I love this place for a super casual eatery! One of my new favorite Bolsa eateries. My recs: 1) macaroni filet mignon 2) hu tieu vang (broth on the side) Both so nostalgic and flavory. Enjoy. read more

Authentic and very tasty! Cute corner cafe with indoor outdoor seating. I ordered yellow noodle soup and tea. Flavorful and cane to $10!

First time here for a late lunch. It is a small lil place in Bolsa. I must say the macaroni w/ shaken fillet mignon was delicious!! I love their hot coffee w/ milk too:) Though, they need to brush up on their customer service a lil more. i do plan on coming back here this weekend for the Mac and coffee!!! read more

Gypsy Cafe - Hot coffee w/ milk and Macaroni w/ shaken beef - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

This place is expensive for sure!! Rip off. The food was not great, the place looks filthy af. I get iffy when they brought out the food. My husband paid, while we walked out, I looked at the receipt, wth it so expensive and the price does not match it in the menu. They charged me bánh mì ốp La for $10 . I walked back in and confront the cashier. The owner start yelling and said " mới lên giá" Anyways, never come back read more

This place make good "hu tieu". I've tried many places around the area and I have to said this is the BEST restaurant for "hu tieu nam vang". I'm from out of town, but every time I'm in town, this is my "must" stop by. The ambience is okay, more like a café place for people to sit around and smoke/drink coffee kindda place. I don't drink coffee so I can't said much. read more

The food is as ordinary as any Vietnamese restaurants in Bolsa. The service is okay but what bothers me is the attitude of the cashier. Perhaps she was having a rough morning but hey she can't just stamp the card to my face bam! no just no. I really like the atmosphere and thinking it's a good idea to come and have breakfast on weekends but I can't bring myself to come back and ruin my mornings by dealing with her moody attitudes, glancing and stamping my credit cards for no reasons. No thanks! read more

2 1/2 stars, just average food, nothing to write home about. However, service is excellent, the kind you would find in nice restaurants. We ordered the following: Hu Tieu Nam Vang 2 1/2 stars - even the one at 1.99 is better Gypsy Platter 2 1/2 stars - average ingredients Macaroni and Bo Lu Lac 2 1/2 stars - very greasy Service 5 stars - this alone may just bring us back read more

If Yelp has 0 star or under, I would definitely pick it. We came early this morning and saw a dead cockroach. This restaurant locates in the corner of Catinat plaza, next to a doctor office so 99% it came from its own kitchen. I saw a waitress making drinks, cafe not clean too. Never come back. read more

Nice atmosphere, good food. I had the Gyspy platter. It is ok. This cafe place is all the way to the end of the plaza. I hated the cigarette smoke coming inside the restaurant from the smokers seating outside. Will not return. read more

Gypsy Cafe - Gyspy Platter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

One of the best cafes in Westminster I have been to, the food is amazing, and I would recommend the Hu Tiu Nam Vang and the macaroni and beef. The service is also awesome! read more

Weird cafe place that's trying to be a restaurant. Lots of people sitting around on their laptops. They took up so much space that we didn't have a table to sit at and almost left. A small group left just at the right time. We all ordered the Hu Tieu Kho. It was not good. Would not recommend. The accompanying soup was too salty. The noodle itself was seasoned in such an unremarkable way. I had a limited amount of time to spend in the OC, and I regret wasting my lunch at Gypsy Cafe. read more

Sat down inside with a group of 4. Ordered 4 viet coffee - 3 hot, 1 iced. Never got the iced. It was a busy Saturday morning. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt. We kindly reminded them that we ordered an ice coffee multiple times and it still never came. Not asking for much from a coffee shop for coffee. Went to the coffee shop at the end of the plaza and had a cup in my hands within 30 seconds. read more

I order the same two dishes everytime I come here: 1. Beef macaroni 2. Egg noodle - dry Both are very flavorful and hit the spot Everytime! read more

Definitely an awesome traditional Vietnamese coffee place to hang out and chit chat. Be forewarned that if you cannot stand second hand smoke (like myself) either sit inside or order to go. The food is quite excellent as I would recc almost anything on their menu but especially the Hu Tieu Nam Vang. The Gypsy platter is great as well if you're there for breakfast. The coffee is strong and the smoothies are creamy, just like how they're suppose to be. There is definitely an eclectic mix of patrons that frequent this place. You have your traditional Viet men that sit and smoke 4 packs of cigs with their one cup of coffee, then there are the aspiring singers in the corner practicing to one day make it on Paris by Night. On the weekends, you will see tons of what appears to be extras from the show Sons of Anarchy; seems like the trend for old Vietnamese men is to buy a Harley and wear as much leather as you can. If you're a sport fan, especially soccer ot futbol, this is the place to be for all the big events (epl, el clasico, champions league, etc) It is quite packed during these time, so get there early for a good spot and be prepared to scream! read more

