B&T Cafe

First time trying, food is really yummy and a great price. Ran in to grab a bite before my nail appointment next door. I did combination fried rice and dumplings for food. Shrimp & chicken ate super tasty, good size too. Got a strawberry black tea as well. Got my food quick! Would recommend trying!

First time visit. Ordered pork Banh mi and taro coconut smoothie. Friendly service. Boba smoothie tasted a little faint in flavor. Banh mi was on the smaller portions side, but was good and the pate was very good.

I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Thai Tea drinks. Both were not too sweet at all which is great. The coffee really wakes you up 🤩 the tapioca isn’t too sweet at all. It’s still nice and squishy. Banh Mi - 5/5 The Lemon grass beef & BBQ Pork is really flavorful! The bread is soft and has a nice crunch! It doesn’t mess up the roof of your mouth. Owner is really nice and the employees treat you well. While your washing your clothes at the washateria next door you can enjoy some good food while you wait :)

I got broken rice and it was good! The bánh mì wasn’t bad, but the bulgogi fries are ok… good service and the boba drinks are good!!

Bahn mi BBQ pork sandwich was great for the price in this area, just wish it had a tad bit more pork in it. Service was awesome. Hopefully the owner (very polite) is able to deal with the radiating heat front the ceiling with the leaser. Quite warm inside, even with all the fans going. Overall pretty good little Vietnamese food joint one would not expect to be in such a small strip center, easy to miss.

I went to wash my clothes next door today due to power being out from Beryl and I found this place. I always try and review places I feel are worth the trip and this is definitely one of them. I will definitely be coming here more often as it is flavourful and priced well. Support small businesses always.

Found an amazing Banh Mi spot! The classic sandwich I had was bursting with flavors - crispy baguette, tasty grilled pork, fresh veggies, and a hint of spice. The owner and staff were really friendly. Affordable and cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

When I walk into a restaurant or establishment, I think, I can’t wait to leave a great review. When I walked in, no one else was in the restaurant. With the cashier’s advice, I ordered the pork broken rice with a runny egg. I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee. People came and went consistently. Other orders were placed and received. I waited 37 minutes on one singular order. The pork was no longer steaming hot. It was lukewarm at best. It’s extremely disappointing. The couple who came after me, ordered multiple items received all of it and I was never even talked to. I turned around to ask and I was abruptly told that my order after 37 minutes was being bagged. I changed my order to to-go when around 20 minutes that I wasn’t going to get food at a reasonable time. 🙁🥺

Came here to grab a banh mi as my in flight dinner and was not disappointed! I got the combo banh mi and the service was quick. I had to take a bite fresh and the bread was so crisp and the fillings were so fresh and flavorful. Its a great quick stop for banh mi or boba even! And for ~$6 a banh mi, def a great, affordable option!

We ordered Beef Sandwich & Pork Sandwich Positives: * bread tasted good *veggies inside and sauce tasted good Negatives: * Meat was not cooked well * Meat was flavorless * Meat had tough fat for the most part Really disappointing, wanted to like the food but I've just had better anywhere else. Maybe it was an off day for the cook, but the meat all tasted undercooked without flavor.

Normally, I would probably rate B&T Cafe between four and five stars, but I am deducting 2 stars based on the subpar vermicelli dish I received recently. There are so many toppings which can be added to vermicelli: sprouts, shredded carrots, daikon radish, chopped peanuts, cilantro, toasted or sautéed onion, etc. And to that end, I even had a conversation over the phone with a woman who works at B&T. She assured me my order would have the shredded carrots and sprouts as well as jalapeño. None of the aforementioned ingredients were included. Instead, the vermicelli dish just included green leaf lettuce, soggy green onion and cucumber. Even so, I was still able to salvage and enjoy the dish because I ordered cha gio eggrolls and chopped one, adding it to the mix. I think the beef was a bit tougher compared to past experiences, but you also get more of it when you order the lemongrass beef banh mi, which is my usual go to order. So, I would just stick to banh mi in the future. On a positive note, B&T does seem to have improved overall after the change in ownership.

