93 Banh Mi & Tea
5410 New Hope Commons Dr, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“This vibrant Vietnamese café strikes a perfect balance between authentic tradition and modern accessibility, serving generously-sized banh mi sandwiches with freshly baked in-house baguettes alongside classic Vietnamese coffee prepared in convenient paper cups rather than traditional tin strainers. Beyond the exceptional sandwiches, their boba milk teas and specialty drinks draw families back repeatedly, with the welcoming decor and friendly service making it an ideal quick grab for both adventurous eaters and banh mi newcomers. Every review circles back to the quality of their core offerings—crispy pork belly, tender grilled meats, and that unmistakable fragrant baguette—proving they've mastered the fundamentals while keeping the experience relaxed and accessible.”

Craved hot Vietnamese coffee. Came in big 16 oz paper cup, not the traditinal tin strainer over a ceramic cup. Rich and sweet like I was hoping. Lovely decor. French bread made in house. Will need to return soon for the banh mi
My kids and I tried the grilled chicken sandwich along with both the fruit and milk teas with boba. Wow!! Delicious! The sandwiches were cooked perfectly, and the teas were BIG! The milk tea was the best I have ever tasted. My daughter, who is 9 and LOVES boba pearls, even said next time she just wants the tea without boba because it was THAT good! I NEED to find out what kind of black tea they use so I can make it at home, too! We will definitely return. Go check it out!
My pictures should tell it all so I ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich, which was $8.99 delicious and was like a foot-long! I also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was crispy and super delicious. The staff were friendly. Food was hot and fresh. It will definitely be back. Pro tip: they bake their sandwich bread in house and it was so crispy perfect for the sandwich. Also, management said that they will have pho coming soon!
Stopped here to pick up take out for a road trip. It was a little risky because this was the first time my kids have eaten Bahn Mi sandwiches. We got several different kinds and the favorite was the pork belly. We also got some boba tea! Everything was delicious and the service was awesome. I told them we were going on a trip and they packed the toppings separate so the sandwich could stay fresh as possible. There is small dining area with a few tables too.
The freshly baked baguette is deliciously crispy and fragrant. The grilled meat filling is tender and richly seasoned! I like eating CRISPY PORK BELLY (HEO QUAY) with served separately, everything arranged on a plate so I can savour each bite. Yummy!!
