    Cool atmosphere, but has been way too crowded the last few times I was there. Students and Silicon Valley sycophants flock here.

    They are excellent in making specialty foods like shrimp quesadilla and nutella crepe... But fail at making scramble eggs...

    The tiger spiced chai is tasty but super sweet. Probably more accurately classified as a dessert!

    The Vietnamese coffee isn't as strong an offering as their other drinks. It's not bad, though.
