This was my first scallion pancake — it’s crispy more like an egg roll, no fluffiness of a flap-jack style pancake.
The restaurant is located right on the corner — it’s a little hard to find if you don’t know what to look for, but it’s right there in the lowest level on the corner.
Grab a menu on your way in, order at the counter, find a cozy seat (whether you define cozy as a couch, lounger, window table, round table for a larger party, etc). There’s a variety of great options.
Pictured here are the vegan tofu and hickory smoked bacon sandwiches.
The seating setup is ideal if you actually plan to be productive. There is a couch for lounging, tables if you want to spread out, and counter seating if you are more in and out. It strikes that rare balance of feeling cozy without being cramped and energetic without being distracting. A great spot for thinking through answers, calming nerves, or just pretending you are the main character with a notebook and coffee.
I went for breakfast and ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee with ube, which was excellent. It was sweet but not overly sweet, balanced, and honestly very drinkable. The ube added depth without turning it into dessert, which I appreciated since I was there to function, not spiral into a sugar crash.
For food, I got their breakfast scallion pancake sandwich, vegetarian, no kimchi. I love kimchi, but only when it is grilled, and I did not want to risk it mid prep session. The sandwich was scallion pancake, steamed fluffy egg, and cheese, and it was delicious. Simple, comforting, and satisfying. It comes with a side of chili crisp, which added just the right amount of heat and texture. Interview outcome pending, but the coffee and breakfast absolutely delivered.
At $10.50 a sandwich I feel like they could really include kimchi without charging an extra $2.50, and two hashbrowns for $6 was a bit much as well. The pancake was crispy but light on scallions and overall pretty greasy, particularly when you add the chili oil to the mix. I also wish the chili oil came in reusable ramekins rather than single use plastic containers.
On the other hand, the decor is nice inside and the brown butter sage coffee was excellent. They take InKind, so don’t miss out on the 20% cashback through the app.
The Kimchi pancake is a must-order — perfectly crispy on the outside, flavorful, and seasoned just right.I wish they kept the original cucumber salad, but the chickpeas aren’t bad. I also love their Ube Vietnamese Coffee, which is creamy and unique, and the Orange Espresso Tonic totally surprised me in the best way — refreshing with the perfect citrus kick.
The service can be a little slow during busy times, but honestly, it’s worth the wait. Between the quality of the food, the inventive drinks, and the calm atmosphere, Any Day Now is one of my go-to spots.