I've only been in Houston a short time but this is by far my favorite banh mi option in the city thus far. It's a tiny shop in a bustling plaza that you would not expect to have such high quality and affordable food and drink offerings. The combination banh mi is like the quintessential example of what I expect with fantastic crisp bread that is proportional to the toppings within (most places use rolls that are way too large and are too hard). There is just a small kick from the jalapeños - enough to heighten the experience but not enough to scare you away. Beware of the parking situation if you're driving or visits from out of town. The plaza shares spots among its tenants and signs are posted notifying drivers of potential towing if you're not going to a certain business. However, don't let that deter you. It's a pleasant surprise and one worth visiting. Their boba is pretty solid too. Go for the passionfruit with green tea and 50-75% sweetness. You won't be disappointed!

New Banh mi Sandwiches, Pho, & Boba! Can't go wrong with this place! Limited parking but definitely worth it! You won't see it but they have tables in the back area so you can sit down & eat there if you want. Usually store crazy busy during lunch hour so you can order ahead for to-go. Owner is great very friendly so don't miss out on this new place in Downtown Houston!

I didn't takes pics of the pho but this place was ok. I feel they may be know for their drinks, but I needed a quick fix. Service was great, very nice. The atmosphere was great, they had a few more seating in the back!

What's going on here?'!? Beyond disappointed and saddened to write an updated review but felt it necessary. Ordered the combination sandwich and shrimp spring roll. Spring roll was still on point but my bahn mi was very lack luster. I had been on a little bit of a hiatus from frequenting here so upon arrival I noticed the menu had changed with things removed and some items labeled out of stock and or covered up. When I placed my order the employee running both the register and food prep told me he thinks he had enough supplies to make one more of my specified sandwich (that perhaps should have been red flag for me). Received my order and let me tell you my combination sandwich has no combo of anything (no various cold cuts). In fact there was one type of ham cut in very large chunks (6 in total), hitting that cold cut box still but yet not. I got one slice of cucumber, a dash of shredded carrots (maybe they were pickled), single sprig of cilantro, few jalapeños, and tons of mayonnaise. All was just so very disappointing. Hoping it's just a fluke but I have to admit I'm not sure I'll return to find out such.

Really great store And the boba tea is good Plus the noodles The store is a little bit small but cute But the food is good Service is ok But I think they need more hands to maintain the place kind of slow

I'd give take away only 3 stars because their sauce really makes the sandwich soggy on the inside. Reminded me of dipping my bread in au jus

Grand Opening of B&T Cafe today. They offer 10% off all orders. Their "banhmi" is goodddd!!!!

Love this place! I'm glad they re-opened. I see they have Pho now. I'll have to try it!!

It pains me to dock stars for B&T because it has been my go to for so many years. Today was the day that broke the camel's back (appropriate considering it's hump day). Like always, we placed our order in advance like we always do with the restaurant for our work place. By the time the order came to us it was not only missing one of the bobas but also half the beef and pate from the order. My banh mi was so dry with pate just on the sides of the sandwich. The beef was practically nonexsitent. I felt like I had ordered a meal for a rabbit because the amount of cilantro just flooding out of the sandwich. I had also ordered a vegetarian pho. The broth was so salty. I don't remember when they changed the recipe but it ended up becoming like a saline solution instead of pho. I guess the best thing to do is just order it and have it while you are there in person.

Tiny spot in a tiny strip, this popular spot serves up boba tea and banh mi. It's very rare that I venture out of Chinatown for banh mi these days, but this long standing eatery has been on my bucket list for some time given its stellar reputation. It seems like this is mostly a to go spot because of the size. Yes, there is a dining room in the back, but this place is quite small and the seating is limited as well as the parking. The lemongrass beef banh I ordered was just okay. The beef was dry, and the portion of it was small. The bread, while toasted nicely, wasn't very flavorful. I'm not even sure they buttered the bread. Prices were very fair given their location in Montrose. The taste just wasn't there for me. The shared parking lot is very small and a bit rough to navigate. Nearby street parking is also available.

