    10/10, love that they don't skimp on the herbs and veggies

    Bread is super crusty and the ratio is not affected by shrinkflation. all you could want for a quick bite

    Grilled pork rice with rice, and the special yellow noodle (Mỳ Quảng). Peach tea and Thai tea
    Gem S.

    I was looking for food in the area and came across Comeback Cafe. The food was really good, and the drinks were even better. I tried the peach tea and it actually has real peach pieces, which was a nice surprise. Everything felt simple, fresh, and the place had a friendly, welcoming feel!!!

    Thai tea and House Vietnamese Coffee

    I've been meaning to try this place and i'm sad that i haven't tried this place sooner! The meat was so delicious and you can tell that they took time marinating it. The staff was so nice and friendly. Will definitely be coming back! Support local businesses!

    Tofu banh mi
    Ellie R.

    I got the tofu banh mi and it's INCREDIBLE!! Such a great balance of sweet, spicy, and acidic, and the texture of the tofu is fantastic. If I didn't know it was tofu, I wouldn't be able to tell! The service was so friendly and personable, and the shop itself is really cute with indoor and outdoor seating available. Already can't wait for my next visit!

    Chicken vermicelli with eggroll
    Ryan N.

    First, the store is really cozy gives off a nice and welcoming vibe. Family owned business so her recipes are all authentic. When I walked in I was greeted immediately with a warming smile asking "how can I help you". Food was made to order, always fresh. This vermicelli tasted really good has a lot of flavor, adding the nuoc mam really makes this dish explode with flavor. Reminded me of my grandma's cooking Definitely would recommend to try this family owned business out, they recently re opened with a new owner. Although the menu is limited there's a lot of great choices to choose from. Will definitely be coming back again!

    Shrimp Spring Roll and Beef banh mi

    Food was great. Visiting for work from SoCal, so lucky to find some comforting food while I'm out here.

    The beef & onion Banh Mi.  Excellent gateway sandwich for those new to Banh mi.
    Philippe D.

    It's my go to sandwich spot for lunch. IMO the sign of a good Banh mi is the baquette. If the place cares enough for the quality of the bread then you know the rest will follow. I've yet to try the other sandwiches they offer because my American taste palette is all about their beef and onion. Sweet and savory ribeye! After talking to the store owners and trying their Ube Vietnamese Iced Coffee I'm definitely encouraged to try the rest of the menu.

    Pork Sausge Banh Mi. Holy Smokes. Surprisingly a BANGER.
    Min L.

    Hidden Gem Alert. Viet Auntie vibes making your food. The Banh Mi bread is fresh and soft and the flavors are balanced and on point. Had no idea they have been here for a year. Come support your local banh mi spot, it's fire. Service is great too. Family vibes

After ordering at kiosks, it took about 20 minutes for our drinks. Good things come to those who wait! We ordered: Bubble Milk Tea, light sweetness, less ice Dong Ding Milk Tea, perfect sweetness, less ice Both teas had really good tea flavor. Bubble Milk Tea being more of a traditional black tea and Dong Ding being closer to a green tea. The Bubble Milk Tea had more cream, not sure if this was on purpose. For sweetness, light sweetness was good for me with boba. Perfect sweetness would be good without boba. Overall, the tea was fantastic. 90th+ percentile, but also on the pricier side. Each tea comes with a disposable cup carrier. The space is also really nice place to hang out - modern, spacious, and with a couple of interesting tea-related things to look at including a running video of tea harvesting and processing. As we were looking around, we noticed they have free tea tastings, but reservations look like they book out at least a few days in advance. Really impressed with this shop and will make a point to visit next time we're in the area.

The weather heats up there is nothing more essential to refresh by grabbing a beverage on ice. There are many places to grab something to clinch your thirst. Nothing is better on a sunny day as grabbing a bubble tea. There is a place which professionally provides all kinds of flavors of drinks from Taiwan and it's called Taiwan Professional Tea. On another Summer stroll in Telegraph I landed at Taiwan Professional Tea. Inside there is some seating and the party people order on a kiosk. They have lots of drinks not too sweet and some are sour like lemonade like some on my social media feed. They also have matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha . I got the Mango Passion Smoothie . It was not too sweet and it had lots of flavor and hit the spot . A good place to grab a drink rain or shine because the drinks are Type A ( Taipei). Last day of the month and it's "gone" now every social media feed for the end of July photo dump is what is going "on" but this place has tasty tea drinks which has a second name professional and first name "Taiwan" and they also have matcha for the "Don Juan" This place is the place during a heatwave is the answer and that is "unquestionable"they have drinks with fruits and not a "vegetable"when it comes to matcha leave it to the "professional" because Don Juan de la Matcha is nothing "correctable"

    Tried a few more drinks at Yi Fang:…read more Multi-floral honey mountain tea, 50 sweet no ice, large: The drink was done in about half the time that was estimated (Snackpass estimated 15 minutes, but it was done in 7). It was barely sweet, 50% is the lowest sweetness you can set for this drink. I was disappointed by this one as I felt the tea and floral flavors could've been stronger, it really just tasted of honey. Large chocoberry bliss, warm, 50 sweet (which was the recommended sweetness): It's a non caffeinated drink and can only be hot or warm. It tastes of dark chocolate with strawberry. It reminded me of hot chocolate but with a strawberry milk flavor, I liked it and would recommend trying it when it's in season if you enjoy sweets and chocolate in particular. Cheese creamer black tea, no ice, 0% sweetness, large cold: The tea is truly bitter when at 0% sweetness, which is what I intended. A generous thick amount of creamer on top. It doesn't mix easily with the tea. Note that on Snackpass, they add another $0.25 onto the price of your drink for "city cup fee" - referring to City of Berkeley's fee charged for plastic drink cups. I have found they're usually pretty fast at making the drinks and they may be done earlier than what Snackpass estimates. Sometimes you may need to get the attention of one of the workers as they can be occupied working and aren't always at the counter looking at you.

No sweetener such as condensed milk like I expected. As expected, there was absolutely no sweetness in the drink, just milky avocado slush. My husband got a house milk tea with boba, and it was extremely flavorless. Tasted really sweet, but you couldn't really taste the tea at all. Honey boba wasn't bad, not the worst we've tried. Overall, considering there are tons of other boba shops in Berkeley, we definitely will not be back.

Their strawberry matcha is also delicious, with a fresher, juicier strawberry flavor than a lot of other spots. I would honestly give this location 5 stars based on the drinks and regular barista interactions alone, but my last experience was really off-putting. I noticed that people often study there with laptops, so I came in with mine and brought a small lunch from Oori down the street to make a morning out of it. I've done this before without issue, but this time, a woman with crazy eyes who seemed to have a higher role came out and very abruptly scolded me, saying, "You CAN'T eat outside food here," while aggressively pointing toward the door as if I needed to leave immediately. I completely understand having a no-outside-food policy, and I would have had no problem following it if it had been communicated respectfully. But the way she approached me felt unnecessarily harsh and honestly pretty upsetting. I apologized right away, packed everything up in a panic, and left. After processing it, I realized how inappropriate the interaction felt for something that could have been addressed with a simple, polite reminder. Overall, Asha has great matcha, a cute space, and friendly baristas, but that experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. Just a heads up: the drinks are good, but you may want to be careful about bringing outside food in, because the policy might be enforced in a pretty unpleasant way.
