How we read reviews →Balaclava's no-frills Vietnamese bakery slinging Melbourne's best banh mi and pork rolls.
Old-style suburban bakery counter - clean, no-frills and quick, run by a warm family team behind the counter.
Family-run counter service with a fast turnaround; a long-running local institution that's changed hands over the years but kept its banh mi reputation.
Vietnamese bakery format (banh mi, pork rolls) run by a family team; one reviewer notes it was previously under different ownership.
Consistently called great value and well-priced for fresh, generous rolls.
