Song Long Bakery and Cafe

I heard a lot about their sandwiches and many people come and stay in line for that. However, I always come here for their green sponge cake. It's not too sweet and it is airy and have coconutty flavor, which I enjoy them so much. They also have grab and go papaya salad, buns, spring rolls, sausages, snacks, drinks, etc., which someday I would like try. The owners are very friendly and they try to assist you with your needs even though they don't speak perfect English. The restaurant is quite spacious and there are outdoor seats as well. From the counter top to the floor, everything is spotless, which is another reason I like about this place.

Excellent milk coffee: 10/10. Will go back for just this ASAP. TRIED THE #3 (pork) and the #9 (veggie). Both were nicely spicy with chopped jalapeños. The veggie option was delicious with some kind of well- flavored, juicy meat substitute. Skip the milk tea. Boba is hard and the tea is too creamy (I didn't think this was possible before). The best part is the lively, peaceful, playful open-air patio atmosphere. The traffic is not as noisy as you would expect. It is actually a lovely place to sip milk ice coffee any time of day. There are plenty of umbrellas for shade.

I only really stop here to grab breakfast and a Vietnamese iced coffee after waking up at the crack of dawn to fill up my tank at the Costco Gas next door (which opens up at 0530). This restaurant's posted hours says it opens at 0530 as well, but usually the doors are locked until closer to 0600.I typically get their Vietnamese iced coffee, which is strong and creamy - not overly sweet like some other places. I also pick up a serving of their xoi mang - sweet/savory steamed rice topped with chinese sausage (lap xuong), seasoned and shredded chicken. Despite getting it "fresh", sometimes when I get to work and finally dig in, I find the rice to be dry. Their Viet iced coffee holds its flavor well - even after an hour. Cash only. If you get there a little later in the morning, their entire patio is usually filled with patrons that smoke and play lotto (there's a few machines here suggesting that it's a popular place to get a ticket - if you're feeling lucky). Parking is in its own plaza, along the side of the cafe, and I guess the lot that anchors Office Depot. Never had an issue finding parking.

Wanted to grab a quick bite with my bf so we both ordered banh mi. The woman at the cash register seemed to be the only person working. She was kind but seemed to rush a lot. People just came up handed her money and waited while she would make the sandwiches, handle the $$, then immediately go back to the sandwiches. No hand washing in between or anything. To top it all off, we literally watched her cough into our sandwiches while preparing them with her tongue curled out and everything. She kept coughing the whole time as she was preparing our food and didn't even try to politely cover it. We decided to throw our food away. I'm not trying to get sick. We're both horrified. Stay clear of this place.

My mom and decided to try this bakery and coffee shop out since it was conveniently located next to the market that we had visited. The food and coffee was average, not terrible but not memorable either. I ordered the bbq pork sandwich and a Vietnamese ice coffee. My mom got a baguette, spring rolls and an ice coffee. The food did its job as we were both hungry but nothing memorable. I felt that the sandwich was a bit small compared to other similar places. I would go here again out of convenience but would definitely not go out of my way to drive here. By the way, parking was pretty packed since there were several businesses sharing a pretty small parking lot.

What can I say...I've been thinking about this sammy joint ever since first bite. I've been visiting in SoCal for a week and had these bad boys a few times and thinking about grabbing some for the plane ride home. Lol. It's the best of both worlds. Enough filling w ratio of bread. You can finish the Sammy satisfied w all the meat and fixings...not so much that you derailed any fitness plan. The portions are good and price is right. I'm a fan. I'll be back for surrre :)

They were rushing to close and go home, when I came.Asked for a Bbq Bahn Mi.It said $3.50 on menu, but charged $4 cuz that's how much it's priced on their systems. They need to make sure that's updated on the picture menu then..Drinks were closed off with tables, so I didn't bother to get a drink.And whenever I asked a lady a question who was supposedly helping me, she would short answer and rush away to whatever else she can do instead of attending to me as a customer until I left.The sandwhich was good.. the customer service can use some training.

Song Long Bakery and Cafe, just next to the Starbucks, struck a chord with me. This unassuming establishment in the Dalat Market plaza has a charm all its own. The older Vietnamese men smoking cigarettes outside at 8am and playing games and chatting it up reminded me of being almost anywhere in Vietnam early in the morning while the streets are still cool, the roosters are crowing, and the buzz of the cities is just revving up.Inside Song Long you can smell the fresh bread baking and see the quick-moving line of people grabbing lunch or breakfast before they speed off to greet the day. On the counter they have spring rolls -both pork and shrimp- which are loaded with fresh veggies and herbs like Vietnamese basil and mint as well as several sticky rice offerings which are usually topped with some type of shredded meat (I am addicted to sticky rice). The vermicelli boxes are packed and look delish but I have not tried them yet. To the right of the counter they have the savory pies which are either chicken or pork and always quite good (another food that clearly has French roots but has been perfected by the Vietnamese). Above and behind the counter is the banh mi menu complete with descriptions and numbers to make ordering a piece of cake if you're worried about your pronunciation. Before you close your order out I would highly recommend you get at least a couple dollars worth of their sesame balls. And an iced coffee! **each time I've been here someone is eating a large bowl of bun boe hue which looks and smells amazing. Have yet to try.

Food was just ok. Their banh canh lacks a bit of flavor. Their bo kho is average at best. The bread was unimpressive.Great thing was the pricing is on the cheaper side and fast service.

Came in today and ordered my food. I handed her my credit card and she says "no good" you have cash? I did have cash but wanted to use my card. I just used my CC in another place and knew it was good. I ask to try again and said "no good pay cash" I walked out with nothing. I couldn't tell if she was always rude or maybe doesn't like white ppl, but I think they are 100% cash business so they can dodge taxes. Very rude and dirty establishment. I've eaten there before and food was good last time, but I won't give them my business anymore.
