Best Baguette

"A bánh mì institution, Best Baguette drive-thru lines have been reliably filled for years now. The quick and cheap sandwich and boba shop offers a broad array of baguette sandwiches, each topped with mayo, slivered and pickled carrots and daikon, slices of jalapeño, and thick bunches of cilantro. It’s difficult to go wrong here, but newcomers should start with the Best Baguette Special, which comes with pate, ham, pork roll, and head cheese. Other standouts include the barbecue pork and grilled chicken." - Alex Frane, Janey Wong

"Parisians may be content to gnaw on a dry baguette on their walk home, but the rest of us can be thankful cooks in 1950s Saigon saw a bit more potential in the crisp, airy loaf. Best Baguette specializes in classic banh mi with pork and pickled vegetables, but the menu includes solid chicken and vegetarian options, as well. Visitors can expect fast service but utilitarian vibes when dining in; the drive-thru is known to back up at lunchtime or rush hour." - Nathan Williams

"Best Baguette is a local drive-thru in Southeast Portland that has been serving banh mi and bubble tea since 2006. Known for its freshly baked baguettes, all-day breakfast, and community atmosphere, it is a beloved spot for both locals and travelers. The restaurant offers a variety of Vietnamese sandwiches, drinks, and other items like steamed bao and pastries. The drive-thru experience is highlighted by the smell of freshly baked bread and the option to customize sandwich ingredients for optimal freshness." - Janey Wong
