“ Ordered the cold cut banh mi (#1 on the menu - Combination/Thit Nguoi). The bread is crispy on the outside and soft inside, the Combination is delicious. Their mango smoothie is also awesome. The guy at the counter looks like a rock star. Highly recommended! ”
“ I’ve made it a mission to try out all the banh mi spots in Orlando. This place serves quality banh mi, with enough sauce and ingredients to match up to its price. The 5 big bao was amazing, the ingredients were proportionate to the dough, and the sugarcane juice was great! This place is worth your money and time. I will definitely return here! ”
“ I didn’t know what to expect entering this spot, but I am glad I did go to Y Nhu Bakery and Cafe! The lady was very nice and we ordered a bao bun and a pork pastry as well as some Macarons. Everything was super delicious and flavorful and I 100% recommend a visit! I definitely will be returning here for a banh mi sandwich in the future ”
“ If you ever wanted to expose somebody new to Vietnamese banh mi, you wouldn't be failing them here. Loved the grilled pork version. Incredible bread - maybe the best banh mi bread in town. The thin crunchy crust yeilds to the soft core as you bite through. The excellent pate is not overpowering, but is an optional add. Fresh crisp vegetables taste like they were cut to order. The thinly sliced grilled pork has the perfectly caramelized char. (They used to slice it overly thick imo, but have since made it better.) FYI: If you get the bbq pork, just know it has the skin on it. And it doesn't taste barbecued. More like steamed. Not the crispy kind of skin, but the jiggly kind. You got to be a little more hardcore to enjoy this one. Not a fan. The pork bao bun is in a league of its own. Absolutely outstanding. Perfectly seasoned pork and wood ear mushrooms, egg, and even a slice of fermented Vietnamese sausage: Nem Nuong; it was delicious. Plus, if you get there in the morning, they're still hot. In fact, speaking of morning, this is one of the few places in town you can get a fresh made banh mi at 8:30 a.m. Gimme this for breakfast any day. ”
“ Great little take out spot with a nice selection of Vietnamese banh mi options! Made on traditional bread similar to what I found in southern Vietnam, the #9 grilled pork is one of my favorites! ”
“ Immediately impressed with the service and food here. The Banh Mi is phenomenal ! Taste is amazing! The New England place we eat at is not as good as this place. Try the coffee & sugar cane drinks ; they're spectacular ! ”
“ I've been going to this place here and there for about 20 years when the name was Boston Bakery. Every time I'm in Orlando, this is the place where I go for lunch or even grab and go for road trip back home to Tallahassee. I know the owner very well since our daughter were in Russian Ballet together. This is my comfort place to go to for quick food! The family and their team are so friendly and kind as always. I can't wait for more Banh mi years to come! No matter what the business name now, I'll always love it!! ”
“ Man, what a sense of nostalgia. The comical Vietnamese chatter in the background. The interactions between the staff and their customers. The jokes made. It felt like I was attending a reunion of my childhood. Needless to say, service was excellent. There is ready to eat food items at the front. I arrived at 1130am on a Tuesday, and the Banh Cuon tray felt warm and fresh so I nabbed one, along with ordering a Banh Mi Thit Ngoui (traditional cold cuts sandwich) and a Vietnamese coffee. Banh cuon is a Vietnamese dish of steamed rice flour pancakes that literally translates to "rolled cakes" in English. It's often eaten for breakfast or a snack in Vietnam. This one was stuffed with minced meat, and came with steamed pork slices ("cha"), fish sauce (nuoc mam), and fresh veggies/herbs. It was delicious! I hardly ever get to find these so fresh. The Banh Mi was great! The bread was perfect, the best baguette I've had in Orlando so far. It was fresh out of the oven, soft, and crispy all at once. The portion of meats/pate/veggies in the sandwich was perfect! Everything balanced really well and no components overtook the other. My only gripe is the headcheese (a type of cold cut) was a bit too thick for my liking which made it tough to bite through effortlessly at some points. I give the banh mi a solid 9/10. The coffee was perfect and strong, a flawless representation of Vietnamese coffee ”
