I'm always curious when small cafes try to do more than quick bites. So I had to come and try some of the Vietnamese Fusion Dishes on offer that were "Made to order by our very own Vietnamese chef with fresh ingredients from traditional family recipes".
Vietnamese Noodle Salad, Chicken- 10.5 5/5 ⭐ It is a light and refreshing vermicelli rice noodle salad in a tangy Vietnamese chilli & garlic dressing with fresh veg. It is filling and the dressing has a very nice flavour and spice blend.
Banh Mi - 10.5 3/5 ⭐ Asian-style baguette with sliced chicken breast, chilli sauce, cucumber, coriander, spring onions and a carrot & radish kimchi slaw, in a crunchy baguette. Nothing too special just a baguette with a different sauce added but still a very filling meal, so a nice meal if you wanted to try something a little different.
Fresh Vietnamese chicken Spring Rolls - 10.5 5/5⭐ Homemade rice paper rolls, packed with light vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumber spring onion and lettuce. Served with herbs and a hoisin peanut chilli dipping sauce. Love the sauce and it's a fresh, light meal.

The coffee was great too, with all the options you could want, decaf, a variety of non-dairy milk, sugar-free syrup etc. The only reason I dropped a star from atmosphere is because people were regularly using the door next to our table, which caused any paper or napkin on our table to be blown off the table. You can also order from your table via their website, which is super convenient and works well. I really recommend as a lovely place for breakfast, lunch, or...
