This is one of my OG Boba tea and Asian places. The interior can accommodate small to medium sized groups. They have many To-go items you can grab quickly. Not only do they have a food menu but they serve boba tea drinks! I always come back when I am on this part of town. read more

Came across Thuy Cafe at the new International Farmers Market in Clearwater. They were very friendly describing what they had. I ordered the Bánh xèo which I know I love already. They gave it to me but it was hard to eat it with a spoon and a napkin. We ended up getting plastic wear elsewhere. It was still good but the dipping sauce was spicy so I didn't eat that. read more

Bon mi perfection. Fresh made bread is the key. I get the sardine sandwich is is not offered in most restaurants of this type. I come just for that. Boba drinks are top notch but ask for less sugar. I visit every time in St Pete!! read more

This is the O.G. boba tea cafe in the area. I used to come here all the time and over the years, new cafes opened up and naturally we had to try. With that being said my family and I haven't been here in a long time. We finally had the opportunity to come back here since we were dining in the same plaza. I ordered a fruit tea and sugar cane drink to share with the kids. Lovely taste. Not overly sweet (which we love) and comparable prices to other cafes. My family also loved that they carry the bean dessert (Sweet Beans) so they ordered that and enjoyed it. We did see that they added food options to their menu since we last visited, which obviously has been a long time since the last visit they only had banh mi! We have to remember to come back and try it. read more

Arrived to St. Petersburg and had craving for banh mi. On a busy street but with ample parking Thuy Cafe is an unexpected find. I ordered three different sandwiches to-go and then, decided to stay for the pho; broth was rich but needed more thinly sliced beef, bean sprouts, and condiments. read more

Our favorite Vietnamese Coffee shop was closed today for renovations. So we tried Thuy Cafe & overall it was a good experience. The cafe is super authentic and cozy inside. The workers were very friendly & helpful. We ordered coffees & they were reasonably priced. They could have used a bit more sweetened condensed milk, which we've learned is the signature of Vietnamese coffee. But the friendliness of the workers made up for the lack of full flavor. The food looked good so we shall return & give that a try. read more

Thuy Cafe - Bahmi chicken sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Thuy Cafe has been my favorite restaurant for lunch pickup for many years. The food (Vietnamese) is always flavorful and prices are extremely reasonable - a ban mi & regular boba usually cost me $11-12. I really like the ban mi sandwiches and have at least three that are my favorite, served on a crusty French baguette. I also like to treat myself to a boba drink. Taro & coconut are my favorites - they have at least 50 flavors. The staff are always really friendly and your order is ready quickly for me to pick up. Will be back next time I need lunch! read more

I dropped by Thuy Cafe after work around 530pm. It was peaceful and quiet inside. Two customers entered in the time I was there, and the two ladies working were amiable. I tried ordering a Raspberry Tea and a Pineapple Green Tea, but they were out of stock-- disappointing, but not the end of the world. I haven't been here more than once, so I can't say if this is a regular occurrence or not. I ended up with a Hazelnut Milk Tea with Tapioca Boba and a Lychee Green Tea with Lychee Jelly. I have a proclivity for enjoying sweet flavors, but wow the Hazelnut was VERY sweet, even for me. It actually reminded me of a melted ice cream or something. Just be wary of this flavor if that is not your taste. The Tapioca, however, was fresh with the perfect consistency and taste in my opinion. The Lychee Tea was very refreshing and tasty. It was more of a normal sweetness. The jelly add-ins were good too. I preferred this drink to the other. I saw some really delicious looking options on the menu in terms of noodles/rolls, so I will have to be back to try food options and different drinks. read more

We live in Tallahassee but visit St Pete often. And every time we do we stop at the Thuy Cafe to pick up lunch to eat on our ride back home. We are in a rut, but it's a good rut: we always get the Vietnamese Specialty Banh Mi. It's a traditional Banh mi made with pork sausage (cha lua), pâté, a combo of pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro, cucumber and jalapeño. And it's served on an absolutely perfect French baguette. It makes for a wonderful sandwich to eat while driving. If you want to eat it later, ask them to put the veggies in the side; they'll put them in a plastic bag so the bread won't get soggy and you can put them on the sandwich when you are ready to eat. I also always get a Vietnamese iced coffee (caphe sua da). I know they have an extensive list of boba drinks, but the humble Vietnamese coffee (which does not include tapioca pearls), is the perfect accompaniment to the Banh Mi. This time we also tried an appetizer that looked amazing: soft dough rounds are topped with combo of pork and dried shrimp, sprinkled with egg yolk powder, with a small container of nuoc cham, the quintessential Vietnamese condiment that's sweet and salty. It was a little tough trying to eat them in the car (grabbed a bite at the frequent red lights on 34th street), but so well worth it. Can't wait to go back again! read more

This place has the best Sugarcane juice hands down. I spent 2 days driving around Tampa and Orlando to find the best sugarcane juice. I believe they add kumquats in it but to me, gives it a nice citrus twist to the delicious sugarcane. I didn't really try anything else but what I observed while waiting looked fantastic. Wish I could give it 10 stars. I love it. read more

