A wonderful cafe located inside of a strip mall right off I-95 that serves some delicious Bahn Mi sandwiches. Their Bulgogi beef and pork Bahn Mi sandwiches were delicious and I would highly recommend them. They do have lots of milk bubble tea options. It was definitely on the sweeter side, so take note of ordering one of their sweeter drinks, one should ask for a sugar reduction. The staff are incredibly kind, the cafe is clean, and there is plenty of parking.
Just stumbled on this place. Not sure how long it's been open. The food is so fresh I had the chicken pesto sub and the Oreo shake. It was so incredibly good. You can tell the food is fresh because the taste of the vegetables were very juicy. The service is great, I was greeted with a smile. The ambience is clean, there are televisions playing K-pop videos. The bathrooms are clean. Definitely going to be my go to spot!
I will definitely be back to try other items on their menu. My beef Banh Mi and Thai tea was delicious. Staff is very friendly!
Cute little cafe in a small strip mall in front of a large chain store. We were on a road trip back home after a holiday with family and needed something that was healthier than fast food but was fast and something we could eat in the car. This little gem fit the bill. We had the beef and the pork bulgogi bahn mi sammies and we'e not disappointed. Very economical for a generous but not huge sandwich that had fresh veggies and good flavor. Staff was super friendly and the meal was ready for take out in short order. Would definitely try this place again on our way through. Bathrooms were clean too!
Oh this place hit the spot! Tried the Banh mi sandwich for the first time - I had chicken and husband had pork, and we both loved it! I loved the flavors so much that I had to look up how to make it online!! Got their infusion bubble tea - FRESH!!!!! Not like the other bubble teas with sugar and not so fresh brews. Impressed! And trust me I don't get impressed easily. And it's cute hangout spot.
Multiple trip on a business trip. Service: 4.5 Food: 4 Stars Cold drinks: 5 Stars Hot Drinks: 3.5 Stars Atmosphere: 4 Stars The sandwiches were a hit and the drinks are a favorite of my friends and their kids. They will drive 20 minutes out of their way to get them. I had the chai and a Banh Mi Sandwich, both were good and I did go back for more. Try them out.
I'm girl who loves bubble tea and great banh mi sandwiches. Unfortunately I did not have time to grab a banh mi to go due to classes. So this is first time I have been to the Merge cafe second location located next to the Walmart. I have been to the one on Quantico Marine Corps Base in Q-town. This location is located in a small shopping plaza in a corner. It has limited parking spots in this location. Let's talk about the cafe, it's small but cute inside. The cafe offers various sandwiches and bubble tea. So I was craving a bubble milk tea today, so I decided to make a trip to the merge cafe. I ordered the black milk tea with extra tapioca pearls. I was disappointed today, the black milk tea was abit too sweet to my liking and the tapioca pearls texture were really hard to chew. I might give this place another try, I think the Quantico Merge Cafe is better tho to be honest. Maybe I came in on a off day!
Stopped in to try a bulgogi sub and some boba teas. I ordered the Black Milk tea - which came with boba toppings. My partner ordered an ice chai latte. We split the bulgogi sub. We really like the ambiance of the place. It is very tranquil and a cute cafe to do dates, meetings, interviews, etc. The sub was very light, airy and a good snack. It tasted fresh - but it wasn't filling, mostly the bread. The Milk Black Tea was overly sweet - even with half sweetness. The Chai tea was the same way. I really like that a boba tea and korean cafe has made it's way to Stafford. I think they just need to work on the flavoring more for the teas. I'll probably swing back in when I'm down there for work in a few months to see if the flavors have improved. Overall - it's an OK place if you are looking for a new cafe to try. The food was fresh and light!
Decided to stop in here on a whim. It's a great little Vietnamese cafe but the menu has limited options. The atmosphere is cute and trendy. My partner and I ordered the banana boba tea and chai boba tea which were both delicious. We also ordered the bulgogi beef banh mi and the smoked ham classic sub. The bulgogi beef banh mi was very flavorful and moist. The ham sub was good as well but seemed to be lacking flavor. The bread was the highlight of both sandwiches. It was crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The service was great and we only waited about 5 minutes for our food to be ready. The price for 2 sandwiches and 2 boba tea was $30. A little expensive but you get high quality food. If you're looking for a great cozy spot for some delicious boba tea and banh mi sandwiches I would definitely recommend going here.
I order this sandwich without the jalapeños. The bread is so fresh. The ingredients are right on. Oh and absolutely no mayo.
Their prices are not correct online. Thought I had plenty of money with $30 to buy two sandwiches ($7.50x2=$15)and two drinks ($4x2=$8) but the price came out a bit higher than expected from their incorrect prices. I expected to pay $23, but it came out to $32. Make sure you don't expect their online pricing. All the receptionist said was sorry. Didn't really care that they didn't have accurate pricing online. The cook said they were still updating pricing online. Nice folks though.
It still surprises me a boba place exists in Stafford now and it's actually pretty good. I would've loved to have this type of place here growing up, so happy Asian food spots are appearing little by little here. I originally came here for some horchata boba. I saw they had butterfly flower tea options which are new here and since I periodically prepare butterfly flower tea myself, I was curious. I got thr Sunset to Midnight this time. My drink was prepared pretty quickly and the employee handed it carefully and kindly with a straw too, so I didn't have to grab one. The syrup comes off a little strong. That said, it still complements the mango and peach which are there in roughly equal portions; I did have to focus on on those flavors more but they're very much there. My immediate thought was that fresh mango would cut through the sweetness of the tea (and would probably mean less syrup) but buying fresh mangos in bulk is not cheap, especially if you have to consider profitability and people's often-limited knowledge of Asian flavors. The flavor-texture combo from the jelly offsets the flavors in the tea in such a way tapioca balls don't and overall add to the refreshing if overly sugary taste. But who gets boba if they don't at least want some sweetness? Perfectly refreshing for summer weather and summer is my favorite time of the year (weather-wise). Honestly, the only bad things are the limited parking and getting out (and sometimes into) the parking lot. If I'm back in the area, I'll get the Mood Cloud next if it's still on the menu.
Needed to satisfy my boba fix while visiting family in VA. This cafe was recommended by Yelp. Cute little shop in the same vicinity as Walmart. We decided to grab a few drinks to go and ordered a sandwich while waiting. The banh mi sandwich with Korean BBQ beef was okay, needs more of the pickled veggies but for the price ($8.95) it will do. The bubble teas were cheap (L $5.95). We got the coffee milk tea, peach black tea, strawberry milk fruit slush, and the black sugar milk tea. Drinks were okay, the boba was a little too mushy for my liking. Overall good service. Clean establishment. read more
This is the first time we have been here. The inside is decorated nice. They have tables with clear barriers in between the tables. They serve Korean sandwiches and boba teas. I ordered the Bulgati cheese melt which is a steak and cheese sandwich. My kids ordered the Banh mi sandwich. You can order them with Korean beef or pork. My daughter ordered it with chicken though. The sandwiches are very tasty with no grizzle. We really enjoyed them and will be back. . read more

