Aix Cafe

Super delicious vegan bahn mi with crispy yet juicy tofu! The baguette used is fresh and on another level from the rest of the pack. My friends hoovered up their pork belly bahn mis and we washed down our delicious brunch with some strong Vietnamese coffee. I personally prefer thinner crepes loaded with syrup but the rest of my group were very impressed (these are served with fresh cream) with the choices of filling. In my mind, I still taste the chocolate and hazelnut crepe. I cannot wait to go back for more. Pictured here: vegan tofu bahn mi and apple & cinnamon crepe

Vietnamese French, me thinks. I had time today for a quick roll and drink after my Christmas shopping expedition. There was utterly harming service here. Quick and friendly. The food was good. A huge roll stuffed with pork and salad. Good spice in it. The cost was extremely modest. It’s a great little place.

So many lovely places to eat in Centre Place. This little beauty took me by surprise because on first glance I thought it was just a regular cafe but no - it’s so much more. Seating inside is limited but it does deliver big on food and service. The choice is in some ways limited but what they do have is amazing. I tried the lemon crepe. Delicioso. A good size, light and fluffy with a serve of fresh lemon on the side. there are also baguettes, omelettes, poached eggs, quiche and freshly squeezed juice. This Vietnamese run cafe has a lovely owner who is friendly and so sweet. Nothing was too much trouble. Notes: recommend you come early for lunch as it does get busy, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, not really wheelchair friendly to dine inside, kid friendly, takeaway available. Will return and try something else and this time snap a pic of my meal.

This little niche French Creperie with a Vietnamese influence, you may think hmm. FYI there are still some old quarters of French in Vietnam. This place is petite, dining in and outside, so you can do the Parisian thing, have your yummy crepes and enjoy the passer bys! Value for money; my crepe base was fairly thick, not toilet paper thin, with 4 slices of ham, 4 slices of Swiss cheese and copious amounts of tomato. The coffee was good too. Well worth a visit. Staff a very welcoming and friendly. Bon Appetite, Au revoir

Whenever I’m working in the city I make it a must to have my lunch and coffee here. The Bahn Mi is easily the best in town and the coffee is second to none. On top of this, the proprietors Lisa and her husband are the loveliest people you will come across. The two and their team of staff are very warm, welcoming and insanely hard working. Coming here feels like visiting a good friend - they will remember everything about you and genuinely be interested - not just remember how you take your coffee. Their food, coffee, prices, service, location are all second to none. In all honesty, I do wish I could have two hour long lunch breaks just so I could sit there, people watch and chat to the owners. Great place.
