    Great Vietnamese coffee, with great Bahn Mi too! The breakfast sandwiches are really solid, esp the sunny side Bahn mi, and the space is a great vibe for doing work or just hanging out. Plus they have a big outdoor area too so would def come back on a sunny day for a great breakfast or lunch!

    Checked out this spot the other week to go get some work done. It is so cute inside there is so much open seating indoor and outdoor. Service is quick and food is delicious. I tried one of the breakfast sandwiches they recommended to me, but will definitely be back to try more.

    egg coffee is foamy, pho is peppery & not that clean / filling of a flavor. but great place to study bc the seats are super nice, wide, booths for 3-6 (if squeeze) ppl, outlets.

    Stopped by this cafe after seeing it on Instagram! It is a very great space for enjoying a coffee, meeting with friends, or sitting outside on the patio. They serve Vietnamese coffee, bubble tea, sandwiches, and bowls. The employee explained that I could only have the Sunny bowl with no sauce. It was not much substance due to the modifications. Wish they had a gluten free soy sauce! They do not have any gluten free bread options which I was surprised by. The vanilla latte was great! So if you are looking for coffee or bubble tea I would recommend. Food not so much. Hoping for some added menu changes in the future! Celiac note: I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2023 and have been on the hunt for safe and delicious gluten-free spots around Pittsburgh ever since. Everyone with celiac has different comfort levels when eating out, so I always recommend doing your own research and choosing what feels right for you.

    Sunny side Banh mi

    one of my absolute favorite Vietnamese spots ever. I visit Pittsburgh 5-6 times a year and I eat here at least once every time. Those breakfast bahn mis HIT like nothing else. I live 10 hours away and have been dreaming of them the last week. The mayo is so good, the flavor profile of each sandwich is perfect, there's a lot of places that try to make fancier versions of something classic and fail. Ineffable is not one of those places. I adore the signs that give individual credit to staff who made certain menu items that day or week. I'd love to see a little more resources put into their baked goods (my apologies but the bagels are lackluster), and I would love to see specials that are new/rotating additions to the menu .... Like a breakfast sandwich with peanut sauce ? Can't wait to stop by again!

    Banh MI Thit Kho (Braised Pork Belly Sandwich)

    Banh mi was flavorful and had a good crunch. The ambiance is very nice and is a good study spot. The place is so cute and well decorated.

    Bahn Banh MI Thit Kho (Braised Pork Belly Sandwich)
    Menghai T.

    I got a Vietnamese iced coffee and a banh mi thit kho(braised pork). The coffee was strong and also not super sweet. The banh mi had a good baguette and great pickled carrots and daikon. The pork was sweet and tender. The mayo felt off on this banh mi, it felt a bit more liquidity than other typical banh mi sandwich and was missing a certain saltiness to it. I The sandwich was $13 and coffee was $7. Overall a solid brunch/cafe spot I would probably just come back for a coffee not the food. Food: 6.3 Staff/service: 7 Overall: 6.6/10

    I loved the space that they've created; hole in the wall vibes on the outside with a deep and homey interior. The people there are so kind. The coffee was subpar compared to other Vietnamese coffees I've had before. Compared to some spots in NY, I found their salted egg espresso to be a little bitter, which I assume must be attributed to brewing method or maybeee could use more condensed milk. Anyway, maybe better for a basic coffee and a spot to curl up and read.

    Ineffable remains a great place to grab a bite to eat and a drink while working on your laptop. I danced in my seat to the music while completing what otherwise might have been deadly dull paperwork. I needed to plug in, but outside they have tents set up if you want to enjoy the fresh air. Thanks for being you!

    So called Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi, tasted awful.
    Lori T.

    I supposed got grilled lemongrass chicken sandwiches and Vietnamese coffee. Ended up grilled chicken looks like 3days leftover fridge chicken (see pic) and my 1/3 cup of so called Vietnamese coffee (tasted like water). Coming from West Coast and this place should sell Vietnamese food if you can't make it right.

    Stopped in for Saturday breakfast. There was a ton of seating available both inside and outside. The decor was inviting. Tons of string lights and warm wood tones. The staff were friendly and the drinks and food were out in no time flat. I had a delicious bubble tea, black tea with passion fruit flavor and boba pearls. My friend ordered a latte and asked the barista to surprise her on flavor. I tasted the latte and it was great! Had a little coconut flavor and was not too sweet. I added bacon and an additional egg to the sunny bahn mi and it was pretty tasty. I wish the sandwich was bigger. I would definitely come back and try some lunch options or maybe work a few hours remotely here.

    This is such a unique space! Serves pho + coffee and both are delicious! It is also such a great place to work or study.

    Ciara D.

    Actually loved this place! So much seating! The ambience is as great! It all felt cozy and welcoming! I just got a iced vanilla latte and it was really good! (I always feel like you can judge a place by a iced vanilla latte for some reason!) They have so many options! I definitely need to go back for the bubble tea or some food options! My girls got marble cookies and loved them! The staff wasn't as friendly but they could have just been tired or having an off day! Overall would definitely return!

Pho Minh is a no frills, small Vietnamese restaurant in Bloomfield. Paid street parking is available out front and no reservations are required nor recommended. THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY!!! You've been warned. No worries if you do forget, there is a PNC Bank Branch ATM like 2 blocks away. We opted for the fried spring rolls and they were so good. They were also way larger than normal so it's certainly worth their price. Amazing filling and perfectly crispy. I opted for the pho with flank steak and tripe. The broth is amazing. Noodles perfectly cooked. The portion was so big that I took some home for lunch tomorrow but I wanted to continue eating. This place was my partner's go to pho spot growing up and I was so glad I got to visit for the first time. I cannot wait to return!

They have a wide variety of different noodle soups, rices, and vermicillis. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Pho Minh Soup), which came with rare beef, beef balls, flank steak, and chicken. The broth was decent -- not the most flavorful I've had, but still satisfying. My partner got the Bun Thang, a vermicelli soup with chicken, egg, pork, and shrimp. Unfortunately, the broth on that one was a bit bland, and the toppings weren't finely shredded. Solid portion size though, since I left very full. The ambiance reminds me of hole-in-the-wall type restaurants - simple, no-frills, and a spot of the locals. Fyi: this place only accepts cash, so come prepared.