I have been coming here since around 2001 ish and this place used to be SUPER good. Like I would rave about it to everyone. They legit at the time only had bahn mi's and a select few boba options and throughout the years they expanded their boba list and their bahn mi's were the best in town! It was perfectly made, perfect amount of ingredients, jalapeños were really spicy and delicious. But I am not quite sure when it changed - it's been quite a few years - idk if they got new owners or management or something but the sandwiches are still good but they're different sized than what they used to be and the jalapeños are rarely ever spicy and the boba quality has gone down. They used to be my favorite and original boba spot back when you could only get boba here or at seasons. Also they have added a few other things to their menus besides bahn mi and boba such as fried rice and vermicelli but I've not tried anything else besides the bahn mi's. I still go back when I have the urge for bahn mi but I really do miss the old one. read more

I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed of myself for coming to this gem of a family owned Vietnamese restaurant for 3 years and never writing a review. I'm ashamed that I have enjoyed more than a hundred of their grilled shrimp banh mi and have never shared just how amazingly delicious it truly is. This is such a wonderful restaurant tucked away in Pinellas Park. There are plenty of places to sit and eat or you can take the food to go! I always get the grilled shrimp banh mi sandwich and it's perfect. Literally, impeccable. They toast the bread so perfectly so that the outside is crunchy and the inside is soft and warm. The carrots, jalapeño, cilantro and everything else is nothing short of being incredibly fresh. Everything about this sandwich tastes like it was just plucked from a garden, washed and placed inside. They have delicious fresh juices that my friends and family who've I've brought here in the past really enjoyed it. Their boba tea is on point, and this is coming from someone who doesn't really care much for boba tea. Last, and certainly not least, is the service. This family owned place always greets everyone with a smile and are incredibly helpful with giving different suggestions for those indecisive customers Overall, this place is one of my go to spots and if you haven't already looked up directions on Google Maps, then you're missing out.... read more

#600th review I choose Thuy Cafe because it is a small business with cool food. I would said Pinellas Park area have too many good Vietnamese food. This is one of the unique noodles soup area. It is tiny not too many seats. But we were able to get a seat at the weekend after the Love of Tango. I try their Bun Rieu Cua - Crab Cake Noodle Soup. This noodle soup have white crab cake, fried crab cake. Very nice soup base. The accompanying veggie is very well decorated with arrangement. This is my first time to have this soup. I have empty the whole bowl. We also have other items such as the lemongrass grilled beef sandwich, wonton noodle soup, shrimp chip. By the way, they have 20 different sandwich to try. Some include vegetarian ham. Ham for vegetarians???!!! Pinellas, you don't know you have pearl in your area. Please check them up. read more

I am really surprised that more people have still not reviewed Thuy Café, considering how busy they are whenever I come by for a visit. They have recently expanded in the same shopping center to a space that is double the size. There are always music videos or live conerts playing on the widescreen TV and they have really cool tables and wrap around sofas. Their bubble tea is excellent, but now they have expanded their food options. I joke around and call it a Banh Mi Subway, because it gets so crowded in there and their new counters to make Banh Mi are like the sandwich counters at Subway. Their Sugar Cane juice is also excellent. It is right over by Halong Bay, so it is great to get some bubble tea for dessert and a Banh Mi for dinner later. I highly recommend their grilled pork Banh Mi, delicious! For St. Petersburg, this is as good as it gets!!! read more

So I really give this place a 3 3/4 stars, so I rounded up to 4. I can't give it a full 4 for these reasons: - they didn't have ripped pork - ran out of short ribs so only 1 of the 3 that we ordered was prepared and we had to change it to grilled chicken...after we had paid for beef - it took forever for everyone to get their meals and tea - no seating for more than 2 people at a time - this is the first slush tea that has given me a brain freeze because the ice wasn't blended well...I like it creamy/snow So now for the good stuff: - The Nurong Me (sesame beef sandwich) is delicious - the short rib platter is delicious - the grilled chicken platter is delicious The grilled chicken reminds me if the inside of a manapua/xio pao...yummmm! Definitely a good stop when in The Pete. read more

Where do I start..? For a small town, they sure have a big kick in their flavors. They have all your favorite selections taste of Vietnamese cuisine in one place. I lovvvee their Mi Quang! They've also tried their Bun Rieu, which is good too! The cashier was super sweet! We came in before closing not realizing it until the kitchen left. Felt really bad, but they still stayed open for us. Definitely would be back whenever I'm in town again! read more

More like 3.5. Enjoyed my green tea and the sesame beef sandwich very much. Parking can be a bit tight, just hope it's not too busy. Thought the service was slow, placed a large order which included three orders of beef ribs... Just to find out 10 minutes later they only had enough for one order. Anyhow, good enough to make a stop during lunch hour, not sure it's worth the long wait. read more

