Tí Cafe offers Vietnamese brews, teas, pastries, and two standouts you won’t find everywhere: flan coffee and egg coffee. The egg coffee in particular hits like a warm hug — a thick, tiramisu-like mousse made from whisked egg yolk, condensed milk, and sugar floating over rich coffee. It’s balanced, bold, and beautifully layered. | 🎮 Inside? Retro arcade games and moody art vibes that feel more like a mini-gallery than a café. Service is stellar and worth the visit alone. | Pro tip: Parallel parking on Broadway can be a pain. If you see a spot, grab it. |
