Hoang Viet Bakery Coffee — Restaurant in Toronto

What happens when your regular Banh Mi shop is closed in Wednesdays, and you have a craving for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich? You leave your comfort zone and find something new. In our case, something better.

Hoang Viet Bakery is a very unassuming hole-in-the wall type place situated in a small plaza. They sell fresh-baked pastries, mouth-watering Banh mi sandwiches and various Vietnamese soups.

There are a few tables inside this this tiny store though eating-in is not really an option with Covid.

There is also a couple of tiny plastic chairs right outside, if you just can't wait to get home to eat your meal.

I ordered some sandwiches and a variety of pastries. Each sandwich was under $5.00 and all are some variation of pork and/or chicken. If you buy 5, you get one free.

The baguettes are baked fresh and the veggies and meat filling are very flavourful. The other toppings are what you would expect in a Banh mi (cilantro, carrot, cucumber, mayonnaise etc...).

The pastries are out of this world and were still warm when I picked them up. They are $1.00 each or 6 for 5 bucks. I don't remember the last time I had a croissant this good! Like we are talking melt-in-your mouth good.

I also grabbed a Vietnamese iced coffee which didn't disappoint. Cold, sweet and strong.

They take all the pandemic precautions with plexiglass, face shields and gloves. This is of course reassuring.

I am very glad to have discovered this restaurant! Will try the...

Last weekend I stopped by this amazing bakery after a friend had suggested it to me. I stopped by at noon and they were already sold out of the sausage option. It's a hit!

I tried: Banh Mi Pork Banh Mi Rotisserie Chicken Banh Mi Dry Shredded Chicken Banh Tiêu (Vietnamese Sweet Bun)

Xôi Khúc (Sticky Rice Ball) Dáy giô (Steamed Glutinous Rice Cake with Pork)

Banh Duc Ngot (Pandan Rice Cake with Coconut Sauce)

Iced Coffee

They have a daily promotion JUST $5 for a Banh Mi sandwich. You can also get 5 and get one FREE! I love a good deal / promotion.

This was my first time trying the Pandan dessert and the two savory options. Everything was so good. The sweet buns were the freshest buns I've ever had. They were stretchy, light, airy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Similar to a doughnut without any of the heaviness.

There was a steady flow of customers and I chatted with a few. They all commented on fresh and delicious the food was here. There's a reason people keep coming back. I loved the atmosphere and warmth I felt in this family...

Food - One of the best combinations of value & taste when it comes to Banh Mi's. 6 Banh Mi's to choose from (see attached picture) many averaging at $5 each, price is tax included. They also have a buy 5, get 1 free special. Their baguette is unique, filling is aplenty.

Service - straightforward bakery, you order, they give out food and you pay. Never dined in, so I can't speak much about it.

Atmospheres - small, no frills bakery. There is a single table for dining in, but I have always done takeout, nothing special or anything that would catch your eyes. Having said that, place seems clean at a...