Here I am again. I love their Vietnamese coffee and sometimes (depending on who is working if they allow it) I get a mixed passion fruit/mango green tea - if they say no, then passion fruit green tea. Both tea and coffee I alter and get 25% sweetness. I finally tried the bahn mi, the bread was so good and the ingredients fresh. My husband rides along just to secure food always gets the combination fried rice and he likes it. Parking is a little sparse as you're competing with the nail shop and laundry mat, but on the next street over you can park on the street and walk. There's a couple window side seats if you want to eat it there. Otherwise you can take it to go. I'd recommend trying them out if you're in the area!

Glad to see this place reopen. Good Vietnamese coffee. Plates are small but decent. Good lunch place. Under new management. Went by there today and placed an order for the office staff. Young man very nice, polite and professional.

First time trying, food is really yummy and a great price. Ran in to grab a bite before my nail appointment next door. I did combination fried rice and dumplings for food. Shrimp & chicken are super tasty, good size too. Got a strawberry black tea as well. Got my food quick! Would recommend trying

Love this neighborhood spot. Solid bubble tea! I'm a big fan of everything I've had there. Food: 5/5 for the spicy pork banh mi. Not a lot of spice unless you bite into jalapeños. Good ratio of veggies to meat! I do wish there was more filling in general for the price, especially when you compare to other local spots. Atmosphere: 4/5, it's windowless in the back but quiet for studying. Cute, small cafe in front. If I eat there, I like to eat at the window to people watch. Boba: 5/5 except at times where they run out of boba! It's so good and fresh though that I forgive them. Highly recommend the Jasmine tea with boba and 50% sweetness or get the Strawberry soda with 25 or 50% sweetness + aloe Vera or mango jellies. You won't regret it.

Cute little place to grab a quick bite or drink. They had a variety of teas and other boba flavors and a decent selection of food as well. The parking lot and seating inside were both limited making it hard to find parking during lunch hours. I got the chicken broken rice bowl that came with a sweet and sour fish sauce which definitely made the dish more flavorful. The chicken was grilled and seasoned well and the portion of rice was good, although a bit hard in some parts. I would like to try their boba the next time I visit!

I came here for lunch with my boyfriend. We ordered two tofu banh mi and a classic black tea with boba and a peach black tea with boba. The wait was very long, I think we spent 20-25 minutes and we were the only people in there at the time of ordering. The banh mi was not worth the wait. I understand what people are saying about the portions. Way too much bread for the amount of filling inside. Also, there's a review that said the tofu was strange. I agree with that review. I've never had tofu the way it was from here. Really nothing went right here. The tea was just okay. I don't think we'll be back.

The spicy pork banh mi was delicious but not spicy aside from a few jalapeños. But you really can't complain when it's only $7. I also had a mango black tea and asked for no extra sugar. It was very refreshing. There is seating in the back and really only like one worker in there but fast, quick, cheap, and tasty. I'm a fan

Closest to traditional vietnamese flavors outside of Chinatown. Service was friendly and very helpful. House milk tea was great.

The employee at the front was so kinddddd. He gave us samples for a new drink they're gonna have this summer. And the food is amazing too, grilled chicken bahn mi ‍

Was there a change in ownership? Haven't been here in a while and my chicken BANH mi tastes weird. The bread tasted like soap and the filling looked like tuna fish that needed dressing. There's a lot of cucumbers , not too much carrots and I did not taste the butter. It didn't taste like a BANH mi anymore. Tasted more like a bad sandwich from a deli.

Great hospitality, fast service , cute decor and ambiance and awesome beverages !!! Also the beef Banh mi was amazing !!

