Crema's Take

This Vietnamese sandwich shop wins hearts with killer Vietnamese iced coffee and fresh smoothies (mango, avocado, strawberry, and Thai tea with boba are all standouts) that pair perfectly with their boldly-flavored grilled pork and beef banh mi sandwiches. The team's genuine warmth shines through in thoughtful touches like the red envelopes they hand out during Lunar New Year, and you'll notice the care they take in every detail—from the crispy egg rolls to the quick service and spotless counter. It's a family-friendly spot near the U of M where you can grab something delicious and feel genuinely welcomed without breaking the bank.

Great flavor, portion, and price on the sandwiches. I get the grilled pork with everything but the pâté. Spicy sause is actually spicy. Vietnamese iced coffee is killer and avocado smoothies can’t be found anywhere else nearby.

We tried the avacado, mango, strawberry and Thai tea with boba drinks. Thai tea was good (4/5), avocado smoothie with boba(4/5), strawberry smoothie no boba(3.5/5).

I didn’t realize there was a kiosk to the right when you enter so I ordered with the staff. They were very sweet and even gave us red envelopes since it was just recently Lunar New Year. Their egg rolls are always nice and crispy. The banh mi was good but there were often huge chunks of cilantro and jalapeños in it. The fish sauce for the bowl somehow tasted minty but was otherwise very clean/ refreshing and was what we were looking for

The Grilled beef and mango smoothie were delicious. Service was quick and the store was really clean. My only complaint is the jalapeño slices are cut a bit too thick for my liking but otherwise 10/10, would recommend.

we were near the University of Minnesota and were looking for something to eat and online recommendations suggested Lus sandwich so decided to check it out. they are vietnamese based but have an open concept similar to chipotle so you can modify your meal to your preference we got the spring rolls with curry tofu and the curry tofu banh mi. we have had both before at other vietnamese places and for me they were better at Lus because the tofu had flavor and spice and that added flavor to the entire meal. was it traditional, no but it was tasty. portion size was good and service was average
