    Coco coffee avocado
    Jonathan Y.

    Tried this place for the first time and was very pleased. The jasmine tea has such a strong tea flavor. It's absolutely delicious. Pretty good drink portion for the price and also the coffee avocado was so good better than I've had at other places you actually see avocado purée. This might be our new go to Boba place. Also, the workers are so friendly

    Not really enough flavor, could add a bit more meat and veggies. A bit pricey and quality of food is mediocre per our preference, had to go up to and for extra veggies and soy sauce and sriracha. Ordered fresh taro smoothie and it was good just too sweet so requested extra Ice and they offered to blend it in for us. Nextdoor to a cute bakery and overall very nice area to chill and grab food to go, it's very small inside so not a lot of space to sit.

    Their menu!

    I tried their ube coffee and their size cup is much larger than other Vietnamese cafes I've tried before! It had a good ube flavor and the strength of the coffee was what I needed to stay up! I haven't had a chance to try their sandwiches, but I can't wait to return to try other drinks and their food items soon! The girl who rang me up was nice and professional. Place doesn't have a large dining area, but there is enough seatings to hang out at. Highly recommend their Vietnamese coffee here!

    Environment: it was a small area and they share the same space as I think the Mediterranean restaurant on the other side. Staff: friendly Food: I got the grilled pork banh mi. The bread was nice and crispy but the pork part was so so in my opinion. The flavors were on the sweeter side, it didn't taste grilled, and there was a lot of fat so maybe they used pork belly but it got heavy and oily quite quickly for me. The price is also more expensive than other places- I guess it's because of the location since Bethany is fancier. It was okay and worth trying once.

    Coconut milk matcha, coconut smoothie, egg coffee
    Lauren F.

    Great drinks We went here after going next door to check out Buttercoop Bakery's grand opening. We didn't order at food because we enjoyed treats from Buttercoop, but we enjoyed their drinks. One coco milk matcha, one coconut smoothie, and one egg coffee. All delicious! I'm a big lover of matcha, so I really enjoyed the drink being less sweet and more bitter. You can always adjust the level of sweetness for your drink too. One thing I liked about this place is the amount of variety on their menu. They have all sorts of coconut milk and coconut juice smoothies and milk teas, it made it hard for me to choose. Guess I'll have to come back! If you're allergic to dairy, their coconut drinks are an excellent option without sacrificing quality and taste.

    I had heard about this from some of my friends and had to go and see what they were excited about. Food-Ordered a sandwich and a fruit tea with lychee jelly. Perfect combo on a hot sunny day. The sandwich bread was fresh and flavorful. The tea with perfect balance of sweetness was refreshing. Service-Friendly greeting and order came out quickly. Ambiance-It's small and it shares a space with a Greek restaurant. Two tables and a long eating bar. Not really a spot to hang out unless it's for a quick bite. Glad I tried it.

    Vietnamese coffee, rose matcha and labubu topping
    Binh T.

    I gave this place a couple try but I think my expectations were always higher than what delivered. I was excited to try banh mi and Vietnamese coffee the first time when it was first opened and both were just ok. There wasn't much of a special touch to the coffee that I would come back. Banh mi was just ok as well. We stopped by for another visit recently because I wanted to get the labubu topping as advertised. A little disappointed they just made a plain white color, no additional of distinguish for a more detailed labubu looking. ( I did get a labubu topping at a bubble tea place in Canada and it was a lot better). Rose matcha was not bad.. We don't live nearby this store and I only wanted to come check out and support asian owned restaurants/ boba shops. I wouldn't make a drive far out to come back for future visits. However, If you live nearby the store, please come checkout and give it a try.

    Their coco coffee avocado was good but came with lots of ice.
    Yuli L.

    We came for the avocado coffee and it was pretty good. There was a lot of ice in the drink so unfortunately it didn't last that long. We also got two sandwiches, M2 (pork loaf/pate) and M4 (grill pork). My husband liked his grilled pork sandwich, but I found the marinade a bit too sweet for me. At the same time, I found my pork loaf and pate sandwich a bit bland. I wish there was more pate to moisten and flavor the sandwich a bit more. The service was also alright. The staff took our order without engaging any conversation. Which is totally fine, we just didn't get to know the staff and/or establish any connection. Overall, I wish I liked Bamiti more as we were excited to see another Banh Mi place in the area. I think I will stick to my favorite Banh Mi restaurant in my area though.

    I ordered tofu and got tofu. Lacking on vegetables. More bread than sandwich.

    The sandwich really didn't have much filling in it. I work in restaurants, I understand the cost of everything is high, but I'd rather you charge more and make a good sandwich. What bothers me even more is that I don't do reviews and here I am writing one now. This felt like a money grab and that's disappointing.

    Egg Coffee
    Johnny L.

    The Best Banh Mi in Portland is here! Got pate in it, make it legit along with thick traditional cold cuts and pickled vegetables and egg cream.. to go with that Coffee.. both Ube and Egg Coffees were really good.. not too sweet to complement the strongness Restaurant shares restroom and space with Mediterranean next door Good Service and prices are just right Casual cafe type ambiance with not too much seating Pho was decent as it had a unique and clean non-fatty broth but meat a bit tough

    Banh mi dac biet
    Kim L.

    There's a medley of things that have to be right to make a banh mi and for Bamiti it's the bread. It is light, airy, soft yet crunch and super fresh. I could eat these baguettes alone. The filling of the dac biet was okay. I think they could load up on pate or add something with a little more saltiness. I would also prefer French butter over mayo. As a Viet who's eaten many banh mi's I have my preferences but it doesn't take away that bamiti has delicious banh mi's. I also highly recommend the avocado espresso. So good.

    We came here during the soft opening. I prefer to dine-in for pho because it's just better when cooked and served fresh and you're using real ceramic bowls and chopsticks. Unfortunately, this place seems more geared towards take-out, probably because there is very little seating. Luckily, the pho was served in a non-plastic bowl, and we got metal spoons, but everything else from the cups to chopsticks were disposable. The pho itself was fine, but nothing stood out as exceptional.

    Egg coffee
    Charlie T.

    I was looking forward to trying this place out for the drinks, banh mi, and pho. Maybe we came here on an off day, but the pho was a bit salty and the noodles were over cooked for us. The egg coffee, was pretty good and strong. The interior is pretty small and shares space with another restaurant.

The pho broth was already pretty salty when it arrived, but somehow managed to become even saltier overnight. By breakfast the next morning, I was pretty sure it could have been used to preserve historical artifacts. The salad rolls were packed with tofu, which I appreciated, but whatever marinade was used had enough sodium that my old horse Mika probably would've mistaken it for a salt lick. To be fair, my Pescatarian mom and Omni husband both enjoyed their shrimp rolls, so not everything was a miss. Overall, the food was edible and filling, but the heavy hand with the salt kept me from fully enjoying it.
