How we read reviews →Malvern's go-to for banh mi that regulars have driven across Melbourne for
A busy, warmly run counter shop on Glenferrie Rd where owner Dang's personality sets the tone. Staff remember regular customers by order and greet the queue with genuine enthusiasm. The feel is joyful and efficient. a neighbourhood hot bread shop that punches well above its category.
Choice of crusty or softer bread roll for every banh mi; caramelised onion and fried shallot topping options; allergen-aware staff who accommodate severe seafood and nut allergies on request; traditional Vietnamese iced coffee made in-house.
Owner Dang brings genuine Vietnamese craft to every roll. traditional Vietnamese iced coffee (Cà Phê Sữa Đá), beef in betel leaf, and proper banh mi technique with signature touches like caramelised onion and fried shallots that elevate the standard.
Banh mi priced around $10-$11, slightly above what some expect for a takeaway roll, but reviewers consistently regard the generous meat fillings and freshness as well worth the premium. Great value by any measure.
