly and great at recommending new and fun drinks. Unfortunately the last two times I've stoped by, my iced latte was a bit burnt.

Overall, a great cafe to work from and hang out a bit!

I don't think I've ever visited an an hour where I've seen it not. Often a line going from the counter, down the stairs, all the way to the bathroom. If you're looking for a quick coffee stop, don't expect to be in and out of here. That being said, they've got some kinds of seating not typical of coffee shops, including this nice long U-shaped couch seating. You'll be around with other folks reading or enjoying their joe, but it's a nice change of pace. Working-wise, wi-fi is solid. Outlets are sparse. Hard to stay a long time here. Music is at least at a tolerable level to tune out and is not usually too bumping. Staff here are quick, but won't be the friendliest. They won't be rude either. They're just trying to get through the line so don't take it personally Overall: would much prefer other places like Capital One Cafe for the reasons I visit cafes, but I can see this being a nice place for other more leisurely-natured visits!

A few colleagues convinced me to come on a coffee run here and it is my new spot. The staff is so kind and patient. I wasn't sure what to get. I debated between the coffee slushie and an iced coffee. They were kind enough to let me try the slushie. It was really good, but definitely an afternoon delight for me. I got an iced vanilla oat coffee instead - better than expected! I find that some coffee shop's iced is too watery, but this was perfect. Finally, I wish I could work from the shop because the space is open, large and beautiful.

But overall, with the exception of a few conversations, this is a pretty chill, focused environment for working, reading, or catching up with a friend. Staff are friendly, but at the time I visited were pretty busy handling a lot of incoming orders. My coffee, as expected, was fantastic, and my friend got a flash cold brew that was also really good. They sometimes have some seasonal specials here that are usually worth trying out! Wi-fi and outlets are decent. Check them out!

The chai latte had great depth and spice flavors, and the Shakshuka pastry was a great mix of flaky puff pastry and strong tomato and egg flavors. Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!
