Caphe Banh Mi in Alexandria - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

First time dining in and trying pho 🍜 at this location. Absolutely amazing experience and such delicious pho! Best in the DMV. Definitely recommend and will be our pho spot moving forward

Visited during lunchtime and it had very fast service and delicious food.

Excellent Vietnamese food, friendly staff. Very nice address.

A small but very nice restaurant. Bahn Mi sandwich and Pho were awesome. Very helpful staff.

The menu posted online does not display the proper prices - very confusing! When asked why, owners said “i don’t know”

Lucky me to see that small restaurant but the way food come out and taste is amazing. I order the rice and beef salad and in love with them. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The best banh mi sandwiches and vermicelli! The meat had a great flavor and grilled perfectly. Yummy Thai tea too! We enjoyed our dinner very much!

Actually the most amazing and authentic Vietnamese food - best I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Not very spicy because “Americanized” but the food is still rich in flavor

The classic banh mi is very good and a good size for the price. The grilled porkchop with fried egg was very good too. Service was quick even though it was very busy. There’s seating outside and tables inside. They take card.

Was so hot inside. Food was pretty good.

This place is consistently delicious

Really cute and tucked away. Local haunt. Very cheap for what year it is.

I got "the works" pho. Beef stock pho with pretty much everything in it. I did exclude the beef tripe. The broth was excellent. This place is small but not cramped. The food was served quickly and hot. The others in the group had the chicken pho and the banh mi sandwich. Everyone was very pleased with the experience. Definitely a go to place in Old Town Alexandria.

Amazing food and atmosphere. We got the pork banh mi and the vegan banh mi and both were delectable, with the vegan one taking the cake. The service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious food, fast service, and great atmosphere. Ordered the vegan banh mi and it was very hearty and flavorful. My partner got the pork banh mi and loved it. The employees were friendly and our food came quickly. Can’t wait to go back!

I had the class banh mi and my boyfriend had the grilled pork bahn mi. Both were flavorful, delicious, the right combination of textures. Cute little place too. Fantastic service

A bit pricey but very good food.

Favorite lunch spot in old town - quick, delicious, fair prices

My favorite pho around. Bahn mi also great. Vegetarian options are well crafted.

Very very very good Pho Broth! Banh Mi is incredible as well - very flavorful and fresh. I always get the veggie pho and Banh Mi because I can't choose.

Love this place and come here all the time for a well-priced, consistently good meal. Cannot go wrong with Caphe Banh Mi!!

Great food in a nice area right behind King Street. We had the summer rolls, imperial rolls, Lotus salad, and the House pho, which were all very good! Our favorite was the Lotus salad, which was particularly refreshing. Our waiter sometimes felt somewhat impatient, as he once or twice asked us a question but then didn't really wait for an answer. But other than he and the other staff members were very attentive, service was quick, and all things considered it was a great experience and I know I will be back next time I'm in the area!

Simply amazing food, so tasty. Fast service also. Not sure about the price though, almost $10 for 2 spring roll appetizers. They did apologize on the menu itself over inflation but still.

Wonderful restaurant. Amazing lemongrass chicken. Always a nice atmosphere and friendly staff!

If you pho this is the place to go.

Rice plate and vermicelli plate were good. My least favorite is the sandwich, bread is not soft and grilled meat is dry and tastes old. Also they didn't update the menu online and I ended up paying $10 more than I anticipated. Like the previous review mentioned this is not the less expensive choice. I'd expect 20-30 per person here for dine in.

Vermicelli bowl with pork was 😍😍😍 Cute restaurant with great outdoor seating. Staff were excellent too.

Hidden neighborhood gem. Their bbq is on point with a Smokey fire pit taste! Their banh mi bread is crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. The pho broth is the best in the DMV. Won’t run out of things to eat here because everything is good.

The spring rolls and fried rolls blew my mind. One of the freshest spring rolls I’ve ever had. The soup is outstanding too. I ate everything. Easily one of my favorite places in Old Town, Alexandria. I will be back again!

So so so good! Will return soon....

Busy but worth the wait. The food is great, the staff are nice.

Great service. Very yummy made from scratch food. Lots of delicious Vegan options thank you!! Great spot.

Generally everything was good, I just wasn't as happy as I'd like to be for spending about $50 pp with tip for a beer, dinner, and shared appetizers. I will try to visit again and try the pho. Service was relatively quick. The place is very small and won't seat partial parties. It got quite crowded so be prepared.

