I was greeted with a warm welcome & I loved the interior design at this location, with how clean it was & a great playlist selection. I enjoyed it.

I had an unexpectedly late night & was feeling rough in the morning. Vietnamese is usually delicious & healthy, so I popped in here on an impulse. Should have checked the reviews first. The ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) was perhaps the worst I'd ever had. It tasted like it had been sitting in melting ice diluting all morning. It tasted neither like Vietnamese coffee nor condensed milk, just bad watery coffee. Since I was admittedly out of sorts, I don't want to be too harsh on the food. I can say that the meat in the bun thit nuong (pork cha) was surprisingly herbaceous - I'm guessing lemongrass. However, the dish as a whole didn't do anything for me. I actually picked around the noodles & just went for the pork & veggies. It's got a cute pastel-hipster aesthetic that will age quickly. It already feels a bit dirty in there. The service model is unclear - the baristas come out to take your order but otherwise hangout behind the bar. They don't check on your meal, & you walk to the til to pay.

Came here for a quick lunch since I was in the area. On first sight, it looked a little gentrified or even white washed, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the Banh Minh Chá, & absolutely adored the Jasmine Peach green iced tea. The atmosphere was delightful, with nice sunlight & cute decoration! Will be coming back :)