I was so upset going here yesterday, everything felt off. When we used to come here more frequently the same guy and girl always worked in the front and everything was great, always. The food, the drinks, everything was really solid. They were also very polite. But now it was a guy that barely spoke and the drinks were extremely bland. My coffee milk tea barely tasted like coffee, and the signature milk tea just tasted like milk. We wondered if there was new management because everything felt so off. We'd always go when we were in the area, I guess we're not anymore. :(

After trying to visit in person a few times during their listed opening hours but finding a locked door, I finally tried B&T via DoorDash! The pork banh mi was flavorful and savory, would definitely order again! I ate it several hours after arrival but the bread held up and wasn't soggy at all. The pickled carrot shreds were on point. It was filling enough to be a light meal. The pork rice plate was a loooot of broken rice (just means fragmented grains) that microwaved up beautifully the next day topped with the same super flavorful pig marinated pork, although there was too much fat for me and I was trying to pick off pieces. It came with some lettuce, a few slices of cucumbers, and shredded carrots. Would probably try another meat bowl next time, but it was tasty overall and I would be happy to eat it again :D Downsides: Bummed that I paid for extra veggies on both the banh mi and the rice plate but didn't get that (got a total of 5 cucumber slices, a small spoonful of shredded carrots, and a few leaves of lettuce in the plate, and the banh mi didn't look like it had an extra helping of veggies). They should either take that option off the app or honor it. Use your money for something else! Their fish sauce tastes straight up like fish sauce and sugar; it's quite brown and doesn't have any of the usual lime and chili flavors-- so strong and not as pleasant @_@" I'll still try to make a visit in person if I'm in the area and craving some banh mi though, will have to try their drink offerings too. Hopefully they'll be open in person next time! :)

10/10 amazing customer service, quality ingredients , food was on point as well as the iced coffee will be back soon thank you for great service Brian Under new amazing management

Pretty good banh mi served here! I tried both the shredded chicken and the lemongrass beef and they were both pretty tasty. Additionally, the egg roll was really good. They also serve boba and smoothies. I had a honeydew smoothie which was super creamy and delicious. Prices are definitely low for Montrose. I wish they had an online ordering system but I couldn't even find a website for them. I recommend calling to order ahead (you can use the menu photos posted here for reference). Cute decor. Small parking lot.

Came for lunch on Sunday. Located in Montrose and had a small parking lot. Ordered a couple banh mi sandwiches and Thai tea/ soda drink. Banh mi ordered were the beef and grilled pork. The bread was pretty good but it was a little light on the toppings (meat and veggies). There was no pate so that was a little bit of a downer. The Thai tea was alright, and the soda drink was better than expected.

We have driven here twice and called them several times. It appears that they are closed permanently as of October 1, 2023.

The store looks great. Peppy and clean in that Asian boba tea shop sort of way. The service is attentive and reasonably fast. The food is ok. They did not have all menu items - ie the combination banh mi. The tofu banh mix was a little different - it looked like they used tofu skin rolled up. It made us think it was chicken but it was not. I wish they had included more vegetables and relish. I wish the bread was crispier.

Order Ahead!!! This place is busy with phone orders and online orders. It took me a long time to get my food. Time to put my food critic hat on. *puts on hat* the Banh Mi here is excellent, I'd say they nailed it. Take that for what it's worth, which is not much. I'm not a Banh Mi snob. You know what a Banh Mi snob is? these are people who hate every restaurant they go to and claim they can make it better at home or that it's not authentic. They're so angry at the food, and you're just sitting there trying to enjoy your food. They say hurtful things about the food, and deep down inside you disagree but since you're friends you smile and agree, but underneath that smile is a sweet boy who just loves sandwiches and just wants to eat without all the hate. Another PSA: 25% sugar is disgusting get at least 50% sugar.

If you're looking for a quick grab-n-go Vietnamese place, this place is great. The parking lot is really small and shares the lot with a couple of other places in this plaza. The banh mi here is probably a bit pricier compared to what you would get in Chinatown but it's still good and is filling enough. My boyfriend and I both got the combination banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffees. The Vietnamese iced coffee comes in a generous sized cup, so it is very well worth your money. Everything came out pretty fast when we came here. We've both ordered takeout here before and dined in. There are some very small dining areas in towards the back too.

I had a shredded chicken banh mi from B&T Cafe for lunch, and it was great! Since Les Givrals in Midtown closed, B&T Cafe probably offers in my opinion the best banh mi inside the loop. The shredded chicken was tender, and I really liked how the fresh bread had a slight sweetness to it. Just note that the prices are slightly more expensive than banh mi places outside the loop--but B&T Cafe charges about $5.00 instead of $3.00, so not a huge deal at all. Note that you can order in store or order for pickup or delivery on Doordash (the Doordah prices are about 10% more expensive), and I only had to wait about five minutes for my banh mi. Great spot!

