Good breakfast deal

From 9-11am the Bahn Mi is only 5,50€ which I think is a good deal. Bahn Mi was good in size and great in taste.

Big banh mi with complex flavors

The banh mi was big enough for two portions, and had a great mix of flavors from the spiced tofu, the pickled carrots, and the coriander. Nice outdoor seating and friendly atmosphere.

Great bahn mi

The vegan bahn mi is huge - enough for lunch for 2 of us - and the flavors were really nice and diverse. Would definitely come back.

Bánh Mi & Limettenrührkuchen 💚

Wir waren heute zum zweiten Mal im Cava. Das Bánh Mi war wieder super, der Cappuccino auch & es gibt zwei vegane Kuchen - Bananenbrot & Limettenrührkuchen - beides auch sehr lecker! 💚

Style Over Substance

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place based on my experience. We ordered two matcha lattes with oat milk and explicitly asked while ordering whether the matcha was sweetened. This was clearly denied multiple times by the staff member at the counter.
When the drinks arrived, the color already suggested low-quality matcha, and the smell was unusual. After one sip, it was obvious that the matcha was in fact sweetened. I went back to the counter to clarify this again. At first, the staff member denied it once more, before finally admitting that the matcha is sweetened and stating that I should have explicitly asked for it unsweetened - which I had already done.
What made the situation particularly frustrating was the lack of accountability: there was no apology, no offer to remake the drink without sweetener, and no refund. The interaction felt dismissive rather than customer-oriented. For me, transparency and clear communication especially regarding ingredients are essential.
Aside from the interior, which is admittedly very nicely designed, there wasn’t much that convinced me to stay. Most of the visually appealing cakes were not vegan, except for lemon cake and banana bread. The Bánh Mì might be good, but after this experience my appetite was gone.
Overall, a disappointing visit due to poor communication, lack of transparency, and unprofessional handling of feedback.

Banh mi wie in Vietnam

Leckeres veganes Banh Mi wie in Vietnam. Für den Cappuccino gibt es auch Pflanzenmilch ohne Aufpreis.
Etwas schade das hier Self Service ist und es nicht direkt ersichtlich ist. Mitarbeiter waren ok. Nicht besonders freundlich, aber auch nicht unfreundlich. Zwischen 9 und 11 Uhr kosten die Banh Mi nur 5,50€. Super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Gerne wieder

Very delicious vegan banh mi!

They offer an amazing, clearly vegan banh mi sandwich. Also very good Matcha Lattes with milk alternatives available. Spotted some vegan cake as well!

Pros: Banh mi, Mango Matcha Latte, Cozy seats
