Walked in and visited Cafe Au Lait while across the street at the local plant shop and needed a little caffeine boost. The cafe itself is pretty simple with a menu spanning a variety of drinks. There were also small bites available but I was only interested in a coffee. Vietnamese Coffee When I ordered the Viet coffee, I had the choice to choose between hot or iced. It was a really warm day and I almost always opt for a cold drink anyways so I asked for it iced. The coffee took about 5 min before it was ready. I was one of only two people in the cafe so it came out quickly. Flavor wise, I enjoyed it. It wasn't as dark, strong, or bitter as other Viet coffees I've had but I was okay with it. It was lightly sweet and I drank through it quite quickly to be honest. The only thing is that it could have used more ice. Usually when f I ask for an iced drink, I would expect it to come out cold but it seemed only a little bit of ice was iced so when the coffee was poured in, it melted almost all the ice and the temp was Luke warm at best

This place was literally my childhood. I remember back in middle school when my friends and I used to come here after school, and we get a smoothie and pastry and just sit outside in the patio for hours doing homework and talking. Since I've been back they have updated their menu extensively and they have so many new breakfast items!

Delicious iced Thai tea and friendly service! Easy convenient parking. Looking forward to returning soon.

Cute little coffee shop that makes fancy coffee drinks and various breakfast sandwiches. They don't have a ton of choices but enough to have a nice quick breakfast. There is a nice covered back patio area where you can sit and eat your breakfast as well
