    Beef Pho
    Jim M.

    The interior was clean and spacious. I ordered the beef pho and was surprised that it was served in a black plastic togo bowl. The broth wasn't hot enough for my liking, especially because it was a cold day. It took about 20 minutes for my order, which was the least of my complaints. Something to consider if you're in a time crunch.

    Beef pho & spring rolls

    La Cà Café is the sister restaurant to La Cà Bar in Tacoma, one of my favorite restaurants to frequent. The cafe definitely has a more laid back vibe, which makes sense because it caters more to the college scene with PLU nearby. The bar near 6th Ave is definitely more of a late night party spot, with a full bar upstairs and TouchTunes always blasting. I was in the area and was looking for a spot to work and take a couple of meetings and realized their new location had quietly opened and that I hadn't tried it yet! I went on a weekday around lunch time and there was probably only a handful of people that came and went during my couple hour stay. Serving style is definitely more casual than at their bar location, with the food (even for dine in) being served in to-go packaging. I went with their beef pho and an order of spring rolls. Their pho always hits the spot for me, but at the cafe the noodles were definitely more on the mushy side. The broth could've been hotter as well (maybe because of the plastic packaging?) The spring rolls were the same quality as I've had before which was good! The pho, even though not as stellar as I've had from them in the past, still hit the spot on a cold afternoon. I'm not in the area of Tacoma too often, but definitely would come back for more remote working sessions + lunch if I were.

    Thai Iced Tea

    This modern Vietnamese restaurant is located near the Pacific Lutheran University campus, so it is designed to be a fast-casual type of eatery. It was not busy at all when my sister and I stopped by. We were almost hesitant about coming in because we couldn't tell if they were open since this place opened recently from what it looks like. We ordered the spring rolls with shrimp and pork to share between us. Then, we each got our own grilled chicken rice bowl. My sister also ordered a Thai iced tea. Overall, the food was good. I thought it was interesting that the rice bowl was served with kimchi since that isn't traditionally a Vietnamese side dish. The pricing for the food a bit more expensive when comparing it to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant.

    We were staying in Lakewood and needed a good spot to go for lunch that had outdoor seating for Gino the dog. Was happy to find this great Vietnamese spot with one of the best Tofu Bahn Mi's I've ever had!! The tofu was unbelievably flavorful and all the ingredients were super fresh. Husband got the grilled pork and a Vietnamese coffee, both of which were excellent. Staff was very kind and friendly, immediately felt welcomed. It's a casual spot, great for lunch. Would highly recommend!!

    We stopped in on Saturday afternoon while our daughter was at a P.L.U. soccer camp, and WOW! We had a tastebud treat!! The young man who took our order suggested the pork over the chicken, and we are so glad we choose to go with that recommendation! While it took about 15 minutes, the food was hot and the ingredients were fresh, crisp, and full of flavor! We were almost the only people in the restaurant, so it was pretty quiet. There was a tv on, but it wasn't loud at all. If our daughter chooses to attend P.L.U., this would definitely be someplace we would visit often!

    Clean, nice selection and great service.

    Very clean. Great ambiance with a fantastic menu. Not sure why the Banh mi was made using toaster oven up front. Took a really long time and was decent-not great. Iced coffee was excellent. Service was exceptional.

    Food was okay, the grilled pork was better than the cold cut. $10.50 for a banh mi is a little crazy but everything is expensive now a days. I was able to use bogo coupon so I can't complain. Very cute and clean interior would be a fun/cozy hangout spot. Service was great very kind people working here. You should definitely try this place out if you're around the area. i'm kinda interested in trying the pho and seeing how it tastes next.

    Service is bad. The cashier was not friendly at all. The Vietnamese coffee tasted like regular black coffee.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but after multiple experiences, I feel I need to share this. I…read morecontinue coming here mainly because it's close to my husband's work and the breakfast sandwiches are good--but unfortunately, the customer service is consistently poor. Nearly every visit, the employees come across as rude, unfriendly, and give the bare minimum in terms of service. Today was the final straw. I ordered a white chocolate mocha, but was handed a regular mocha instead. When I politely said I had ordered a white chocolate mocha, the employee immediately responded with attitude. I handed the drink back and said I didn't want that one, and she asked--again with attitude--if I wanted it remade. When I said yes, she rudely told me that "next time you need to say white chocolate mocha." I responded that I believed I had, and she insisted I didn't. There was no reason for the hostility over a simple drink correction. Customer mistakes happen, employee mistakes happen--but basic kindness and professionalism should still be expected. The food may be good, but the repeated poor treatment from staff makes the experience unpleasant. Management seriously needs to address customer service training or reconsider staffing, because friendly service goes a long way.

Please do yourself a favor and order it. I also super appreciate how speedy the service is! Definitely becoming a weekly stop.
