The Guava and Acerola Blend had frozen pieces in my bowl (might not be a popular option). I could slightly taste the Guava, what I did taste I liked, but I would've like to taste more of it. Cacao flavor wasn't rich either. They also don't have as many options as EverBowl, which is our GoTo açaí bowl spot. However, for some reason they're scarce in the city of Houston.

Retro Cafe is honestly everything you could ask for in a Vietnamese cafe. The food was amazing, especially the wings! They were fresh, flavorful, and easily one of the best things on the menu. The drinks and other dishes were just as good, and everything tasted authentic and made with care. On top of that, the vibe here is incredible: cozy, aesthetic, welcoming, and the perfect place to relax or hang out with friends. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were all top-tier, and it's definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Vietnamese food and a chill vibe. read more

I had a great experience at Retro Cafe thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff. Phoenix and Tony went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. When I received the wrong order, Phoenix was quick to offer a solution and invited me back to make things right. A few weeks later, Tony provided me with two pho soups and made sure I was taken care of. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. I would definitely recommend Retro Cafe to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more

"The food quality here was excellent - fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes, and everything was well-prepared. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. However, I did notice that the portion sizes were smaller compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. While I left satisfied, a little more food would have made the experience perfect. Overall, great taste, but I'd love to see more generous portions in the future!" read more

I just stumbled across this place when in the Cypress area looking for a place to get my Pho fix. They actually don't have Pho so I was a little disappointed at first. I went ahead and order the vermicelli and it was fantastic. I've been back to this place 3 or 4 times since. The restaraunt is always clean and the food is good. Prices are more than you would pay at fast food of course but reasonable. read more
