From the name and looks of this place I would've never guessed it was Vietnamese influenced. We walked by and decided to try it out. We discovered that they have a decent Vietnamese sandwich selection. Banh miiiii! I ordered the Asian chicken salad which delicious! The chicken was grilled and seasoned Vietnamese style. I definitely want to make this at home now! I also fell in love their peanut vinaigrette dressing. The Boyfriend ordered the mighty muffin and a cappuccino. Everything totaled under $20 with tip. To top it all off, they have sriracha and tapatio hot sauce! We're definitely making this a weekend hangout spot. They even allowed my little pup into the restaurant. I love how dog friendly Seattle is! read more

Amazing food & coffee. I got some Ruben's & coffee for myself and friends, we loved it!! Will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Yum!!!! Great bahn mi and even better Viet iced coffee!!!! Stopped by after having craved bahn mi and left soooo satisfied. I opted for the grilled pork, the worker had said this was their specialty. Delicious! read more

Really nice small coffee place. Really good sandwiches and nice customer service. I ordered the "everything Croissant" which it was delicious. read more

I've only tried the pork baguette aka Vietnamese sandwich here. It's good. And a pretty nice bargain. $4.25. It's a cheaper meals than most places in Belltown. I've been here 3 or 4 times. The first couple of times the owners were on Vacation and their mothers were running the joint. Very sweet ladies.The Chai tea they made me wasn't very good but I returned because they were so funny and so sweet. The owners were back today and i was a little sad.....lol. It's a super cute, clean, fairly spacious cafe although today it was PACKED so I took my baguette to go. They have a decent sized menu and from what I've tried I'm def. a fan! Also, all the people who come in seem to be regulars. Friendly people, easy to strike up conversations with. I like it. :-D read more

This is a cute little place to get a quick bite. I had the Vietnamese pork sandwich and the bread was to die for. Light and fluffy with just the right amount of chewy and crunch. Yum. The sandwich overall was tasty. I also had a coffee milkshake since it was super hot out. This was pretty good also. We sat outdoors because it was a lovely hot day, and they brought the food out. Worth stopping by for a quick affordable lunch. read more

Love dropping by this place for a leisurely banh mi brunch on Saturdays since it's within walking distance. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and it's an open kitchen so you can see the sandwiches being made and talk to the person making them. Prices are reasonable for the area. I recommend their tofu banh mi -- the tofu is well marinated and the flavor is a bit different than is usual for these types of sandwiches. read more

No issues, 6 years in business I guess that is enough to show the simple things work.

One of the best banh mi sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was fresh but crisp. Also, the pork was actual meat pieces and not grizzle or fat. I also tried the vietnamese coffee which was a bit strong for my liking but not bad at all; just personal preference. This restaurant is close to my job and serves breakfast and lunch. 10/10 would recommend! :) read more

I visit Seattle often and always enjoy stopping by here for breakfast or lunch. The food is always fresh and delicious. The owners, Anthony and Lilly, are super nice and always smiling. Would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Really delicious mom and pop Vietnamese sandwich stop in Seattle. The price was really good and the sandwich and Vietnamese coffee were out of this world. Satisfied my cravings! Inside this is a cute little spot with plants and window seating making it ideal for those dining alone as well as in a small group. I could see myself picking up a sandwich to go if I lived around the area. Staff was also very friendly and kind which is appreciated! I would frequent here if I lived in Seattle. Great food read more

My absolute favorite coffee and everything croissant. Fast and friendly service every time!

This café focuses on one thing. Great food. The place has a great spread of sandwiches to choose from. The staff/ owners are friendly. This is a small place, nothing fancy. Tried the Chicken Banh-mi and Vietnamese ice coffee. Loved both. Will be back soon to try more! read more

First time here and I couldn't be any happier with this little gem! My colleague and I were in town for business and we were in search of a cafe with free wifi along w/sandwiches to bring to an agency meeting. My vanilla latte was excellent! Good grade of coffee used to craft it! I ordered a lox bagel and that too was really good! We were also able to feed a team with an array of sandwiches and the 2 employees accommodated us without any problems. Keep in mind they were literally able to provide catering on the spot. They use really fresh ingredients here from their breads, veggies, meats, and coffee. Wish we had something like this in SF. Goes to show simple food can still be very delicious. read more

Artisan Cafe - Vanilla latte - on point! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Order a combo banhmi and club. Club was pretty good, but lacked favor. Banhmi was almost inedible, meat was dry and cold. The bread, was terrible. Most banhmi has a crusty outside texture and fluffy on the inside. This just tasted like it was old and dry and microwaved. read more

