Baguette House & Cafe

Bought 2 fresh baked plain baguettes to go here for under $2. They arrived at their final destination almost 3 hours later and were still just delicately crunchy. So good dipped in chicken curry! They also sell pate chaud. The price for the banh mi seemed a little steep compared to Houston though.

I've ordered a #1 (I won't comment on it due to my unfamiliarity with Vietnamese fair--just check the menu and you'll figure it out) several times and it's excellent--especially at the price coupled with the service, atmosphere, etc. I'd say it's a tad busy in the morning--but when you're in this part of town early this is the best place to study and grab a good breakfast of sorts. Some reviewers were unhappy--I think it's a mix of ignorance, impatience, and realizing it won't work how they think. Just order and enjoy. It appears the quality is top notch, and even the best restaurants make mistakes. Don't implicate your expectations onto the place-enjoy how it is and go from there.

The classic baguette grilled pork Sammy had tasty tender pork, lots of fresh greens, and a baguette with great exterior chew and soft innards...made want to attempt to speak French in honor of it. A great buy for $4.50. My wife helped me eat almost half of it and she enjoyed an iced coffee while I had a blended honeydew smoothie....one of the best I've ever had. The only better banh mi we've had was at a farmers market in Oahu...and that's too far to go. We'll be back for more.
