"From day to evening Elizabeth Street transforms. In the morning the vibe is all French bakery: Neighbors drop in on their way to work for the brightly-colored macaron of the day or a croissant to go. But later in the day you'll find that this modern French-Vietnamese café has perfected the bánh mì. The kitchen uses housemade, crunchy baguettes that can stand up to layers of spicy and tangy sauces, marinated pork, local beef, and fresh sliced vegetables. The friendly staff is always down to explain a new ingredient, suggest an all-vegetarian meal, or pair a just-right jasmine tea with a decadent afternoon pastry." - Mandy Ellis
