The coffee came out fast and it was very good. The ambiance of this place is excellent. Perfect for a quiet study session, reading, or date. The food on the other hand.... wasn't very good. The wait took almost 30 minutes. And felt premade and microwaved. Which in the restaurant business and coffee shops is sure is common. But when you charge the prices they do and take as long as they did to make. I cannot rate it any higher. Would not come back for food.

Awesome place! Found it when I first moved here looking for local coffee shops…read more The coffee is great with many options, the fun ones/my faves being the culture coffee! They also rotate flavors through different seasons- I loved when they had the ube latte. The food is yummy; I liked the baja breakfast burrito & their baked goods are amazing! The atmosphere is unique with a rain forest type theme. I liked working in there though space is limited during the weekend.

The seasonal menu was purely AI generated imagery, their other signs as well. They have environmental focused branding, with the help of an environmental destruction tool (AI). All gender restrooms available and handicap parking (at least one spot) * Captain Mike was behind the bar, very kind, genuine and personable. He asked my name and referred to another guest by name. Upon entry with my service dog he did verify he was indeed a SD. He also was very attentive with recommendations and suggestions based on what he enjoyed and what would suit my preferences! * I got the cardamom lavender latte which was very delightful! The cardamom was very pleasant and I am appreciative of how well it shined through! I also got the "great smokey mountain" I think! Breakfast sandwich. To my personal taste for a simple breakfast sandwich it was a bit on the high side for price - around $11 but it does taste good! Options of croissant or ciabatta bread. Non dairy options are available! I personally am not inclined to return due to all of the ai generated content. Pangaea should invest and support local artists and creators and uplift the community surrounding them. They would likely get more support overall! I am an artist myself and could see so much potential in -ai branding! Thanks!

Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

I've been served cold foam ON TOP (as it says on the menu) of my drink with no issue before, and i didn't have to specify that it needs to be on top. this time, this cold foam is just mixed in with my drink. I watched one worker poorly rinse out the cold foam frother with water and poured more, with the blender STILL having RESIDUE. once again, no friendly customer service, rushed and poor quality drinks.

I've had Amy's Bánh Mì before when my wife brought it home and it was really good. The first time I had the roast pork banh mi but it was sitting so I had to warm it up and of course re-warmed up food isn't always the best but the flavors were there. The next time she brought home the egg rolls, and I was hooked! So yesterday I was in the area and I decided to go there for lunch. I tried calling twice to place my order ahead of time but no answer, no problem, I'll just order in person. The owners were very nice and welcoming. You can tell this place is authentic, we spoke about catering an event in the future, I definitely felt the hospitality. I ordered two orders of egg rolls, a roast pork banh mi and a matcha milk tea. It maybe took about 15-20 minutes for me to get my order... while I have no problem waiting for good food, I do expect it to be fresh if I'm waiting. Sadly this wasn't the case. I wanted to try this as soon as I got in the car. The egg rolls were crispy but look warm. The roast pork banh mi was not warm at all. The pork was roasted at one point but not at the time of my order. When you order roast pork it's for the crispy pork skin, the skin was crispy whenever it was made but not when it came to me. The meat was dry as if it had been sitting from the day(s) before. And the matcha... way too much matcha, it was very gritty and herbal. But I was hesitant to get that instead of my normal Thai tea so I knew I was taking a chance on that. In conclusion, I will be back because I know that this place can make amazing food. Both dishes I had, the flavors were on point but this day it just didn't hit like it should've. I've been to Eden center in Arlington, VA and had a roast pork banh mi before, I know what it should be and this wasn't the same. I've had their egg rolls before after they've sat and they were fresher than the ones I had after receiving my food five minutes ago, respectfully. I'm only spreading awareness to the owners and this is not to tear them down or defer anyone from trying out this establishment. No other Vietnamese restaurant in the area is offering the authenticity that they do. This was just my first personal observation, I encourage everyone to go give them a try!
