Wishi Co. occupies a plant-filled corner on Nicollet Avenue in Powderhorn, split into two distinct services under one roof. Mornings belong to a brunch café built around stone-ground matcha whisked to order and Vietnamese coffee served in variations like crème brûlée, pistachio, and salted cheese. The day menu runs from matcha French toast to a pesto sandwich and the Nicollet burger.
When the afternoon turns, the same room becomes a sober bar. Dinner service brings on dishes like sizzling bò né, bánh mì chimichurri, and pan-seared salmon, paired with a zero-proof cocktail list built on N/A spirits, fruit, and spice — Guava Kiss, Da Lat Empress, a Pho Spice Sour, and a Canh Chua Cooler among the pours drawing on Vietnamese dishes and regions for their flavor cues.
