Tay Tah Café

Stopped by Tay Tah Café on Solano Ave in Albany for lunch and had the Avocado Tofu Banh Mi—fresh, flavorful, and such a generous portion that I had to take half home. They also serve coffee, tea, boba, and smoothies. A really nice spot, I’d definitely come back.

Beautiful simple and delightful cafe in Albany. Stopped for a Boba and Banh Mi and have fully made this one of my regular neighborhood spots. The sandwiches are killer. ❤️ And the owners are amazing. Definitely worth a stop!

When searching for a quick, easy, and filling lunch during my break, I ended up here at this cute little Viet Bagel & Banh Mi shop called Tay Tah Cafe! When you first enter, you’re guided by arrows that lead you to the ordering tablet, or you can order at the main counter. The shop is small, but has plenty of counter seating and some small tables available as well! In between the front door and ordering, there’s a selection of chips and snacks for you to browse as well. I was initially looking to order Banh Mi but was a bit intimidated by the $17/banh mi price tag. I opted in for an open face Asiago Bagel with Lox for $13 and placed my order. Breakfast orders that are $10+ get a free house coffee as well, so of course I opted in for it! There’s a bathroom just around the corner from the ordering kiosk, but while I was making my way over there, the kind staff let me know that they are actually sold out of lox. They offered me a refund or to change what I ordered. I decided to switch to the Asiago Bagel with Ham, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese since it was the same price as the Lox! My coffee came out first, and the person who gave me my coffee also filled up my cup with ice when I asked! The coffee itself had a nice deep & bitter flavor which I look for in a house coffee. The sandwich was STUFFED full. I’ve never had a bagel breakfast sandwhich where I’ve quite had to unhinge my jaw like this. My photos did not do the sandwich justice, but I promise it’s so much bigger than you’d expect! The eggs were perfectly fluffy and smothered in cheese. The ham and bacon were cooked to my personal liking. If you like crispy bacon, maybe mention that to them, because it was perfectly chewy for me. The bagel, was soft, fluffy, yet so bouncy, and I LOVE that there are poppy seeds mixed into their Asiago bagel. The cost to quantity ratio for the breakfast sandwich was 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be back when I need a hearty sandwich.

I ordered Thai Tea boba They add different kind of boba and it’s really expensive Test is okay

This is a great shop with the most amazing boba drinks (try the 50:fifty please). We drove over half an hour just to come and have their drinks and food!!! Amazing customer service as well.
