Lovely little cafe with nice coffee. I also bought a few frozen meals from the freezer to take home. The green chicken curry was superb, and I just cooked up some Jasmin rice to go with it. Yet to try the massaman beef but it looks great and generous serves.

Busy local cafe. Bánh mì is absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the 40 minutes drive Highly recommended

This cafe is a relaxed & welcoming spot that does more than just great coffee and juices! Along with their smooth brews, they offer a range of ready-made meals like pies, rolls & sandwiches in the fridge, & offering drinks like smoothies, coffee, and fresh juices. What really stands out is the Vietnamese twist they bring to their menu — from delicious banh mi & bun bowls to flavour-packed broken rice / noodle dishes - they also have ready made frozen Viet meals! The space feels open and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a catch-up. Personally, their giant banh mi is easily one of the best I had on the Sunny Coast — damn generous with the fillings, full of vibrant flavour through their butter & pâté; super satisfying. Highly recommended!

Henry, Roxy and the team know exactly how to hit the spot, soothe the soul and reset your nervous system before you walk back out the door. From the coffee to the food to the service, this local gem in Marcoola lives up to its name. We have never had a bad experience and come here multiple times a week.

My family of 5 and I have been eating banh mi and pho here for over 2 years and it has never disappointed us. It's clean and great. The prices are quite cheap compared to all the places in Sunshine Coast that I've been to. I'm sure it won't disappoint you.

Stuart Buck From Google 5

Really good banh mi. The bread had the perfect consistency, still fluffy with just the right amount of light crispyness. Had the crispy port banh mi. Was really really good. Best banh mi I've had on the Sunshine coast. Rice paper rolls were also very good.

Stellina Gunn From Google 5

Very tasty banh mi and good iced coffee. The service was friendly and attentive. A great local cafe - lots of people popping in for their takeaway lunch.

Michelle McIntosh From Google 5

The BEST banh mi on the coast! They also sell great coffee, lots of different smoothies and juices, Vietnamese rice paper rolls and baked goods. They also have some normal Aussie brekkies too.
