SP Café

Yes Yes Yes!! After my last visit, I swore I would eat here every time I was in San Antonio. My Dad's wife, who hates me, loves this place after going with me last time and goes even when I'm not visiting. This time I was in SA with a friend who had never eaten Vietnamese food. (I know, crazy and unimaginable) She had the bun noodle with spring roll and lemon grass pork. She was in heaven! Typically a light eater, she dug into this bowl like she was in love. It made me so happy to see her enjoy the crispy rolls, the super tender and well seasoned meat, to mix and munch on the noodle and veg with peanuts and sauce.I had the F1 Vietnamese sandwich with cha lua and wished I had two... it's filling but so delicious you want to keep eating well after you are done. I'm craving one now.We also had a pate chaud. Um no. The first ones I've had were in Falls Church VA at Ba Le and were unbelievably flaky and the filling was divine in texture and meatiness. These were meh. We also tried the Vietnamese version of zongzi. It is a leaf-wrapped pyramid of stuffed rice. This was also less than exciting for me, but maybe because I'm so familiar with a Chinese version.I still will go here ever. time. I'm. in. San.Antonio. Crazy good bun and Bahn mi.

I'm new to the area & had finished my morning appointments, & started out looking for A) coffee, & B) something new. This place came up I guess because they do serve coffee, but this was not the original search intent. That being said, I am glad we stopped! The server was so helpful! We ordered, and based on the small conversation happening, she made suggestions which turned out really well! I had the grilled beef sandwich, & a matcha milk tea. The milk tea was very good; flavorful & not too sweet! The grilled beef sandwich was delicious! It had a bit of heat, but it was not spicy. I love spicy, so that would not be an issue, but this just wasn't. It was so tasty & the meat was cooked perfectly. My lunch & tea were delicious, service was awesome & friendly, & the meal in total was not expensive! Will absolutely be back to try other new things on the menu!

Reason why I am giving a 2 star is because the service sucks!! First off, I am an Asian woman and I am from out of state. Restaurant was not busy at all and there was only 1 table occupied. I was not greeted nor acknowledged. There was 1 guy helping the table and the other guy behind the counter organizing. There's a sign "please wait for assistance." Couple mins went by and still no one. Finally the guy behind the counter sees me and he just looks annoyed. I told him I would like to dine in. He said I can sit anywhere, but you can order here. I pretty much prepaid for my menu before sitting down. A group of 3 came in, the other guy greeted them and sat them at the table. He took their order and brought them water. No one offered me any water.

I was impressed by how vast the menu options, sandwiches, noodles, appetizers, and drinks, however I only came in for the bubble tea. It was pretty good and not two sweet.

This place rocks! Food is always on point. Service might be a little slow but they are always friendly.Their pork with scallions Bahn Mi is making my mouth water as I am writing this... go get you some

Such a delicious experience!I've been to SP twice now and both meals I've had were as delicious as you can get. The staff members are so polite and kind, and the place is so cozy and warm. Not to mention their menu is EXTENSIVE. They have so many different coffees, teas, specialty drinks, breakfast dishes, pastries, and so so much more that it was a little overwhelming to choose what I wanted to try. This last visit I ordered the Fried Egg Sandwich (F4) with no cilantro. It was absolutely divine! The bread was fresh and chewy, the mix of tangy and subtly flavored crisp veggies was delicious, and the warm fried egg brought everything together. It was a mild and almost comforting dish but a very filling one nonetheless. My fiancé and I split it and both left feeling very satisfied. We also received an Eggroll side as we ordered the combo. It was so yummy that even my fiancé who typically doesn't like egg rolls really enjoyed it. As the combo only came with one drink we ordered a second one as well, both Iced Matcha Lattes.As a former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista, I was a little bit disappointed by the Matcha Latte purely because of the sweetness level. I'd ordered mine without sweetener and with almond milk while my fiancé's was also unsweetened but with the standard milk option and both were entirely too sweet. It was some of the sweetest matcha I've ever had to the point where it practically drowned out the matcha taste itself, and left a just as sweet aftertaste in my mouth. That being said, it was smooth, creamy, and crafted excellently. On my visit prior I'd ordered one of their boba teas and it was absolutely delicious and I loved every bit of it, so maybe next time I try their Matcha Latte I'll order it with half the sweetener to see if it makes a difference. Even with this less than perfect beverage experience, I still have faith in their drinks as the boba tea was so good.I am very much looking forward to returning and trying more of their menu. From my sandwich alone I can tell that that their other dishes must be just as stellar!

FoodTried the banh mi thap cam (cold cut combination). I was happy with how thin and crispy the bread turned out! However, i was hoping the butter was more creamy and savory but that's just a personal taste. The meat didn't taste old and nicely cut (thin) with the fresh herbs. It scratched my bang mi craving for sure!ServiceSlightly slow. An employee saw me sitting for 10 minutes and asked about my order and resolved the issue. Could have been more efficient tbh. AmbianceFriends and good for SOLO eating. Very chill. I am coming again if I need some Viet food fix.

Cool spot! However, it got very busy on a weekend. When I arrived around noon, there were not many people in there, however in the next one hour the venue was bustling with people! We were a party of two and ordered veggie dumplings for an appetizer. My friend got a chicken vermicelli along with an iced matcha latte and I went for vegetable pho paired with a salted caramel latte. I simply loved the food. Clean ingredients and great taste! However, I didn't like my coffee so much. But, I will be back to try more.

Family owned, I see then every morning getting there all together and running this place from open to close. It's delicious & I've eaten here more than 10 times since it's right around the corner from me. They are fast service & their teas are better quality compared to boba spots nearby & better prices! I can get a fruit tea for $5 & a matcha jelly for $7 & the food is yummy. I've have their tofu spring rolls which are huge. I usually spend $11 for a tea & appetizer

This place is great. The pho was awesome, I had the No.10. It was a huge bowl (I can eat a lot) and delicious. Definitely will be going back for more. Service was great as well. Clean environment.
