I just love coming to Houston in the Bel-Air area because if you're a fan of Vietnamese Banh Mi, there's so many to choose from and I was not disappointed, but surprised. I read the online reviews and some were not good and some were decent, but I am really surprised how fresh all the ingredients are. Very, very clean, interior restaurant, bright, colorful menu, and what I really like about the Banh Mi is how fresh all the. From the pickled carrots and the daikon to the extra cucumbers they gave it was really nice and pickled. The bread tasted like the same exact bread from alpha bakery inside Hong Kong supermarket it tasted almost identical, which is a good thing because it's a longer wider meteor loaf of bread and you can definitely taste the pate and the mayo on both sandwiches I ordered. Generous amount of cold cuts I mean, each bite was just full of meat fresh tender, cold, cut meats and the grilled pork they could've added a little bit more, but in my opinion, it was a good amount. It didn't put it over the top, which would've been even better, but it was a good amount right amount of grilled pork. generous amount of jalapeños and cilantro and one mix altogether it's just a great bite. You'll see that I added my own red onions. I like that additional funk of red onion flavor on my personal sandwich, but it doesn't come with it. Price point was a little bit more expensive than your standard banh mi I would assume it felt like maybe an additional 15 to 20% more but it's nice to try something new. The Vietnamese coffee tasted exactly what I would expect nuclear and sugary by drinking a stick of dynamite. The iced sugarcane could've been better you know less ice in my opinion and it was a little too sweet. Overall great experience and I will come again. read more

Been here twice now and haven't had a chance to try the food. I quite enjoyed my passion fruit smoothie with tapioca, it kinda fills you up like a small meal. The cup is adorable, but I do feel bad about the amount of plastic waste generated by it. $6 felt a little expense for this size, but perhaps that's just the going rate these days. read more

Super cute cafe-like location that serves drinks, snacks, and meals! Service is very nice and fast. I got the lemon grass beef sandwich for lunch and it was really flavorful and filling. The vegetables are really fresh and they really pack it all in there. I would definitely come back to try the rest of their menu! read more

I am writing this comment to formally complain about the quality of the food I just purchased. First, the banh mi I received was of extremely poor quality: the filling was old, and even worse, it smelled strongly of roaches. This is an unacceptable food safety and hygiene issue, making it completely inedible and forcing me to throw it away. Additionally, there was a mistake in the preparation of my order. I ordered shrimp and pork fresh spring rolls, but when I opened the package, I received grilled pork spring rolls instead. I am deeply disappointed with this experience. I hope store management immediately inspects kitchen hygiene and reviews your ingredient quality control process. read more

My friend really hyped up this Vietnamese spot in Houston for their bún bò Huế. We went to baguette and tea and ordered the combo that included pork hock, beef brisket, and beef shank. I also got their sugarcane juice with kumquat. The sugarcane juice came out first and it was so good. The kumquat provided a nice citrusy taste to it. The bun Bo hue comes with a plate of veggies. They also provide some chili oil, chili peppers, and a shrimp paste that makes the broth more salty. Their broth is actually not that spicy but it has a strong lemongrass flavor. They load up on the meat here and the portico is really big. The meat is so tender and soft, you barely have to chew to break them apart. I was pretty satisfied with this place read more

Let me start by saying the food was delicious and service was great I came with my work team and I ordered the shrimp with noodles . Everything was fresh and came out fast I also had a mango slush with jelly also really good Honestly the whole experience was 5 stars until well a roach run across the floor and my coworker stepped on it Made us second guess everything we ate. There's a difference in knowing most restaurants have roaches and actually seeing it Also if you don't eat pork ( such as many of my corkers ) please please ask them and let them know . My coworker ordered one of the soups and it only listed different parts of beef and boom a chunk of pork jelly was inside and he had to send his food back. read more

I really love this place! Situated at a bit less busier corner of Ai Hoa Marketplace, the place is bigger than expected once stepped inside. They have nice and huge window facing the streets. It's fun to just sit, eat and car watching lol The food is really tasty! I've tried their banh mis, soups and rice plates. Out of everything, their meatball banh mi and fried garlic chicken rice plate stood out the most. I keep coming back for those dishes. Other people that I've recommended those dishes said they love it! Their drinks are hit or miss. Staff is nice, polite and welcoming. Love this place and feel like they're so underrated and not hyped up enough. read more

