A small, compact parking lot shared with other businesses and an even more compact interior with few seats partially characterize this Vietnamese cafe with a bunch of tasty items especially banh mi sandwiches. I got here on a Friday around 5:20pm, thoughI'm not sure why I decided to drive so far off Seattle. As mentioned, there's only a few tables for seats spread around the corners of the inside, with a small fish tank and a grassy backdrop on the left-hand side of the wall. The menu is lined up on the right-hand side and features all of the items, though their matcha drinks menu is located above the front counter, along with their new items. Staff at the front take your order and bring your food to you when it's ready. For their food I got the following: - Banana pudding matcha: I couldn't tell this was ceremonial matcha till I put my straw farther down the drink past the thick banana pudding layer, and sipped in all those grassy, earthy tones matcha is known for. I got to eat some part of the banana pudding - which has cracker bits that are lighter in color than Biscoff crackers but tasted like them - before stirring a small part of it to finish off this awesome drink that could give places like Phe a run for their money. - Eden Garden special: this is a relatively simple banh mi sandwich with Vietnamese ham and slightly scrambled - and very hot - eggs along with the usual banh mi condiments like jalapenos and julienned carrots. I probably wanted even more protein in this despite the ham and eggs already being that; the banh mi felt like it was missing something. Bread isn't crispy by any means but it is served very warm, therefore it was really easy to chew. It oddly didn't make to much of a mess when I took big bites off it; most of the mess came from some of the condiments - especially the eggs - falling off. Overall I loved this place a lot with the matcha and banh mi I got here! It's quite out the way of Seattle but lately some interesting hidden gems with better taste profiles have not been in the heart of this state, like this place for instance. I hope this place can last for a long time, and I'll be back for their other items! read more

Cleanliness and service has improved. I was greeted kindly by the friendly woman working who even brought my drink and food to me. Before payment she even reminds you and asks you if you have your drink punch card. I saw a young male employee bring out drinks to a couple and asked how they were doing which was nice. All smiles and clean atmosphere this visit. Drink and food is yummy like usual. I finally tried the fish sauce chicken wings which were large and my favorite part was the crunch. Perfectly crispy and tasty sauce. Not too much or too little sauce. Great wings. I tried the Banana Pudding Matcha and it was delicious. Very satisfied. The parking lot is small and a bit tight but I never have a problem finding a spot or getting in. Good location. I will be back. I recommend the Banh Mi Pho, Avocado Smoothie, and Thai Green Milk Tea. I look forward to trying the egg cloud coffee and beef ragu next visits. read more

Great hidden gem for drinks and casual Vietnamese food. We stopped by after a couple hours bowling across the street. It's a pretty small cafe with limited amount of seating (approx 8 seats). They have an extensive drinks menu and a few Vietnamese dishes for food. We all ordered banh mi and I went for the classic cold cut version. Also added an order of their fish sauce wings - a must get! The sandwiches were great and came packed with both meat and veggies. The bread had a crunch but not enough to cut the inside of your mouth. Before we left, I ordered their coconut coffee smoothie with boba as my dessert. It was too watery for my liking as I was hoping for a more smoothie/slushy consistency. read more

Eden Garden Cafe - Cold cut banh mi and Fish Sauce Chicken Wings - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

This is my go-to spot for banh mis in Shoreline! They have a lot of delicious drinks - one of my faves is the brown sugar milk with boba and the mango sago smoothie! Service is usually quick but you can call in to place an order ahead of time too. My favorite is the grilled pork banh mi and their pork vermicelli dish is tasty too. Reasonable prices and friendly service! They recently celebrated their 2nd anniversary and ran a two-day BOGO deal - yay! read more

The Ube matcha, honeydew smoothie and banh mi here is delicious! The decor is very nice, they have a green wall & a fish tank. Service is great too, they have stamp cards for drinks! My favorite was the Ube matcha, the perfect shade of matcha and the Ube foam is yummy and thick! read more

