Banh Mi & Coffee — Restaurant in San Rafael

I’m so happy to see this shop is still open. I started coming here when I was a sophomore at the high school nearby. The two ladies who work here are so kind, welcoming, and hospitable(I know, bad wording for this time right now but I can’t find a better word!)

I went in here once and by the second time I came back, I was greeted with a warm “The usual?” Of course I’m sure this is much harder to achieve with masks!

They have an amazingggg selection of hot breakfast sandwiches, hot and cold beverages, pastries/donuts( though I warn you they’re gone soon!!)

My personal favorite is the breakfast sandwich that includes... sourdough bread, egg, bacon(or sausage, depending what kinda day it is) and cheese. It’s out in a few minutes and ready to enjoy! I love how they serve it, it’s so asymmetrical and pleasing and it’s cut across!

I remember buying a maple donut for my friend from here and she LOVED it! I’ve tried the curry sandwich, the combo I believe and they’re all so great.

That being said I haven’t had time to visit as this isn’t on my home to school route anymore, I will happily visit tomorrow and get some sandwiches and maybe some coffee for the ride back home.

You can taste the love they put into this shop. There is also beverages and snacks. Support your local businesses, this is one I hold dear...

Also the carrots are really thick cut, it's as if they don't even have a shredder but that's the basic standard of Bahn Mi. It's for a reason; you don't want to be biting through a thick carrot in your sandwich. I also ordered an add-on of the pate and they didn't put it on. The taro chips were alright but the plantains chips didn't taste like anything and had a dry,...

I'm always looking for legit Vietnamese spots in Marin as they are hard to come by. Stopped by this small to go Vietnamese sandwich shop today and was pleasantly surprised by the combination sandwich. Price was reasonable at $6 for each sandwich option. Baguette was warn and crispy and all fixings were on point. Will...
