Bánh Mì Số 1 — Restaurant in Westminster

This place is called Number 1 Sandwiches but they didn’t have any sandwiches when I stopped by, lol. Disappointment.

We came in yesterday to buy sandwiches for lunch but the cashier said they’re out. He told us about other items so I decided to try one of their banana pastries.

We also got Vietnamese donuts (Bánh Tiêu) and sweetened coffee, which...