I've tried a lot of banh mi spots in California, and this place easily compares to some of the best spots in the San Gabriel Valley. First off, the variety is impressive. They have a wide range of banh mi fillings, from the classics to some harder to find options like roast pork, so there's something for everyone. My personal favorite is the crispy roast pork banh mi. The pork has that perfect crackly skin with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. Paired with the pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, and a light spread of mayo on a crusty baguette, it hits all the right textures and flavors. I also love the special banh mi with all the different meats. It's basically the greatest hits lineup with savory cold cuts, pâté, and other cured meats layered together for a rich, satisfying bite every time. It's hearty without being overwhelming, and the balance of fresh and savory components is spot on. And don't skip the drinks. The egg coffee was surprisingly excellent. The Vietnamese coffee base had a deep, bold flavor with that classic slightly bitter edge, and the creamy whipped egg topping added a smooth, lightly sweet contrast. It felt indulgent but still very coffee forward. Overall, this is a great banh mi spot for me with the great variety, tasty sandwiches, and a standout egg coffee to round it all out. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for a quality banh mi. read more

Quick, reasonably priced, and overall very yummy! This is a small spot in shoreline that has a large variety of drinks and lunch items. They also have wifi so it is totally possible to study and do work at the cafe too. I would say it is a little small for a large party but it would be a perfect stop for a casual, quick lunch. I have gotten drinks and food here and each time it has been fast and good. I have gotten the triple matcha twice and it is a huge and super yummy! It is on the sweeter side but that is perfect for me because I do prefer my drinks a bit sweeter. The service is quite fast and friendly! They also have a punch card so I am excited to return and continue supporting this spot! read more

Our friend who lives in Shoreline recommended Eden Garden Cafe to us so we tried it out for dinner around 5:45pm on Thursday. The staff were very nice and welcoming, and the place was small but cozy and had three tables. They do a brisk take-out service and we were the only ones eating our dinner there. I had the grilled pork fresh rolls which were freshly made and delicious. My hubs had the tasty grilled pork banh mi and enjoyed it. We also shared an order of popcorn chicken with fried basil and it was crispy and savory--reminded us of the popcorn chicken we had in Taiwan. For drinks, I had the Thai Tea with coconut milk (instead of the usual half-and-half) and my hubs had the Black Sesame Cloud Coffee. We liked our dinner so much that we returned two days later to take advantage of their one-year anniversary BOGO special! We got two grilled chicken banh mi and two Thai iced teas for the price of one. A total sweet deal. Thanks, Eden Garden! We're happy our friend recommended Eden Garden. It is a cute, quick, and great place for Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi), fresh rolls, snacks, and tea/coffee drinks, and the people that run it are super nice. We will definitely be back! read more

Wow wow wow! Went here for lunch and the food was super quick, really fresh, and the sauces that came with our meal was great to add to the flavor! Ordered a Tofu Bahn Mi and made it a meal (means adding fries) and a bubble tea. Ordered two bahn mi meals, and one tea with few extra sauces. Total came to under $35 (with a tip) The service was friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. It's a small, quaint little place, quiet, peaceful, CLEAN. Would definitely come back or recommend. The reviews didn't let me down! It is worth the 5 stars it has! read more

We had a great time visiting Eden Garden Cafe for lunch after a recommendation from our friends. We tried the: -Banh Mi Pho -Coconut Matcha Cloud -Coconut Coffee The Banh Mi Pho set comes with a side of pho broth, and can be eaten like a French dip sandwich with au jus. The broth pairs so well with the sandwich, I would honestly have bowls of it if I could. Parking is available but I want to note that several businesses share the same lot. Seating inside is also a bit limited, so it may be easier to grab items to-go versus dining in. read more

Eden Garden Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Eden garden is one of the newer bubble tea places. Perfect for a sunny day, and this location is right next to the Richmond Beach. Inside is clean, beautifully decorated, has 3 tables for seating. The menu has unique flavors from coffee, Milo series, milk tea, fruit tea and smoothies. They also have food like chicken, fries, Vietnamese sandwiches as well. I got the Thai green milk tea, it was okay, wish the tea was stronger. But the traditional coffee is very good, very strong and sweet Vietnamese iced coffee. I recommend for a quick bite and drinks. Service is fast. There is a parking lot that makes this convenient as well. read more

Stopped by for an impressive meal. Got the grilled pork banh mi, fish sauce wings and a mango passion fruit tea. I loved it all! The grilled work was not only plentiful, but also flavorful! The bread was soft inside and crispy on the outside. Customer service is great and the food quality superb. Big bonus that it's near me in Richmond Beach and they are open daily from 8 am-8 pm. I will be back to try more of their menu. read more

