Never have I ever heard about this bakery until we were waiting at Duc Huong for our sandwiches. We noticed all the different types of buns that was on display so decided to go inside to take a look. Decided to order the Char Siu Bun and it was the best bun I've ever had. It was warm and extremely savory! I also picked up a Pandan Coconut Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and it was just as good as it looked. A typical sweet roll with a hint of coconut and Pandan flavor. Liked that it was fluffy. So glad we stumbled upon this bakery because we wouldn't have been able to experience the delicious bun and sweet roll. Can't wait to stop by again next time I'm in the area and try their other buns! read more

Pineapple bun wasn't like Cantonese pineapple bun. Topping tastes like it but when you bite into it. It's like a loaf of bread. The size is smaller which makes it expensive. A visitor from my office gave us pate chard and pork & egg bun which I thought was nice. I didn't get the chance to ask where. I'm only aware that he lived in East San Jose. I looked around Yelp and found this place and another off Tully. I didn't want to drive far so returned back to this bakery and sure enough. He bought it from here. The pork was sweet and the egg was hard boiled in the taller bun. The late chard I liked better. It had more flavor with a hint of spice. When I have cravings, I'll come back here. read more

I don't recommend this bakery. I had heard so many good reviews, but this was genuinely the worst bakery I've been to. The customer service was rude, the staff only thanked customers who weren't Asian, which was very odd considering Asian customers are quite literally the ones giving them the most business. The steamed banh bao was also terrible. The dough was about 3 inches thick, extremely dry, and the meat filling inside was dry as well. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

They need a better system when it comes to ordering or maybe they just need some sense of urgency because they always look confused and take their time assisting the customers. Sign says "order here" but you're standing there looking like a lost puppy while they are just behind the counter talking among themselves or looking at you. Maybe the pick up sign should be at the register and the order here sign can be right where you enter because they all seem lost! The buns here are decent when it's fresh and hot. Their char siu buns is good and filled with a lot of meat. Everything else is mid. It's cold, not as fresh, and honestly the quality seem to be a hit and miss. The pate chaud has a vet specific taste to it which I cannot pinpoint but I've for sure had better elsewhere. read more

I do love their combination sandwiches. It's my go to sandwich whenever I come here, but they also have different pastries to offer. The bakery is right next to the Hong sandwiches, which is a very tight competitor but if you come inside, there's still a line for sandwiches, which is really good if you're into pastries I recommend to try One of them Durian cream puffs. They are big and filled with filling in the taste. You could definitely taste the Durian flavor. Come check it out. read more

I've heard so many good things about this bakery through the years. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype for me. I was a bit disappointed with the items I bought. Most of the baos was not portioned well with the amounts of bao to filling. The baos actually were a bit dry and hard to get through all of it. read more

They're bacon egg croissant is sooo good. I haven't found a western sandwich that's cheap and under 9 dollars but this bakery as it! I'm so happy. The only complaint is that the onions needs to be washed or something. It leaves a bitter taste and stank my mouth. Thats why I knocked a star off. Other than that, friendly service and quick. A lot of workers here. It's a small place but they organized the queue. It may have taken 15 minutes to get three of the bánh mí. I would still go here and handicapped parking is nearby. I'm not sure if you can roll in with your wheelchair unless you go when it's not busy. read more

I went here because I saw they were selling a pandan Hawaiian bread! Affordable price, quick service, and the bread was super fluffy with subtle taste of pandan. Each piece was addicting as I kept wanting to eat more... I microwaved it for 15 secs and sprinkled in condense milk which was the perfect dessert for me :) read more

Another Banh Mi place next to Duc Huong. I tried this place since my friend really likes the Xiu Mai (meatball) and PLEASE if you are ever willing to try something other than duc huong please try the meatball Banh mi it is so good tender and bread is nice and crispy outside fluffy inside all the ingredients are fresh but I'm just so sad that I couldn't give it a 5 star due to the Dac Biet not being that good. They added pork floss which I know a lot of places do but how they added it made it have a texture of having a wet paper in your Banh mi which kinda threw me off and also it had a stronger flavor than the other ingredients so it covered it. I don't know if it's the brand of the pork floss they use or it might be old, JUST A GUESS DONT ACCUSE THEM OF ANYTHING. The staff there is so nice and welcoming so please give their meatball banh mi a try it is definitely worth it! read more