Cozy Vietnamese hotspot featuring incredible pho, stir fry, and sandwiches. Foodie heaven with a great selection of wines. Vegetarian pho exceeds expectations. Come here for small celebrations with friends, catching up with family, or first dates!

This is quite possibly one of my top three favorite spots in Old Town! We live in the neighborhood and on average we've probably eaten here the most. Every single meal I've had here has left me leaving with a smile (never disappointed) and the food is authentic. The staff are so nice and service is quick and efficient. I'd specifically recommend trying the original banh mi and my favorite, the bun (vermicelli) bowls with either chicken, pork, or beef. The Vietnamese iced coffee is also absolutely delicious and rich, almost like an iced mocha.

Meal evaluation compared to price. It's a really great restaurant. One of the best sandwiches you can enjoy under $20. The Vietnamese baguettes taste better than most breads I've tried in Paris, France, and the Vietnamese coffee is also highly recommended. Even if it's cold, iced coffee is recommended. For the banh mi sandwich, grilled fork is recommended. It tastes really crazy. It's too clean and doesn't ruin your taste buds with too much sauce.

Veggie Banh Mi is one of Mi favorite sandwiches of all time!

Tried Caphe Banh Mi for the first time after GW Birthday Parade. They were soooo busy but the service was excellent. No waiting for our food, refill on drinks empty plates pick-up. The food was delicious and inexpensive. Will definitely go back and highly recommend it.

Comprehensive PHO Review: Caphe Bahn Mi Broth: 8.7 - Very tasty and refreshing broth. It was a little light and not as fatty/rich as other broths i have had. Still delicious. Noodles: 9 - These noodles tasted like they were freshly made in the back. So spongey and delicious. Would have been a 9.5 but there was just not a lot of them so i'm docking .5 points. Meat: 9.5 - SO Fresh and tasty. They have grilled ribeye and filet mignon.. need i say more? Veggies/other: 10 - standard lime, beansprouts, jalapenos, and basil - but these looked and tasted so fresh and this is a this is a REAL sriacha establishment. No complaints at all. Vibe/ambiance: 9 - A little small, and some interesting/cool decor. Great service too. Perfect mix of traditional and modern IMO. OVERALL: 9.3 out of 10, and may be my new favorite spot.

Of the three Vietnamese restaurants that do plant-based Bahn Mi sandwiches, Caphe Bahn Mi does them the best. The bread is crispy and the textures and taste are great. They make it quickly and it’s an easy sit down meal or quick street food as you get back to enjoying King St and it’s supporting streets.

Great vegetarian options, friendly staff, and a cozy cafe vibe. Will go again

One of the best restaurants in Alexandria and some of the best pho I’ve had. The broth really makes their pho excellent, and I always enjoy the tender brisket.

Great place for a quick, well priced dinner. The vegetarian pho is delicious, as are the rolls. If you've time get a hot Vietnamese coffee for dessert.

The nicest folks and delicious food. We were travelling and came across Ca Phe Banh Mi while in the area, we had some personal mishaps, but the restaurant was very kind to us. It is a truly refreshing experience.

Got the classic bánh mì and the Viet iced coffee for takeout and both were delicious. I prefer a crispy baguette and theirs had the crunch I like. Definitely coming back to try other items!

Great vietnamese food. I like the Bahn mi

The dining area is small and this is definitely not the place for large group dining. HOWEVER the food is amazing and worth every trip.

The best Vietnamese food I have ever had! The service is exceptional and atmosphere is awsome! Thank you for great experience. I server in the Navy and our squadron received medal for rescuing Vietnamese Boat people seeking freedom. There use to be a time in this country when we welcomed immigrants seeking the American dream!

Never disappointed with the authentic Vietnamese food

The shamelessness of applying tips uniformly 20% makes the restaurant itself unreliable. What service was provided properly? I have never seen a restaurant like this in America before.

I'd consider this to be entry-level Vietnamese food for the uninitiated. We got a bahn mi and it was lacking in the unique popping flavors that we associate with Vietnamese food. This was a good sandwich but a very mid-tier banh mi.

Love this casual place! Super fast food service and tasty food. Fantastic selection of vegan options too. The tofu com was a personal favorite.

