Crema's Take

This cozy Vietnamese cafe near Safeway in Arlington is a hidden gem that nails the fundamentals—their beef vermicelli features tender, flavorful meat and generous portions, while their iced Vietnamese coffee is a standout worth ordering on its own. The space itself invites you to linger with its cute, calm aesthetic and shoe-off seating area, making it equally perfect for a solo work session or lingering with friends over creative fusion dishes like their chicken tacos. Just know that consistency can be spotty depending on when you visit, but when they're on, the quality and welcoming energy make it worth the trip.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great hidden gem! Craving Vietnamese food and found this place on my way home. I didn’t have much expectations and I’m so happy to stumble upon it. It’s a cozy cafe that is tucked away near the Safeway. It’s super cozy and gives PNW vibes. One person was working on their laptop.…

Cutely decorated Vietnamese restaurant/cafe. I tried the chicken tacos, which seemed like a fusion of flavors that worked well together. The iced Vietnamese coffee was delicious too. You can make origami swans while waiting that the restaurant may hang up.
