"Vietnamese cafe Cicada (Eater’s best new cafe of 2021), is the place to go to unplug, sip a sea salt-topped coffee sweetened with condensed milk, and eat noodle salad or banh mi, perhaps with a funky glass of wine on the side. Definitely try to grab a seat in the beautiful garden hidden out back." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams, Valerie Li Stack
"Lively and artsy and full of tropical greenery, not to mention furniture restored by co-founder and chef Vinh Le, Vietnamese restaurant and coffee bar Cicada transports its diners thousands of miles away with dishes like black rice dressed with mushrooms and eggplant, noodle salad topped with cured salmon, and a selection of banh mi. In warmer weather, definitely snag a spot in the peaceful back garden." - Eater Staff
"Twelve Boston-area chefs and restaurants made the cut, including Vinh Le of Vietnamese hot spot Cicada Coffee Bar in Cambridge." - Erika Adams