Baguette & Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is one of the newer banh mi places around town, but it has become my favorite spots for banh mi and other Viet snacks. They always get my orders right, and everything is always tasty, fresh, and flavorful. The service is always good, and the store is super clean. My parents are not fond of most Viet food places around town, but even they like the foods from here because the foods taste similar to the ones they had when they lived in Vietnam. I always order to-go from here, either directly from the store or through a food delivery app, and the quality is never a miss. Some of my favorites are Xôi Thập Cẩm (Combo Sticky Rice), Bánh Mì Combo Thịt Nguội (Cold Cut Sandwich), Cơm Tấm Sườn Đặc Biệt (Combo Pork Chop Broken Rice), and Bánh Mì Heo Nướng (Grilled Pork Sandwich). Not everything is pictured, but I also really like their Bò Bía (Summer Roll), Strawberry Smoothie, and Nước Mía Tắc (Sugar Cane with Kumquat), and many other dishes and snacks that they have available. read more

Visited this spot on a Sunday afternoon for the first time today. There was available parking out front which is not always the case in the area, even just further down the strip center. You order your food and drinks up front at the counter and they bring your order out to your table. The restaurant is well lit with natural sunlight and the decor is new and gives bright and airy vibe. The food and drinks came out quick, portions were generous and the service was attentive and courteous. The employees came out to our table multiple times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, which was nice. All our orders were tasty and I enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee, which was rich and creamy. They were able to accommodate our party of 8, which included two toddlers. Restrooms are clean. There is a $6 minimum charge for using credit cards, just FYI. We will definitely be back as their menu is pretty extensive and we really enjoyed our lunch here today. read more

Gave them a second chance with door dash order again. They got my order requests of no pate, no cucumber, no cilantro correct... But missing the mayo & extra mayo I paid extra for! Last time they didn't give me extra mayo I paid for as well. I know inflation is high, but they 2 slices of round cha lua log and cut in halves for my cha lua. The combo cold cut only cost 60 cents more came with extra cold cuts... The menu on door dash for the sticky rice combo doesn't say there's pate in there, but they put a slab of on there. I did appreciate they read my request for no peanuts. read more

Ordered over DoorDash : 1x Bun thịt nướng chai go (vermicelli noodles with beef and egg roll) $12 & nuoc mia (sugar cane juice) $7 Sugar cane juice: 9/10 refreshing & sweet, but little amount. Few sips in and you hit bottom. Food: fish sauce is too sweet, beef is frail & soggy before adding sauce, but noodles/eggroll were good. 6/10 They have potential to better. I wouldn't really come back here for the food though, but I might stop by for a drink. read more

My friend recommended Baguette and Tea on the other side of Beltway. I rarely come here because traffic on Bellaire Blvd can be burdensome. I came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was not so busy. But as soon as I got my drink, people started to pouring in. I ordered Thai Green Tea with non-dairy milk, less sugar and medium ice. Employee asked if I want toppings. I normally don't want any. But since I asked for less ice, I would want to fill the cup with something extra. They recommended egg custard. Sounds good, but I know it has milk. Then, I looked the menu again thought basil seeds would be good. I saw their facial expression. Ha! I let them pick one for me. So, they chose grass jelly. The drink came out extremely smooth and taste perfectly to my desire. It made me want to come back to try other things on the menu. I saw some yummy looking noodle soups in pictures. I will bring a translator with me on my next visit. read more

I've been waiting on this spot to open for a very long time & now it's opened. I wanted to try a few items just to see what they're all about. The decor is very nice & the service from the cashier was excellent. Here's what I ordered. * Mango milk tea- The mango flavor was there but the tea was nonexistent & weak. Hopefully the next I order their milk/fruit teas that it'll have a strong flavor of green/black tea in it. 1/5 * Egg-rolls- they were alright to be honest, it tasted like it was frozen & then refried. Not homemade in my opinion. 2.5/5 * Com tam dac biet (combination)- it comes with Pork chop, sunny side up egg, egg meatloaf & shredded pork. Unfortunately they didn't have the shredded pork :( so I got double egg meatloaf instead & I added some grilled shrimp as well. It was a solid dish, definitely not the best. The pork chops were cooked nicely & it was tendered. The side soup that came with it wasn't good at all, it was bland, weird tasting & didn't have any flavor at all. 3.5/5 * Banh Mi combination (cold cut)- it was toasted nicely with a good amount of mayonnaise on it. It tasted fresh & was textbook made. 4.2/5 Overall it was a decent experience but the service is what gave it a 4. I didn't get the cashiers name but she was very helpful & kind. Will I come back? Yep. Next time I would like to try their Vermicelli bowl & Bun Bo Hue (I didn't even know they had BBH). read more

