★★★★☆ 4.0 Mei Wu · Feb 2026

4 stars for hospitality! Extremely caretaking and sweet owners 💕. Bless their sweet soul for still serving the community here! The beef pho was not as flavorful as I wanted. It did not have the depth of salty umami I needed for pho broth and the beef.. well.. it had a funky taste so I avoided it entirely. I only ate the beef meatballs. I found myself wondering if the broth was just water and salt + pepper in a quick boil with some beef slices to give some flavor versus a rich beef broth simmered with bones. I really tasted the starch from the rice noodles in the broth, which tells me probably it was not cooked separately nor drained. 🙈

OMFG, love this place. It's a wife & husband team and they are the absolute BEST! The food is served with Aloha and you know you are being well taken care of the moment you walk in. Also great to see so many regulars dining in and grabbing takeout. They also have cute like coffee machines and moka pots decorated on the walls of the restaurant. Love this place and be sure to check their hours into the afternoon.

Delicious coffee and breakfast options. I had the breakfast special with bacon on the side. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee (dark roast), which is very smooth and strong. The owners were the sweetest! Thank you 🌺

The couple that runs this Cafe are incredibly hospitable. Atmosphere is good and ac feels comfortable. Coffee is next level and jet fuel as far as I'm concerned. Strongest coffee for the money on the island hands down. The banh mi is pretty good and we had the lemon grass chicken. The lemon grass chicken was flavorful and had a bit of heat. Overall lovely experience and would recommend to any coffee lover looking for different food offerings.

I have not tried the food bc I come here regularly for Vietnamese ice coffee! This is the best one I’ve found for Vietnamese ice coffee on the island! Def strong in caffeine 😍 The owners are super friendly. There is a wait sometimes since they make everything themselves so call in your order ahead of time if you want! They do have tap pay! Street parking or parking garage available!
