I just live here

Came here in hopes of getting a bahn mi sandwich. I asked the cashier/Barista (who didn't greet or say a word to me upon getting to the counter) about the sandwich & she says it's americanized. Whatever I wanted some bbq pork BAHN MI. I'm honestly just so upset. $10 for 2 bites of meat and the rest is bread drenched in sriracha mayo. No daikon no cucumber might as well not have put any meat in this...whatever it is. Go to Nhu Lan on sheridan & lawrence for a $8 bahn mi that's filled with flavor, double in size, veggies and most importantly the pork that's supposed to be there! This is a cute place for a coffee date maybe but definitely not built or staffed for/with someone who can prepare a decent sandwich. Don't believe me? Look at the pic! 💀

Our neighborhood is lucky to have this spot! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, the food is good, and they have a great Vietnamese Iced Coffee.

Been here twice. Both times, the cashier seemed like they didn't want any part in working there. I ordered drip coffee the first time and it was good. Second time, saw banh mi on the menu and thought I'd order it. Whatever I got was... I don't even know, just see the attached photo.....

Was very excited of the place and was not disappointed! Food is very unique in drinks and I would recommend. Although I do wish to not sit in a sofa instead of a chair but thats okay! No shame in small spaces.The atmosphere is very chittery but also calm and the same time and pleasing!?☕️ And the staff is very nice and welcoming! Would come back?

It is a great place to hang out or talk to friends after school or if you need a place that has food and drinks but a place that is also quiet so you can focus on your work or whatever you're doing on your computer. It's a great way to relax there do your work eat a bagel or have a drink, I would recommend the bagels because they are good. My favorite drink there to get when I'm out of school is Oreo milk tea, I would recommend that as well. It's just a really nice place to relax and have something for yourself.

Nice little gems cafe , the owner and staff are friendly and welcoming .So far , We had ping blossoms late , ice mocha , rice porridge, cake, muffin egg and bacon , and breakfast tea , etc as we visit the cafe more than twice , as we feel so relaxing! This is our first time vacation in Milwaukee area .We got to know the owner by chance . She gave us delicious ? cookie as a complement. Thank you !By the way I see they do Thai tea on the menu , if you guys never had it before and want to experience this , then make your own way to this cafe . You won’t regret!!

Had a great and personable interaction with the barista with long hair and shaved sides of his head. We stumbled by here by chance because our car battery went out, and we were so comfortable here while waiting for our rescue.

This place was super cute! I loved the seating situation and the menu.I happened to come in when bacon had just been placed on the grill for another customer’s order. There didn’t seem to be any ventilation for the grill, and by the time I left about 30 minutes later the place smelled very strongly of bacon along with my hair and clothes. Granted I’m a vegetarian and more sensitive to smell than the average person, I just wanted to put it out there!
