Banh Mi Cafe
46 Mulberry St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“This intimate Mom & Pop Vietnamese spot nails the fundamentals with authentic banh mi that's all about that perfect crispy-outside, soft-inside baguette paired with vibrant, fresh ingredients, while their rich and tangy tom yum broths reveal real care in the kitchen. Beyond the stellar food and genuinely affordable prices, Peter and the team create a genuinely warm atmosphere that makes it equally great for a quick grab or lingering over coffee—the kind of neighborhood gem where you stumble in by accident and leave wondering how you ever missed it.”

Just happened to stumble upon this place and it was a pleasant surprise. A small place with a Mom & Pop feel, but with a variety of dishes and drinks offered. I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli, Summer Rolls, Brisket Pho, and Ma La Sauce Noodles and the prices were very reasonable. Everyone was friendly and the service was good. Definitely would come back again.
The place has amazing food and super affordable. The place was super clean and the service was fast. Peter was friendly and super nice. Tried the popcorn chicken, curry fishball noodle, the peanut butter noodles, and the traditional Banh mi. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The Viet ice coffee and the banana coffee were sweet and strong coffee tastes. Definitely would come back to taste their other items
Great service. I got the tom yum shrimp noodle soup and lemongrass pork banh mi. Banh mi was good. The tom yum broth was very rich and tasted tangy, slightly spicy. Noodles was the thinner one, slightly overcooked
The Banh Mi is so good! Bread is really crisp and the ingredients super fresh! Everyone is very friendly.
Just tried the new banh mi spot in the neighborhood and WOW — this place is the real deal. The flavors are incredibly authentic — perfectly toasted baguettes with that crisp outside / soft inside combo, generous fillings, fresh herbs, house-made pickles, and proteins that are seasoned just right. You can taste the quality in every bite. On top of that, the prices are amazing. It’s rare to find something this good that doesn’t feel overpriced. Huge portions, great value, and everything we tried was consistently delicious. The space is clean, welcoming, and the staff are super friendly — just an all-around great addition to the neighborhood. Definitely going to be a regular stop for us. Highly recommend checking it out if you love a legit banh mi.
