What a gem! There’s no lack of great Vietnamese food in this area, but Pop Up Cafe is certainly holding its own. Flavorful banh mis, crispy bread, and refreshing smoothies (the avocado smoothie is so rich and tasty).

By far the BEST bahn mi joint in all of Philadelphia. And it’s located in Queen’s Village by the Italian-Mexican markets. How convenient!

Frederick Teitelbaum
Small place, a vestibule really, but the food was super. The fellow who waited on us was patient, since it was our first time, took his time to explain the food choices to us and asked us if we needed to modify our choices. Plus his father and his brother work there, family business. I recommend this Cafe for take out Vietnamese food.

The best vegetarian banh mi I’ve ever had. So much flavor packed into one sandwich! The pickled vegetables and fresh herbs were a highlight and the lemongrass flavor in the tofu came through so delightfully! Congrats to the chefs! 100% recommend!

This tiny spot isn’t much to look at from the outside, but it’s definitely worth a stop! In fact, after our food tour introduced us to it, we spent the next year trying to remember how to find it again and salivating over their delicious lemongrass tofu bahn mi! I am not even normally a bahn mi eater, and I don’t normally do tofu. But we walked about a mile to find it. It’s that good! This place uses their family’s traditional recipes and understands that tofu is not a meat and should not be prepared as one. And they are fantastic with their flavors–Even their garlic butter chicken, which can be a pretty overpowering flavor, was somehow gentle and almost slightly sweet. I’m super impressed and plan to return many times to this unique spot. 🙂

Best food place in the Italian market, believe it or not! Excellent, generous, healthy and balanced portion, reasonable price, and super nice owner. I don’t like to eat out too much but the food here has been saving me during my home renovation. The banh mi tastes amazing and the rice plaster comes with a salad, sautéed vegetables, and a little soup. So delicious and healthy!

I went to chew my 5th or 6th bite and got a mouthful of bones. About 4-5 little bones total. Ruined the whole experience.
