"Owners Yeanie Bach and Phi Pham have been busy during the pandemic, transforming their Vietnamese coffee pop-up into a brick-and-mortar location. Phinista Cafe took over the former Neighborhoods Coffee and Crepes in Fenway, and it — along with its sibling restaurant, Bánh Mì Ơi (more below) — is turning out some of the best banh mi in the city. Versions include cold cut, grilled barbecue pork, grilled barbecue chicken, crispy shrimp, and tofu, and a vegan version is in the works. Phinista Cafe is open for takeout, with delivery via Grubhub beginning soon." - Terrence Doyle