Delicious!! Stopped there on our way home today for takeout, it was our first time and we'll def go back everything was delicious! We got the chicken pho which was so good all ingredients tasted fresh, and they added fried onion pieces which was a nice flavor. We also got the Bahn mi Grilled pork and the imperial rolls and those also did not disappoint and were delicious. A little on the expensive side but worth it.

Great little shop just off the main drag in Alexandria. We stopped here for a quick dinner and were so pleasantly surprised. The sidewalk seating atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Service was quick and helpful. I had a vegan tofu bahn mi and it was fantastic. Would recommended to anyone visiting Alexandria.

The chicken Banh Mi is delicious!!! Highly recommend!!

First time going here. The food was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back. Staff was friendly and very efficient!

Good taste pho and beef rice. I will go again

Delish! The restaurant is very quaint & cute. I ordered the Ribeye Pho and Imperial Rolls. This is definitely one of my go-to spots.

I normally don't like beef pho, but this place was on another level, and they were rather quick for how busy they were! 10/10 would eat here again.

Delicious vegan banh mi even without the mayo! Highly recommend.

We had the Pho + Ribeye and the Imperial Rolls. Delicious…

Best beef broth I’ve ever had. They had ribeye, which I’ve never seen in pho before and it was amazing. They even allowed our service animal to come in which was surprising because of the such small atmosphere. Will be back again!!

I have eaten there for several years. It certainly isn’t anything fancy, but the pho is tasty. The addition of outdoor tables is nice.

So good. Just go you won't be disappointed. (Traducido por Google) Tan bueno. Solo ve, no te decepcionará.

Parking will be the biggest challenge since it’s street parking in a touristy area. It’s a small casual setting but comfortable. If the weather is good then opt for a table outside and enjoy. Service is good as well as the food. I had a red curry bahn mi which was pretty good and my wife had the grilled chicken vermicelli, which was decent but not standout. (Traducido por Google) El estacionamiento será el mayor desafío ya que es estacionamiento en la calle en una zona turística. Es un ambiente pequeño e informal pero cómodo. Si hace buen tiempo, opta por una mesa al aire libre y disfruta. El servicio es bueno al igual que la comida. Tuve un bahn mi de curry rojo que era bastante bueno y mi esposa tenía los fideos de pollo a la parrilla, que era decente pero no destacaba.

Good (Traducido por Google) Bien

Early dinner. Plenty of seating. Locals and others. Great service and delicious food. (Traducido por Google) Cena temprano. Un montón de asientos. Locales y otros. Gran servicio y comida deliciosa.

Amazing sandwiches, great service. (Traducido por Google) Sándwiches increíbles, gran servicio.

A really nice little Viet sandwich shop, the atmosphere is nice and the food is affordable, and it's not that far from King Street Old Town Metro station. (Traducido por Google) Una pequeña tienda de sándwiches vietnamitas realmente agradable, el ambiente es agradable y la comida es asequible, y no está tan lejos de la estación de metro King Street Old Town.

One of my favorite restaurants in DMV area. (Traducido por Google) Uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en el área del DMV.

Good food, friendly staff, sidewalk patio (Traducido por Google) Buena comida, personal amable, patio en la acera.

Vietnamese is my favorite food. I frequently eat Vietnamese across the US and the world. The quality and flavor of the food was not typical of a quality Vietnamese restaurant. The vegetables in the vermicelli weren’t fresh or flavorful and the banh mi sandwich was hard and lacked flavor. This is the second time I tried this restaurant. I won’t be going back.

I’m unsure if I have ever had Vietnamese food before, but I definitely will be seeking in out in my hometown after this experience. The pho was fantastic and service was super quick! In our 4 day trip to DC this was the only good weather we had so enjoyed our lunch outside .

My fav restaurant 💖💖 (Traducido por Google) Mi restaurante favorito 💖💖

The grilled pork banh mi is excellent. (Traducido por Google) El banh mi de cerdo a la parrilla es excelente.

Great food! Very fresh and light. Service was great. We sat outside and had a wonderful view of old town. (Traducido por Google) ¡Buena comida! Muy fresco y ligero. El servicio fue excelente. Nos sentamos afuera y teníamos una vista maravillosa del casco antiguo.

Unbedingt probieren. Wir hatten die Bowl mit Chicken und die nach Art des Hauses marinierten Spare-Ribs. Hat beides super geschmeckt.

