Nice cafe with an assortment of drinks and food. Their breakfast sandwiches are very good, and banh mis are also very tasty. There are a few tables inside to sit at if you want. Very welcoming neighborhood spot and worth a visit for breakfast or lunch for a drink or snack. Thanks

Vietnamese iced coffee and tofu bahn mi. Online ordering system was great -- I was easily able to add (fried egg and spicy mayo) and remove any toppings I didn't want.

I've only tried their drinks last time I was here, but really wanted to try their banh mi. We got bulgogi banh mi, and pork banh mi. Both were so delicious, but the pork banh mi was terrific! Somehow the combination of banh mi and Viet coffee really hits! Will be back for more

We stopped here several days in a row - why? Because it was good! Great coffees and wonderful light eats. Staff is very friendly, courteous and customer oriented. Unfortunately, I leave today so this will be my last visit this trip. Definitely recommend.

Such a great little coffee shop! I love the atmosphere and the coffee and food are delicious. I've had their grilled pork banh mi and their special chicken salad. Both were phenomenal and both I wouldn't hesitate to get again. I'm already bringing and recommending Brown Street to my friends since it's so close to me, but also because you can taste the freshness. The Vietnamese iced coffee was the perfect balance of sweet and espresso. Will be back!

The sandwiches hit the spot for a breakfast sandwich. Pretty standard fare on that end of the menu. The mac & cheese with bacon was an interesting option and was pretty tasty. They were toasted well. The the price is pretty reasonable for the food. The coffee & tea we got were fine, they have a pretty fair amount of options for the tea which was nice. Overall, nice place to pop in for breakfast if you live in the neighborhood.

stopped here for lunch and a quick study sesh around 12:30pm on a Thursday, and I'm so glad i did! It did get slightly busier as the lunch hour went on, which makes sense given how good the food is! The place is small, but it feels cozy and not crowded. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the pork banh mi, which were both so good. The Vietnamese coffee is not like the traditional Viet coffees you'd get at a pho place (shoutout Pho75 for the best iced Vietnamese coffee in Philly); Brown Street's is very strong and thick and doesn't really have that sweet condensed milk taste. Still, it was unique, chocolately and smooth, and also really caffeinated! Their pork banh mi is one of the BEST banh mis I've had in general-- the pork is tender and juicy, and it is topped with an ample amount of pickled vegetables. Every part of the sandwich from the crispy bread, fresh toppings, and flavorful, juicy meat was done perfectly. Oh, and the banh mi is pretty decently sized for what you pay. Definitely highly recommend!

Brown Street Coffee is a brilliant business! It's a unique cafe that serves traditional American coffee & breakfast along with Vietnamese banh mi's and coffee! Their coffee is one of the best I've had in Philadelphia! Their cubano is made with a nice strong espresso lightly sweetened with brown sugar. Brown Street also sprinkled cinnamon on the drink! Their Vietnamese coffee was delicious too! It's had a good balance of strong Vietnamese coffee and sweetened condensed milk (it wasn't too sweet). The chicken banh mi was good too! They added jalapeños to the sandwich, which I wasn't expecting for breakfast but not bad. There was plenty of chicken and veggies within the sandwich. The bread was a bit rough and will rip the roof of your mouth. The employees working the counter were polite. I was surprised by how they personally knew many of the customers walking in! It truly felt like a small town coffee shop where they know the locals. I went here to practice drawing and I drew the front counter. The space is lovely for focusing and spend a morning to get creative. I will definitely come back here. My experience was very pleasant.
