7 Great Bánh Mì In The East Bay - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This downtown Oakland cafe is a one-stop shop for all your lunch needs—they have everything from green smoothies and vermicelli bowls to deli-style sandwiches. Hone in on the bánh mì, which are loaded with fillings like spicy chicken and coconut pork. This spot is also one of the few places where you can opt for a bánh mì on a Dutch crunch roll, a very Bay Area offering we endorse." - julia chen 1

The Best Breakfast Sandwiches in the East Bay | Eater SF

"It’s hard to quantify what sets this Vietnamese deli apart from other places nearby, but perhaps its title says it all. Sausage-egg-and-cheese on a bready croissant is appropriately greasy and big enough to share. Spring rolls and bánh mis are also special, as are juices and smoothies made to order. This spot is busiest between 10 a.m to 2 p.m. and ordering ahead is a good idea. Otherwise, the black leather sofa will keep you comfy while you wait." - Ori Ravid

We got the croissant breakfast sandwich and the shrimp spring rolls. To start the croissant was amazing if you are going to get one thing here you can not go wrong with this sandwich. The spring rolls were a miss they were not bad just had way too much mint and cilantro to be able to taste any of the other parts. The service here could definitely be improved. There were six people working but it seemed that only two had any idea about what was going on or what needed to be done.

Best huge and fresh banh mi on the West side of the lake! They take card and offer healthy juices, smoothies, and amazing breakfast wraps or Vietnamese banh mi. Stopped by for some late lunch and was so glad I got the grilled chicken banh mi. So flavorful! Their smoothies are all amazing blends, good consistency. Small size is 16oz and it's perfect for one. High quality and healthy, plus affordable! Fresh and Best is def on my go-to list

Great banhmi and sandwiches! The filling is very full and the size is big for the price, an amazing deal. Everything was fresh, the pickled veggies were perfect, the bread was not too crunchy, and the ratio was very good. Ive also had the salad before, which was just as amazing.

I’ve been going here for the past three years and it has never disappointed me. The food here is fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are incredible, I love the pâté they use and the fact that there’s tons of vegetables in each sandwich. The sandwiches and portions are generous. Highly recommend the vermicelli bowl, it’s like two meals in one! The smoothies are great too, I still have yet to replicate them in my own kitchen. Get the Tropical Green Smoothie or if ginger isn’t for you, the Green Smoothie No 1 never disappoints.

Great spot to stop and grab a late breakfast or lunch. The green smoothie I got was delicious!! Made with almond milk too. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks. 😋🧉

This place serves up excellent Vietnamese sandwiches, the kind that make you want to come back. Unfortunately, everything else makes you think twice. The surrounding area is rundown, with graffiti and frequent disturbances just outside. Inside, the cafe is no better: dirty tables, buzzing flies, and a staff that seems more interested in chatting with each other than helping customers. During my visit, my order was “forgotten,” and I waited 15 minutes while others were served ahead of me. It’s a shame the service and atmosphere don’t live up to the quality of the food. With a little effort, this place could be a gem; instead, it’s a frustrating mixed bag.

An excellent choice for lunch, and breakfast. Sometimes they have a rush during lunch so I call my order in ahead. They cut up fresh veggies and fruit right there on the spot. Affordable prices too. I go 1-2x per week. I recommend the egg sandwich (add avo), the Vietnamese salad with chicken and the tuna sandwich.

Our go to lunch spot. If you had a fun weekend, the double spicy juice is a great detox juice and it is spicy- amazing!! I love to get the fresh shrimp rolls which are made to order (get extra spicy sauce). The staff is always friendly and they are quick to get orders out. You can also order ahead. We’ve tried a lot on the menu and it’s all good! You won’t be disappointed.