This is the second time I came for the pastries because I wanted to like this place. When I'm next door waiting on my sandwich at Duc Huong I come here. Honestly, the pastries taste so dry. I got the the durian puff pastry, sounds so delicious because I'm a big fan of durian. I have to say it taste so artificial and it leaves an after taste in your mouth. Yuck! This is my second time trying it and both times it tastes awful! I'm really surprised they have such rave reviews for their pastries and not one thing I've ordered was amazing. While the matcha cookie is the only decent thing here. Their croissants and guava pastry is so dry and not a lot of guava but still tasted really artificial, not homemade by any means. While their service is pleasant. They are very friendly and efficient, but their pastries are not that great. I think I'll still to CA bakehouse since they never disappoint. read more

I went to 111 Bakery for pork Banh Mi and it was absolutely delicious. This place was busy at lunch. Right next door is another place that sells Banh Mi, but here you get your money's worth. The Banh Mi is huge, but they do sell minis as well. Pork Banh Mi was cooked perfectly and was super tender. The store is beautiful inside and the pastries all look mouth watering. I coming back to try some of those next time. read more

Good place to get buns and a drink while waiting for sandwiches next door. There's no line here. My Vietnamese coffee $5 had a hint of hazelnut. Not that it is a bad thing but I would have preferred a regular one. The ham and egg bun $3 was OK. I still need to try their sandwiches. read more

Came here for some baked goods. Got some baked pork buns and pineapple bun. Though the pork bun was flavorful, sad to say that it was cold. Pineapple was good as well. But both baked goods need to be warmed up. So this isn't a quick order and eat on the go which is what I wanted to happen since you need to heat the baked goods up. Their Thai tea with boba was not bad. Could use a tad more tea flavor for my liking. Service was quick as not many people inside. And there is no seating area. read more

Love this bakery! There's duc huong sandwiches right next door which always has a long wait, while no wait for this one. Great selection of pastries, breads, banh mis. I like getting the mini bahn mi's which fill me up just enough and only $4. To note- they take cash only if your purchase is under $10. read more

I had never frequented this bakery until after their remodel a few years back, and I am sad to have had many missed years of the spicy pork floss toasts and a very creamy decadent pate. The pate is $6 for a half pound tub, and the toasts run around ~$10ish. However, I have visited a few times and the toasts were not available and was told it would be maybe 2-3 days later that they would be available. I have tried some of the baked goods and the meat bun and crab bun are pretty tasty. I did not like as much the sweet pastries I got. I also saw they have their moon cakes ready now for the mid-Autumn festival. They are also available on DoorDash for the days when you can't make it there. read more

I was in the area for an appointment and wanted Pate Chaud so Yelp'd and 111 Bakery came up. Unfortunately, they did not have any but I still tried their other offerings. 1. Meat Pork Bun $5 2. Hot Dog Bun $3 3. Char Siu Bun $3 4. Custard Bun $3 5. Vietnamese Coffee $5 6. Beef Pastrami with Cheese Sandwich $8 Buns were average so not sure I would go back for that. I prefer Chinese buns. Vietnamese coffee was good - strong enough and not too sweet. The Pastrami sandwich was very tasty and good size for $8. I would have that again but I would be willing to try the Vietnamese sandwiches next time. They are right next to the famous Duc Huong Sandwiches shop so very tough competition - there was the usual line up next door. read more