Brand new banh mi and boba place in Bellaire in front of Hai Cang. Walking in, this place is NICE! We really liked how open and bright it is, with tons of natural lighting. The store is very clean and the workers were very friendly. We tried their signature milk tea, 25% sweet, with boba, and their lemongrass beef banh mi. The banh mi was the best we've had in awhile. The meat was so flavorful we didn't need to add any sriracha or maggi seasoning. The milk tea was solid, but the tapioca itself was a little clumpy to where it wouldn't go through the straw. Overall though, we really liked this place! Even though there's tons of banh mi and tapioca options in Bellaire, we will definitely come back. This place is great for bigger groups to hang out because they have a couple bigger tables. Cheers! read more

Great place if you want banh mi and milk tea at the same spot. Very clean and neat interior. Pricing is ok but the banh mi is just a tad higher. Here's what I think of the food My boyfriend and I shared and split half. Banh mi lemongrass beef - has a lot of lemon grass. I was ok with the amount of lemon grass but he said it's very grassy lol. I wish the meat was grilled to bring out more flavor. The meat portion was a decent amount. Banh mi shredded chicken - YUM! Their chicken is on point and comparable to Nguyen Ngo. I wish they gave a bit more meat in the sandwich though. Bf and I liked the chicken over the beef. Both banh mi were warm and soft. However they barely gave any veggies (esp pickled carrots) and it needed a good dose of maggi soy sauce. I had to ask for it because it was lacking a bit. The eggrolls were ok. Nothing to rave about. Ok amount of filling too. The brown sugar milk tea was good and sweet enough. Some place overdo it with the drizzle and can be overly sweet. B&T signature mt was a bit underwhelming. It's light in flavor and barely hint of sweetness. Still decent enough for me to drink. While their boba has a good texture and bounce to it was bland. They need to offer honey or brown sugar boba as an option. Overall this place is decent. Didn't have any wow factor. If I do come here it'll be for the chicken banh mi. read more

This is my first time ever ordering Banh Mi from this establishment. I've previously ordered the Salted Foam Coffee aka Cà Phê Muối. The coffee here is really good I'll give it that but I'm a little confused and perplexed by the steamed pork roll banh mi aka bánh mì chả lụa. When I had called in to ask a question, one of the employees had answered and I had asked her how many slices of the steamed pork roll does it go into an order of banh mi? She responded and I quote " they weigh the banh mi and the steamed pork roll out to 8 oz exact. " This is the first time I have ever heard of this kind of response and to me I was a bit surprised. Steamed pork rolls are usually made in house. But then again some Vietnamese sandwich places do go through a vendor. I am just going to assume that due to inflation that the steamed pork roll is expensive. The Banh mi itself was $6.25 and I ordered through Uber Eats. read more

New to Houston area but I really like this place! I was driving around the area looking for a good bahn mi, their name caught my attention because it sounded like a cute cafe. I was right. The shop is very clean and neat, I love how there is a small flower vase on each table; the decors in the shop is very cute. I ordered the special bahn mi combo and the bon bo hue noodles. I will give both a 8.5/10. The bahn mi was crispy bread and yummy stuffings. I wish they give more little bit more of the bahn mi toppings for the price I paid for. The noodle was flavorful and meats are very tender. The broth is actually a little spicy, which is good. I would definitely come back again and try more foods since they have a decently big variety of options. Of course, the service here is 10/10. We were first greeted by the cashier, and after we ordered and sat down at a table, regardless being the only seated table in the shop, another staff came and greeted my mom and I and served us water. I was not so hungry but I will want to come back again for a good quick bite. read more

Amazing place for banh mi! Interior is so clean and pretty big. Menu has many options to choose from. They offer noodles, soup, banh mis and many appetizers! I'd definitely recommend y'all to come out and try their banh mis, they DONT skimp on the meat! Very flavorful and crunchy bread as well. I usually add pate and extra butter on my bread bc that's the best part !! I have yet to try other things but I definitely will be coming back here to explore more options. My first experience was fantastic! They're doing buy 5 get 1 free banh mi as well!! read more

Three of us came in around 11:30. The place wasn't crowded, but we waited nearly an hour for our food. It didn't arrive until 12:25. We had to ask several times, and each time they told us "five more minutes." When the food finally came, my drink was still missing, and we had to remind them again. No AC inside either, so it was hot and uncomfortable. Really poor service. Not coming back. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning for some caffeine. This place has a big parking lot and it's easy to find right off the street. It's cute and clean inside but tiny (wouldn't recommend during peak meal times or if you have a larger group). My friend and I got the Vietnamese coffee, 1 regular and 1 milky. The prices went up 50cents because I had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a while. The drinks came out fast and were very good, I'm definitely going to try the milky one next time and some food. My one complaint is the male owner/manager was micromanaging the lady who was taking my order. I ordered my drink and he was telling her what to input in the iPad. She repeated my order back to me after he left and it was wrong (I asked for one Vietnamese coffee in house and he told her two Vietnamese coffee to go). He should let her do her job since he can't even hear or understand me. read more

This is my go to place for banh mi. I think i go here at least once a week! The baguette is always toasted to perfection and all the spread and fillings are the perfect portion. I look forward to my weekly banh mi run when i have time. Highly recommend! Their bun are pretty decent also. I've tried the bun thịt nướng and com xuống... would def order again when craving.

