Lai Bakery and Cafe

18-year Keilor East institution for roast pork rolls, apple pie and reliably good coffee.

Unpretentious neighbourhood bakery counter. quick in-and-out service, no sit-down dining emphasis, run by the same family for close to two decades.

Fresh bread baked daily, family ownership since opening, and a loyal following spanning generations of the same customers.

Reviewers are split on the banh mi specifically. several say it reads more as an Australian-style roast pork salad roll with a Vietnamese-inspired twist than a traditional banh mi, though the pork roll itself is widely praised.

Consistently called cheap and good value for fresh rolls, bread and pies. 'best bakery. in terms of value for money' per one reviewer.
