Hiroki makes wonderful Japanese desserts like soufflé cheesecake and matcha tiramisu along with some standards like gateau Basque and almond custard brioche. There are a few outdoor tables and even more inside, and the Tangletown location makes an easy stop during a stroll around the lake or a quick detour to pick up dessert afterward.
This Green Lake sandwich shop is as cute and modern as the illustrations on the menu board hanging over its counter. The Vietnamese sandwiches on offer get fun new names like the Mekong (grilled pork) and Sapa (sauteed tofu) but stay true to the flavor of classic banh mi, stacked with jalapeños, pickled carrots and daikon, and basil-cilantro aioli. They also offer similar ingredients in bowl form, as well as a wide variety of customizable bubble tea options. Food and drinks come out quickly, and the Green Lake adjacent location makes it an excellent stop for picking up a picnic to take to the park.