I absolutely love this cafe. The owners are so friendly and the sandwiches are amazing, especially the Chicken Bahn Mi. The bahn me is literally better than any other Vietnamese restaurant! The bread is always fresh, chicken moist, and flavor delish! It's my fav local lunch spot to grab a sandwich on the go. read more

Such a random find during our trip to Seattle (thanks Yelp). Tiny little market offering delicious banh mi sandwiches. I would eat here multiple times a week if I lived or worked close by. Not much else to say, we loved our tofu and combination sandwiches, and only wished that we had more time to come back and try more. The coffee was fine. You come here for the sandwiches. read more

Cozy Belltown cafe with banh mi, breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Friendly staff, excellent service. Free WiFi for a quick break. Somewhat limited seating but great to stop by for a tasty breakfast or lunch break! read more

This place is a gem. Cozy interior, intimate service. Affordable banh mi and I can't recall having any better ones, and I've lived in Houston and Dallas in addition to Seattle. They have all the coffee beverages you could want, including delicious ca phe sua da, and their other (american/non-viet style) sandwiches look good too. They even have rotating soups -- I had their gumbo which wasn't the best ever (I prefer seafood and this was chicken) but was welcome on a cold day. Keep going what you're doing! read more

Simple, casual and quick cafe that offers a French/Vietnamese favorite. Coming from SoCal and the epicenter of Vietnamese food, expectations are high. After deciding we didn't want typical breakfast food for breakfast, we stopped here on our brisk walk to visit the Space Needle (only a few blocks away). Double diamond banh mi had pork belly, pork patty, late and veggies in a baguette. What a light yet savory option! The lady got a salmon lox croissant which she thoroughly enjoyed with a bag of jalapeno chips. Vietnamese iced coffee made my morning! No frills, quaint cafe... But simplicity is just what you need sometimes! read more

I ordered the tofu bahn mi and it was delicious! I love a couple blocks away and walked here for lunch and place to work on my laptop. I enjoyed the music, staff is very friendly, prices are reasonably priced for this location. I would recommend this place to all and plan on coming here often! read more

Absolutely amazing mom&pop place :) the coffee and sandwiches are very decent. The place is very clean and the ladies provide amazing service. You feel like they were waiting the whole day - just for you read more

Our first breakfast in Seattle before heading to the Space Needle and Chihuly Glass Garden. Excellent, friendly service at the counter. We arrived at 9am and ordered two Americanos and an OJ with a pork banh mi sandwich, a breakfast sunshine wrap and breakfast classic croissant. All 3 sandwiches were delicious and so fresh! Thanks fellow Yelpers for telling us about this great corner place! Sorry no pics as we were so hungry we forgot! read more

Best breakfast burrito! It's like my mom would make it, but I can get it for lunch at work!! Real food is hard to find, but I guarantee you will find it here. They remember my name even after I was on Maternity leave for 6 months!!! What attentive owners :) read more

A cute, cozy cafe near space needle. Food and ambience was awesome !!! Would recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle :) read more

If you're in the area looking for a fantastic sandwich at a reasonable price, you absolutely should stop by. Ordered the Banh Mi with Grilled Pork. In my opinion, the bread is what makes these sandwiches great and the bread here did not disappoint. read more

Loved the banh mi here, so flavorful and with the right flavors. I've had banh mi in Boston, LA, SF, San Jose, Chicago, and Houston and this place ranks pretty highly. It's definitely more of a hip banh mi place though so the prices are close to $6-7. Either way, I enjoyed it and it was good enough for a lunch. read more

Strolled in here, intimate setting but cute. Little pricy. I think I got a white chocolate mocha. Cute cups! Lol. Wasn't too crazy about their limited tea selection. Service was nice and quick. Nothing to write home about by any means, but not bad either. Good place to stop by for a quick coffee drink. read more

Such an adorable little cafe. Stopped in here for a quick breakfast bite and coffee and both were great. I had an egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant as well as a latte and neither disappointed. Although it's a smaller shop with not too much space it's perfect for a fast bite when you're in a rush. Will have to come back again to try their Bahn Mi! read more

