The banh mis here are on point... that's really all there is to say. They're a must order. I prefer the classic but the others are good as well! Super friendly folks, quick service too! read more

Lovely cozy place! Good Vietnamese sandwiches and coffee. I also quite like their ice creams. I only wish they would stay open later. I like to combine my lunch and dinner meals, as I travel a lot, and I've gone there a couple of times when they were closed by 4PM. OH WAIT! They are now open until 8PM? That's great. read more

Delicious. Come support this local Vietnamese spot. I loved the fish and noddle bowl. It wasn't too heavy and it's perfect for the warmer days. read more

I was in the area and randomly stumbled into this GEM! The owner was extremely welcoming and even gave me a few samples of nitro cold brew, espresso shots and I ordered their regular coffee. (I left the place with caffeine overdose) The nitro cold brew was delicious - like having a pint of Guinness. Espresso shots were super strong! For those that need a quick "wake me up" this is for you! Coffee tastes super fresh and the aroma was very pleasing as well. I will be back to try their bahn mi's and gelatos (made in house)!! PS - I thought their Murphy door for the bathroom was really cool. And the inside is super cute! read more

See all

I love the customer service here. Family operating small business serving delicious Vietnamese sandwiches, coffee drinks, and gelato. I'd highly recommend bringing your date , friends or family here. My favorite is the classic sandwich! Give it a try and it might turn into your favorite sandwich read more

Diem Eatery - Classic bahn mi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Decided to go to this Viet-based spot as we haven't been to many Viet places in the boroughs, and being Viet myself I was craving some sense of home. I walked through the door into a clean cafe and was accompanied by a warm smile from the owner welcoming us. We ordered the egg coffee, classic banh mi, and the turmeric fish dish. Things to note: - their pate is homemade and noticeably delicious - all their ingredients tasted fresh - egg coffee was decent, but the foam from it was fantastic Overall, we spent way longer there than expected because we had a good conversation with the owners and they were nice enough to offer us samples of their gelato. I plan to visit this place in the future when in this part of Brooklyn. (: read more

It's hard to imagine a more perfect sandwich than a well-made banh mi--and you won't find a better one than this.

This place spoils me. John, the owner and his wife Chi are super sweet. I love their egg coffee, the bun rice noodle bowls, papaya salad and vietnamese sandwiches are great (had the pork, and I turned the bartender across the road onto them and she had the tofu which she assured me is also excellent). Sandwiches are huge! I have a gluten sensitivity and they'll make them w/ gluten free bread for you if you bring some in, the portions are huge- the sandwiches are dinner and lunch the next day for me. Plus you can take them to the bar across the street, Marullos, and eat them there :) Word of warning- the kitchen closes at 7pm, even though they close at 8pm but you can order ahead and have food waiting for you to pick up, which is wonderful. They go above and beyond and have made me portable egg coffee so that I can have it for the next morning, in 2 seperate cups with full instructions. Who does this?!? So good. read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews but I must inform the public of the severe food poisoning I experienced after eating here that resulted in my hospitalization for 3 days (6-8 July 2023) and a full week of bed rest. I ate half of their chicken bàhn mi (because the taste wasn't great), and within 1-2 hours I was experiencing the worst food poisoning of my life. The aggressive bacteria drained my electrolytes and made me unable to stand, nearly fainting, and delirious. Luckily, my husband was able to take me to the hospital as I could not even dial 911 by myself. The doctors at NY-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital told us that the chicken from the bàhn mi was contaminated with Staph bacteria (Staphylococcus) which is typically a skin infection but can cause extremely severe food poisoning if ingested. I'm a young very healthy woman in my late 20s and this put me down for a week. I have now recovered but I'm deeply traumatized and will never be going to that place ever again. I'm sorry for the cafe to have to report this, but the reality is this is extremely dangerous and they need to asses their suppliers or food prep. I hope this helps avoid people experiencing what I did. read more

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. They have the tastiest food, the freshest ingredients and the nicest employees. I've mostly had the lunch options. An amazing neighborhood place! read more

Love this place. The owners are super awesome . The food is Excellent, and the place is absolutely beautiful...Joanne D.

So calming and soothing when you enter. Must be all the green and creams. But, the gelato.. yum! I'd sit in a hole in the wall just for the gelato. Banh mi was ok; get the gelato instead. read more

Skip the vendor lines at Brooklyn Bridge Park and head straight to Diem! This place has delicious Vietnamese fare, gelato, sorbet and even non-dairy ice cream! YUM!! The couple running Diem are so kind and sweet. The interiors are super clean and beautiful. read more

Great service, location and consistently good food. Get your fix of banh mi, noodles and sorbet. Extremely kid friendly, not overly crowded and offers free Wi-Fi. read more

I was so excited when this spot opened up in Brooklyn Heights as there aren't many authentic Vietnamese places in the neighborhood - have been here a few times already and every visit has been wonderful! My husband and I love the banh mis (classic and chicken are our faves) and the Vietnamese coffees (bold just the way we like it). We have yet to try the bun or the gelato, but will definitely be back to eat our way through the menu. The eatery is so warm and welcoming with the spacious seating and intriguing decor (including a decorative shelf that doubles as a hidden door to the powder room). The staff are also friendly and helpful! read more

Bahn mis were so fresh so delicious but if I could give the Gelato 100 stars I would. The vegan pistachio flavor was ::chefs kiss:: wish they had a Queens location! read more

