The restaurant was well lit and clean. Staff were attentive. The food here was amazing! Probably the best Vietnamese food I've had in Philly so far. The meats were not overly charred and tender. The ingredients were fresh. Not to mention the large portions on the vermicelli! The banh mi bread was really good and crispy on the outside. The only thing odd was to pay and tip before we ate food. I guess we could've left tips on the table after instead if we had cash. That said, it was convenient to go up to order without waiting for the waiters. Thanks for the good food!!

I would maybe not include tooth picks in the take out items since someone else may have trouble seeing it and bite into it as well

I had the iced matcha with vanilla that was perfectly balanced. Looking forward to trying other drinks in the future. Would Recommend!

Yes, the beer is expensive, but the convenience is nice in Grad Hospital for just swinging by and grabbing something. Additionally, they have tables to chill inside while you're drinking.

The staff is friendly and great at recommending new and fun drinks. Unfortunately the last two times I've stoped by, my iced latte was a bit burnt. Not to the extent that is wasn't drinkable, but not awesome for an 8 dollar drink. I grabbed a matcha on my first visit and that was great, I'll be sticking to their matcha on future visits. Overall, a great cafe to work from and hang out a bit!

I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Was able to walk up and order. I got the house special,the latte with black sea salt. It's fairly large for a coffee shop. The morning crowd had filled up most of the tables. My coffee tasted slightly sweet and slightly salty. After a couple of sips, I think I got most of the salt. I probably should have stirred it more. Still a really good latte

Also noticed a seasonal grapefruit sage espresso soda on the menu, which would be refreshing on a warm day when you want a change from iced coffee. Very clean with several tables along the windows for laptops (although I didn't scope outlets) and several outdoor tables on the sidewalk. They sell pasties that looked like were from a legit artisan bakery, and I appreciated the small standing bar area they had off to the corner just past the entrance. Definitely recommend this location of Rival Bros.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.
