Crema's Take
“Tucked away on Christie Avenue in Emeryville, this family-owned spot has earned a devoted following for its generous fruit-forward teas loaded with real fruit chunks and its delicious Vietnamese fare—from shrimp spring rolls to flavorful vermicelli bowls. The welcoming atmosphere and remarkably affordable prices make it ideal for a quick coffee grab or lingering conversation, with genuinely sweet service that keeps locals coming back and recently reopened with renewed daily hours.”

Supporting local business in Emeryville. Note that this place is on Christie opposite to FedEx, not inside the public market. The noodles, while not the best pho in the bay area, they are decent. Both noodles they served came with delicious broth. Unlike many pho places, these didn't leave you with a dry mouth. Wish their beef can be softer and more tendered - that's the only (but critical) place to lose shine. You know - always room for improvement. Can't wait to come back and try their banh mi.
Great small local business. The food is delicious and price is reasonable! 2025/10 updates: Not sure if they changed the owner or so. The menu is different and the foods also taste completely different. I order shrimp spring roll but the sauce has heavy coconut flavor which I am not the fan of that. I like the old menu and foods much better.
Bought some fruit teas here and they were delicious. Huge chunks of fruit plus the service was amazing. Very sweet lady at small local coffee shop.
I love the shrimp spring rolls. I love the Vietnamese sandwiches. I love the flavorful drinks. This place is family owned, and now open again every day. Really nice people and the lowest prices in town these days.
I’ve noticed the sidewalk sign for the last few weeks and finally stopped in today. I had the vermicelli noodle plate with chicken. It was delicious! Everything tasted very fresh and it came with a good portion of sauce on the side. Will be back.