Food is really good and incredible price. I am a fan of them from now. But they need to improve some things-its a very small place so I can understand but their dirty water after mopping was still on the hallway next to table. Floor was not clean. I will be back for sure! Hope their service and cleanness would improve next time!

I *loved* B&T for years, particularly their tofu bahn mi, which was the most unique I'd had in town and my favorite. Unfortunately now that they've re-opened under new management, the tofu is now way too salty and almost unchewably tough. I'm going to pray this is a one time problem and that I won't have to start going elsewhere for my bahn mi.

Used to love this place (when they deserved 5 stars - see my old review below) but they really FELL OFF. Less flavor, super skimpy portions (the filling to bread ratio in the banmi is scandalous) and they are NOT CHEAP. Also, they have a sign that says they will give you 5% off if you literally show them your yelp review. WTF? Sounds like coercement. No doubt they do this to juice their stats. So, no way do they deserve the yelp stars they are sporting. Go somewhere else for cheaper more delicious more substantial food and don't give business to people who cheat for stars.

Good bahn mi! Ordered the grilled lemongrass beef bahn mi. The bread was nice and crunchy and the beef and toppings tasted great! I do suggest you ask for hot sauce to add as well! With the stellar taco truck outside not too many people come here. I definitely recommend giving it a try! Will be back to try the pho

OMG. Ignore the 8/5/2023! New owners make the difference. Prices slightly higher but where are they not? Still totally worth it. Just picked up two Bahn Mi combination one with no jalapeño. Both guys are super nice and this is the BEST BAHN MI EVER. Super full. With old owners the fillings was getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Last time it was flat. The ones now are huge! My daughter even said this is way better than the ones before and those were good. If you were disappointed before, go back and see the difference with these new owners....night and day!

Had to check out B&T Cafe since I was in the area and craving pho. I'm SO glad I stopped by! It's a small place next to a laundromat, but they have reserved parking spaces. When you go inside, you're welcome with a cute wall backdrop, totally instagram worthy. There is plexiglass surrounding the counter. The food and drinks are reasonably priced. I ordered the beef special pho. The broth was really good, not salty at all. I liked how they have the condiments prepared in a sandwich bag. The containers were not flimsy either. They safely arrived to my home without a drop. :) Will definitely have to come again to try their other items! Highly recommend.

