Reviews For Oak Ca Phe

Came here on a Saturday with my boyf without having made a reservation. They managed to seat us within 5 mins, no problem. We ordered the iced salted latte, pandan latte, coconut curry and noodles. Everything was so so tasty! I’m usually a picky eater and have tried food from the bigger chain ‘Pho’ but hated it. The food here was the opposite, would absolutely recommend. Servers are lovely too 5/5

This is a great addition to the high street and we were not disappointed. Upon arrival the place was not too busy and we were seated very quickly which is always a bonus. The menu was not over complicated and the choices were varied. We opted for the salt & pepper squid and spring rolls for starters. The squid was fresh and soft and the springs rolls were devoured with ease. For mains we had the chicken pho, beef pho, slow cooked beef stew and beef vietnamese coconut curry. The pho was very filling and the taste was on point. The slow cooked beef was amazing and so soft that I would try this again. The curry was also very tasty. All in all it was good experience and have no issues in coming back again. The staff are also very friendly. Keep up the good work guys!!

I wish I had came to this place earlier! What a gem! Such a beautiful and ambient cafe with loads of seating and outdoor space. We had the Vietnamese Coffee and also their Tuna Toasties and a Dragonfruit smoothie. Everything was delicious and cant wait to visit again!

We tried their brunch. The food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to try the lunch menu. There is pay and display parking nearby. Service was good and efficient as well.

Modern setting with good ambience. Delicious food with impeccable service. We had delicious garlic and chilli wings with summer rolls that were light and refreshing. Then mains was a chicken coconut curry and a fragrant beef Pho. Both delicious and filling!! Finished off with a Carrot cake Definitely coming again.

Arrived at about 12 pm today to a really warm, kind and friendly welcome! Sadly, I forgot to ask the guy (who greeted me) his name, but he made the most incredible and unforgettable Chai Latte! Please get one! Food was jam-packed with so much flavour too. The Chicken Pho was so good I almost slurped from the bowl, and there were lots of new additions that caught my eye as they landed on other tables. Hats off to the chefs who have obviously worked really hard to perfect the menu. Just wanted to add too, that the customer service was impeccable. There's obviously been lots of trial and error (with staffing) but today everything was so seamless where customer service was concerned. The new additions to the team went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was really well looked after, and did so with a smile. There's obviously been lots of positive, constructive and noteworthy change with Oak and it didn't go unnoticed.

Wow. This place is a absolute GEM! Lovely vibe. The food is freshly made and so so good. We went for brunch and some great fusion ideas. I had a chicken croissant. Cannot express how delighted with it I was. Also tired the peach tea which is made on site and was divine. Amazing cafe will definitely be back when in Brum next