Probably my favorite cafe in town. The mac and beef is an absolute must. The soups are also great. The cafe is quite strong but it gets the job done. read more

I came visiting this cafe shop for expecting to watch some soccer games and enjoy the breakfast here as some good advice. I was at the cafe shop about 7 am and there were some people sitting in the shop and reserved the whole area. The service was too bad. there are about 5 waiters in the shop. They are trying to get my orders as soon as possible once I sat down and collected money right away. After collecting the money, they did not care about your presence even I politely ask for some water. They only care about the acquainted customers with food orders. I will never come back to this shop, they only want to get your money without any service. I wish to give them the negative star. Another thing is the wifi. I tried to ask the password to the wifi but the connection is terrible that I could not surf anything. I have to use my own cellular connection. read more

Love this place! Idk why they don't have better reviews. I've only tried 2 items. The first time I came here, I ordered the soup nui, which was pretty good. The 2nd time I came, I ordered the gypsy platter, which is basically a breakfast platter with pâté, sunny side up eggs, sausages, Vietnamese pork sausage, tomatoes, cucumbers, and toasted bread. THIS IS THE BESTT! I will def be coming back for this! read more

Gypsy cafe is my go-to getaway from reality. I usually get the ice lemon soda or cafe sua. It has a casual yet sophisticated vibe.

Great blended coffees, it's always hard to find one I really love and we found at least 2 on the first try. Cappuccino and Gypsy Chip are both really good. The outside seating area is relaxing and comfortable. read more

This is my flavor place to eat hu tieu. They mix yellow and white noodles, use large shrimp, flavorful mince pork, bits of garlic, and a side of soup to add to your noodle bowl. I enjoy their aromatic coffee too. Another popular dish is their breakfast Gypsy platter with fresh bread, butter, pate, two eggs, pork loaf ham, sausages, with a very good soy sauce. I love the food here. There are in and out door seating. Looks like a tucked away coffee shop for middle age and elders to hang. It is located in the same plaza as the wedding banquet Royal. The food is excellent, best around hu tieu and shakes. read more

Gypsy Cafe is tucked in the corner of the Catinat Plaza in Little Saigon. Now, I'm not a frequent Vietnamese coffee shop visitor, but I may have to state for the record that I probably won't ever go to one again. Don't get me wrong. The inside of the cafe is fine. The outside was unimpressive -- a few tables with some cheapy chairs. Their food selection was limited (but I guess you go for the coffee, not the food), but they did, however, have a good amount of drinks to pick from. I went with the sunnyside up egg with sausage, cha (pork patty), and pate sandwich with hot chocolate as my drink. BAD IDEA. The sandwich was mediocre, but I was appalled that I paid $6.00 for that $1.50 Banh Mi Cali-style sandwich! I could totally get a way better sandwich at other restaurants/delis for way cheaper.... Damn! The hot chocolate was about $3.00. It was pretty solid, but only because my friend Kat requested the waitress not to make it too sweet. Screw ups witnessed while I was there: 1. Everyone put their orders in for sandwiches.... 20 minutes later, the waitress comes out to tell us they're out of bread. FAILx1. 2. She suggests us to order something else; she is persistent about our group ordering noodles. K, ordering the noodles they go. 3. 10 minutes later, she comes out and tells us no more noodles.... FAILx2. 4. She then is adamant about getting the pork chops with rice. So good. Someone criticizes the beef, and she scowls. The others order pork chops. 5. She returns 10 minutes after ordering the food and tells us there ARE noodles. She asks if we still want them. Uhh, no, stupid. FAILx3. 6. Asked our waitress to bring ice water for the children. She brings them iced Asian tea 10 minutes later. FAILx4. 7. She brings out hot tea after most of everybody in the party has left, leaving three people to finish off tea they didn't order FAILx5. To make a long story short, I spent the next hour in the bathroom after coming home. FAIL. Tummy still hurts, in case you're wondering. :( P.S. Most of the seating is outdoors, which is the smoking section, and it's cold there. read more

Gypsy Cafe - This was hidden in the back right across from Royal on Brookhurt & Bolsa... As we pulled up to park... There was a bunch of tables and umbrellas outside and a lot of old men smoking and drinking coffee. Kinda gave me this fobby coffeeshop feel minus the girls in bikinis lol... Anyways we sat outside... ( table for 2 ) on a Sunday afternoon 10.26.14 ... Waitress gave us a menu... Pretty basic... I ordered a strawberry smoothie (Sinh To Dau) and my husband got the lemonade soda... We both ordered the macaroni filet mignon shaken beef (Bo Luc Lac)... When we got our drinks OMG it was horrible... the lemonade had no sugar in it we had to ask them to bring out some sugar for us... All we tasted was bland lemon juice and carbonation... The smoothie was a bust... NO FLAVOR!!!! Never again ordering that!!! They need to hire coffeeshop girls to train the workers how to make it right UGH! anyways our food came out... and luckily it tasted great so that made up for our nasty dranks!!!! The meat was perfectly cooked... the macaroni was sweet!!! came with some cucumbers and tomatoes and a side of soy sauce and peppers to dip... I loved it!!!! I would go back for this but prolly order it TO GO read more

