A good cafe with a focused menu does a few things well. Banh mi should have a crisp, light bread, fresh herbs and pickles, and a filling with plenty of flavour, so ask what is popular and what suits your taste. Coffee should be made fresh, and shakes are a good pairing on a warm day. Mornings and lunchtime can be busy, so allow time or order to take away. Regulars often settle on one favourite roll and one drink.