Excellent Vietnamese food for a reasonable price in Old Town. The pho is delicious, with the works version even having tripe, which is fun. The interior is small but with a decent amount of seating, and I imagine the external seating is nice if we had come on a day with nicer weather. (Traducido por Google) Excelente comida vietnamita a un precio razonable en Old Town. El pho es delicioso, con la versión de trabajo incluso con callos, lo cual es divertido. El interior es pequeño pero con una cantidad decente de asientos, e imagino que los asientos externos serían agradables si hubiéramos venido en un día con mejor clima.

Just fantastic all around. All the banh mi sandwiches are great, but the vegan one is a standout. Imperial rolls are also highlights (Traducido por Google) Simplemente fantástico por todas partes. Todos los sándwiches banh mi son geniales, pero el vegano es el más destacado. Los rollos imperiales también son destacados.

Best pho I have ever had (Traducido por Google) El mejor pho que he tenido

I've been eating the vegan banh mi for months and although it's listed as vegan I was told by a worker today it contains non-vegan mayo in the yellow sauce, so it has egg :( I'm not sure why they list it on their menu as vegan when it's not.. so beware when ordering any vegan items from here. (Traducido por Google) He estado comiendo el banh mi vegano durante meses y, aunque figura como vegano, un trabajador me dijo hoy que contiene mayonesa no vegana en la salsa amarilla, por lo que tiene huevo :( No estoy seguro de por qué lo enumeran en su menú como vegano cuando no lo es ... así que tenga cuidado al pedir cualquier artículo vegano desde aquí.

Great food and service. It is a small space that seat like 20 persons, but food gets fast. The bread for the Banh mi is very good (Traducido por Google) Buena comida y servicio. Es un espacio pequeño con capacidad para 20 personas, pero la comida se hace rápido. El pan para el Banh mi es muy bueno.

I had the chicken and the summ rolls,,my very first time having pho it was so amazing and so good,,we can't wait to go back and try something else,,we was seated at once.. (Traducido por Google) Tuve el pollo y los rollos de summ, la primera vez que comí pho fue tan increíble y tan bueno, estamos ansiosos por volver y probar algo más, nos sentamos de inmediato. .

Banh mi options are great! The pho on the other hand is lacking in flavor. Not bad at all but the broth is a little watery. (Traducido por Google) ¡Las opciones de Banh mi son geniales! El pho, por otro lado, carece de sabor. No está nada mal pero el caldo queda un poco aguado.

This was my first time trying Vietnamese food! Very simple interior, although great location, in the centre of the city, they do have outside seatings if the weather is nice. The sandwiches were soo delicious!!! And I don’t know why they were so special LoL 😆 Is that the sauce? Or cilantro? Or specially cooked pork/chicken? But it was really good!!! Thank you Banh Mi! You have not disappointed us! ❤️ (Traducido por Google) ¡Esta fue la primera vez que probé comida vietnamita! Interior muy simple, aunque excelente ubicación, en el centro de la ciudad, tienen asientos al aire libre si hace buen tiempo. Los bocadillos estaban riquísimos!!! Y no sé por qué eran tan especiales LoL 😆 ¿Esa es la salsa? ¿O cilantro? ¿O cerdo/pollo especialmente cocinado? Pero estuvo muy bueno!!! ¡Gracias Banh Mi! ¡No nos has defraudado! ❤️

great pho. (Traducido por Google) gran foto

Terrific spot for Vietnamese. And with a full dining room our orders were on the table within five minutes. Friendly, attentive service. (Traducido por Google) Fantástico lugar para los vietnamitas. Y con un comedor lleno, nuestros pedidos estaban sobre la mesa en cinco minutos. Servicio amable y atento.

One mistake with our order but it was quickly solved. Good food! One of our group was afraid to try new food, and they loved the lemongrass chicken sandwich and asked if we can go there again! (Traducido por Google) Un error con nuestro pedido pero se solucionó rápidamente. ¡Buena comida! Uno de nuestro grupo tenía miedo de probar comida nueva, y les encantó el sándwich de pollo con hierba de limón y preguntaron si podíamos ir allí de nuevo.

Great vegan pho! 🥰 try their natural ginger ale, too. It's so good! (Traducido por Google) Gran pho vegano! 🥰 prueba también su ginger ale natural. ¡Es tan bueno!

