I’ve been getting banh mi from Cafe Cuong for over 15 years, they have the best banh mi in town. However, last time I went in 2025, the young guy at the counter overcharged $5…this is not about the 5 bucks that he try to steal, it’s about even with loyal customers, he’s still trying to to screw over. Really smart running the business..I stop going!
Strong viet coffee on the go, bring cash!
Fantastic chicken banh mi! Surprisingly good, hits the spot and very flavorful. Perfect portion as well for the price.

Cafe Cuong is a friendly and welcoming restaurant known for its superb banh mi sandwiches and strong Vietnamese coffee. Customers praise the owner's chill demeanor and helpful recommendations. The bread is crunchy and fresh, while the meat is simple yet delicious. The chicken banh mi is a standout favorite, with other options like BBQ pork also consistently traditional and tasty. The lemongrass grilled meat is flavorful, and the Vietnamese condensed milk coffee is a must-try. Visitors highly recommend this spot for authentic Viet cuisine in New York. The shop is clean, with friendly staff who are both professional and kind. The banh mi are freshly made, with warm bread and fresh fillings, and are very affordable at around $9-10. The hot cafe with condensed milk is not too sweet and perfect for cooler days. The service is great, with staff being super friendly and approachable, and they accept Venmo. The space is cute but small, making it a nice spot to enjoy banh mi with friends if possible. Customers say it’s the best banh mi they’ve had, even better than awards-winning places elsewhere, with good pate, meats, and a good roll. The quick service makes it a perfect choice for breakfast after a long overnight flight, offering excellent banh mi and coffee. Overall, this place makes visitors happy to experience good Vietnamese food in a cozy setting.
