Merge Cafe (Stafford) — Restaurant in Virginia

It's an ok spot. My husband had been craving Vietnamese sandwiches so we decided to try it out. Decently priced food and beverages but after experiencing legit California Vietnamese sandwiches I was expecting a different taste to the banh mi. Ordered the beef bulgogi and the chicken. I was super excited based on the rave reviews of the bulgogi banh mi but it was just ok. I couldn't really place the taste as it didn't taste authentically Korean while the chicken tasted more Mediterranean spiced than Asian. For both sandwiches we also expected more of a pickled flavor to the veggie toppings but they were just basic.

Ordered a horchata boba as well since it's rare to see that on a boba menu. Boba was nice and chewy and the horchata flavor was mild but had a weird aftertaste. Might go back if ever I'm in the area to try a different flavor and...

I gave this cafe about an hour after opening. It wasn't too busy and the seating areas were clean. I didn't have to wait long for my order either!

The grilled chicken Bahn mi was delicious with the sweet pickled veggies and crispy bread. As for the grilled chicken, it didn't have much salt for me and the most notable flavor would be cumin just on the crust (I'm not sure it was marinated). Still, I ate it all because it was tasty!

The Moon Cloud drink was wonderful! It was very refreshing and not overly sweet or pungent with the lavender milk. It had yogurt poppers that provided a tangy pop of sweet/sour flavor too.

Overall, I had a nice experience. The food was delicious and the staff were very welcoming too! I'd recommend you give them a visit, at least to try one of the many drink...

Located in a small, crowded strip mall. It's the store on the far right of the building. Their store front is completely covered in white. The parking lot is very cramped and was full at dinnertime.

They offer 2 sub options, American style or Asian fusion style. They offer a ton of options for boba tea, infused tea, and coffee. They also offer non-dairy milk for the boba teas.

We had a ham and a chicken Banh Mi. The pickled veggies are really tasty. Not overwhelming with vinegar. Generous amount of meat and veggies on the sub. Very good!

To drink we had a peach, rose, green tea and the sunset to midnight tea. We didn't get any add-ins, but the options looked really good. Both drinks were sweeter than we expected, but they were still very tasty and refreshing.
