M&M Bakery

Highett's beloved neighbourhood bakery. the banh mi and pork rolls keep locals coming back year after year.

A busy neighbourhood bakery with a fast-moving counter. more quick-stop than sit-down. The pace is practical and efficient. Regulars move through quickly, especially at lunchtime. Not a lingering café environment; the draw is the quality of the baked goods and the banh mi rather than any dining atmosphere.

Unusual combination of classic Australian baked goods (pies, sausage rolls, pastries, bread loaves) alongside an impressive banh mi offering with multiple fillings. The grilled pork roll is a particular point of pride for devoted regulars. Bread baked in-house. Dim sims also available as a hot snack. Fresh roll selection including both standard and chewy-crust varieties.

The banh mi reflects Vietnamese-Australian bakery tradition. pate, cold cuts, grilled pork and fresh vegetables in a house-baked roll. The Australian bakery side (pies, custard tarts, vanilla slice) is classic Melbourne suburban heritage baking.

Priced below Springvale Vietnamese bakeries for comparable banh mi quality according to loyal regulars. One reviewer noted the pork roll at $8.50 felt light on filling; others consider it well-priced. Overall the consensus among regulars is strong value for a neighbourhood bakery.
