Comeback Cafe Emeryville Reviews
They gave my kid some cute stickers with our purchase of a mango green tea. The tea was tasty. We'll be back.
Bought some fruit teas here and they were delicious. Huge chunks of fruit plus the service was amazing. Very sweet lady at small local coffee shop.
I love the shrimp spring rolls. I love the Vietnamese sandwiches. I love the flavorful drinks. This place is family owned, and now open again every day. Really nice people and the lowest prices in town these days.
I’ve noticed the sidewalk sign for the last few weeks and finally stopped in today. I had the vermicelli noodle plate with chicken. It was delicious! Everything tasted very fresh and it came with a good portion of sauce on the side. Will be back.
Finally open! Great place for some authentic Vietnamese food. Had the Banh Mi sandwich and it was yummy 🤤
Amazing coffee, great pho, mouth watering Bun Bo Hue. It is great addition to the area for sure. Come by to try the Salted Coffee here guys ☕️☕️☕️
The food and drinks are very delicious. It's very flavorful and not too sweet. 10/10

Just moved here last month. Noticed this spot a couple times. Finally gave it a try today. Beef bahn mi and shrimp spring rolls were delicious! I’ll be back.
The sandwiches are HUUGGGE and so good! Every component was terrific, the bread had the perfect texture, the meat was super tasty, and the sauce and vegetables worked great together. And only $9! IMO, best lunch spot in Emeryville hands down
Great spot for delicious food. Drinks were wonderful too. The people were helpful while I was taking time to decide what I wanted to order. The table outside is a nice spot to eat while reading/ working.
Tofu banh mi and lychee tea, good food good drink.
They do a great job with all their bobas. Love their Taro latte and ube matcha lattes. Amazing banh mi
Food was fresh. Had the beef vermicelli and spring rolls. Customer service was great. The lady at the register was nice and polite.
A friend recommended that I try this place while I was visiting from Las Vegas. This place has great food and Boba drinks. You are near the Bay in the Emeryville area so the weather is nice, with plenty of shopping near by. When you walk in the door you are greeted with staff that are eager to serve you. They have an assortment of Bun MI sandwiches, and a great selection of Boba drinks. I can’t say enough about this. I will definitely visit again!!
The mushroom tofu spring rolls are something worth writing about! They're quite flavorful, yummy, and light. It's a perfect on-the-go meal, and such a reasonable price. And the service was great! I'll be back to try their other vegetarian options.

solid banh mi at a reasonable price! Vietnamese iced coffee was good too. Affordable and good all around!
Supporting local business in Emeryville. Note that this place is on Christie opposite to FedEx, not inside the public market. The noodles, while not the best pho in the bay area, they are decent. Both noodles they served came with delicious broth. Unlike many pho places, these didn't leave you with a dry mouth. Wish their beef can be softer and more tendered - that's the only (but critical) place to lose shine. You know - always room for improvement. Can't wait to come back and try their banh mi.

One of the better options in the area for food. Its a small, with a very "hole-in-the-wall" feel, but only in the very best way. Food tastes fresh and feels authentic. Better than other Vietnamese food I've had in the immediate vicinity. Bahn Mi is good, as is their cabbage salad.
Great drinks. I had the Ube coffee. My wife had a matcha latte. They ask you how sweet you want your drinks. Get the nem nuong banh mi or beef and onion banh mi. My wife and I felt like we were back in Vietnam when we saw the cholimex and chin-su sauce on the tables for the customers. The cafe is pretty no frills and has limited space. Lunch was pretty cheap, and it was good. I'd come back to Comeback Cafe.

Great small local business. The food is delicious and price is reasonable! 2025/10 updates: Not sure if they changed the owner or so. The menu is different and the foods also taste completely different. I order shrimp spring roll but the sauce has heavy coconut flavor which I am not the fan of that. I like the old menu and foods much better.
