Our go to lunch spot. If you had a fun weekend, the double spicy juice is a great detox juice and it is spicy- amazing!! I love to get the fresh shrimp rolls which are made to order (get extra spicy sauce). The staff is always friendly and they are quick to get orders out. You can also order ahead. We’ve tried a lot on the menu and it’s all good! You won’t be disappointed.

This is a hidden gem café deli type eatery that sits on the side of a theatrical recreational center. If you drive on the street you will definitely miss the place. It’s more of a local spot to get breakfast, brunch, lunch, early dinner and healthy drink options such as real fruit blends with veggies. Banh mi ( Vietnamese sandwich) is served here too. And other sandwiches from roast beef to breakfast eggs and cheese croissants. Salad bowls, juices, coffee, and light snacks are other available options. Service is relatively quick and food is bountifully good for the price. A great local spot for the locals making a stop from a jog, a run, dog walk, neighborhood walk, baby strolling walk and bike ride. Like the store name. Fresh and best!!

Ordered the chicken wrap. Spicy Mayo was great and they did a great job at the equal distribution of the fresh ingredients throughout the wrap! Yummy. Looking forward to returning to try their salads. They have reasonable prices for the area too.

I love Fresh and Best Cafe 2!! I buy lunch here about twice each week, on average. The food is tasty, fresh, and good quality, for a moderate price (not cheap and not expensive). The service is friendly and attentive! They get busy at lunch, so I arrive there by 11:40 to place my order and I’m out of there in 10 -15 minutes. If I arrive at 12 or 12:15, I find it takes longer for them to make my order because by 12, they have so many orders.

I was craving for a Vietnamese sandwich and I saw this place have great reviews so I decided to try it out. We ordered 3 sandwiches, bbq pork, ground pork with egg and the combo. All three were SPECTACULAR…the best vietnamese sandwiches Ive had by far. I was completely satisfied and not at all disappointed. The bread was fresh, the veggies were crunchy and well marinaded and the meat was very good. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. I will be coming back here many more times in the future.

We got a few Bahn Mi sandwiches and a strawberry-banana smoothie. The sandwiches were pretty big. The filling was plentiful – I just wished there were more pickled daikan with the carrots! The bread was still crunchy even after a few hours – these were purchased in the morning to be eaten near noon midway of a hike.

Pretty good n very, very large ban mi. Makes it worth the price. Quaint n a little sparse, but on point for a Vietnamese American spot. I’ll be back!

BEST vegetarian bahn mi I’ve ever had. I have tried spicy lemongrass gluten and tofu mushroom, but I’m sure the curry bean curd is just as amazing. The service is also great, so sweet and patient even when there’s a long line. I’ve also never had to wait long for my foot even when it’s busy.

you get a ton of food and all of your necessary vitamins and minerals for a pretty damn good price of $8. highly support the ladies that work here, they have a wide selection so it’s good to come here multiple times. really hope they keep it up and perhaps a good place to get some work done if you like a rustic environment

This may look like a standard bánh mì but honestly, I think it’s the best I have EVER had. BBQ pork bánh mì are probably my favorite food of all time, and I am constantly on the hunt for the best. Having tried them all over the Bay, I have to say, this little gem of a cafe might be it for me! You should know before going that the pork sandwiches come with pate (which may have been the deal-sealer) but truly – come here! You won’t be disappointed!
