“A delicious and somewhat tucked away spot.

I always drive by good dogs on my way to and from my job. It closes right when I get off. I had the time to go today and it was well worth the visit.
The dogs are delicious the airstream trailer is adorable and he's both polite, willing to chat, and fast.
If you want to stop by there is only one parking spot. I'd recommend parking by Santa Cruz tire and auto and walking over. There is some good seating.
I'm definitely going back and bring my friend and coworkers along.”

“We tried this spot for the first time this morning and it did not disappoint! The owner, Tram was so warm and welcoming — you can tell she pours love into the space.

We had the Bella Bon Bon (tasty and not too sweet) and the Sua Da — strong Vietnamese coffee that gave us the boost we needed! We also tried two pastries: the beef and chorizo one was incredibly flaky with a slightly sweet, seasoned to perfection— 10/10. And the pâte à choux was packed with flavor and so satisfying.

The space is open and beautifully decorated with cool art, Vietnamese hip-hop playing, and a big cozy couch tucked in the back. Tram chatted with us for a while — super sweet and genuine person and we wish this small business many blessings.

Definitely planning to come back soon!”
