Cafe La Vie is a hidden gem in Tacoma's Lincoln International District, known for serving the best Vietnamese sandwiches in town. With their toasted bread and fresh ingredients, their sandwiches are a must-try. Additionally, their menu offers a range of delicious Vietnamese dishes, and when dining in, complimentary tea is served with your meal.
Visitors can expect Southeast Asian-style coffee made with evaporated milk as their dairy sweetener, giving it an authentic taste. The cafe, located in a house, offers limited parking but is worth the visit for the flavorful food and nostalgic ambiance that transports you to Vietnam.
