[[Sarah]] visited on a Tuesday lunchtime in May 2010 for a banh-mi (French/Vietnamese baguette). Previous banh-mi experiences have varied — the now closed Viet Baguette had nice fillings but dull bread, and a recent banh-mi at [[Chung Viet, SE8 3NU|Chung Viet]] was tiny and lacked veg. Happily, this was a decent size, the bread was fantastic, and the vegetables were lovely and fresh. The bread was light on the inside and crisp on the outside. I believe traditional Vietnamese baguettes are half wheat flour and half rice flour which may explain it... I went for the "rolled pork with Viet ham", which had plenty of vegetables inside (carrot, cucumber, chilli, and peanuts — the latter two optional). It was made fresh in about a minute or two and served still warm.

They serve a variety of baguettes — vegetarian options are hummus and vegetables, and tofu with glass noodles. Sorry to all who were expecting the Laughing Cow cheese, le vache qui rit is not on the menu.

In addition to the baguettes, there were also some cartons of summer rolls ready made to take away and all sorts of drinks, fresh fruit juices, a range of bubble tea, Vietnamese coffee, etc. Snacks are things like curry fish balls on a stick, beef noodle soup, and there's a range of Hong Kong style puddings. There's also milkshakes blended with all kinds of chocolate, a bit like Shakeaway I'd reckon.

[[Sarah]]'s verdict: I'd definitely go back, I'd like to try Vietnamese coffee, and see how their bubble tea compares to my usual bubble tea from Cafe de Hong Kong.

Cafe selling Vietnamese baguettes and snacks on Deptford Broadway.

The cafe itself has several tables and was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and there was a sign saying there was free wi-fi.

They only accept cash, although they are very happy to point you in the direction of the nearest cashpoints.

I'd definitely go back, I'd like to try Vietnamese coffee, and see how their bubble tea compares to my usual bubble tea from [Cafe de Hong Kong].
