Nomad Cafe

Love, love, loooove this cafe! Nomad is everything that you could ever want in a local neighborhood cafe! They’ve got delicious drinks, incredible food, outstanding service, great vibes, and they know their customers. I’ve been coming here for quite sometime now and I’ve never had a bad experience here. My ultimate fave: Enjoying their chai latte and a pork chop banh mi on the patio. This combo is a win-win for me every single time. Recently, I’ve branched out of my norm and have become obsessed with their matcha latte and other banh mi’s as well. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything that you try here. It’s always gonna be the bomb.com! What really seals the deal for me is the excellent customer service. The staff is so sweet and efficient. The owner Bee is an absolute gem! That fact that he remembers me and goes out of his way to say hi even when he’s busy working is truly an honor. I’m writing this review as I’m sitting here on the patio having lunch because I’m just so impressed. Thank you to Bee and the wonderful staff of Nomad Cafe who make coming here so enjoyable! The neighborhood (and I) truly appreciate you all!

Very affordable, friendly atmosphere, open when other places are closed. Good, broad menu selection. The servers are SO nice. Such a pleasure to interact with them. The ingredients are super fresh and delicious. The bread for the banh mi is clearly baked same day, and all of their vegetables are crisp and vividly colored. Update in 2025: Wi and Bi are as friendly and lovely as ever. This is still the best place to get a banh mi. We adore them! BE HERE

They got the best hot lattee in town and huge banana bread. So between the two of them, your daily calorie is taken care of🤣

Nomad Cafe is a small local shop with delicious sandwiches, baked goods, and coffee! I’ve had their chicken and pork bahn mi and each component of the sandwich was perfect, especially the bread. The displayed baked goods always entice me to add one onto my order and they pair perfectly with a cup of their coffee. This is my go-to spot for bahn mi!

They make some of the BEST spicy tofu banh mi’s and breakfast sandwiches. My go to drink orders are their Thai Tea or Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything else is solid. Really excellent local spot.

I love that they have lots of vegan food options and plant milks. I get the the tofu banh mi with vegan mayo at least once a week

Nomad Cafe is a neighborhood staple. The owners and staff are always friendly and they learn your name quickly if you visit regularly. We've been patrons of nomad for ~5 years and we eat their banh mi sandwiches at least once a week. Thus, they've also memorized our order. As a 9-year vegetarian, their tofu banh mi is one of the best I've ever had. The veggies are fresh and let me tell you -- they do NOT skimp on bread quality. Have you ever had Semifreddi's bread? (Think: fresh baked bread shelves at Berkeley bowl) Well, that is the bread you'll get with the banh mi and it is perfection (not like the styrofoam vehicles for veggies that you might get from other spots). At any rate, I buy a banh mi every time I go for a day hike, and it's because they are quality, well-wrapped, well-presented sandwiches. If you look at my photos, I took them AFTER hiking 5 miles uphill and throwing my backpack around a few times. You'll notice: the banh mi looks perfectly ready to be eaten - next to a stream in the redwoods. Many thanks to Nomad for powering me through hikes, bike rides, and at least one super long trail run :)

Great spot for a quick breakfast, the lox sandwich was packed with veggies and the sausage breakfast sandwich was pretty tasty. The bakery items in the morning seemed like they were from yesterday but we're still good. Quick simple breakfast for on the go. Nothing too flashy here.
