Cafe La Vie

Best vietnamese food in Tacoma

I love this place. They make the banh mi's (Vietnamese sandwich) fresh to order. They have your typical cold cut, and BBQ pork. All the noodle soups are all delicious and rich in broth. Its not listed but they do have Thai teas, boba and kid size pho. Parking here can get a little tight since its located in a neighborhood. There is usually older men outside smoking and playing scratch tickets (there's a lotto machine inside) don't let them scare you from coming in. You won't see a huge variety of different people besides Vietnamese and Cambodians just a heads up. But for sure stop by and get a fresh brewed Vietnamese coffee with a banh mi.

The portion sizes are pretty decent. A nice and cozy little spot if you want to get some authentic Vietnamese food.

We found this place by accident while visiting an aquarium shop just around the corner. Luck was bestowed on us, this rainy day. Coffee, tea and sandwiches were delicious and the service was great. We will be back to try other meals, as well. We recommend visiting here to all.

This is a little gem in the Lincoln International District. I come here often because they make the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've ever had!! Here, they toast their bread, and ingredients are always fresh. Their other dishes are also delicious ????. When dining in, tea is complementary with your meal.

*Keep in mind, this is a café out of someone's house. Because of this, parking can be limited, but you can always park a little whiles away. Coffee made here are going to be in Southeast Asian style, so they use evaporated milk as their dairy/sweetener.*
