The moment you step into this place, you're greeted by an atmosphere that instantly soothes the senses, enveloping you in a wave of tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. The culinary experience here is nothing short of divine, with every dish promising a burst of flavors that dance on your palate. On our visit, we couldn't resist the allure of their pork and chicken banh mi sandwiches, and it's safe to say, they did not disappoint. Each bite was a perfect harmony of savory meat, crisp vegetables, and fresh bread that we just couldn't get enough of.
But the delights didn't stop there. The Vietnamese black and white coffees were a revelation, offering a rich and robust flavor that invigorated our taste buds, making us appreciate the subtle art of coffee making. It was a caffeinated journey that was both bold and beautiful, and we found ourselves savoring every sip.
Our experience was so enchanting that, before leaving, we decided to take a piece of this culinary paradise with us in the form of a milk tea. It was the perfect sweet note to end our visit on, leaving us with a lingering taste of the exceptional offerings this place had to share.
I wholeheartedly suggest making your visit on a weekday. During these times, the place feels even more serene, with ample seating available to comfortably enjoy your meal. The service mirrors the overall essence of the place – calm, welcoming, and remarkably prompt, ensuring that your visit is as delightful as the food. If you're seeking a dining experience that feeds not just the body but also the soul, this hidden gem is undoubtedly the...
Read moreWe just discovered a great breakfast place in the area that we would like to add to our list! We went there this morning and were happy to see they open at 7 a.m. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming ambiance of the place. The interior was decorated with plenty of cute little plants, toys, snacks from Vietnam, dessert displays, and other elements that added to the place's charm. The owner greeted us with a smile, and we instantly felt comfortable.
We ordered Vietnamese Milk Coffee (Cafe Sua Da) and Egg Coffee (traditional Vietnamese coffee topped with whipped egg yolk cream). Both drinks were delicious. We also wanted to indulge in sweet treats and ordered egg yolk cake and caramel mousse. The egg yolk cake was a sponge cake with bits of salted egg yolk and dried chicken floss on top of a condensed milk cream. The combination of sweetness and saltiness was perfect and not overly sweet. The caramel mousse was creamy and subtly sweet, which we enjoyed.
As their food was only available from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., we opted for Banh Mi Sandwiches, which were also great. The fresh veggies added crunchiness to the perfectly seasoned beef and pork served in Vietnamese baguette sandwiches.
We had a wonderful breakfast experience and plan to return to try other...
Read moreI recently visited Bon Bon’s Cakery & Café in Fairfax, VA, and was thoroughly impressed. I called in to order some food in the morning, and everything was ready promptly when I arrived. The café itself has a modern yet cozy vibe, blending traditional Vietnamese elements with a contemporary touch. The staff was extremely friendly, making the experience welcoming.
I ordered two dishes: xôi mặn (savory sticky rice) and bánh mì xíu mại (meatball sandwich). They only had one xôi mặn left, so I opted for bò kho (beef stew) as my second dish, which turned out to be an excellent surprise—rich, flavorful, and hearty. The egg coffee was also a standout; smooth and rich, it was a perfect way to start the day.
What I love most about this place is how they combine authentic Vietnamese flavors with modern touches. The menu is diverse, offering something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for a meal, snack, or coffee. The prices are also very reasonable, especially given the quality of the food.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I will definitely be coming back regularly. Bon Bon’s Cakery & Café is a gem in Fairfax, blending great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere....
