This may be the headquarters of Brandywine Coffee Roasters (part of the same business as Brew HaHa…read morecoffee) but they do not sell a wide range of Brandywine Coffee and the coffee that they serve in the cafe is under the label BrewHaHa. The coffee was fine, staff was friendly, and the space was very comfortable with plenty of seating and tables. As a roaster, Brandywine is amazing. I have ordered their beans many times for me pretty much all home brewing methods (hario, kalita, immersion, batch, and espresso). I am always impressed by the quality of their coffee, their wide range of offerings, and their artwork. But, if you are hoping to visit one of the best roasters in the country and try a variety of different coffees, this is not the place for you. No pour overs, and the espresso and drip coffee were only so-so. Beats Starbucks, Dunkin, and a lot of other coffee shops, but not a worthwhile detour/destination. The 4 stars is for the cafe experience. As a roaster, Brandywine is undoubtedly 5/5!

With coffee, you either "know" or you don't. By that, I mean, there are two types of coffee…read moreconsumers: Those that will drink anything categorized as coffee and those who are habitués. Coffee addic...I mean aficionados seek out the purest form of caffeine delivery in the spectrum of taste. Spending lots of money on single origin coffee, fancy grinders, and the like is not to get any enhanced caffeine high but it is to unlock discernible flavor profiles. Ask anyone who is familiar with single origin coffee and they probably could taste test a blind pour over and tell which region of Earth from which the fruit originates. Anyway, that aside, where is there to go with coffee purchasing beyond taste? Well, that's where the importance of who exactly is roasting and selling comes into play. Brandywine Coffee Roasters is a perfect example of blending art and taste. The art-part is standout here. I haven't really felt the need to save a coffee bag before and consider hanging on a wall, but it's easy to see why one might want to with the artwork of Todd Purse (local Delaware artist and resident screenprinter). I did some digging and Brandywine roasters actually started as BrewHaHa! and others in the 90s. It and has been around in its current form since 2015. I really enjoyed the bags; they apparently are all done in-house in a printing shop and are hand-printed. Besides the artwork, each bag has traceable detailed information about the coffee within and a wax seal. You can see how cool the artwork is; I picked up a few bags for Halloween. The coffee itself was on par with any other high quality small roaster; the roast is light to medium with a good smooth flavor profile that was mildly fruity but more subtle that I was expecting given the artwork (maybe next time I shouldn't look at horror movie inspired knife while tasting). Highly recommended, especially if you have a coffee lover and need a thoughtful gift.

The workers were super friendly, I asked for a recommendation since it was my first time and they were spot on! They recommended me the Strawberry Daifuku /日式草莓大福 (I believe number F3) and it was the best drink ever! They even let me have the hello kitty cup when I asked which is the cutest cup ever! I would go back for the cup alone. My mistake, I did not ask them to make it lactose free for me when ordering, and they were so quick with making the drink that by the time I was going to ask them to make it lactose free they were finished making my drink! but, I had asked them to remake it, which was not an issue! I still am thinking about that, and I apologize ‍ . The drink was so so yummy and I cant wait to go back to Hung Vuong so I can have it again! Thank you so much for the wonderful service!

WOW! Incredible ice cream! This was my second time going. The first time I got a brownie sundae and…read moreit was amazing! The brownie was decadent, warm, and a nice size. I waited at one window and the clerk saw me but waited until someone else came at another window to wait on them. I asked her why she did that and she said that people normally order from that window. I asked her how I would know because there are 3 of them with no signs directing you where to order. Tip: Order from the end window, with your back against Pulaski Highway. Today I got a "Regular Waffle Cone" with 3 scoops: Horchata (incredible!), caramel cheesecake (blah, tasted like vanilla, what caramel?), and peanut butter puddles (very good). There was only one person working each time I went. They take each order, ring them up, make it, and move on to the next. It's a lot for one person. Business seems good, for good reason. While service definitely has room for improvement, the ice cream itself merits 5 stars! When I am in the area it will be a regular stop. NOTE: This review was from 2 years ago.