Not to be confused with BLT, which is more bland and more American. The best Viet Coffee in town, 3 times bigger than any of the others for the same price, with great tapioca too. Huge selection of Boba drinks also. Some of the best Banh Mi in a town that has the best Banh Mi selection in the US. What more do you need to know? Well, I'll tell you more then. Not to be confused with BFG, which is Roald Dahl. What to get: Viet Iced Coffee and stuff What stuff?: Banh Mi! What else: What else is there? Settle down Royksopp: But everywhere I go, there's always something to remind me. Of what, a caveman commercial?: I'm out. Not to be confused with BBFC, which is an English movie thing. Houston is of course blessed with the greatest Vietnamese food in North America, and there are so many examples of that, to the extent that it's kind of stupid. In Montrose we were hard-pressed (emphasis on hard) (wait what) to find one without heading into the shadows of the skyscrapers, over in Midtown at Les Givrals, or their new an excellent rival Cafe 13. Until now. Now everything has changed. Not to be confused with BBC, which is what Barbie likes... to watch. And more. B&T has some of the best Banh Mi sandwiches and possibly very best Vietnamese Coffee in town... and definitely the best value in Montrose too, by far. With the best value and best tasting Vietnamese coffee in town, in Montrose, yet with Vietnamesetown prices, which is probably the most remarkable thing of all. Not to be confused with BAT, which is followed by "sh** crazy" when describing Barbie in bed. I've been a big fan since I first tried this stuff a year ago or so, and there really isn't anything like a Vietnamese iced coffee from here. Not to be confused with BMG, which might be a record label. They also have wonderful service and lovely decor as well. We're not crazy about their Spring Rolls, which are premade (like Les Giv). Not to be confused with BAD, which is a very good (ironically) MJ album. They don't quite quite have the same sauce selection as some of our favourite places (they could do with some fresh homemade Chili Oil and other self service options beyond Sriracha), and yet the quality and standard and deliciousness means this is inevitably one of our favourite places in town to eat and drink straight away. Not to be confused with BNB, which is where I get action when in a seaside town. Unlike many Montrosians and Yelpers in general, I don't give a place *any* extra points for being in my neighbourhood (I can walk here in 5 mins), and in fact I drive out to Chinatown basically daily for food, or to places even further afield. The fact that it's within walking distance is a bonus for me, but it'd be an off-the-charts 5 whether it was here or in Kathmandu. And I'm a cat man. And if a regular guy can do decent stuff to your body, what can a cat man do? Think about it. Not to be confused with TNA, which is basically my pis of Barbie. Other yelpers love it too, and so they should, because it's just so good. Not to be confused with MC ME, who rapped for you earlier, and wrote these limericks for you: Wondering what to do with your day? Then let's us both go right away To the place with sandwiches That thrill all the b**ches And best coffee from BT Cafe So you want to stay home and play But first I must whisk you away To the best of Montrose Of Houston, I suppose Come and get some B&T Cafe It's the best Viet Coffee we've had And it makes Barbie want to be bad So we come here and sip Then we rush home and rip Barbie's clothes off, then she screams like mad.

Delicious banh mi for the price. Not a big fan of how they seasoned their pork. My friend got the broken rice. It's basically same ingredient for the banh mi except instead of the bread, they are served with the broken rice. Haha Don't think I'm amazed enough with their banh mi to intentionally come back, but I would come back if I was around the area and looking for a cheap meal.

I used to love this place, and I really wanted to give a good review. I can't. I'm giving it two stars instead of one, because the food still tasted pretty good. The service, on the other hand, was horrible. I went in today to get a banh mi. As I walked in, I saw the guy behind the counter go through the curtain into the kitchen. It took quite a while before a woman seated at a table yelled back into the kitchen that I was there. As he came out, a woman came in and he immediately helped her before coming to me. Finally, in the least friendly manner possible, he asked what I wanted. I gave him my order. I'm the only customer in the store, so being busy is no excuse for an excruciatingly slow preparation of my meal. He moved at the pace of a snail the entire time. After he finished my sandwich, I saw him pour the sauce for my egg roll. Then he put the sandwich in the bag. Then he stood there. And stood there. Eventually he walked back to the kitchen again, I'm assuming to get the egg roll, bagged it up, and brought it to me. He tested my reflexes by releasing the bag before I had it in my hand. I walked back home, looking forward to at least having a good banh mi and an egg roll! I always start with the egg roll since it's best while still hot. I couldn't wait to dip it into that sweet and tangy sauce and take a bite. But oops! No sauce. It's a shame. I've always liked this place, but I'm. It sure I'll come back.

