"The next time you want to dive into a book, have a memorable meal, and forget the rest of the world exists, come to this Vietnamese coffee shop in Kensington. While it’s perfect for a solo patbingsu parfait, they also have long tables great for a group to share the oniony broken rice porridge, cha fries that come covered with salsa roja and fried eggs, or crispy chicken bánh mì coated with a sweet gochu glaze. Pair any of them with a dessert-worthy custard-layered egg coffee (made from beans sourced from Vietnam)." - alison kessler