I stopped in previously for a caffeinated beverage on a sleepy morning. I finally got around to trying their sandwiches today and was not disappointed. I tried their chicken pesto, and bulgogi bahn mi sandwiches. The beef was tasty, but a bit too sweet for me. I typically don't prefer beef bulgogi, so I wasn't shocked by this fact. I made sure that I got the chicken pesto as a backup plan, and I'm happy that I did. It was delicious. The inside of the place is like a cute carryout. The service was fast and friendly. I would return to try other things. 4 Stars read more

Authentic Vietnamese and Korean cuisine are rare finds in Stafford so was excited to see this restaurant. I had the grill chicken banh mi which was delicious in its own way but i would not call it a Vietnamese sandwich. The grill chicken isnt spiced like the typical Banh mi meats and the veggies are different (ie. no julienned carrots). Will need to go back to try the Korean sandwiches to see how those meats are prepared. Service was a bit slow (probably due to COViD related staff shortage) but the staff was very nice. The inside dining area is clean and spacious even with COVID spacing. Mens room was also very clean. read more
I was hesitating in coming in because the outside of the store didn't seem too welcoming but the minute you go in you can feel such a calm presence. Their best seller sandwich was a MUST a 10/10 sooooo good. Definitely coming here again!! Staff was friendly too. read more

The place was clean, service was fast and the staff were super friendly. DON'T hesitate. Just go! read more

First time at merge! It's pretty good. Nothing crazy but it's a decent restaurant. The menu only has two options: Banh Mi (a Vietnamese sandwich) or a cold sub. You can choose your protein. They have Korean bulgogi, grilled chicken and other choices. I got the grilled chicken banh mi. It took about 5 min to prepare. I got the jalapeños and spicy sriracha on the side. The sandwich was pretty good. I would've liked the French baguette to be crispier when I bit into it. I also ordered a taro milk tea with boba. The drink was extremely sweet, so much so that I couldn't finish it which is a shame because I really enjoy milk tea. The price isn't bad. It was $17 for a sandwich & milk tea. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover- especially with Merge Cafe. On the corner of a strip of shops, the outside hides the coziest cafe that is waiting inside. The taro milk tea with honey boba + the beef bahn mi we're both delicious read more
Best food and drinks ever! Very authentic and high quality. The drinks are beautiful. The taro and moon cloud are my favorite. Taro is similar to Ube. It is subtly sweet and the purple is gorgeous. I love how moon cloud tastes like lavender. They have the best banh mi that I've tried in the states. They have a lot of options for flavors and food. read more
