About Homese - Vietnamese Coffee & Cuisine

Varsity Lakes locals treat this breezy street-side eatery like their weekday kitchen. The concise menu cuts straight to the point—crisp banh mi stacked with golden pork belly, delicate bao, and clean, fragrant bowls of beef pho that hit the spot every time. Office workers make a ritual out of the grilled pork vermicelli salad paired with chilled peach iced tea. If you need a proper afternoon kick, grab a traditional cà phê sữa đá layered with dark roast and sweet condensed milk over ice.

  • Concise Street Staples: A focused lineup centered on crispy pork belly banh mi, fluffy bao, and traditional pho.
  • Afternoon Vietnamese Brews: Rich cà phê sữa đá and fruity iced teas served well past the standard early afternoon cutoff.
  • Breezy Street-Side Counter: A dependable weekday lunch stop known for quick turnarounds and warm hospitality.

Why Diners Choose Homese

Discover why Varsity Lakes locals rely on Homese for authentic street food, rich broths, and specialty drinks.

  • Crisp, authentic banh mi made for quick work lunches

    Fresh baguettes filled with crispy roasted pork belly, pickled vegetables, and balanced seasonings satisfy midday cravings rapidly, whether dining in or catering team lunches.

    The fresh baguette had just the right amount of crunch, and the balance of pickled veggies, spring onion, and chilli made each bite incredibly satisfying.

    Rich, authentic spicy beef noodle soups like bún bò Huế provide vibrant regional Vietnamese flavors crafted to high culinary standards.

  • Afternoon specialty Vietnamese coffee service

    Providing robust Vietnamese iced coffee and beverage service past 3 PM fills a distinct local afternoon void for workers and locals seeking a daytime lift.

    they are the only place open for coffee in Varsity after 3pm!
