"The bánh mì is one of the greatest takeout items in existence, but when it's filled with cumbersome hunks of grilled meat, you're bound to have some kind of mess. Not at this Vietnamese cafe in Georgetown. Their best sandwiches involve one long lemongrass-studded sausage patty—that way, the protein stays in place among the crackly bread, creamy mayo, and snips of fresh herbs. As for the tangy pickled carrot strands and countless baguette particles? Good luck if your car interior is made of fabric." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"A bánh mì is always a solid boat sandwich candidate—there’s something refreshing about sea-scented Seattle air combined with raw cucumber and pickled carrot matchsticks that makes for a real treat. Voi Cà Phê in Georgetown is one of the best spots in the area for a Vietnamese sandwich, be it filled with minty pork sausage or a bunch of cold cuts. Be sure to add on a stiff iced cinnamon phin latte for the captain." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This Vietnamese cafe serves some of the best bánh mì in Seattle, and they happen to serve terrific phin-dripped coffee as well. You can’t go wrong with a cinnamon-kicked iced latte topped with foam and an entire cinnamon stick, but there’s also a phở-spiced option that will thankfully not taste like soup. While you’re at it, grab a pork sausage bánh mì for lunch." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This Vietnamese cafe in Georgetown doesn’t serve too many types of bánh mì, but they're all worth a midday trip. The best baguette-swaddled beauty here is their lemongrass pork sausage patty—it’s garlicky and juicy with charred edges that peek out the sides of the crusty baguette. Along with a slick coating of mayo, tangy pickled vegetables, and a shake of black pepper, they also throw on sprigs of mint—it’s a genius addition that gives the sandwich a fresh pop you might appreciate if you’re part of the soapy cilantro collective." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This cafe in Georgetown doesn’t serve too many bánh mì types, but they make each one count. Seek out their pork sausage sandwich that comes on crackly bread and gets filled with a juicy and lemongrass-studded patty, a slick coating of mayo, tangy pickled vegetables, a shake of black pepper, and mint. The mint in particular is a genius addition, adding freshness that you might appreciate if you’re part of the soapy cilantro collective. It makes for a tremendous lunch that you’ll want to repeat five days a week." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, gabe guarente
