We're not sure what it was, it could have been the morning bun so I asked a barista. The pastries have some allergen information in the placards but when I get an allergic reaction, I want to make sure and ask. They looked through the ingredients list/binder and they couldn't find the ingredients for the morning bun. Luckily, my husband and my allergies are pretty mild, but this seems pretty dangerous. If you have any kind of allergy, I don't think this is the place for you.

They have a cloud coffee menu and a typical Vietnamese coffee menu, but I was looking forward to their coffee flight! I had seen it on Instagram, and decided that was what we were trying. For $12, you get to choose three of the coffee drinks you wanted. They come in their proper espresso shot sizes, and they are strong! We decided to try their pandan, latte, and black sesame. As stated, these drinks are strong and their flavors or cloud tops aren't overpowering. The cups they come in are super cute and have a Vespa on it! We also ordered their mango sticky rice Croffle and a banana cream Croffle. It's very cheap and worth the price! For $7, you get a super hot Croffle with delicious toppings. My fiancé loved their mango sticky rice - very authentic. I loved their bananas especially since it was caramelized The service was quick, too, being that they only had one worker! It was definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend it for coffee!

This might be one of the *worst* coffee experiences I've ever had. For context, my favorite coffee…read moreis vietnamese coffee, I've been to Vietnam more than once and have had their coffee all over, in different styles, and I have drank it most of my life (backed by validated opinions from Vietnamese friends and family) so I feel like I have a pretty good handle on what is considered good, strong, and/or quality coffee, especially for this type. From the moment we entered, it brought me back to Vietnam (one of the more modern shops) - it looked so promising. It was really cute, and pictures of the drinks looked nice (all presented very well in glass tumblers, platters, and more), so I was really excited to try their coffee. I should've trusted the mediocre reviews I'd read instead of my eyes. I ordered at the counter, to which I was asked if I wanted dine in (they had glass cups) vs to-go cups, and we opted for dine-in. Took us a while to find a table for 4 but finally we got it and planned to drink our coffee and soak in the vibes. We had gotten a physical order number stand for the table. 15 or so minutes later I saw some drinks on the counter, but they were in to-go cups so I assumed they weren't ours. Finally after 30-40 min later, someone brought the drinks to our table. Not even an apology or mention of how late it was. It was a busy day so I understood that it took a while, but my hot coffee was no longer hot (at all). The ice had melted into both the cold drinks - one friend said her drink wasn't very strong, but drinkable (her first time trying vietnamese coffee), and the other friend said hers tasted like water (and she has had vietnamese coffee many times before). I pointed out the drinks had sat on the counter for that long and were no longer fresh *and* they weren't in glass cups - they said they had run out of glasses (didn't bother to tell us) - but since drinks weren't to temp, they remade 2 of the 3 drinks (since friend #1 didnt care). It took another 20 min. We weren't in a huge rush but were celebrating 2 birthdays in our group of 4, with more plans ahead, and had only planned about 20-30 min for our coffee stop since we had to go back to our hotel to pack up and wanted to rest a bit before checkout - but we were running so behind we didn't have time for rest and started to become in a rush which ruined the rest of our morning. After 20 min, I finally got my hot egg coffee, and it was complete liquid on top. Not how an egg coffee should be, and it didn't have any egg flavor like it should. The waiter said maybe the egg melted due to the hot coffee (um, egg is protein, it doesnt just melt?? and it should be thick and sit on top, not dissolve straight into the drink... hence egg "top") and she also said egg should be flavorless (but also wrong, because quality egg foam should have an eggy flavor). Also the coffee again wasn't even hot, it was vaguely warm. It didnt taste good and was not a proper egg coffee - but the waitress, after giving the excuses why the egg top was like that, said "well what do you want me to do? the cold one wouldve probably been better" (clearly starting to get annoyed). I had already paid and waited that long so I just asked for it to be remade cold since thats what she had suggested for the egg top to not "melt." Another 10-15 min goes by and finally I have my coffee. It was just as horrible, watery, flavorless and incorrectly made as the hot version. Of course I just took this since we needed to leave and just gave up since I wasnt going to get it remade again (which by the way I practically NEVER ask for remakes but this was too pricey and I really needed a coffee that morning, and it was only bc it was so, so bad AND she offered for them to remake it), but ultimately I couldn't drink it so it got tossed and I didn't have more time to get any caffeine that morning. Friend number 2 said her remade coffee was still really weak and didn't like hers either - she ended up buying a coffee somewhere else to add to hers later in the day as she also didnt finish hers that morning (even more disappointed as that was part of her birthday celebration and she loves vietnamese coffee). Moral of the story is... bad service. Bad coffee (at least how it was made, cant even tell the quality of the actual beans since it was so weak). They don't know how to make egg coffee at all (and sadly that was what I was most excited for since not many places offer it). But cute spot, for the vibes. Parking can be hard if busy. They sell vietnamese coffee beans (which is another perk if you like to buy specifically these beans like me) but they don't let you smell or taste any of it, no samples, so not sure how you're supposed to be able to tell if you want it unless you buy like a drip or espresso made there? Also they sell food and that looked good but after that experience my friends and I definitely would not come back. Come at your own discretion.

We ordered at the counter - my friend got a turkey bagel with iced coffee and I got the tuna melt with tomato soup with black coffee. As things were prepared, the server brought it to our table and was very polite. The ambience is a mix of café and bistro, everything was super comfortable. The music in the background was not too loud. Everything was inviting. The food genuinely surprised me - my friend's bagel sandwich came drizzled with a balsamic glaze and was pretty comprehensive - the turkey included cheese and avocado and sprouts and was well above and beyond what you would expect from a turkey bagel sandwich. My tomato soup appeared to have been made in house which surprised me. And the tuna sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. It was dark tuna but not that shitty cheap dark stuff, but the actual dark tuna that you want if you're trying to provide an elevated flavorful experience. We did not order from the dessert case, but oh my God it is ridiculously overwhelming in terms of the offering. I almost wanna go back and just graze on desserts. The location is a little weird and kinda out-of-the-way for me but if I'm in that part of town again, I will definitely be making a stop.