Coming to Baguette & Tea Cafe (B&T Cafe) has been a weekly ritual of mine since they opened up shop in June 2018! They are located in the heart of Montrose and have a shared private parking lot with the neighboring washateria, convenience store, and nail spa. The parking lot can get quite full, and if you cannot find a spot, there is usually some street parking on McDuffie Street nearby. Their menu has a selection of Vietnamese sandwiches (known as Banh Mi), fried rice, broken rice (white rice with protein on the side), pho (Vietnamese noodle soup), and vermicelli. They also have an incredible selection of drinks (with or without toppings) to try including teas, coffees, slushies, club sodas, and smoothies. When I go to B&T Cafe, one of my favorite items to order is the B4. Shredded Chicken Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich for $4.25 (add avocado for an additional $1.00 - WORTH IT). This banh mi is served in a baguette that comes with marinated shredded chicken, pickled daikonraddish and carrots, sliced cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeño, homemade chicken pate, and egg yolk-mayonnaise spread. This sandwich sings to my soul. I also love to order the T2. Peach Green Tea for $3.75 (add a scoop of tapioca for $0.50 - WORTH IT). This is one of my favorite peach green teas of all time when it comes to bubble tea (and I've tried peach flavors at many bubble tea shops around the world). I like that they mix the tapioca with actual pieces of peach. The bubble tea isn't too sweet here, but for "health-reasons," I do change the sweetness level to half to pretend I'm not a sugar addict (although I am clearly addicted). FML. On other occasions, I really enjoy the Broken Rice w/ Chicken for $6.25 (order a fried egg on top for an additional $0.50 - WORTH IT). This is a plate of marinated chicken, white rice, sliced cucumbers, pickled carrots, a fried egg, and a side of fish sauce. Fish sauce scares a lot of people off, but try pouring it over the meat and rice, and I promise it'll taste good! B&T Cafe has all you non-meat eaters covered as well! If you're opting for vegetarian, they make their tofu in-house, and it's very juicy (not dry). Overall, B&T Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat in Houston. Usually, one must travel all the way to Chinatown to get a top-quality banh mi and bubble tea, so I am very grateful to have a place of this level inside the inner loop. They have amazing service, and I also love how their little restaurant has been decorated with dogs. They even have a pug dog canvas with the phrase, "I don't need therapy, I have a dog." Yes, that one's my favorite. If you're looking for a quick meal inside the inner loop with top-notch service, mouthwatering food, heavenly bubble tea, and fair prices, make your way B&T Cafe as soon as possible!

Tbh. It was delish. Meat was juicy. The picked veggies speak for themselves. I honestly think it needs the jalapenos. Spice is always nice. You know?? I don't know what kind of meat your into, but anything that has a smokey flavor is a fricken win. It was good. I might go back soon Banhmi cravings come quite often.

I wanted to like this place, but the three sandwiches I ordered seem to have old bread "stale". The French bread exterior was crumpled and just tatested old (see picture). The good news is the filling (meat, veggies, etc.) was tasty. I am ok with efficiency and being wise with food cost, but not at my expense (customers). I made this purchase around 2:30 pm on a Sunday. Place was not busy and there were no other customers orders before mine. I may try one more time, but I am not having the bread they pawned off on me for my sandwiches at my expense. May recommend they look at this quality issue. Recommend trying it for yourself, may have been just me they gave old bread too. Note: Normal customer service, not to friendly and not rude, but monotone. I tipped, but maybe I should not have.

The Banh mi was kind of dry so i should have asked for more mayo. also it taste different than most authentic places that make banh mi but overall it was ok. I also had fries and a black milk tea boba drink which i give a 7/10 :).

I did get lured into trying this place because of its cute cups :) Most of the marinades for their meats are very lemongrass forward, which I am personally not a fan of. So the main thing I come here for is the combination banh mi (SO GOOD). Recommend! Their broken rice is also very tasty. The spicy pork banh mi is pretty spicy. Have not tried the pho yet. Milk tea is a-okay too.

Couple others mentioned the "tofu" is weird.. they're right. It had me questioning if it was meat, because it wasn't like anything I've eaten/received before. I have been vegan for 17 years, and needless to say, I have tried various forms of tofu/fake meat. This one was a soy protein that had a meat like appearance and texture. I thought maybe they gave me the wrong order- especially considering it was supposed to have 'mushroom pate' whatever tf that is ‍ however I didn't receive this 'mushroom pâté' or any sauce for that Matter. I tend to like my food boring and bland so I still ate it. I had to find reviews to feel comfortable eating it tho. I wouldn't go back. please try Roostar if you are vegan. Or this spot called 'Vietwhich' in sugar land has one of the most amazing tofu banh mi ever. I have post a photo of the Sammie from this spot so you can see what the insides look like. Xo

The food and drink were beyond my expectations. The store is clean. The new management did make some changes on the menu as well as the design of the store, more open and welcoming! Support small business everyone!! They do make from scratch for all the orders so it does take a bit time to prepare but as long as the food is fresh and yummy, I definitely will pass the words and come back to support them more.
