In long We have a lot of appointments each week that leave me with time to spend as I choose; getting a cup of coffee in the morning and trying a new place is fun. And here I go again with more top marks after one visit. They're in one of the smaller huts and they're right next to one of the busier 2-lane stretches you can find around here. Ferry traffic and bedroom-community commuters must flood by here. I pulled in around lunchtime and they still have a customer on the other side--2 baristas, 2 windows. The kid who helped me just radiated warmth and kindness. She's a natural for talking to people. She leaned down and worked herself around in the window to make sure she was seeing and hearing me. There's only so much you can do in a coffee hut to seem super nice and thoughtful, and most people go the super-caffeinated, extra-vivacious route. I dug the change of pace here. Hippie warmth and community vibes, without all the moonbeam sparkles. Anyway, the Americano was just great. Maybe one or two ticks toward the roastier side that so many people love so much, but still in my wheelhouse. Under $5, which seems the standard. It was ready in two shakes of a lamb's tail and I was on my way down to the lighthouse to stare at the misty waters.

Pho Café -- Comforting Vietnamese Flavors Done Right Rating: (5/5) Pho Café delivers exactly what a great neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant should: a deeply comforting bowl of pho, generous portions, and warm hospitality that makes you want to return again and again. Sometimes simplicity executed well is all you need -- and this place understands that perfectly. Ambiance - 4/5 The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and welcoming -- the kind of spot where you can comfortably enjoy a quiet lunch or dinner without distraction. It's unpretentious and focused on what matters most: the food. Authenticity - 5/5 The pho here feels rooted in tradition. From the aromatic broth to the balanced toppings and noodle texture, the restaurant captures the essence of authentic Vietnamese comfort food without trying to overly modernize or commercialize the experience. Flavor - 5/5 The broth is the true standout -- rich, savory, and layered with flavor without becoming overly salty. You can taste the hours of simmering behind it. The meat portions were also generous and satisfying, making each bowl feel hearty and complete rather than skimpy or rushed. Service - 5/5 Service was warm and attentive throughout the meal. The staff carried themselves with a genuinely positive attitude, creating an inviting experience that matched the comforting nature of the food itself. Cost - 5/5 For the quality of the broth, the generous meat portions, and the level of hospitality, the value here is excellent. It's the kind of restaurant that leaves you feeling both satisfied and well taken care of. Final Thoughts Pho Café may not rely on flashy presentation or trendy gimmicks, but it succeeds where it matters most: authentic flavor, comforting execution, and heartfelt service. A well-deserved 5-star experience and an easy recommendation for anyone craving a proper bowl of pho. read more

I had a delightful experience at PHO Café. Despite its cozy size, I was promptly seated, and the service was remarkably attentive and pleasant. The egg rolls were a highlight--fresh and delicious. The pho surpassed my expectations; its flavors were exceptional, requiring no additional hoisin or chili sauce. Learning from the owner, a pharmacist passionate about crafting fantastic pho, that they had only been open four days was a pleasant surprise. I appreciate the dedication to quality and will undoubtedly be back for more. I highly recommend it for an exquisite dining experience. read more

I was a huge fan and good customer here. Today I ordered the fried pork rolls, in the past they had been great, today they were served cold, not even warm. I returned them, only to have the same cold rolls served to me again. I was very disappointed, I'm very conflicted, as I usually love the food here, and the people working here are very nice. Not many options for Vietnamese in this area, I guess we'll see how things go from here. read more

Order was to go(we were the only ones there), they told us 5 to 10 minutes. I sat there and waited around 25 minutes was the actual time. I heard the microwave being used in the back more than once while I was waiting, which mildly concerned me. I saw him put a few things in the bag and one of them looked like a bunch of celery from a distance and assumed it wasn't my order. It was. I got out to the car, we examined the order. We ordered pot stickers, egg rolls and spring rolls. Pot stickers present. The other one was either spring rolls or egg-rolls and the last thing was what I assume was the fresh rolls. Normally I would go back and let them know, but I wasn't sure how long I would be waiting. Pot stickers were alright, the spring/eggrolls definitely do not come even remotely close to Pho Hungs. Spring roll my wife usually loves, but this particular one was way off. We tried it hoping to match the old place, unfortunately I don't think we will give this one another shot.
