🧭 Lakatta Tip
Swing by between 11 AM–2 PM for a quieter experience—quieter hours mean more seats, power outlets, and study space. Try the Bánh Mì Pork Sandwich and a Vietnamese egg or coconut coffee first—they’re the café’s bestsellers. While the café is compact, it offers Wi‑Fi and charging slots—bring headphones if you’re working during later hours.
