Mentone Bakery Cafe

Old-school Mentone bakery cafe famed for pork crackling banh mi, crisp vanilla slice and schnitzel

Humble, family-run suburban bakery cafe with a friendly local feel, a cabinet of traditional cakes and slices, and limited seating geared to takeaway.

Vietnamese banh mi alongside Australian bakery staples like potato cakes, dim sims and pies, plus a full coffee offering.

Banh mi is compared favourably with Hanoi and Springvale versions, with proper chilli, fresh coriander and pork crackle; the rest is classic Australian bakery fare.

Reviewers consistently call prices fair and low next to pricier local cafes, with well-loaded banh mi and rolls.
