I love this place. Best Vietnamese sandwiches! Great boba and matcha teas - just tried strawberry matcha tonight and it was fantastic! I am glad they opened so near where I live. It's already a family fav!

I was super excited to see a new place here on Central St in Evanston that offers two of my favorite things in one convenient location -- boba and banh mi! Had the strawberry matcha latte and chicken sandwich and neither disappointed. Nice chill atmosphere inside to sit and eat or hang out a bit to work/study alone or with a friend. Gotta bring my boba-obsessed kiddo!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outdoor Café absolutely blew me away!

I ordered a custom boba tea with Coconut Matcha and Strawberry, and it was an instant favorite. The flavors were perfectly balanced, creamy, and refreshing, with just the right sweetness. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy. The staff was friendly, fast, and genuinely passionate about their drinks. This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves creative, high-quality boba. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Classic Bahn Mi + Matcha Boba. 10/10. Both. Sandwich was amazing and the tea was great too. Out quick too. Nice ambiance inside. Good place to relax or study. Fairly empty.

I waited 15 minutes before they told me that they were out of chicken so I would have to order a different sandwich . I ordered the pork sausage sandwich then waited another 15 minutes for it when I finally got it there was a single slice of meat that was so thin you can see through it it cost me $12.50. Very long way for a piece of bread some lettuce cilantro, cabbage, and a single paper thin slice of meat

Nice place! Good atmosphere and service. The iced strawberry matcha was good! 👍

PD: Please install a changing station for babies in the bathroom! Parents going for walks with their babies will appreciate it so much 🙊❤️

Great little spot for boba, coffee, and banh mi! A much needed addition to the area bringing more variety to local selection.

Staff were extremely friendly and kept the cafe clean.

Would definitely recommend stopping here for lunch or a cold drink!

Stopped in to try a Thai iced tea with coffee jelly! It is AMAZING!!! so flavorful and delicious. My friend’s strawberry matcha was so so so yummy. The cafe is so cute and cozy. I can’t wait to try one of their banh mi sandwiches. So excited to have them in the neighborhood :)
