Best place in Mira Mesa to get Bahn me and other Vietnamese snacks. Try the baguettes, they’re always fresh and delicious when you get them early morning. The Bahn mi here are delicious. The number 13(lemon grass beef) with a fried egg is my go to. Not all Bahn me places offer lemon grass beef, so that already puts them on top of other places. The flower paper egg rolls here are good. Customer service here is always amazing. They Always greet you with a smile. The Vietnamese coffee isn’t as strong as other places but still tastes good.
Update review: I tried their vermicelli, it was sooooooooo delicious! The egg rolls are crunchy outside and soft & flavorful inside. The bbq pork is delicious as well. I a hundred percent recommend it. My husband had a big beef lemongrass baguette sandwich. It was so big but he finished it.
Precious review: Best Banh Mi I’ve ever had in San Diego!!!! Our friends recommended us their foods and told us their Banh Mi is pretty good. Yes! They are! I tried a Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi. It’s huge, with a very reasonable price. The taste is amazing. One thing I love is their baguette bread is not too hard since I always broke my mouth when I have baguette breads. The combination of beef and lemongrass is very yummy. I also bought a bag of taro chips, I love it. I highly recommend this place!
There were more than a few indications that this place was a LEGIT Vietnamese eatery!
From the lines out the door (trust me, well worth the short wait)
To the smell of fresh baguettes 🥖(AMAZING!!) Not to mention the numerous bahn mi options (I had the BBQ Pork. It was delicious!)
Less we forget there are a multitude of Vietnamese snacks, drinks and desserts.
More than just delicious Vietnamese faire their hospitality is just as on point. You can definitely tell that this is a place where the local Vietnamese community comes for comfort food and a feeling of home. I saw an interaction with the cashier and customer where the cashier thanked the customer in Vietnamese and called her Auntie.
Nonetheless Cali Baguette Express is a must!
Great friendly service. Get the fried rice - it's a banger! The Bahn mi sandwiches could stand to have a little more meat. Other than that - it's great 👍
If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Always the best food and best service. Staff is always so friendly and I’ve never eaten anything there that wasn’t a 10/10.
I got the tofu bahn mi and the tofu spring rolls, definitely enjoyed the bahn mi but the spring rolls? Not so much— I actually almost choked on the rice paper wrapping and find it really bland without the sauce. But, it is pretty good if you’re on a budget. I also got avocado shake and I didn’t really love it, so I’d recommend not getting one.
The best baguette in Mira Mesa. Would highly recommend any Banh Mi with a hot cup of coffee with milk. The bread is freshly made and filled with freshly grilled pork when I ordered one. Would come here often.
Best banh mi and baguettes in San Diego! Call ahead for pickup since there’s usually a wait. Great service.
Great quality food with variety of options to choose. Open early for breakfast porridge, noodle soup and fresh coffee ☕. Parking share with other shops. They also have dessert and ice cold drink available with all dry snacks.
Great iced coffee. If getting iced coffee, ask for a smedium 😊. Have never been disappointed with the service or their food. Beef stew is amazing. Really friendly team, Kim is super cool and fun to chat with! 5 stars!
Good service and good food.❤ #6 bbq pork with fried egg is my favorite. The house fried rice was 💣.
I've been coming to this place for years. Hands down the best Banh Mi sandwiches and baguette bread. I love all their other snacks too. The lovely lady who has been running the front counter for years is always so friendly and polite. She's a breath of fresh air in a world where customer service is lacking. My favorite is the bbq pork banh mi with pate added and a Thai tea to go with it.
This place has been introduced to me for their fresh Baguettes 🥖
This place is my go-to for buying baguettes.
I’d give them 6 star ⭐️ if I could
Had so many options to choose from their menu. On top of that, so many treats and other desserts as well. Will come back in the future to try other options out.
I normally just order the "Special/Dac Biet" Bahn Mi sandwich. It was pretty tasty. Really enjoyed it. Meatwise, it looked like it was one of each different meat. Gonna try double or extra meat next time. Willing to pay the extra, for sure.
The Large Iced Vietnamese Coffee with extra condense milk was amazing. I love that it has a sealable top and that I can just shake the coffee. Something about shaking it feels really nice. The Hello Kitty seal was also a nice touch and super cute too!
The banh mi here is delicious... I had the BBQ pork - it's basically two sandwiches. And the baguette is light, flaky, and wonderful.
I'd never heard of this place, but when a bahn mi craving hit, my boyfriend and I navigated here and hoped for the best. Five minutes after ordering, we were biting into fresh, delicious sandwiches. Fast forward three or four months, and we've settled on a favorite sandwich (BBQ pork with an egg!) and enjoyed probably a dozen spring roll orders as well. Don't be fooled by how fast the food comes. It's fresh. And it's the best thing you'll have all day.
