3400 J St G1
Philadelphia, PA 19134
The menu at Càphê Roasters in Kensington — devised by chef Jacob Trinh of Trinh Eats — is full of amazing Vietnamese staples replete with house-made ingredients. The banh mi is a work of art, though: with a host of different customizable options, and three staple orders, you can see Trinh's talents at work. Khang's Special Banh Mi comes with gochu-glazed fried chicken and fried eggs, with pate, mayo, and all the requisite banh mi fixin's. It's perfect.

Philadelphia, PA 19122
The Philly favorite for ginormous breakfast sandwiches and even bigger lunch options has been such a hit since it opened in 2017 that it now has a second outpost in Fishtown, where all the sandwiches you'd find at the Washington Square West location are available to eat in or take to-go. The So Long Sal — with Italian meats and cheeses, artichoke relish, and balsamic mayo — is a favorite.
