This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Delaware chapter.

This Vietnamese sandwich cafe is unlike any Vietnamese restaurant I’ve seen before.  I’ve never heard of Banh Mi sandwiches until I discovered it here and now I’m on the hunt for more.  The cafe is far down on Main Street but it is definitely worth the walk, even all the way from Laird. It’s definitely a great lunch spot when you just want to relax and enjoy something different.

This is a garlic chicken banh mi.  I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered it, but I was pleasantly surprised after taking my first bite.  Inside you will find chicken that is subtly flavored with garlic and topped with pickled vegetables and jalapeno. The ingredients seemed so fresh and it didn’t leave me with that full, guilty feeling that many sandwiches tend to leave behind.

These shrimp and pork summer rolls were perfect in every way.  They were so fresh and light, almost as if they were literally summer in a roll.  The dipping sauce is a traditional plum sauce and it certainly completed the dish.  The rolls were so massive I would suggest having it as a meal or splitting them with a friend.  I really enjoyed these especially because they seem to be a great healthy choice and definitely leave you feeling satisfied.

Sara studies at the University of Delaware (go blue hens!), and absolutely loves it. She is currently studying communications and english with a professional writing concentration. and is fostering a developing interest in public relations after having been introduced to the field through the Public Relations Student Society of America at UD. That has inspired her to concentrate in public relations in the future, though she is a firm believer in getting a well-rounded education and taking a bunch of classes in various subjects. Wherever her education takes her, Sara has always had a passion for writing and will continue her writing in any way possible throughout the remainder of her college years and beyond! Born in New York City, she appreciates and is preparing for the fast paced lifestyle of a city girl, but enjoys the more relaxed nature of her hometown on the Jersey Shore (though she is not affiliated in any way with the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore). Only minutes from the beach, Sara tries not to take the beautiful atmosphere for granted. Similarly, she tries not to take anything else in her life for granted, and in this sense, prides herself on her strong work ethic. She believes that when life gets tough, it’s only because something great is on the horizon. She adores music, her family and friends, movies, writing, magazines, and travel. Sara cannot wait to see what else college has in store for her, and is ready to take more risks and live with no regrets. She is beyond thrilled to be part of the Her Campus team, and looks forward to writing and editing content that focuses on an audience of college women dedicated to achieving their aspirations.
