Evelyn's Coffee & Banh Mi

New location at Lock 3 is perfect! There's directions to locate the new building on their Insta. I've missed Evelyn's and so happy they were able to reopen. The Cafe area is cozy and bright, and there's additional seating across the hall and outside.

Came searching for Bahn Mi, found an amazing assortment of our favorite Vietnamese food! Plus, delicious and unique coffee/matcha flavors. Great prices and friendly staff. They made #1 in our list of favorite restaurants.

Highly recommend!! My banh mi sandwich was outstanding. Very delicious and affordable. I got the Korean beef, it tasted fresh and flavorful. You can get it with or without jalapenos. I also enjoyed my shaken espresso. They have a large menu for drinks and food. The Kitchen starts offering food at 10:30am. I'm excited to come back and try something new on the menu. There's about 5 or 6 tables and a bar area. Plenty of space to work remotely. They also have free Wi-Fi and areas to charge a computer. I didn't see a public bathroom.

Really yummy food and coffee! We struggled to find the new location but it's under the parking garage! On the same level as the lock 3 stage! I would recommend the papaya salad and banh mi, there was only one table when we went but I would love to watch them grow

Love the atmosphere at Lock 3, so I didn't mind the walk down. Great tea offerings, as well as coffee and lunch menu. Friendly service and good matcha. I think it would help this place could put a sign on Center street? I parked on Center and then walked down, not knowing exactly where I was going.

Very cool spot in downtown Akron in the Basement of an old office building. Cool atmosphere and plenty of seating. Vietnamese coffee is very different and very good. Drink it slow so the ice can melt and dilute the strength. Sweet too. Very good!!

Checked out this awesome now Mom and Pop place in downtown Akron. Tucked into an unassuming corner with free parking off to the side, this is a cute little coffee shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, sweet, strong and creamy. They also have traditional coffee items and pastries as well as some authentic southeast Asian street foods like multiple varieties of Ban Mi sandwiches. My favorite was the chicken meatball but we also enjoyed the Dac Biet. There was no jalapeños in the sandwiches, but I didn't miss them. Taro milk tea with Boba was creamy and delicious, not too sweet which I appreciated. Papaya Salad was delicious--crunchy tart and and refreshing. We also enjoyed the Vietnamese salad, and actually enjoyed putting it into our Banh Mi's. My kids went to town on the Boba tea. The staff were polite and professional and hygienic precautions were followed. There is no sit down dining for now but they say that they will open it up as the pandemic hopefully lessens. Overall this is a great place, priced right, locally owned and cooks who are literally like little Vietnamese moms and dads. Well worth a visit! I wish I lived closer.

A quaint little mom and pop shop that serves consistently good food and coffee. I’ve eaten everything on the menu here, but my absolute favorites are the Kimbap and the Korean beef Banh Mi! I’m a transplant from Seattle and it’s nice to have a spot with Korean food so close to my work. I have to laugh at some of comments from folks saying the workers are unpleasant - the folks here are just as nice as you are to them, and I’ve never had anything but delightful conversation. Santhee and Demi are hilarious and lovely!
