"The next time you want to dive into a book, have a memorable breakfast or lunch, and forget the rest of the world exists, come to this Vietnamese coffee shop in Kensington. They even have long tables so you can bring a group of friends here to start your day with oniony broken rice porridge, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches on long rolls, 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 custard-layered egg coffee (made from beans sourced from Vietnam and roasted on site)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"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
"The next time you’re craving a fancy coffee drink, a memorable Vietnamese meal, or just need to get away from your screaming children, come to this cafe in Kensington. They source their beans from Vietnam and other Southeast and East Asian regions and roast them right on-site. The menu is extensive, but when you want your espresso and dessert at the same time, go for the creamy custard-layered egg coffee. And if you’re avoiding caffeine, have no fear—they have a fantastic assortment of options like a tart guava sparkler." - alison kessler
"A Philadelphia-based roaster that sources both arabica and robusta beans from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries; co-owner Thu Pham notes that arabica is prized for its complex, varied tasting notes—ranging from chocolate to citrus—and typically presents as more acidic, sweeter and fruitier than robusta, which has contributed to arabica’s long-standing specialty status." - Liz Provencher
"Càphê Roasters is the weekday breakfast MVP. The Kensington cafe has everything from Vietnamese coffee (made from beans that they roast on-site) to breakfast sandwiches so good that you'll want to make this your official work-from-home location. Grab a frothy egg coffee, spicy potatoes, or crispy fried chicken bánh mì covered in a syrupy gochu glaze, and hang out at any of their long tables in the bright space. It’s an easygoing place to bring a big group of friends, but also works if you just want to have a solo meal and do some light reading." - candis mclean, alison kessler
