"The Sandwich Hag, or simply the Hag, at the Cedars in Dallas is no stranger to stirring up the food scene, especially after the recognition as 2023 James Beard semifinalist for best chef in Texas. Traditional cà phê or Vietnamese coffee is on the drinks menu as “the first cà phê shop in all of Dallas” with focus exclusively on Vietnam grown coffee beans. From Wednesday through Saturday, different styles of cà phê will be served in collaboration with other small local businesses." - Didi Paterno
"Sandwich Hag, recognized by the James Beard Awards, is known for its banh mi, strong Vietnamese coffee, and daily chef’s specials. The restaurant also stands out for its policies of no substitutions and no assholes, and its commitment to community and activism, including standing against racism and supporting staff with different abilities. Chef Reyna Duong announced that the restaurant will stop serving lunch as of May 18 but emphasized that Sandwich Hag will not cease to exist and will continue its mission in other forms." - Courtney E.

"Reyna Duong of Sandwich Hag and Jinny Cho of Detour Doughnuts in Frisco (very much worth the drive) teamed up to start chimlanh Coffee Shop, which runs at Sandwich Hag on weekends. It serves Vietnamese coffee (made with beans primarily sourced from Nguyen Coffee Supply), doughnuts, and a heavy dose of activism in support of community, women- and Black-owned businesses, and amplification of the rights of disabled people." - Courtney E.

"This Cedars spot has bánh mì options that include griddled-to-order ginger tofu or chicken, pork, and fried eggs along with specials like chicken curry soup and nem sausage nuggets. Order at the window, grab a seat at one of the outdoor picnic tables under the hanging bird cages, and go to town. While it’s a great lunch spot, swing by before 3pm on Wednesday through Sunday for their Chimlanh cà phê shop. Get one of their Vietnamese coffee drinks but don’t forget one of the sweets like an oatmeal pie or jumbo strawberry rice krispie treat. " - Lee Escobedo