Just an alright place. Their drinks are mediocre. Keep in mind that Thuy Cafe does NOT specialize in drinks, rather their Vietnamese selection of food are much better. Try any type of their banh mi - you won't regret it. The baguette is crispy and they don't skimp on the meat, just a good amount. The prices are standard. Their service is modest. They hardly ever answer the phone, so you'll most likely be walking in and ordering. Even then, foods and drinks take way longer than the average place does, so make sure you're not on a time crunch when you come here. Overall, there are definitely better places in the area for Boba and Vietnamese food, but Thuy Cafe is an alright choice if you're looking for something simple and affordable. read more

Small quaint cafe that really satisfies my fix for Vietnamese food. I come here often for lunch to escape the long, monstrous lines at Panera and they're usually really good about getting your order out within 10 minutes. I am such a fan of Vietnamese grilled pork and they do it right over here. My go-to is The Pork Banh Mi or the pork bowl over vermicelli noodles... Yummmmmmmm. Best part is the menu is all under $10 and their bubble tea is claimed to be the best in the St. Pete area. I'm new to town and don't have anything to compare it to, but it is definitely not bad! read more

I love coming to Thuy's Cafe when I can. The only thing I usually order because it's so darn good is the Banh Canh Tom Cua. From the choice of noodles to broth flavor to price - it's perfect! However, I went yesterday to find they changed the bigger hollowed noodles to smaller typical udon noodles. Not a big deal but I was a huge fan of the old style of noodles they used. Their drinks are always refreshing too and it's hard not to leave without a snack or 2 for later. read more

I went toThuy cafe for boba tea so I cannot speak to the quality of the food available. It looks delicious but unfortunately I did not get a chance to try it for myself this time around. They had a bunch of pre-made snacks that were available by the register for a quick grab and go snack. There were also other meals that you could order, like bun bo hue. What I can say about this place is that the staff was super friendly and fast. We did not wait more than five minutes for our drinks. Their boba is a little softer than I am used to but delicious nonetheless. The dining area is full of small tables so it is not the best place for large groups to hang out. There is a little lounge area in the corner with a couch that could accommodate a larger group, but still not more than 7 or so people. read more

This is a cute Little Vietnamese café located in a modest plaza right off of US 19. They sell various Vietnamese dishes and milk teas with Boba of different flavors. The facilities is small with a few seating inside and outside, but incredibly cute! You have to order at the counter first and then seat yourself. They'll deliver the food/drink to your table once it's ready. I like their rice vermicelli with lemongrass beef. Their Boba milk tea consistency is a little bit different from others that I've tried before. There's is more of a slushy consistency instead of just a milky one. If you happen to be on that side of town, I would recommend taking a stop if your hungry for that type of cuisine for a quick little lunch. Warning: they have angled, one way parking in the open lot out front. Be careful which way you come in. read more

NOTE: my personal rating for their tapioca balls was 1/5 stars. My rating for their mango slushie and service is 4/5. Thuy cafe has been a staple boba joint for my family since I was a kid, however, now that I've come back for the summer, the boba tastes a bit different.... Pros: 1. mango slushies is what I always get and I rate that 5/5 because it's made with FRESH mango. 2. my bro always gets honeydew slushies and he liked his. Con: 1. I ordered taro milk tea and they gave me a melted taro slushie (NOT MILK TEA) with very bad boba... 2. Guy said his taro smoothie tasted like chocolate? Maybe it was powered flavor, Idk. He prefers Orlando's Chewy's taro Milk Boba. 3. My brother said his boba consistency was melted together. BAD TAPIOCA consistency in my opinion, BUT my brother liked it this squishy (his experience was a 5/5). 4. While drinking my mango boba, my boba got stuck at the bottom of my straw so I lifted it to get rid of the blockage. I found that it was a huge melted together blob of tapioca balls. This occurred MULTIPLE TIMES. It was annoying. Recommendations: I would probably get the drink and AVOID the black tapioca boba at all costs next time. Maybe I would try their jelly. I always return for their mango slushies! read more

Great food. Great service. Super nice. It is the best place in town to get Vietnamese food.

Why 4 stars? Because it's the best Boba I've had in Tampa Bay. --- --- --- Not much you can say about a place when your sole experience consisted of ordering one boba tea. I'm nowhere near a boba expert, but I definitely enjoy it when it's available. It did smell a bit like something died in there...but as we all know - when you're craving boba, nothing stands in your way. I went with banana and it satisfied me thoroughly. When I'm in the Clearwater/Pinellas Park/St Pete triangle again and craving a delicious treat, Thuy Cafe will be my destiny. read more

I am in love with the Bahn mi here! The lemongrass chicken is a decadent change to the standard pork or cold cut Bahn mi. They have a large selection of other types of Bahn mi as well (one of the widest I have found in the Tampa Bay Area. The restaurant is in a strip center with another Vietnamese restaurant and a Chinese restaurant but this is the fast casual spot in the strip center. Definitely worth a visit!! read more
