Reviews for Evelyn's Coffee & Banh Mi in Akron, OH
Went for the first time on a Wednesday afternoon. Parking can be a challenge only bc I am not sure if the connected lot is for... guest. I saw a sign that said "permits only." I took the chance and parked there anyway and was fine. I was excited to try thisplace based on all the positive reviews. Upon entering I was not greeted. I had a few questions as I have never been to thisplace and have some dietary restrictions. The girl at the register seemed irritated by my questions as evidenced by her facialexpressions. Another girl came out and attempted to answer my questions but it was the same thing in that she appearedirritated too. I even tried to engage her by asking which milk tea is her fave and asking what she suggest. She did not answereither question but just kind of looked at me. I ended up going with the taro milk tea. It was just okay. Interestinglyanother person came in after me and she perked up a bit and at least asked her if she had ever been in and had the tea that sheordered. Oh well. I will keep looking for a local tea place. Read more

Veggie banh mi is so SATISFYING and tasty! Vietnamese iced coffee is always a great treat too. I love that I can be in and out... quickly, spend under $15 and have a whole lunch with a drink and a cookie. My only complaint is that they're not open later! Read more
Holy. Cow. I?m speechless. Akron?s HIDDEN GEM! The Dac Biet Bahn Mi was absolutely incredible - fresh, flavorful, perfectly... balanced. The. Iced. Coffee. My goodness. INCREDIBLE! Honestly, I think the Vietnamese Iced Coffee I had today may have beenthe best iced coffee I have EVER had. Such a strong coffee flavor without being bitter or acidic, and just a tad sweet. Thevegetarian dumplings are air fried not deep fried which is awesome? so flavorful & tender. Great prices, wonderfully friendlystaff. Give em your support!! Read more
Checked out this awesome now Mom and Pop place in downtown Akron. Tucked into an unassuming corner with free parking off to the... side, this is a cute little coffee shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, sweet, strong and creamy. They also havetraditional coffee items and pastries as well as some authentic southeast Asian street foods like multiple varieties of Ban Misandwiches. My favorite was the chicken meatball but we also enjoyed the Dac Biet. There was no jalapeños in the sandwiches,but I didn't miss them. Taro milk tea with Boba was creamy and delicious, not too sweet which I appreciated. Papaya Salad wasdelicious--crunchy tart and and refreshing. We also enjoyed the Vietnamese salad, and actually enjoyed putting it into our BanhMi's. My kids went to town on the Boba tea. The staff were polite and professional and hygienic precautions were followed. There is no sit down dining for now but they say that they will open it up as the pandemic hopefully lessens. Overall this is agreat place, priced right, locally owned and cooks who are literally like little Vietnamese moms and dads. Well worth a visit! I wish I lived closer. Read more
Excellent place. The Bahn Mi and Kimbap were very good as well as the coffee beverages offered there. Prices are appropriate and... it has a nice atmosphere! Read more