Food was sooo amazing! Thai icw was yummy!Nice & comfy environment. Came down from phoenix will be back

Hu tieu nam vang was good but my suong sam has garlic smell in it!!! Couldnt finish it. Some lady probably makes the drink and hu tieu without washing their hand. Ruined the experience for me. read more

Worst place ever, I don't know how people eat form this place, bad food, bad service and bad management hehe

Minus the flies the food was delishhh! An awesome morning stop to have French bread and dip w beef stew or sunny side eggs. Service is alright. What do you expect from Vinatown? read more

Overpriced food and drinks. The food was decent but did not impress me. I can have the same food at cheaper price. The coffee was overly sweet. Tables are small and not enough places to sit. The servers look so unhappy and they are not accommodating to the guests. read more

Nui Bo Luc Lac is bomb!!!! That was the only dish they were serving that day (not sure why), good thing I was only coming for that dish. I will def come back for it again! Yum! read more

Not too crazy about this place! I admit it has a really cool atmosphere but I guess from all the reviews I kind of had a high expectation on the macaroni & beef dish that everyone raged about! I really liked the beef not so much that my macaroni was grilled and greasy. Customer service is so so but I think that's just because this place is really laid back! Probably not really a go to place for me but a simple lunch here is okay sometimes! Don't have too high of an expectation when you come! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning! It was too crowded. I ordered Nui Xao Bo and a Hu Tieu Nam Vang. It was okay, nothing special. The beef in the Nui Xao Bo was dry and too thick. The service was okay, our waitress seems pretty nice. read more

Nice coffee with banh mi or hu tieu. Love this place: home of VHOG on Sats from 10-12noon.

I think this place is awesome. Delicious food, good service, organic ingredients, and they are willing to accommodate those with food allergies. read more

I had a hu tiu Nam Vang and it is to die for. Broth is cooked without MSG and it tasted so good. I am foodie from Saigon and NYC so my taste is quite hard to please but you can't go wrong with hu tiu Nam Vang here read more

I ordered Pho Ap chao. Terrribly disappointed. It likes they soak the noodle with oil and put some beef on top of it and called it Pho Ap chao. I don't think they ever eat Pho Ap Chao. The dish costs 9.75. What a rip off. The coffee wasn't that good either. Sour taste. The music is good though. But many coffee shops play good music, offer good coffee, good food and good service. Never come back here again. read more

This restaurant hired careless waitresses. You can come in and sit for 10-15 minutes no body will come and serves you. Even it's not busy. It happens all the time, not just one time to me. In fact this morning 3 of us sat for 10 min, it's slow, but waitresses just never have a present of mind to see that. The owner who sat there also wouldn't see that read more

I've been hearing a lot about this place on my instagram. A few of them said that the Hu Tieu Nam Vang was really good so I'd looked up the place and told myself I have to try this place out! So, on my day off today... I've decided to take my best friend there to eat. We parked right in front of this place and all we saw were men. They were drinking coffee and smoking so I thought that it was some small typical vietnamese coffee shop that served food but until I saw a waitress bringing out food to one of the table I said, "oh, okay. Maybe it isn't". So I looked at my friend and she looked at me and asked if this was the right place; I looked up the address and said "we are here". We just shrugged it off and got out of the car and walked up to the restaurant and one of the waitress pointed to a table and told us to sit there and it was way in the back. But seriously, nothing but men there.. Maybe 2 women but that was it with the exception of 4-5 girl waitresses that were working there. Anyways, so we sat down and stared at each other for about 2 minutes because they never came over to give us a menu to look at and then FINALLY a girl came and asked us what we wanted. Well, we couldn't really order anything because we never had a menu to actually start with. I had to ask her for a menu and she just said oh and rolled her eyes and walked away. RUDE! Okay, so whatevers... we looked at the menu and there wasn't much to decide from so I stuck with the idea of coming to try the hu tieu and my friend the macaroni and filet minon. The food came out and we ate it. Looked pretty and all but the food wasn't as crazy as it looked. Macaroni were dry and it tasted like it was just tossed up in some ketchup (looked burnt) and added the filet on top. The hu tieu was a very small portion. It had like 3-4 pieces of meat and maybe a size of a palm noodles and lots of green onion. ALOT. Overall, the mission was a fail and I will not be coming back. I also wanted to add that when we asked for the check, the girl brought it over and stood there and watched us paid. Literally stood there with eyes on us and when we tipped, she grabbed it immediately and said "bye". She just couldn't wait for us to get out. read more
