| - Delightful Cafe is more of a Vietnamese/Chinese Restaurant than a cafe, but it is delightful!
It looks as if it is a converted coffee and donut store, which would explain why for years there was a sign the said "Delightful Donuts Cafe". This is completely unfounded speculation, but my guess is that new owners took over the existing donut business but knew how to do Vietnamese food, not donuts. It took them a while to get ride of the original sign, but eventually were able to cross some words out and became the Delightful Cafe.
Being of Tim Hortons-esque donut/coffee design on the inside, they have a counter and till that looks like you should walk up to order from, but there are no menu items listed behind the counter. Fooled you! You don't need to order from the counter; just grab yourself a seat and they'll hit you up with a menu.
They've got a huge menu of well over 100 items ranging from Vietnamese subs, to a whole page dedicated to Chinese food another page for Pho and then they've got a bunch of western foods and breakfast items like eggs and bacon.
I really have no idea what their specialty is. Is it really possible to specialize in over a hundred items? By looking at some of the baked goods, I didn't think their western fair would be all that special, so I went with some Beef Pho (item #91).
It was really tasty and a good value! For $10 including a can of Dr. Pepper, I received a large portion with more than enough noodles and broth and a health amount of beef as well too. It's served with a good chunk of lime, sprouts and basil, all of which were really crispy and fresh. It was as good as any pho going!