Eden Garden is certainly one of the best vietnamese cafe for drinks in the Seattle region, do not sleep on the amazing menu and thoughtful design of this place from start to finish. To wifi passwords on every table, self-serve water, and easy-to-navigate online and in-person menu ordering, Eden Garden sets the standard both front of house and back for a cafe experience. From the rich and bold vietnamese coffee drinks (including the elusive egg coffee) to the refreshing fruitiness of the mango sago smoothie you can't go wrong here. Even the food is good as I love grabbing an order of the popcorn chicken. Orders are out quick too which is appreciated. Good amount of parking in the lot though some of them can be a bit tight though plenty of parking outside the lot too. Some rundown of the things I've tried: Pandan Ginseng Macchiatto 4/5 - Tastes like creamy fruity pebbles cereal milk strangely enough Mango Sago Smoothie 5/5 - Perfect bounciness in the sago, beautiful fresh mango flavor, everything blended together well and nice and creamy Iced Egg Coffee 3.5/5 - Rich, bold, but the egg cream isn't quite as whipped and custardy as I want in a drink like this but it might be better in the hot version Thai Tea 4/5 - Solid thai tea, def get 100% sweetness imo Salted Cream Iced Vietnamese Coffee 4/5 - Solid Popcorn Chicken 4/5 - Hits the spot, good sweet chili dip. Kinda wish it had a dry spicy seasoning like taiwanese popcorn street chicken, maybe I'll make it myself... read more

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #91 We saw the signs for the one year anniversary of Eden Garden Cafe opening and were lured in by the promise of BOGO sandwiches and boba. We stopped in for an early lunch a bit before 11 AM on Saturday and the place was super crowded, with lots of people inside waiting for their orders. They seem to be really efficient in the kitchen so even with how busy they were, we got our food and drinks within a very reasonable 10 minutes. Authentic Cold Cut ($8.50) - Starting with the baguette - I'm not sure if they bake the bread in house, but I do quite like this one. The crust is fabulous. It cracks at every gentle squeeze, but the crackly crust stays adhered instead of completing flaking off and making a mess as with so many other banh mi baguettes. The interior isn't dried out at all and is instead crusty and chewy. They fill the baguette with plenty of meat in three different cuts. Firstly, headcheese, with pleasingly jelly-like and bouncy pieces embedded in meat. Then some bbq pork, sliced thinly, with the gelatinous skin still attached. Finally some Vietnamese ham (not cha lua) for the most meat-forward element of the sandwich. It all comes together in a super meaty and umami bite. They of course have the classic veggies included - pickled daikon and carrot, crisp, tangy, and mildly fish saucy, cucumber, cilantro, and some jalapeno giving only a very mild spice. They do spread some mayo on the bread, but I don't believe they use pate. They also sprinkle a generous amount of black pepper and the entire sandwich is served warm. (5/5) Roasted Pork ($8.50) - Same as above, but with the meat replaced by cubed pork belly. The pork has some very small areas with crispy bits but is mostly bouncy and gelatinous from the fatty areas. Very tender and seasoned perfectly. The pieces of meat are large enough that they indent the bread and are essentially glued in place. The fillings stay inside the baguette, which makes this sandwich constructed perfectly to have a great bite every time. (5/5) Oolong Jasmine Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.50) - After having oolong jasmine for the first time the previous day, it seemed like a no brainer to order it here. And very interestingly, it tastes entirely different from what I had yesterday. As the name implies, it is indeed oolong with a flowery jasmine aroma. The flowery fragrance is strong yet dulled, if that makes any sense, as compared to a jasmine green tea which has a brighter flowery flavor. They do mix in a ton of creamer, which makes the drink almost feel gritty, with some powdery residue that lingers on the tongue. Sweetness is fine at 50%, although perhaps a tad harsh due to the fructose mix. The boba is kind of strange. Some pieces have almost the perfect smooth bounce, but then after chewing on more, some feel a bit mushy, while others are a bit firmer. It's not a gigantic difference in texture so I don't think they mix batches together, but it's puzzling why there's an actually very noticeable texture difference. The boba is otherwise marinated well so it's pleasingly sweet. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Classic Oolong Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.25) - Again, a very milky somewhat powdery drink, with pleasing oolong taste and a slight astringency in the aftertaste. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Overall I was very impressed with Eden Garden Cafe. It's difficult to find a place that serves both solid food and solid boba. This place meets that criteria and is certainly somewhere I'll be revisiting. Congrats for the one year in operation. I hope they stay for years to come. Bathrooms - One unisex room. read more

