- Strawberry matcha latte was very pretty, not too pulpy, good sweetness balance. The match was still a little chalky but not bad. - Mango green tea with mango popping boba was extremely refreshing. Recommend the 75% sweetness level.
Ambience is great to work, not too busy duirh certain hours

Ordered take out iced coffee with boba and the bahn mi sandwich with tofu. The marinated tofu in it was delicious as well as the coffee with sugar free caramel syrup. I also ordered the blended coconut beverage with 0% sugar as I will add my own stevia or monk fruit sweetener. I’ll be back fosho 😋

Solid banh mi and delicious bubble tea. The banh mi bread is nice and soft, compared to most french bread, but still very structured with a good crisp on the outside. I really appreciate them having evening hours. Great spot for a quick fresh meal and work session, or drinks with a friend.

Banh mi sandwich bread is stale, hard as a rock with little or no flavor. Disappointing. I ordered five sandwiches they all were stale underfilled and minimal flavor. I asked for extra sauce on every sandwich and it still has minimal flavor.

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!
Great bahn mi sandwich, friendly service, and a well-designed space! Thrilled to have another solid option on Central.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 🙊❤️
