Nomad Cafe - Oakland

Best Tofu Banh mi in East Bay! And found a secret menu where my new breakfast goes! EGG BANH MI! The vegetables are fresh, the bread is so soft and crisp at the same time, and the agitator was perfectly cooked.

I love this place. Bunch of tables you can work on your laptop while charging, many electric outlets. And the food is delicious

Nomad Cafe is the neighborhood coffeeshop needs every place. Great coffee, excellent food, all in a friendly environment. Thanks for having such a beautiful outdoor terrace!

Nomad Cafe is a neighborhood staple. The owners and staff are always friendly and they learn your name quickly if you visit regularly. We've been patrons of nomad for ~5 years and we eat their banh mi sandwiches at least once a week. Thus, they've also memorized our order. As a 9 year vegetarian, their tofu banh mi is one of the best I've ever had. The veggies are fresh and let me tell you they do NOT skimp on bread quality. Have you ever had Semifreddi's bread? (Think: fresh baked bread shelves at Berkeley bowl Well, that is the bread you'll get with the banh mi and it is perfection (not like the styrofoam vehicles for veggies that you might get from other spots . At any rate, I buy a banh mi every time I go for a day hike, and it's because they are quality, well wrapped, well presented sandwiches. If you look at my photos, I took them AFTER hiking 5 miles uphill and throwing my backpack around a few times. You'll notice: the banh mi looks perfectly ready to be eaten next to a stream in the redwoods. Many thanks to Nomad for powering me through hikes, bike rides, and at least one super long trail run :

Great spot for a quick breakfast, the lox sandwich was packed with veggies and the sausage breakfast sandwich was pretty tasty. The bakery items in the morning seemed like they were from yesterday but we're still good. Quick simple breakfast for on the go. Nothing too flashy here.