Discovered this place is on the way to tan and it's been a routine lately. I've tried several other items and the quality on food + drink has been consistently yummy. I would say their drinks especially. A lot of variety to choose from, quick service and delicious. They have a combo option: banh mi with fries. I like their cold cut dac biet and their grilled pork sandwich. I wish the carrot is more pickled to contrast the taste buds. The fries and popcorn chicken need a pinch more seasoning. The chicken wings were hot and juicy, forgot what flavor I chose but it still lacked a bit. My favorite drink so far is their Thai green tea and the matcha coconut cloud. Definitely a place I've enjoyed stopping weekly. read more

I was craving a banh mi and stopped in on my way to run some errands. I got the grilled pork banh mi ($8.50) which was delicious! It was very well priced and well packaged. I also got a grass jelly vietnamese coffee, which I did not like - it wasn't a strong vietnamese coffee and the drink also came with konjac, which I wasn't expecting from the description. I'd try a different drink next time. Plenty of parking in the parking lot as well! read more

So good! Banh mi delish! Pho delish! Together - heavenly! This is a go to - never a miss.

Went in, glad we have this close to our house. The coconut cloud matcha was perfect and refreshing. A tad but on the sweet side. The pho banh mi was a good 4/5. The brisket was nicely cooked and cut perfect portion for sandwich. The side of pho brother was wow! The service is great and welcoming. Staff in kitchen was filled with smiles. The parking is great and availability. The decor inside is cute for such a small space. They also have a stamp card. read more

Wow, welcoming side this place is really close to Richmond beach just in case you wanted to eat in a 10 million dollar view . Now ladies. And gentlemen , kids of all ages banh and bubble tea has arrived in north seattle, Shazam. I went twice in two weeks just make sure it was constant, I got a banh , deep fried octopus and bubble tea. That's some fresh crunch bread and crunchy veggies the sauce on the sandwinchs is alittle sweet but seems to work well. The deep fried octopus was good and okay I get it they all can't cooked the exactly the same so it still and work in progress but I would try it again. Either I don't see it or they don't do it but at home input a fried egg on the sandwinch , that put it over the top.. that should be an option. read more

I am very happy another indie, family run business has opened in Shoreline's Richmond Beach neighborhood, Eden Garden Cafe (9/26/24). It is located in a mini strip mall that shares the same parking lot with five other businesses; plus located also across from Spin Alley and Richmond Beach Coffee Company. It is on a Metro bus line and same route to the public library and Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. On their opening day through the weekend (Sept 26 - 29) they are offering BOGO beverages, buy one get one free! Very welcoming upon entering. Clean and limited onsite seating. The menu is pretty vast with regards to beverages and banh mi sandwiches. They posted photos of their menu to the Yelp site so it can be viewed ahead of time. I went with the basics to see how they do. I ordered both iced: A2 Traditional Vietnamese Coffee and D2 Classic Milk Tea/no boba. Reasonably priced and well crafted. Usually, I have to visit spots all over Seattle and Kent for such beverages. Great to know there's a spot right here in Shoreline. I'll have to return to try other beverages and a banh mi. read more

Grand opening today and a couple of friends and I visited! They are doing a BOGO for the rest of this weekend so definitely take advantage of that. It's a small little tea shop that also sells banh mi, there are 2- 3 seat tables up front and 2 tables outside. I ordered the Oolong Jasmine Milk Tea, definitely not disappointed I really enjoyed how it wasn't sweet! The banh mi is ALSO BOGO, so I ordered one chicken one for myself and one for the husband later. As I write this review, I'm contemplating on eating my husband's banh mi because it was pretty dang good haha. Or else, I might have to go back tomorrow! It's super close to my home so I will definitely be stopping by for my banh mi cravings! It was the perfect amount of meat to pickled to bread ratio! I love it! The owners / staff were also really nice and friendly! There's a giant menu on the wall inside so definitely try this shop out for yourself! read more