A long overdue review! I love this place!!! Wonderful food with reasonable prices. I always get the Vietnamese meat balls aka xíu mại. Their version is my favorite. I like that they have 2 sizes to choose from!! I often get the small one, in addition to other pastries. I like to get BBQ pork bun, crab bun, and durian cream puff. Yum!! Service is wonderful as well. Once time they got my order made incorrectly, I just asked and showed them the receipt , they remade my order right away. It's a Vietnamese establishment but super English friendly. Once you order a Vietnamese sandwich, you'll get a ticket and hang around until they call you up. Very quick! No seating, but there's a tiny standing table in the corner that you could stand and enjoy your newly made bánh mì. read more

Quality/Quantity - While waiting for our sandwiches next door at Duc Huong, my wife came here for a matcha pineapple bun. It was dry, even with the matcha custard filling. They sell sandwiches here also; see pictures. Atmosphere - Small local bakery. Clean, neat, and organized. Open 7 days a week from 6am to 6pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good. Price - $3, reasonably priced. Well, if it was of better quality...?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1992. read more

i got the mini grilled pork banh mi ($3.50) and a meat bun ($4.50) and paid cash, as they don't accept card for orders under $10. the meat bun is not pictured, but it was definitely the star of the show. i liked the flavor of the pork inside and it went well with the slightly sweet bread exterior. the other pastries on display looked really good too. the banh mi takes longer to come out than expected; i assume they are toasting the bread so that it comes out warm and flaky. overall, really good and worth coming in if you don't feel like waiting in duc huong's long line. read more

When I'm in the San Jose area, my preferred Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwiches I usually get are from Duc Huong Sandwiches. I was planning to grab sandwiches from the McKee and Capitol location but when I parked and saw the long line, I decided to get Vietnamese sandwiches from the next door neighbor, 111 Bakery. I arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The bakery is located in an older plaza off McKee and Capitol in San Jose. There is accessible parking in the large busy parking lot. As soon as I walked in there was no line and all I saw were appetizingly freshly baked pastries in the window display cases. The staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered a ham and gio thu sandwich, grilled pork sandwich, bbq pork belly sandwich, pate chaud, and a cream cheese croissant roll. Everything was delicious and savory. My Vietnamese ham sandwich had the right scrumptious combo of pickled vegetables, ham, and pate spread. The pastries had the right amount of savoriness and puffy goodness. Price point of the Banh mi and pastries was good. Overall I enjoyed my experience at 111 Bakery. Since I am in the area quite a bit, I will be back. read more

I wish the staff were more approachable. They don't acknowledge anyone, they ignore eye contact and it's not till we are face to face that they acknowledge their customers. The pastries are good and prices are decent but it can be off putting with the staff's attitude. I've been here often enough to know how they are with their customers but my visit yesterday was the worst I've dealt with. I finally got a smile on a staff's face and that was to call me over to get my order. read more

Triple One Bakery is a bakery that has been around for awhile. It's located in a large shopping plaza with 24 Hr Fitness, Cardenas Market, next to Duc Huong Sandwiches and Jam's Kitchen. There is plenty of parking in this plaza. Simple decor, simple decorations. The workers there were friendly and helpful. I tried their guava turnover. The filling was sweet but not overtly sweet. Though, the pastry was on the stale side. Probably good if I took it home and put it in the toaster oven. Very affordable prices . read more

I ordered the #5 Vegetarian (Bi Chay) sandwich through DoorDash for pickup since it's outside my delivery zone. To make it vegan, I unchecked the mayo and pate checkboxes. The sandwich was decent, but it was a bit dry. I wish they offered a vegan sauce option, like a vinaigrette, soy sauce, or vegan mayo. Of course, it's not a vegan restaurant, so I don't expect it, but it would improve the sandwich. That said, the pickled veggies, cucumber, and jalapeño were delicious, and the tofu mix was also yummy. Although I did not dislike the sandwich, I have to say, it was kind of bland compared to the veggie option next door. read more