Caphe Bahn Mi, in my opinion, is the best pho spot in Northern Virginia. We visit so much they know us by name. 😅 Their food is phenomenal and the staff is so friendly and attentive. You should definitely try them. (Traducido por Google) Caphe Bahn Mi, en mi opinión, es el mejor lugar para tomar pho en el norte de Virginia. Visitamos tanto que nos conocen por nuestro nombre. 😅 Su comida es fenomenal y el personal es muy amable y atento. Definitivamente deberías probarlos.

My husband wanted to try this place for the longest time and we finally had the time to do it, the banh mi classic was exquisite, the combination of all those flavors together made it one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I got the vegetarian pho and my husband got the house pho, both were extremely flavorful, fresh and cooked to perfection. The service was really quick bringing our plates and for any inquiry we had. The place was lovely decorated, it is a wonderful place to go to if you would like to try phenomenal pho. (Traducido por Google) Mi esposo quería probar este lugar por mucho tiempo y finalmente tuvimos el tiempo para hacerlo, el clásico de banh mi fue exquisito, la combinación de todos esos sabores juntos lo convirtió en uno de los mejores sándwiches que he probado. Obtuve el pho vegetariano y mi esposo obtuvo el pho de la casa, ambos eran extremadamente sabrosos, frescos y cocinados a la perfección. El servicio fue muy rápido trayendo nuestros platos y para cualquier consulta que tuviéramos. El lugar estaba decorado con mucho gusto, es un lugar maravilloso para ir si desea probar un pho fenomenal.

Delicious food and very cute atmosphere. (Traducido por Google) Deliciosa comida y muy lindo ambiente.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Alexandria. I am not vegan, but the vegan banh mi is the best on the menu (the others are also delicious). I also love the imperial rolls; I ate two orders as an appetizer last night and it was the right decision. (Traducido por Google) Sin duda, mi lugar favorito para comer en Alexandria. No soy vegano, pero el banh mi vegano es el mejor del menú (los demás también son deliciosos). También me encantan los rollos imperiales; Comí dos pedidos como aperitivo anoche y fue la decisión correcta.

Loved the food here. The servers were quick and friendly. (Traducido por Google) Me encantó la comida aquí. Los servidores fueron rápidos y amables.

Came for the banh mi, will return for more banh mi! Nicely decorated, fast and attentive service, and delicious food. (Traducido por Google) ¡Vine por el banh mi, regresaré por más banh mi! Muy bien decorado, servicio rápido y atento, y comida deliciosa.

Got The Works cuz I was pretty hungry going in. Not sure if that hunger factored into how tasty everything was, but it was so good I drank the entire broth after finishing my Pho. Also their tamarind rolls were incredibly tasty as well (Traducido por Google) Obtuve The Works porque tenía bastante hambre al entrar. No estoy seguro de si ese hambre influyó en lo sabroso que estaba todo, pero estaba tan bueno que me bebí todo el caldo después de terminar mi Pho. Además, sus rollos de tamarindo también eran increíblemente sabrosos.

Best Vietnamese restaurant. Pho is the best. (Traducido por Google) El mejor restaurante vietnamita. Fo es el mejor.

Some of the best banh mi(s) I’ve had in the area. Great service as well. Thought spring rolls as well as menu options were a bit pricy but to be expected since it’s in old town. (Traducido por Google) Algunos de los mejores banh mi (s) que he tenido en el área. Gran servicio también. Pensé que los rollitos de primavera, así como las opciones del menú, eran un poco caros, pero era de esperar ya que está en el casco antiguo.

Small business with just a few tables and great food. Prices went up a bit but that’s true across the country and I don’t mind knowing I give my money to small business. Great vegan and vegetarian options (Traducido por Google) Pequeño negocio con pocas mesas y buena comida. Los precios subieron un poco, pero eso es cierto en todo el país y no me importa saber que doy mi dinero a pequeñas empresas. Excelentes opciones veganas y vegetarianas.

If you’re coming for the vegan chicken bahn mi you should be aware that the recipe has changed to include a sweet yellow sauce and the price has gone up from $8 to $11.50. (Traducido por Google) Si vienes por el pollo vegano bahn mi, debes saber que la receta ha cambiado para incluir una salsa amarilla dulce y el precio ha subido de $8 a $11.50.
