    A charming little cafe tucked away in an unassuming corner of Arlington, VA. The atmosphere on the Sunday I stopped by was indeed chill. Pictured is their cold Viet Coffee and Basil Fried Rice. I am not as familiar with Vietnamese food as I am Thai and Japanese, but the stuff I got was very good and conveniently packed to-go so that I can head out without having to bother the staff to get a box. All in all, I recommend stopping by when in the area!

    The cutest little cafe that my coworker and I came across. We loved spending our afternoon here and getting some work done. The staff is really friendly and they have plenty of food and drink options. We didn't have any issues finding parking. For my first drink, I got the Caramel Cinnamon Latte and I later got the Autumn Rose Latte. I love both. They were not overly sweet although I do wish that the flavors were a little stronger. They brought the drinks out to where we were sitting. My friend and I split the Bot Chion (Pan-fried Rice Cake) and it was so delicious! The Rice Cakes were so crispy and the eggs had so much flavor. We loved it with the vinegar soy sauce and sriracha. For lunch, I ended up getting the Vietnamese Ramen and it was a good sized portion with plenty of toppings. It was so good and everything comes in a to go container so you can just pack it up and take it with you when you go. I'm definitely coming back! It's the cutest place and I love all the decor. They have so many food options and drinks that I would love to come back and try. Absolutely recommend it here.

    It’s a small cozy wonderful place. There is stage to sit down on, which I really love, that’s something you don’t find anywhere. And time to time I would love to sit down n enjoy meal. Coffee was very good, I loved the yogurt. And the yogurt was served in small beautiful glass jar and tiny beautiful spoon. I loved it. This place doesn’t sell ANY bakery items, for example cakes or pastries etc. They have other lunch items. But I think they should sell bakery food too with coffee.

    Food is great here. We had Rice Vermicelli bowl and Shaky Beef. Both were really good. I will go again.

    Great casual Vietnamese restaurant to grab a few quick bites of Vietnamese food and boba tea! I especially love how it is very well decorated throughout the entire restaurant. Food and boba tea was pretty good.

    Definitely come for the atmosphere and food. They go hand and hand to create an experience of a life time. It's a small place but it just a cool place. The name definitely captures the vibe. I come here a lot despite it's pretty pricy menu it's worth it. If it were cheaper it would be crowded as heck. This place is a diamond of the area I'd say. I'd say come by to even study. Drink will probably be 10 dollars and food probably be 20 so your going to probably spend 30 bucks at least. If you can casually spend 30 bucks it's not a problem. I spend that amount usually and I still say it's worth it. If your cheap this ain't the place for you. Go ahead and try everything I highly doubt your not going to like it. There is plenty of lights too and music. The music is banger here. There is also live music sometimes.

    This café is so cute. The atmosphere inside is very relaxing and friendly. It's a perfect place to study! I got an order of Spring Rolls and a Tropical Paradise Refresher to drink- both were delicious. We came at around 4pm on a Saturday, so it was decently busy. Despite this, service was friendly and we got our food very quickly.

    Very good hideaway Vietnamese resto. It piqued my interest to try it since it's in my alley and my go-to Vietnamese restaurant is in Seven Corners. I've been coming to these place since pandemic, i guess i can call myself a regular now. I've frequently ordered their food items and have tried most of them, although i usually ordered their Stir fried veggies and fried egg rolls. They're pricey but kinda worth it in the scheme of things. My gripes are they put the soy sauce and sriracha sachets inside the food to go box instead of outside, which is gross. Second, they start sweeping the floor 30 - 40 minutes before closing time without warning or consideration while you are still eating.

    I’m excited to go here again and try their other food and drinks! A delightful cafe tucked away with servers/workers who you can tell enjoy their job. Would be a good place to both work alone for a few hours or catch up and chat with friends. Had the jasmine tea pot and summer rolls, which were fresh, flavorful, and properly packed (in saran wrap), which means they knew what they were doing. And the ‘here’ drinks tend to be in actual ceramic, which can make a difference to me with some drinks. Probably can’t go wrong with what you order here.

    Nice hidden neighborhood gem. If you're into coffee, they have a slayer espresso machine which is pretty dialed in and rare for this area. Better espresso here than most coffee shops. Not a lot of body but great flavor separation, no bitterness, and an overall very pleasant shot. Would recommend!

    Love this place!! Their drinks are always great & the food is surprisingly fantastic!! I did not expect this small cafe to have such a deep food menu. Everything I have tried on their food menu is delicious and does not disappoint. This place has something for every mood. The environment is super cozy and cute. Service is also always top tier! My favorite dish is the chicken banh mi. I also really enjoy the viet tacos. Drinks I have tried: Very berry peach smoothie - 5/5

    This place is a cool, unique cafe in a small tucked away location. A great place to go to get a sense of the local area. I enjoyed the drinks. I recommend coming here on Sundays 4-6pm to catch some chill/relaxing live guitar music performed by Mark. The music is not too loud and is very pleasant. I highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be back.

    When we first stepped inside the place, I immediately fell in love with its cozy atmosphere. The lights, music, wall decoration and the photography corner were amazingly beautiful. The food is another story, my beef baguette was incredibly tasty, the combination of its salty and sweet flavor, made me enjoy my food to the last bit. The vet tacos was amazing and really delicious. Beside all this, the professionalism of the staff really impressed me. And i won't forget to mention how nice the owner was, he checked on us and offered us a dessert. I was delighted by my experience in chill zone, and i definitely highly recommended it to everyone. You won't regret it.

    Cozy, clean rooms feel natural and calming. The staff was friendly, and very busy with to-go orders - in a good way! Our food took a very long time to arrive. They could have brought out the Spring rolls app first, but our meal came all courses at once. My friend was delighted by the Papaya Salad. I tried the Ramen in chicken broth. It arrived 'deconstructed', which I liked. But the toppings did not match the menu. I asked him to leave out the pork (they did) but added ground beef! It was grey and unwelcome. I told the guy and he just said "ok" and walked away. I asked for a spoon to scoop it out on my tray, where it sat while I ate my soup. The shrimp + broth were tasty, but the noodles were not. They reminded me of the $0.20 TopRamen from grocery! So, next time I try something else! Check it out for sure. Support small business!

    The coffees we got we very good! We got a Lavender latte and an egg coffee. The egg coffee was fantastic. Though both coffees were good I felt it was a pricey. The decor was fun and vibrant!

    Best café I’ve been to around Arlington!!!!! The drinks were delicious and the interior was very cute. There was an area where we could help make paper cranes if we were bored while waiting for our coffee. Would recommend! They have a variety of food and drink items so there are many options to choose from :)

    It's a very nice space to hang out or study. They have a nice platform with low tables and more tables around the room if you prefer. The interior was beautiful. And the people manning the counter were very efficient. The thai iced tea was so good. And the food looked really tasty! ( I will try them next time)

    Fantastic experience! I really enjoyed my decaf Vietnamese coffee here, and the rice vermicelli noodles. Amazing atmosphere, definitely coming back.

👍👍 Truly wonderful place! My Italian wife was in heaven. They have everything from prepared foods (pizza, subs, coffee, desserts) to a full range of Italian groceries and a nice wine area. Outdoor seating a plus as well. So shop there, dine there, or both!