East Side San Jose is probably one of the most competitive mechas when it comes to Vietnamese food, and this plaza on McKee Road has three places specializing in banh mi. For the value, 111 Bakery is the choice. Not to mention you have all sorts of dessert options too. There's a Duc Huong right next to it, and they're great. They're better sandwiches too, but they're also more expensive. The main difference between the two is the meat selection and Duc's superior liver pate. Still, 111 isn't that far off. The best thing is you have two sizes with 111. Anyway, that's just banh mi. They also have a pastry selection that rivals Paris Baguette. I enjoy their coconut options as well as the guava strudels. It feels like I'm at Porto's. Their pans of green pandan rolls are also super fluffy and buttery and an easy recommendation. Service is what you expect from an Asian mom&pop. Just don't expect to actually eat here. There's no room. read more

111 Bakery banh mi is so underrated. I heard from a few others that they prefer this spot over Duc Huong which is next door so I had to go try it myself. I ordered their #11 Combination Banh Mi. I paid $7.50 for a baguette which is pretty reasonable. My favorite thing about this sandwich is that they add shredded chicken! I don't see a lot of banh mi shops adding this to their combination sandwiches which I think they should! Ingredients like pate and vegetables were fresh and tasty. They also offered to cut my sandwich in half upon ordering which I appreciate. Their bread isn't exactly my preference but still good. Friendly staff and quick service. read more

Only $3.50 for a mini banh mi is such a bang for your buck in this economy! My mom introduced me to this bakery and I fell in love with their pate which added great flavor. If you're a pate lover like me, this one is more smooth and creamy. The actual bread itself is standard - tastes like your typical french baguette for a banh mi. The mini size is generously sized and was a great bite for lunch without feeling too full. It was my first time getting it myself and the service was OK. I was the only person inside and they all just stared at me without saying anything when I stood at the front of the counter. The lady was nice when I picked up my sandwich. Solid spot for banh mi IMO! read more

All it took was one photo of the unique meat pork bun / banh bao on one of the FB pages I follow and I was like, what is that and where can I get one? I found out in the comments that they came from this bakery. Good thing I was headed past San Jose the following week so I made sure to stop by on my way home. It was a weekday but already slim pickings by 3pm. Luckily plenty of the banh baos so I got a few plus the almond roll, BBQ pork bun, and taro pie. Everything was pretty good but I was not a fan of the taro pie. I think it's the texture of the filling. The banh bao had a really good filling packed with pork, minced fungus, hard boiled egg and a bit of Chinese sausage. Parking was busy but not terrible. I don't think I would go out of my way but if I'm in the area I would stop and get more pastries plus try out their banh mi. read more

This place has improved so much over the years! Customer Service: The workers are nice and there are multiple people working so there's not usually a wait. They ask you want you would like right as you walk in and then you pay at the counter. No complaints, just fast, simple service. I do appreciate that the recent time, the lady who helped me packaged my large order carefully and gave me lots of napkins without me asking! Parking: The plaza is quite large, but it gets packed, especially on the side where the bakery is (it's right next to Duc Huong). Still, you should be able to fins parking soon enough. Just be careful of the drivers. Pricing: Very fair pricing-super affordable. Pastries are about $2-4, compared to other places that are $5+ per pastry. Food: My mom loves the pate chaud/pate so (flaky pastry with minced meat inside) here so I get a big order for her each time I'm here. Their other items are all good, like the small hot dogs, pizza bun, cream puff (huge!). You can't go wrong. Atmosphere: It can get busy, but the line moves quickly. It's a pick-pay-go place, unless you order a sandwich, then you might need to wait a bit. I'm really impressed with how the place has changed from a more cluttered, univiniting space to the bakery place it is now. It is probably under new management. For a long time, I didn't even know what it was called because the sign was in Chinese character's, but now it's in English. Thanks! read more

It's been about a year since I've updated it with you. Just wanted to keep it fresh and let you know they did a major restorations they have flatscreen TVs two different lines. It is way more efficient in there. I am so happy to see the Mom and Pop shop updating and thriving. Please come here and support your local businesses not too many Mom and Pop shops anymore. Food is also delicious. I recommend the mini hotdog. Those are always mandatory and their chicken sandwich with the baguette bread, forget about it I mean it even the combination sandwich is really good and if you're feeling like you want an American type sandwich this place has subway looking like amateurs sandwiches. They have delicious pastrami sandwich sandwiches with this hot mustard That is amazing. Wouldn't even expect him to have those type of sandwiches there but they do and I have you recommend them. They're always sweet there. The service is ready like I said it is a family own business. read more

