Stopped in to grab an Americano to go, only to find out I could have ordered an egg coffee. A cool spot that served up Vietnamese coffee along with Banh mi’s. Not a place to set up and chill, more of a spot to pop in and grab a java to go. Great staff and great coffee. I’ll be back.

This café is a hidden gem! The owners put so much love into everything and you can taste it. The cookies are loaded with decadent chocolate and the Vietnamese coffee tastes authentic ☺️ The staff are kind even during rushes, and portions are super generous. Highly recommend for lunch, coffee, or a sweet treat 💛

Excellent coffee and food. Pays their employees well so they don't ask for tips and still provides excellent service. Thank you for investing in downtown ottawa and helping to revitalize the core. Happy to support owner operated small businesses...

Really quick. No seating yet. Even though there was 10+ people ahead of me, I still got my grilled beef banh mi and salted cold foam coffee in 11 min from ordering it. Very clean and spacious area, wheelchair accessible. Looking forward to seeing how this place grows. Please consider having fresh sugarcane juices next year. That would pair so well with banh mi. Banh mi baguette was soft, not so much of a satisfying crust, but very good bread to filling ratio- very tender and juicy beef. I would have preferred more from the flavoured pickled white radish and carrots and possibly the option of spicy chili peppers. Coffee was perfect.

I ordered the chicken bánh mì and it was delicious. It is more expensive than other places, but it was worth paying the price for the amount of protein packed into it. The iced vanilla matcha latte was decent for Ottawa standards however the flavour profile of the matcha was lighter. They did not have earl grey or brown sugar syrup on the day I went but I look forward to trying it. The space currently does not have any seats or tables but there is outdoor public seating to the left of the building.
