BEP's logo

A special thank you to Lauren, Megan, and Alisha for helping to design the perfect logo. I feel a special connection to this logo. The colors are true to my Vietnamese origin and the dove represents Peace - the meaning of my name, An.

Finally! The BEP is open!!!

The long awaited BEP is finally having its first opening this MLK day: Monday, January 19th from 11 am to 10 pm.  

Simple Cafe, a cozy French eatery, will be taken over by BEP every Monday. For now, it will be open exclusively on Mondays.

I will be taking control of the bep (kitchen in Vietnamese) and will be serving Vietnamese staples like Pho, Hu Tieu, Cha Gio, and Banh Mi.

For a quick bite, I recommend that you grab a Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich). BUT, nothing could be better than a nice, hot, steaming bowl of Pho (Tonkin beef noodle soup) or Hu Tieu (Saigon pork and shrimp noodle soup) during this arctic winter...

Every week, I will be posting the menu for the upcoming Monday as there may be changes and specials. 

* BEP, at Simple Cafe: 346 Bedford Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11211 (Corner of Bedford Ave. and S. 3rd)

   Hours: 11 am - 10 pm

Hope to see you here or there!