I've been going to this bakery since I was a child. My mom and I use to shop at the Asian grocery store next to this bakery and we would walk over afterwards to buy the sandwiches or banh bao (for $1 each). I remember they were big, fluffy, warm and delicious. My most recent visit I ordered the banh mi dac biet since I didn't want to wait for the long line at Duc Huong. I am so glad I did because the sandwich was delicious! Their pate is SO flavorful, probably one of the best pate from a sandwich shop I had in a while. They are generous with their pickled veggies too! Now I can't wait to come back to try the other banh mi options and those yummy crab bread! Definitely give this place a try if you are tired of waiting at duc huong, you won't regret it. read more

The #11 Dac Biet (combination) sandwich is delicious!!! I love love love love this sandwich!!! The flavor that this sandwich produce in my mouth after every bite I take is amazing!!! The other day I bought 2 #11 from here and then I went next door to get 2 sandwiches from Duc Huong just to see what the hype was and why there was so many people waiting in line at Duc Huong. I wanted to compare the two sandwich places for myself. I went back to my hotel and ate half of each sandwich. Duc Huong's bread was slightly softer than 111 Bakery..BUT the flavors in the 111 Bakery #11 was so much better than Duc Huong sandwich. Unsure what the hype is at Duc Huong..but I will choose 111 Bakery sandwich over Duc Huong any day. If you come here get the #1 so freaking delicious!!! I'm a petite girl but I can eat 2 of these in one seating if I wanted to! Yummy!!! Originally I wanted to give this place 5 stars because of the sandwich..but I had to knock off one star for their service. A majority of the workers here are so so friendly..but a small amount of them ignore you when you ask a question..good sandwich so so rude service depending on who helps you. read more

This place is honestly easy to miss because it's right next to Duc Huong, but it's definitely worth trying. The prices are super amazing for the quality, especially for the banh mi. The sandwiches are really big, filling, and still super cheap compared to a lot of other places. The only sad thing is I don't think they have crispy pork belly banh mi, which I would love to try if they ever add it. But overall, the banh mi was really good and I would definitely come back. 10/10 for the price and quality. read more

Absolutely the best local bakery here in the South Bay. I have been going here for as long as I can remember. It is owned by a friendly couple where they are also involved in the kitchen. My favorite pastry to get here is the crab bun. The bread itself is on the sweeter side and the crab has a nice taste to it with a subtle side. My go to sandwich is either the cold cuts or the pork floss sandwich. All of these food are at a reasonable price. You do need to spend $10 to use card or else it is cash. A cold dessert I love here is the vanilla cream puff. It has a nice creamy vanilla taste and the outside is still has a crunch to it without being soggy. Recently, they renovated the inside, so it definitely looks so much nicer now. This place will always have a special place in a heart and I will always come here for a quick bite to eat. read more

I'm never around McKee so I wasn't familiar with 111 Bakery. Their prices are really affordable! They sell banh mi, a variety of baked goods, and beverages. The full sized banh mi are big and generously filled. They also offer mini sizes if you want a smaller banh mi. I've tried their banh mi cha bong ga, dac biet, and thit nuong. The cha bong ga and dac biet banh mi were good, I particularly liked the dac biet with its combination of meats. I was disappointed with the thit nuong, I thought it was a bit too sweet. The bread is baked in house and a perfectly good vessel for all the fixings. I also tried their cheese roll which was similar to a Porto's cheese roll, but at least twice as big and less sweet. I liked the coarse sugar on the outside and the vanilla flavor in the filling. It was a nice little treat and only $2.50! I would definitely come back to 111 Bakery! The banh mi cha bong ga and dac biet are worthy of a return trip, plus I'd like to try their other pastry case offerings and moon cakes when they're available. The shop is clean and air conditioned. They do take out orders only and accept credit cards. read more