Let's cut to the chase: Their bacon/egg/cheese breakfast croissant is to die for. *end of chase* Deeper thoughts: Husband and wife run this place; Mom and Aunt (I think) recently covered for the purveyors whilst on a euro-vacay. The family-covers did a bang up job covering, plus the Mom/Aunt combo were absolute sweethearts and adorable. This is one of those places where it's clear that 'love' powers (to some extent) the deliciousness of the food and the success they enjoy. I wouldn't change a thing other than to suggest they stay on top of health department inspections, maybe lighten up on the use of the radiation box, and if expansion ideas come up, do their best to stay involved in each location. Final word: Give them a try if you haven't, you'll be delighted by both the food and the service! read more

Why get a $6 mediocre footlong from a chain restaurant when you could come here and get a fresh, flavorful chicken sandwich with thinly sliced carrots, cilantro all wrapped up in crusty french bread?! This banh mi (Called french bread sandwich on the menu) only costs 5$ and some change and is 100x better than the average sub sandwich. Different level altogether. I want to come back and try the pork banh mi! I take out the peppers because they're too hot for me. The sandwich is filling and chock full of flavor. Highly recommend! This airy corner cafe is walking distance from Seattle Center, the perfect lunch break from touring the museums. If you need an extra boost to get through a day of tourism, try their vietnamese iced coffee! read more

I don't give reviews. But this place deserves one. Baristas are SO nice always. They have the BEST specialty drinks!!! The pistachio latte I swear is to die for. And the baristas remember you!!! When I go every time they always already know my order!! I love this place read more

Visiting from out of town but damn, these banh mi are the truth! I had one with pork belly, pate, and homemade mayo: each component was well seasoned and cooked perfectly (like melt in your mouth pork belly). Baguette was light and fluffy as well. read more

A small place but very friendly staff who are very helpful and quick. We ordered a turkey sandwich, one of the best I have had in a long time, paired with some Tim's salt-n-vinegar chips with fresh brewed Stash unsweetened ice tea. I will be back to this little gem! read more

I decided to give this place another try after my first not so pleasant experience with an almost burned BGT. This time I tried the Vietnamese chicken sandwitch which seems to be the most popular item on the menu. This time I found the sandwitch pretty tasty and the bread was fresh and soft. I would recommend. Also I decided to dine in. It's a small and cozy cafe. On the negative side, the two available table at that moment were a bit dirty. read more

First time to this cafe. Was in the city for meetings and stopped in for a quick sandwich. Ordered the Roma Panini for myself and my wife. We both agree, quite possibly the best sandwich we have had. Delicious. read more

Lived above this place for several years and have always loved them! Nicest people who work there and they have the best banh mi in the city in my opinion. I now live in federal way and will drive up just to grab a couple of banh mi sandwiches. My favorite is the pork but you can't go wrong with any of them in there. read more

The staff was very friendly. I ordered the pork Bahn mi sandwich. The bread was fresh and toasted. It had a nice crunch on the outside and very soft on the inside. The pork was well seasoned and very tasty. The sauce was very good. I was disappointed by the vegetables. they were fresh but I could not taste any pickling. Overall it was an average bang mi because of the vegetables read more

I had to take a moment to write a review for this cafe. We were downtown and wanted a good sandwich and we found them here. My partner had the smoked salmon sandwich and I had the BLT. Great bread and ingredients. I was also appreciative of them making a simple grilled cheese sandwich for our 2 year old. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are near the Seattle Center or downtown try this place. read more

Im kicking myself for not coming here sooner, because moments after bringing my sandwich home I was messaging a friend the following: "OMG! My face is full of happiness right now.. aka bacon and gorgonzola on a sandwich!" I work from home and only get 30 min for my lunch break. Im starving cuz I skipped out on breakfast. My kitchen sink is broken so I don't want to cook and have dishes pile up, plus I had next to nothing to cook anyway. The nearby pizza place wont allow carryout for orders under $20, and everything else plausible would have just been junk food groddiness. Then I remember I am right by the Artisan Cafe -- and a sandwich should be quick and portable. I run across the street to a place that is small, bright and clean. Free wifi, tons of outlets, and a computer hooked up to a big ol'flatscreen LCD. One of the owners gives me a menu and it takes me all of 3 seconds to decide that I want the BGT -- the bacon, gorgonzola and tomato sandwich. How could I resist? I sit and wait, the owners make idle chit chat but being truly interested. They apologize for the time frame the sandwich takes (but so worth it cuz EVERY bit of it gets toasted!), and then they pack it up all pretty and send me on my way. The sandwich? Well it is amazing. Im planning on going back to try their grilled cheese and their caprese soon. And maybe a coffee... and maybe a frozen yogurt...or maybe a breakfast sandwich right now.... read more
