This place is my cuppa (bubble) tea 🍵 {press meal}
Bloomin’ ‘eck. Blackheath is a sexy part of town isn’t it? If I lived there, I’d 100% be a regular at the new veggie Vietnamese cafe there: @buddha_taste 🇻🇳
Here’s what I ate:
🥖 Nil-beef baguette w/ pickled salad, lettuce, cucumber, coriander & chilli
💰£6.50
🤷🏼♀️ Order again? No. Nice & fresh but a little dry. Needed some kind of sauce
