Banh mi is a standout in customer feedback. Visitors describe fresh bread, crisp vegetables, juicy meat, and a mayonnaise sauce, with one reviewer calling the sandwich the most authentic they had tasted since being in Vietnam. Another praised the flavor and mentioned a $5.50 banh mi alongside Vietnamese coffee; that price reflects one customer's visit and may not represent current menu pricing. Together, these comments point to a satisfying choice for someone looking for a Vietnamese sandwich and coffee in Salt Lake City. The reported fresh, crunchy, and savory elements give potential diners a concrete idea of what customers have enjoyed, while individual portions and experiences can vary.

Pho is another reason some customers come by, including visitors glad to find a shop serving it early in the day. Feedback on the pho is mixed: one reviewer found the broth mediocre and oily, and felt the serving had only a few pieces of steak. That perspective is worth considering if pho is your main reason for visiting, since it shows that not every meal has met the same expectations. Other customers describe the food more generally as delicious, so reviews reflect different experiences rather than a single guaranteed outcome. Vietnamese coffee is also mentioned positively alongside the banh mi, making the café a possible stop for a sandwich and coffee as well as a full meal.

Customer comments also give a glimpse of the service: one guest appreciated a friendly conversation with the owner, while others focused on tasty food and the sandwich's fresh components. The available feedback does not establish a particular dining-room style or amenities, so it is best to think of Café Thảo Mi through the dishes and personal service customers actually mention. With a 4.2-star rating from 72 reviews, experiences are varied, and reading recent feedback can help set expectations. Café Thảo Mi may suit early risers, people seeking Vietnamese coffee and banh mi, and diners in the area who want to explore Vietnamese food. Its address in Carriage Square makes it a neighborhood choice for visitors in Salt Lake City looking for a casual stop during its morning and afternoon hours.
