Crema's Take

“This no-frills Vietnamese spot in Philadelphia delivers authentic banh mi and silky Vietnamese iced coffee that keep locals coming back, though the cash-only policy and limited banh mi varieties mean you get one thing done really well rather than endless options. The cozy interior belies its modest storefront, and prices are remarkably affordable for a quick lunch or leisurely sit, though be prepared for brisk service and a straightforward approach to hospitality. If you're looking for genuine Vietnamese flavors and don't mind a tight, honest neighborhood spot, this is worth seeking out—just come hungry and with cash.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Cash only.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is clean and cozy. Very affordable - I had a lunch of banh xeo & iced coffee, and got a steamed bun (meat and egg filled) and sticky rice to go, it came to $12

We always come for the hoagie and coffee, grab and go. Don't be fooled by the lackluster neighborhood and surrounding area, Vinh Long Cafe is an amazing Vietnamese cafe and restaurant that is surely overlooked and underrated. It is a secret gem in South Philly. The Vietnamese…
