Ava Street Cafe - Baton Rouge

Wasn’t expecting much from a Vietnamese restaurant in BR, but was pleasantly surprised. The spring rolls and steamed buns made great appetizers and the 225 vegan bowl was delicious. Glad we went while in town visiting our non-vegan family.

Passing through BR and came across this restaurant on HappyCow. Very impressed!

Ava builds their vegan options around lemon grass tofu. For example, they offers a tofu bahn me sandwich (specify vegan, and they'll spread avocado on it instead of mayo), a noodle bowl (with delicious sauce and lots of fresh veggies, along with the tofu), cold spring rolls (filled with veggies and tofu, served with peanut sauce), and occasionally vegan pho. For a few weeks last winter, there was a vegan spicy noodle soup that was AMAZING check the special board in the front when you walk in! The food is all good. Portions are generous the noodle bowl is probably enough for two meals for most people, so plan on leftovers (or share).

Very happy with the lemongrass tofu bowl and vegetarian egg rolls.

Since 2018 regularly here and the food was always delicious! The Pho is just so good, I've always finished my bowl when I get it. Not to mention how beautiful the staff is! You're really nice and patient to me, especially if I don't know what to eat. Staff even helps me get some of their best foods
