Ordered on line. Love the egg coffee! Got one for my daughter and she loved it too. Also ordered the banh mi and caprese sandwiches. Both were excellent in preparation and taste and ingredients. I like to say “it’s made with love”. You can tell they take pride in everything they prepare. We will definitely be returning!

A great place to catch some Vietnamese coffee. It was my first time here and I got the sea salt caramel coffee with boba. Their ambience is cozy and their service was great though there was only one barista. The barista was amazing though as the coffee was scrumptious. It was soothing and refreshing. Perfectly balanced between sweetness of the condensed milk and coffee flavor. After this I want to try more and I’ll be back soon.

The coffee is strong but comes out lukewarm and it's disappointing at least for me, I've ask to make it really ho t and still not hot at all. Drink gets cold very fast. The Bonh mihn sandwich is great. I really like their layout and decor but it really needs to make a difference in what other coffee shops are already doing. Wish them much success.

The food is superb. Their schnitzel sandwich (and even though my daughter asked them to remove every sauce and cheese from it) is perfect, crunchiness alone, seriously. I got fried chicken salad and add extra avocado and it was very delicious. Everything else we tried was also great, no complaints whatsoever on food. Simply delicious. The drinks were too sweet for my taste, but I understand it's the fashion these days. (I chose the less sweet option, but I don't know if there was a mistake with both drinks that they were regular sweet or the less sweet option was too sweet for us.) My only concern is the ordering. You have to use screens to order and even though the interface is well designed and easy to use, the old person on me wish to have a person to talk to. I'd definitely eat there again and suggest everyone to give a chance.

The Banh Mi is incredibly fresh and the bread they use is amazing. Overall all ingredients are high quality. I’ve tried a variety of the coffee and tea drinks and have not been disappointed. The kiosk and app make ordering super simple. Love this spot.
