Banh Mi 47｜The Light of Vietnamese Bánh Mì in Albany

The baguette was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a toasted aroma and a naturally wheaty flavor—truly delicious bread. The beef inside was tender and flavorful, complemented by sweet-and-sour pickled radish and fresh cilantro, making each bite richly layered and satisfyingly appetizing 😋. As for the egg coffee, while its texture was smooth and creamy, it leaned a bit too sweet, and the coffee aroma felt somewhat muted. Compared to this, I might still prefer drinks from dedicated coffee shops. Overall, though, the bánh mì here is well-made, generously filled, and offers great value for money—absolutely a comforting and worthy spot for a return visit ✨. 📝 Ordering Tips ✅ Recommended Pairings Old Street Beef Bánh Mì + Lemongrass Lemon Tea For vegetarians, try the grilled tofu version paired with lychee smoothie ⚠️ Note The egg coffee is quite sweet; adjust the sweetness or opt for other drinks if preferred Expect lines during the lunch rush; consider takeout or visiting during off-peak hours 📍 Address: 47 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12206 🕒 Hours: Monday–Saturday 10:30 AM–8:00 PM, Sunday 11:30 AM–6:00 PM #Albany#Albanylfe#Albanyguide#Albanyfood#foodguide#NewYork#NewYorkAlbany
