Grab-and-go place for Vietnamese sandwiches, fresh bread and pastry, banh bao (steamed buns), da ua (yogurt), banh pate chaud (meatball puff pastry pies), ca phe (Vietnamese coffee), and sinh to (smoothies).
Came on a Saturday late morning and it was pretty busy. Line grew as I waited for my order. You order at the counter for the banh mi and drinks, but make sure to grab the pre-packaged items to go with your order before you do. They serve all the classic meat options for banh mi: grilled pork, pulled chicken, tofu and veggie, xui mai (meatball), classic cold cuts and pate combo, and more. About $5-$6 per sandwich.
I ordered one grilled pork and one tofu and veggie. Husband ate the grilled pork and thought it was very good. I haven't tried mine yet but will update this when I do. Though the bread looks a little crunchier than the one from Tony's nearby (ie dry?), it still looks solid and I'm excited to try.
The pastries I saw on sale included: raisin rolls, banh bo nuong, taro bun, coconut tart, croissant, taro croissant, even concha (pan dulce).
They were churning out fresh bread: sesame baguette, huge french loaves, mini french bread loaves, and regular banh mi sized french bread.
Their banh bao were huge. This we ate hot and fresh. Huge meatball with egg and Chinese sausage. Perfectly seasoned meatball. Fluffy thick bread exterior.
I also got one of their da ua (Vietnamese yogurt to try). Good, sweet, silky smooth, not too tangy.
Good prices, good selection of food. Just cashier at the front was impatient and was kinda of rushing everyone.
