Only take-out currently with COVID-19 restrictions. Drinks might take a while to make as they also get a lot of delivery/take-out orders lined up, but it is worth the wait.
My order:
Pandan Waffles: highly recommend this! I came back several times just to pick up some waffles. The centre is very chewy (almost like mochi), with a nice crispy shell and a hint of pandan flavour (like coconut). Eat it while its hot for the best texture.
Mangonada Smoothie: this is a spicy n’ salty sweet drink, flavoured with chamoy sauce. Mix well. Comes with a cute mini straw coated with spices I I think (this straw does not go all the way to the bottom, so make sure you grab a straw from the counter before you leave).
Ube Iced Latte: packs a strong caffeine punch (Viet iced coffee), with a smooth ube flavour. Consistency is a bit more viscous due to the ube paste in the drink. Great balance of flavours.
Avo-Coffee Smoothie: super thick coffee smoothie, with an avocado aftertaste. Drink it while cold, as the avocado taste can be quite overpowering when the drink warms.
Traditional Vietnamese Iced Coffee (not pictured): strong viet coffee with condensed milk. Perfect balance of bitter to sweetness. Great for caffeine addicts like myself.
Drinks may seem a bit pricy at first, but it's worth it as it's a large drink, and some of them are very filling (eg. avo-smoothie) that can be a sort of small meal replacer. They also use real ingredients.
I tried their Avocado smoothies it was ok for me but if you are looking for a sweet side of it maybe you can ask them to add some honey or sugar up to your personal preference. 🙈 to come up with my visit I would say one of the hidden gems along Kingsway. Good and clean place with their covid19 protocols enforced. Bonus points for me the smells of freshly ground coffee and the smells of pandan coming from their freshly made waffles. 🤗👍
The drinks are good but the people here are not friendly and the service is horrendous.
I had Bambu for the first time in the States, and it's just as good as I had it then! Really bummed that this is the only location in Vancouver. I love their Che menus, probably my go-to dessert, as well as their milk teas and fruit teas! Everything tastes very fresh, never had an undercooked boba or an old fruit. Staffs are super friendly as well! I'm moving away to the other side of the city, but anytime I'm around this area, I'm definitely going to stop by here :) (Fruit Addict/Mango Fruit Tea)
