Cafe$

Vietnam meets your local cafe at this west-side newcomer run by a super friendly couple. Coconut milk adds a tropical splash to Vietnamese iced coffee and appears again as a cooling scoop of ice-cream on toasted Publique shokupan. Brunch classics such as smashed avocado and granola are kept simple, much like the clean and calming fit-out.

Must order: Saigon pan – fried eggs, pâté and Vietnamese stir-fried beef, with a fluffy baguette for dipping.
