such a cute and aesthetic store i brought two drinks and tipped a dollar and it was almost $16 bucks so it was a bit pricey and the drinks were not full to the rim but the drinks were good i got the guava green tea and the rice milk tea the guava was a bit sweet for my preference and it didnt have a sugar adjustment on the screen that i ordered from but it was still good and the rice milk tea i ordered less ice but it was the same amount of ice in my guava

I really enjoyed my visit here! The foams are creamy and pair perfectly with the drinks. The sweetness level is just right — not too much, not too little. Their Banh Mi and toppings are also delicious and full of flavor. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

The caramel viet coffee here is like no other, the coffee is rich and bold. I was recommended the strawberry matcha latte by a friend, and I'm glad I tried it because the ratio of the matcha and strawberry was perfect! Not only that but the pork chop over rice had to be the perfect lunch to pair with the two drinks I got. I suggest you visit

Second time visited. Not disappointed. Spacious place, I think they could use more tables and chairs for customers but at least not feeling compacted like other boba places. Bao buns are so delicious. Very unique sauce. 9/10 a must try Shrimp pop corn balls are very different from other places. Strawberry tea was so refreshing. Not too sweet and does taste like tea 9/10 Black milk tea was not milky, not watery, on point, carries good amount of black tea taste, not too sweet also 9/10 Trying hoagies next time.

I had the deluxe banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffee were both outstanding. My son had the grilled pork bahn mi and said it was awesome. Will definitely come back. Edit: as we were finishing lunch, the owner Alex came by to check on us and make sure we enjoyed everything. We appreciated the extra attentive service! One suggestion - I wish they had a few more dining tables for seating.

Stopped by after grabbing a cake from the Paris Baguette next door. We got a vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, strawberry green tea, and a Pork Ham Bahn mi to share. The drinks were honestly a bit too sweet for us (as a personal preference) so we waited for the ice to water it down. The bread for the bahn mi was different than what we’re used to. It was a soft and chewy with a light toast. Different from the traditional baguette where it scratches the roof of your mouth into oblivion. While the flavor of the bread falls a bit flat, I did enjoy the texture. The filling was also not bad. The paté and pork deli were flavorful enough to make up for the bread. Overall not a bad experience. Plus the interior was cutely decorated for Autumn with maple leaf decor. Big and spacious enough that with some more tables and chairs, they could rent out the space as a small party venue.
