Baguette House & Cafe sits quietly along N Lamar Blvd, offering a slice of Vietnamese flavor that fits neatly into the busy Austin neighborhood. Though the space feels casual and no-frills, it buzzes at peak times like Sunday mornings when locals grab their weekend fix, often settling into the back corner where the flow is a bit more relaxed.

This spot functions as both a café and a takeout-focused Vietnamese restaurant, making it a convenient stop for people on the go or those looking to linger with a strong cup of coffee. Their cafe sua da—Vietnamese iced coffee—provides that robust roasted kick that keeps regulars coming back, especially when paired with one of their baguette sandwiches, which lean a bit thinner in size but stand out for crispness and freshness.

The menu highlights include classic bánh mì variations like chicken and beef, alongside rice dishes and spring rolls that hold their own in a city with growing Vietnamese food options. The house special combination bánh mì and grilled beef spring rolls bring more traditional flavors in an accessible, everyday style. For those after snacks or a lighter bite, the bakery features items like creamy choux puffs and savory pork steam buns, rounding out a lineup that appeals to both quick lunches and casual coffee breaks.

Visitors often come for lunch or an early afternoon snack, making it a suitable stop during a workday or on a casual weekend outing. The overall vibe is straightforward rather than polished, with friendly and efficient service helping keep the line moving when it gets busy. This mix positions Baguette House as a practical, no-pretense spot for anyone looking to enjoy Vietnamese staples without fuss.

Best for:

  • Locals and commuters seeking quick, authentic Vietnamese sandwiches and coffee
  • Casual lunch or weekend morning catch-ups with friends
  • Anyone craving strong Vietnamese-style coffee paired with light, fresh fare

Atmosphere: The space feels unassuming and functional — busy during main meal times but with corners that offer some quiet. It’s less about dining in luxury and more about getting a satisfying, well-made bite.

When to visit: Midday or Sunday mornings are lively, while weekday afternoons can be a quieter stretch perfect for grabbing a sandwich or coffee to go.

Baguette House in Austin is such a hidden gem. I got the beef banh mi and it was good with super crispy bread, just a little thinner than most banh mis I’ve had, but still one of the better spots in the city. I also grabbed the viet coffee and it was fire, especially after the ice watered it down a bit. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re craving a solid banh mi and coffee!!

My friends and I came here on a Sunday morning so it was pretty busy but we were able to find a table in the back corner. My friends ordered beef bahn mi’s with sugar cane juice and I got the house special combination bahn mi with cafe sua da (vietnamese coffee). The sugar cane juice was refreshing and the cafe sua da had that nice roasted flavor and was strong- it helped me through the drive back to HTX. Speaking of HTX, I’m pretty spoiled with the Vietnamese food there but the bahn mi here is decent! Overall, the food/drinks were good, the service was pretty fast, and the lovely ambiance was full of Vietnamese aunts and uncles having a great time with their family.

Grabbed a sandwich for lunch & was pleasantly delighted! Had the house special & plan on trying the BBQ pork on my next trip. Friendly & quick service, great price, & it’s on my daily route! I’ll be back for more soon! Probably tomorrow.

Baguette House and Cafe is my go-to when I’m craving a fresh, flavorful Vietnamese bánh mì. The baguettes are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and generously filled with fresh vegetables, herbs, and well-seasoned meats. My favorite is the beef which is savory, and just the right amount of sweetness. The service is quick and efficient, making it great for a lunch break or a grab-and-go snack. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and portions are filling without being heavy. The space itself is casual and straightforward — not fancy, but clean and welcoming.

I’ve been to Vietnam and this place is the closest I’ve had to a real authentic banh mi. It’s because they bake their own bread and the right bread is critical for a great banh mi sandwich. It must be a legit Vietnamese baguette. Not a French baguette, not bolero bread, not a Kaiser roll, not anything other than a Vietnamese style baguette. They also sell their bread and it’s delicious. Highly recommend.

A nice little Vietnamese Bánh mì Caffe, I think I already visited their Caffe 3 times already. To me shrimp Bánh mì is the best. Also love their coconut & pandan jello.
