This place is THE place! I’ve been more than a handful of times and it’s a 10/10 every time. I highly recommend attending Tu’s Vietnamese night on Tuesdays for a special treat. Both Will and Tu create magic every day they are open. Whether it is the flavorful broths, perfect bowls, delicious bao, or any breakfast dish…you will not be disappointed.
The coffee is impeccable!
In a time where it matters where you spend your money, we want a partner in our community. An establishment that pays living wages, offers internships, and always shows up for their community.
We are lucky to have such a gem.

Amazing food and coffee with excellent service! Came for the lunch Banh Mi and it did not disappoint! I have high expectations for banh mi as well, being Vietnamese myself. The bread was soft but had a nice crispiness, and the picked veggies were on point. Highly recommend.

Exceptional experience all around! We came in as a large group, and while the restaurant was already bustling with activity, things moved quickly to get us our coffees and food. Service was friendly and efficient, and my dirty chai was delicious without being overly sweet!
Every dish we ate was delicious and filling. I had the breakfast shakshuka, which came out quickly and not in a traditional preparation, but the flavors were spot on and the portion hearty. I couldn’t decide between the fried breakfast potatoes or cheesy grits, so went with both which was the right call. The potatoes had the ideal crunch and the grits were both unique and comfortingly familiar. My friend had the harvest bowl, which was a beautiful combination of ingredients that worked well together in every bite.
They also had a lovely selection of pastries and bagels that I will definitely be returning to sample. The space is also very cool, a modern industrial feel that wouldn’t be out of place on a bustling corner in Brooklyn, and other cool businesses to browse while you digest.This spot is definitely the highlight of all the culinary experiences that we have had in this region, and we can’t wait to come back!

This newly opened cafe/restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere and a diverse menu with something for everyone. I highly recommend their Americano – it was truly excellent, surpassing many others I’ve had. I also sampled a pistachio croissant, which had a lovely soft and chewy texture, though the pistachio flavor was a bit subtle.
Beyond the delicious food and drinks, this spot boasts ample parking and very reasonable prices. The outdoor seating area provides a beautiful view, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your meal.
Whether you’re looking for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break, this cafe is definitely worth a visit.

Personally, I’ve only been for breakfast. I’ve heard it’s better for dinner. I sure hope so because I left feeling unsatisfied by the measly yogurt parfait that I ordered. Perhaps the shakshuka that someone else in my group ordered would have been better. Service is kind of slow but fine. On the whole, wouldn’t come back again.

Came here for a girl’s weekend with a party of 9 for lunch. Tu was incredibly communicative and kind when our party changed booking date and time. The food itself is authentic, fresh, deeply flavorful and nourishing. I can’t wait to find myself back at State soon!

Had the pleasure of grabbing a quick dinner here after visiting BCP next door. Very friendly owners and chef. Food was super tasty, and the chef even sent us a special app! Try the claypot, it was exquisite! We will be back again!

WORST SERVICE OF MY LIFE.
Food never came. It took 7 minutes to get seated, 20 minutes until they took our order. The waitress was incredibly rude and the manager was very unhelpful. We decided to walk out and just pay for our drinks since the food hadn’t come yet and it had been an hour. The manager told us they hadn’t started it yet and it would be out in another 10-15 minutes. We ordered the check to leave and the manager tried to charge us 87 dollars for the food we had not even gotten. Then the cook came out to yell at us. Everyone had an attitude. There are many other good options in the area but this is one to skip.

We really wanted to support this place! The items on the menu are ambiguous. I ordered a bowl and it came as a cold green salad with an egg on it. I was going to just suck it up and eat it, but as I was eating it, I liked it less than less. The server never came back to see how things were. We had empty water glasses. She finally came back and left us the check and we asked the question About the item on the menu. She got the chef to come out and he was very argumentative with us. Asking why we waited so long to complain about it. We told him that the server never came back. Never filled our water glasses either. He continued to challenge us… Why did you eat the potatoes? Really a humiliating experience. We had asked to get a burrito instead and waited a solid 20-30 minutes and it never came even though the server said it should be out in a few minutes. Finally, after 30 minutes, she came back out again and said do you still want the burrito? We said oh my God we ordered it a half an hour ago. They said they could still make it for us. We opted to leave. Bummer. Note: they did take 50% off but I left hungry and needed to go to another restaurant

First time visiting and really enjoyed it. Went for brunch. It was steady busy on a Sunday morning, but not crowded. The staff and owner were more than attentive. The food was SO good. I was happy they had dairy free options. Definitely going to try dinner next time I am in town.
