  Their spicy pork bahn mi is delicious. Solid coffee and breakfast sandwich. Difficult area to find parking.

  Chill neighborhood cafe with outdoor seating & people watching. A variety of non- diary milk. No gluten free options.

  Great spot for a quick breakfast, the lox sandwich was packed with veggies and the sausage breakfast sandwich was pretty tasty. The bakery items in the morning seemed like they were from yesterday but we're still good. Quick simple breakfast for on the go. Nothing too flashy here.

  Reliable spot for coffee and sandwiches. Minus one star for overcharging for alt milks (+$1 for a splash of oat milk in a coffee? Come on). The croissant sandwich I ordered was huge and I barely finished it. The croissant didn't seem very fresh, but overall it was a fine sandwich.

  Nomad Cafe is a neighborhood staple. The owners and staff are always friendly and they learn your name quickly if you visit regularly. We've been patrons of nomad for ~5 years and we eat their banh mi sandwiches at least once a week. Thus, they've also memorized our order. As a 9-year vegetarian, their tofu banh mi is one of the best I've ever had. The veggies are fresh and let me tell you -- they do NOT skimp on bread quality. Have you ever had Semifreddi's bread? (Think: fresh baked bread shelves at Berkeley bowl) Well, that is the bread you'll get with the banh mi and it is perfection (not like the styrofoam vehicles for veggies that you might get from other spots). At any rate, I buy a banh mi every time I go for a day hike, and it's because they are quality, well-wrapped, well-presented sandwiches. If you look at my photos, I took them AFTER hiking 5 miles uphill and throwing my backpack around a few times. You'll notice: the banh mi looks perfectly ready to be eaten - next to a stream in the redwoods. Many thanks to Nomad for powering me through hikes, bike rides, and at least one super long trail run :)
