My favorite vietnamese! Staff told me before they have branch specials, I’m not a local in the area so I wanna try but I just can’t resist ordering vietnamese from time to time. They also have a pastry selection which was new to me bc NCR only has a few. Was gonna try the matcha croissant but it was sold out and the cheese wasn’t okay to me, v deflated n sad looking, hope it improves though.

love the plain croissant and the matcha latte has to be my fav

Friendly staff and their Strawberry Ade Soda is really refreshing. I also love their messy brownies.

The things that you will love about BFC is how friendly the crew is towards their customers and how satisfying their coffee is. Must try their new blends!!!!

The drinks are all good but when it comes to their pastries and pasta it's not that satisfying because they only reheat it with the microwave.

Cozy minimalist place with inexpensive quality coffee and food choices.
