About Van's Cafe

PRICES ARE UPDATED

Van's Cafe is a restaurant in Reading, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 506 Penn Ave, Reading, PA 19611, which places it among the local businesses of Reading that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

In Reading, hotel lobbies and bookstore cafes are reliable places to work or meet when neighborhood cafes are full, and most grocery stores open early with a coffee bar or bakery counter near the entrance. Across Pennsylvania, gas-station and convenience-store coffee is the practical option on the road, and many bars open in the morning as coffee shops before switching to cocktails at night. Check the listing for hours, parking and the Google rating, and call ahead for coworking day passes or espresso-machine repairs, which are usually by appointment.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–8 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (610) 741-6466. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

With 4.2 out of 5 on Google from 407 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for restaurants in Reading. Recent reviews are the best guide.

Reading is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Reading follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The owner’s β€œcustomer service” is just as trash as her food is, yet she still has the audacity to price gouge everything. I get that everything costs a lot these days but an appetizer, two bowls of pho, and two drinks for nearly $100 is just robbery at that point. Folks, save yourselves the money and headaches by steering clear of this establishment.

Please make yourself a favor and do not put a foot in this restaurant. I had the most disgusting experience with this service at this restaurant. I ordered a order of fresh rolls and a tofu sandwich these 2 order came first also order a pho beef soup and 45 minutes later of me waiting I was told that they forgot about Placing my order then after they saw me uncomfortable, they told me they were going to make it, I saw them take out my soup from the microwave, They gave me a cold soup, noodle was broken in tiny pieces. Beef taste old and in Less then a minute after I taste the soup I return it and told them the soup was bad. To be honest, this soup tasted like it was a leftover from another customer, and they served it to me because there was in a rush, like I said almost an hour of me waiting and they still charge me the soup knowing well that the soup was rush and bad, I would have preferred not to leave a bad review but in this bad economy is a must.

Pho House really hit the spot The shrimp toast was super crispy and honestly hard to stop eating The shrimp drunken noodles had the perfect mix of flavor and heat, and the beef stir fry was tender and really well done But the beef meatball pho… that broth was next level!!!! Rich, layered, and just really comforting in a way you don’t forget Also have to shout out our waiter Kevin and the staff They were genuinely kind and super attentive without ever being overbearing Made the whole meal feel easy and welcoming Really good food, really good people We’ll definitely be back

I called in for a take-out order. I repeated my order three times - specifically that I wanted my tofu steamed and not fried. I ordered pork rice vermicelli, vegetable stir fry and the fish cold wraps as an appetizer. Every single dish had all the same ingredients, it all tasted like old fry oil, and my tofu was fried. The place itself is disgustingly dirty. How does it pass health inspection? The bill? $70 and I threw it all in the trash because it was so oily and bland. Save your money and time and eat elsewhere.

We drove 2 hours to try this restaurant. The food was ok. The fried chicken was super dry. Price was a little higher than other pho restaurants. The owner was not very friendly, she overcharged us for an extra bowl of pho that we didn’t get. The receipt only shows the total amount, not per item. When we found out, it was too late.
