Move out of the Cicada this place is delicious! Searching for a delicious Bahn mi after my disappointing hike and long wait at Cicada I found Phinista Cafe! Such a cute semi hidden away cafe with a decent amount of indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seating! A friendly smile greeted me when i walked in the door. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and chill indie/alt music playing. I took an empty seat at a wall facing table next to the counter. It was a cozy nook with photos and letters on the wall giving it a comfortable vibe. There is a QR code which you can order through as well which i liked. I ordered the Phin drip latte hot, the Mon amour crepe and grilled bbq pork bahn mi. The coffee came out quickly and was very smooth and not too sweet (which i requested). The crepe came out next but i saved it for after the sandwich. The sandwich looked fresh and had a great ratio of meat veggies and sauces! The bbq sauce was flavorful but not too over powering so you couldn’t taste the paté or the delicate pickle on the veggies. I usually prefer more of a pickle on my bahn mi veggies and a thinner sliced veggie but i did enjoy the freshness of the less pickled veggies on this sandwich. I cannot emphasize enough that all the flavors of this bahn mi were balanced perfectly! The bread was crispy on the outside but not dry on this inside so it ate easily. 10/10 bahn mi! The crepe was crispy and stuffed full of layers of crepe, custard, nutella, and strawberries! The strawberries were fresh and sweet! The sweetness of the dessert crepe paired well with the latte. Tge crepe was still mostly crispyb on the edges by the time i finished my sandwich as well! Great work guys! I really appreciated this spot. Its a perfect combo for me! French crepes and Vietnamese bahni mis! Solid spot to chill our even just take a quick lunch break.

I really enjoyed visiting this cafe. The Phin drip coffee black is an experience in itself, but balancing it with the sweetness of the Is This Heaven? crepe was truly transcendent and shouldn’t be missed.

Heard many good things about the Bánh mì here but I was craving for something with rice and decided to order the pork rice bowl. The pork was really tender and flavorful! It was really good and I enjoyed it a lot but I wished the portion was a little larger given the price.

This place was so cute! I came in for lunch on a stroll around Boston and was not disappointed! The atmosphere was cute and the staff was really nice. I wish they had a paper menu and I wasn’t fond of the online ordering, but the staff member at the register was super nice and took my order upfront.

The bánh mì chảo was very well done (it’s a seasonal dish). Totally recommend. Ube latte was good too. Exceptional service, polite staff. Great atmosphere.

So glad I tried this place out! I got the grilled barbeque pork rice bowl and it honestly subverted all expectations for a rice bowl. Words cannot fully describe how good it was. Absolutely wonderful flavor with refreshing veggies on the side. I didn’t try any drinks but I need to come back now after that rice bowl! The café was also just so cute as well, all around had a great experience here!