I stopped by Diem Eatery on a great recommendation and was happy I did! I had the chicken banh mi and you could taste the freshness in the ingredients. Along with the viet espresso was a great mix for a great lunch. Of course I had to top it off with a scoop of their homemade gelato (both hazelnut and vanilla were amazing!). Staff was super friendly, and there was a really cool and clean bathroom hidden by a decorated wall. Very cool, it was a good day! Will be back!! read more

Such a neighborhood gem! This is always my go to spot on days that I don't feel like cooking but still want something fresh, healthy and affordable. The ingredients are always top notch. My go to is the pan fried beef bún, but I've tried practically every dish on their menu and they're all amazing. Also don't sleep on the gelato! It's absolutely delicious. read more

The sandwiches and bowls/salads here are very tasty! Cute local place. The service is VERY slow though. We also noticed a sticker placed on the wall at the entrance that portrayed a very biased message relating to the current conflict in Israel/Gaza, which was a turnoff and did not make us feel welcome. read more

Great banh mi! Fresh ingredients and generous portions. The bac siu coffee was also delicious.

The tofu bánh mi is delicious -- super-fresh and tasty. The team is very nice as well. Do not miss!

Fantastic quality food that's absolutely delicious. The green papaya salad is simply delicious and the noodle salads are awesome as well. The drinks are great and the gelato is yummy! Lovely space and super nice people are behind the counter. Thanks so much! read more

Absolutely yum! Popped in here today. Best lunch spot. Turmeric fish Bun! Get it, you will be happy!!

Oh. My. Gosh. The Pan Seared Beef dish was the best vermicelli salad I've ever had! They've taken the typical banh mi + adjacent menu to the absolute next level. Also AMAZING gelato. Make this place your next quick eats stop, no doubt. read more

Amazing food, served to you by a very kind and lovely team of people. I've tried everything here and it's all equally delicious. Made a yelp just to leave a review for here. read more

One of the best banh mi sandwiches I've ever had. Came in on a whim and had the tofu sandwich - the bread was so fresh and delicious, the jalapeño spread was full of flavor and the garnishes were perfect. My partner had the turmeric fish noodle bowl - freshly made, piping hot and very interesting with the dill. Both entrees were SO SO good. The reason for minus one star - which I would have preferred to give 4.5 - is that there is no option for a rice bowl instead of noodles. I think this would be an easy fix and a way to include those who are gluten free. Another recommendation would be a shrimp or fish banh mi. Either way, I would absolutely recommend this place and would highly recommend this neighborhood spot! read more

Their Vietnamese noodle salad is amazing. The ingredients are so fresh and healthy, I always feel great after eating it. The workers are super nice and their bahn mis and gelatos are super delicious too. I am definitely becoming a regular here. read more

I stumbled in without any expectation of the cuisine but seeing empty tables at lunchtime and an eager looking staff, I ventured in. Diem was the highlight of my day. Ordered the tumeric fish bun without really any idea of what might eventually finds its way to my table. I saw the chef chopping fresh herbs and cooking a fresh piece of fish for my modestly priced meal. While I waited I was offered some dynamite vegan gelato. Enjoyed a first class cup of Joe. I predict the tables will not be empty for long. read more

The viet coffee is really good. I've had it like 5 times. Now when I go they just know my order and they even brought it to the car for me. Parking sucks over there, so that was so helpful. read more

This is a place not to be missed. I've enjoyed their sandwiches their gelato. The mango gelato is not to be missed.They are definitely a step above. Everything made fresh in house. Definitely five stars. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. read more

Wish i could give a review on the Food, except i never got what i ordered. This past sunday(8.6.23) i walked in and ordered an ice coffee and chicken banh mi(please note) from the women at the counter. I pay and even tip. I get my ice coffee and was told the order will take a min. 30 mins later while everyone got their food, i have still not gotten my sandwich. I walk to the counter and asked the gentleman(the woman was gone) the status of my order. Two mins later i get my sandwich and notice it is the classic pate/pork. Not that i am strict kosher but i do not eat Pork. The gentleman at the counter told me that i should of checked the screen when i ordered before i paid in addition to telling me that the woman whom I ordered with finished her "Last shift" and was fired(obviously not because of my order). He refused to even offer to make the chicken Banh mi( i would of waited) and blamed me for the mis-order. And even when i said do not eat pork, gave me an attitude for no reason. In the end, i was refunded for my sandwich, despite the individual threatening to not refund me because "i was giving an attitude". I consider myself to be a patient customer and understand mistake do happen, being blamed by the counterperson really left a bad taste in my mouth(no pun intended) ***** Pic of the person https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/diem-eatery-brooklyn?select=iGvpsxf1dTf9IeaeRg-TQw read more

Had a very good pate Banh Mi from here a couple of weeks ago. Definitely higher quality ingredients than another Vietnamese sandwich shop nearby. Will have to come back for the other items. read more

I stopped by this delightful new eatery on Atlantic after months waiting anxiously for something new two blocks from home. I wasn't disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the menu has something for everyone. We tried the noodle salad and the Vietnamese sandwich and both were delicious. The selection of ice cream was beautiful. We will definitely come back for that. The ambiance is so simple and cozy. Other patrons were equally positive. It's a terrific place to hang out with a friend for coffee or lunch or for takeout. May it thrive!!! read more

Absolutely fabulous addition to the neighborhood dining scene! The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the service couldn't be more warm and welcoming. Great place to stop en route to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Love this place! read more