Fresh. Great service. Outstanding vermicelli bowls. What a great place to have found.

Stumble upon this place because I was craving banh mi and they were still open! I've actually seen this place driving by when they was building it and they finally open it!

I got the chicken banh mi and the xiu mai. Both very warm and flavorful! I got the strawberry milk tea half sweet, very good! read more

A new, local, and delicious addition to the strip mall, Baguette & Tea is a counter service restaurant that offers everything from Bun Bo Hue (Hue Noodles Soup) to Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich). Milk tea and smoothies are also available. I ordered the Honey Dew smoothie and I found it to be a tad too sweet (surprisingly for me!). Next time I will request to have less sugar as they have the option to customize your drink. As for food, we ordered the Banh Mi Xiu Mai (Meatball Sandwich), Xoi Thap Cam (Combo Sticky Rice), and Com Tam Thit Nuong (Crushed Rice with Grilled Pork) and ALL of them were satisfyingly great. The Banh Mi Xiu Mai had lots of meatballs and is on the sweeter side. The Xoi Thap Cam was my favorite! It had shredded egg, lots of meat, and pate in it. The Com Tam Thit Nuong looked tasty as well, but I was too full from my two dishes to try it :P As for service, it was speedy, attentive, and hospitable. All in all, I would come back and eat the same dishes again and also try new dishes. I'm a new local fan! read more

I would like to note first that I honestly didn't feel that it was appropriate for the guy there to automatically add a 16% tip to my to-go order. I think the "ask first" policy is always better. It's not that I wasn't going to leave a tip, but they way that it was selected for me was very unpleasant as a costumer. Secondly, and more noteworthy, the food is very mediocre and over priced to my opinion. The banh mi was super small and the meat was too sweat and lacking. Let me emphasis again, the banh mi/ sandwich here are super small compared to other places. The rice plate was also pretty bad. How can you go wrong with a "com thit nuong?" The milk tea was one of the worst teas I've ever had in Houston -- and quite frankly, milk tea with boba is one of the most basic drink ever. I'm not picky, some places make them super satisfying, others are a bit less in quality, but overall, it's a milk tea with boba... how can you go wrong? I generally do not leave bad reviews, but this place really deserves only 2 stars or less. It's a new business, so hopefully they pick up the slack. In general, I don't mind over paying for food... if the portions small, I'll order an extra portion.... But if the food/ drinks are bad period then I would never order again! read more

Supporting a new local restaurant, Baguette And Tea, that just opened on 03/10/2022. Got their Banh Mi Dac Biet (Cold Cuts), Com Tom Dac Biet (Combo), Spring Roll, and B&T Signature Milk Tea. Everything is fresh, fragrant, tasty. They do have their own slight twist to the flavor profiles of these common Vietnamese dishes. The Grilled Pork has a nice smokiness without being too burnt. The Cold Cuts of the Banh Mi are exceptionally fresh. We enjoyed our lunch here at this new place that's offering a 20% discount until 03/18. The staffs are friendly and attentive even for a counter service restaurant. Most importantly, I got to have extra time with my wife, Vanessa, who's taking a much-deserved respite from teaching during Springbreak. read more

We wanted to get boba after getting groceries at Cho Tan Binh nearby, so we found this place and wanted to try it out. After visiting this place, we were not impressed here. They, unfortunately, ran out of tapioca, which is a pet peeve for many boba lovers like me; I ended up substituting with crystal boba instead in my drink, which is a honey milk tea. The honey milk tea almost tasted like jasmine milk tea, but it's like jasmine milk tea w/ honey added. My mom's taro coconut smoothie was not all that too, either. The service there was very slow, and we waited almost 10-30 minutes for our drinks, unlike most boba shops that have fast service, depending on how long the line is. Besides boba, this place also has banh mi, bun thit nuong, fried rice, and other typical foods that you would find in a Vietnamese restaurant. After our visit here, we will not be back and will go to other boba shops in Bellaire instead. read more
