What Jie L doesn't like about French Coffee Shop:
I was looking for a quick cheap lunch and I found it at Ba Le coffee shop. For $10 I got 2 bang mis, a special and a grilled pork. I think this place is a great example of you get what you paid for, the bread was not the freshest and you get minimal filling that is if mediocre quality, it's cheap and it works, and the quality reflects in its price. It's up to the individual person to decide if this is what they are l... View all feedback. What Karen D likes about French Coffee Shop:
No frills type of cafe restaurant but the food is on point. I ordered a beef stew noodle and it was flavorful with just the right amount of spice. My dad ordered a peanut based noodle soup and that's his regular order here. Highly recommend! They also sell Vietnamese sandwiches View all feedback.

Great sandwiches very affordable! The bread is fresh too.

Ba Le coffee shop offers a quick and affordable lunch option with their banh mi sandwiches. The quality of the sandwiches reflects the low prices, with basic baguettes and minimal fillings. While some found the sandwiches to be decent for the price, others felt that nothing particularly stood out about them. Despite some mixed reviews on the food, customers appreciate the classic California Banh Mi for $4. The restaurant's atmosphere also adds to the experience, with the feel of a home away from home for many guests. The pho at this spot receives high praise, with patrons noting the authentic taste of the beef broth. While the restaurant only accepts cash, the delicious food and warm service make it a highly recommended spot in the neighborhood.

Chicken pho and beef noodle soups were delicious and the fresh ginger on the side was a nice touch.
