Than Thuy Deli

Thanh Thuy Deli is a Vietnamese sandwich shop that serves all of your favorite banh mi sandwiches.

Banh mi is the Vietnamese word for bread, and it is a lighter and airier version of the French baguette. It is made with both rice and wheat flour. Thanh Thuy Deli offers fresh toasted banh mi that is filled with Vietnamese staples such as grilled pork, fish cakes, sardines, fried egg, and ham and head cheese. Each sandwich is topped with pickled carrots and white radishes, as well as fresh cucumber, cilantro and jalapenos.

At this restaurant, you will also find Vietnamese style coffee. Café De is their classic black coffee. This coffee is a perfect after lunch re-energizer. Café De is generally made from a coffee bean variety grown in Vietnam. These beans are dark roasted, and then brewed in a traditional metal Vietnamese drip filter. You can also try their Café Sue, which is their black coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Both drinks can be served Da, which means iced, or Nong, which means hot.

Fresh squeezed orange juice and lemonade, as well as fresh fruit smoothies are also offered at Than Thuy Deli. Fruit smoothies include refreshing flavors such as avocado, pineapple, watermelon, strawberry, and honeydew. They also have coffee and Thai tea flavored smoothies. You can order smoothies with or without tapioca pearls, also known as boba.
