Vintam's Café — Restaurant in Melbourne

I usually go to the Vietnamese cafe/bakery near woolworths, but, last week as we drove past, my wife saw Vintam's cafe and said may be we could come here going forward. I didn't see anything wrong with the previous cafe, but I obliged. Now, I have been to this place once or twice prior to COVID19 when our offices were open. I don't see any issues then.

She walked in and asked if the had tofu? when the shop attendant said we have chicken, my wife again asked, do you have tofu? to which the lady replied we have pork. My wife then says, anything vegetarian? The lady then responds we have Tofu. Now this was not the problem.

I’ve been here twice and both times were 10/10.

I also ordered a salad roll, which to my surprise arrived warm / in a toasted roll. It was just incredible. All the salad ingredients were nice and cold, but the roll had been heated. The texture of it all was...

Surprisingly good little vietnamese cafe. Perhaps not the most authentic Banh Mis (with something resembling coleslaw but oh so tasty). Bread is a nice crusty vietnamese roll but soft on the inside. Spicy noodle soup was delicious and fresh with an intense stock and small amount of vietnamese herbs. The cherry on the top are the donuts. I was upsold into buying a freshly made one and it was one of the best I had. Service is...
