About HoiAn Corner Café

Brunswick locals duck into this Hope Street nook for clean, Hanoi-style pho and crusty baguettes packed with fresh crunch. The kitchen simmers a clear bone broth scented with lemongrass and ginger, pairing soft rice noodles with tender brisket and home-grown organic herbs. Morning regulars drop in for a crisp tofu bánh mì alongside a strong, slow-dripped cà phê sữa đá, while lunch brings bowls of earthy mushroom pho and house-made pork spring rolls. Meals finish quietly with cold fresh coconut, sipped straight from the shell.

  • Hanoi-Style Broth: A clear, non-greasy broth simmered with tender brisket, hints of ginger, and home-grown organic herbs.
  • Bánh Mì & Iced Coffee: Crusty rolls stacked with seasoned tofu or meats, balanced by strong Vietnamese iced coffee.
  • Dedicated Vegetarian Options: Thoughtful plant-based choices including two vegetarian noodle soups and delicate tofu baguettes.