Located in a plaza so there's parking available, Eden Garden Cafe is a cozy Vietnamese spot serving up banh mi, boba, Vietnamese coffee, fruit teas, and smoothies. Very solid location near the beach with a pretty good selection of items for grab and go (for the beach!) or a little picnic. That being said, it is a bit tucked away from main streets but convenient for before or after the beach since that strip is a bit empty. Super friendly family running the operations, so wishing them the best. There's also some seating inside with outlets. They're counter spots though so a bit difficult to converse with a group of friends but decent for getting work done. No wifi however, so hotspot or offline work needed. Did not try their food, only boba. They do offer sugar and ice level adjustments, not sure if it's obvious from the menu. Standard prices for boba these days. Classic Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was a bit varied as I had some undercooked (harder) pieces alongside boba with a great chew. At 25% sugar, there was almost no sweetness which is fair, so they definitely honor choices. Green tea was light and smooth, but not floral. read more

Was in the area, coming from Costco, and craving boba. It was a Saturday evening and surprisingly the area was quiet - no like and got our drinks in less than 5 minutes. Cafe is small and cute. Tables to sit and eat (they have Bahn Mi) and charging outlets ! Boba was AWESOME. Perfect about of chew while still maintaining softness and sweetness. Green Thai tea had a great floral note from the jasmine green tea and the Thai tea wasn't overly sweet, so you can still taste the tea. To top it all off, they were 16-20oz cups for only $6 ! Best deal for good boba I've seen in a while Would definitely come back and hopefully try the food next time ! read more

Very pleasant surprise with this spot! It doesn't look like much from the outside but drinks and food are solid. We've been coming here regularly. I was struggling to find a decent boba spot nearby and this place is pretty good in a pinch. The Thai green tea was fragrant and the crystal boba was a good texture. Sea salt coffee was pretty good. The banh mi here are decent as well. We usually get the grilled pork and the cold cut. Wish they had a combo one though! read more

I normally come here for Vietnamese coffee in the mornings, but finally tried their food and smoothies and OMG. I tried their Mango Sago Smoothie, and I think it'll be the drink of the summer. Their Banh mi are also really good, but you cannot skip the wings. They are super crispy - the fish sauce wings are my favorite. I tried the fried banana today, and even that was fried to perfection! This place is such a hidden gem, I'm working my way through their coffee and boba menu. Also, the owners are so nice, and it makes grabbing a drink that much better. Check them out next time you're near Richmond Beach! read more

Good drinks but their roasted pork banh mi was not good. The meat was old, dry and tough, and the bread was too thick. Would only come back for drinks but it's also outta my way so I won't be back at all. read more

first time trying this restaurant. Great food, and great value. Definitely will come back and try other stuff on the menu.

Wow! Found this place when doing a search for banh mi and it ended up being extremely delicious. The grilled pork was perfect with crunchy soft bread, great sauce and seasoning and a good kick with the jalapeños, it was so good. I also tried the coconut matcha cloud tea and it was much better than I expected. I'm not a huge coconut person but in this one the base is coconut water so it's not grossly sweet, more just kind of genuinely fresh. I dined in and was able to attend a work meeting using their wi fi, they have a few tables and with that set-up it's a great place to eat alone. Staff were very kind too. Highly recommend, I will definitely return! read more

Really good lemongrass tofu Bahn mi. Love that they don't use mayo :) Would love more vegan options in the future.

Great little cafe with fantastic options on Vietnamese coffee (egg cloud, Milo, salted cream, coconut, plus many more) and banh mi. Owners were super nice and came by to ask for feedback because they wanted to make sure everything suited our tastes. We got a Grilled Chicken Banh Mi (crisp bread on the exterior with fluffiness in the middle), Vietnamese Beef Ragu (generous chunks of beef with a nice, dipping sauce perfect for cool Seattle weather), and Milo coffee (great flavor without being too sweet). Because of their BOGO promo, we also got takeout of the same items - everything for ~$20. This weekend is their grand opening and they have an amazing buy one, get one free on their food and drinks - go in and support a family owned business! read more
