Amy S.

First time customer and I ordered through Door Dash! I got a hot dip sandwich which was super yummy, however because it took so long to arrive, the bottom bun was soggy. That wasn't their fault and I would definitely go back and get it fresh in person because it tasted amazing!! The mac and cheese was bland and tasted more like buttered noodles, so wasn't a fan of that. The chocolate chip cookie was actually too salty that I had to toss it. But I did like the chicken sandwich and would go back for that and to try a cinnamon roll!

Avocado Toast, The Original Sandwich, Fruit Cup
Nina S.

Milk Bread is Kindred's sister restaurant and the quality is solid, especially when it comes to their sandwiches. That said, the pricing feels high for what you get. My avocado toast tasted fine but it was very average for twelve dollars and did not feel worth the price. I would stop in again if it were the only thing open, but it is not somewhere I go out of my way for.

Petite Warm Milkbread Beignets (12ct)
Denisa W.

Love the vibe of this place. Their matcha is incredible, and the hot coffee is pretty good. The iced coffee is a bit watery for my taste. There's usually a line during peak hours but you never wait too long, and the staff is friendly. The beignets are freshly made and to die for! Chicken sandwiches are always a win here, too.

The Hot Dip, Latte, Strawberry Matcha
Rosa O.

I avoided Milkbread for years out of pure principle. The old Dairy Queen used to sit on that corner like royalty, and I just wasn't ready to move on. But after finally giving in? Yeah... I've seen the light. I got The Hot Dip chicken sandwich and I will think about it for the rest of my life. Crispy, spicy, crunchy perfection with tangy slaw that made my eyes roll back (in a good way). I also grabbed an iced hazelnut latte and, no exaggeration, it was the bee's knees. Like, sipping-on-a-cloud good. The cashier was genuinely sweet, even offering us water cups without us having to beg or barter: rare behavior these days. And the ambience?? If I squinted and ignored the cars zooming down Plaza, I could've sworn I was lounging outside a chic Parisian café, living my best life. Almost forgot to mention that they also have Pup Cups! Long story short: I came in bitter and left a believer. Milkbread, you won.

The Original Sandwich

Milkbread served the best chicken sandwich I've had in a while and without a doubt, the best cinnamon roll I think I've ever had! The chicken was juicy on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside. The bread was fresh. The pickles and lettuce added a crunchy/fresh snap to the bite. What surprised us the most is how much flavor was on this sandwich! The chicken and the pickles had a ton of flavor. We loved the sandwich. The cinnamon roll!! That thing stole the show. We shared it for dessert. So ooey gooey and fresh and delicious! I loved it. The ham and cheese croissant reminded me of the croissants we had in Italy. The street dining experience is fun also. We loved this place so much, I'm taking my sister here this weekend!

Draft latte
Cristina R.

Fried chicken sandwiches and cinnamon rolls on an outdoor patio - the combo I didn't know I needed! Milkbread delivers on quality eats and casual vibes in the heart of Plaza Midwood. We came on a nice day and enjoyed our leisurely lunch at the outdoor tables with views of folks with their babies and dogs. You order & pay with a staff member at the window and wait for your name to be called. We enjoyed a draft latte (which was well blended and felt very caffeinated), OG sandwiches (crispy, moist chicken with briny pickles on soft potato bread), and a cinny roll (served warm with luscious frosting on the side). The menu has both breakfast and lunch items, which makes it a perfect option during daylight hours. Milkbread is a neighborhood staple, and I look forward to hanging out here again!

Morning Bagel
Lisbeth C.

Tasted really good, but it was kind of greasy. This location is perfect for not so sunny days. I also recommend ordering ahead. There's usually a line.

The OG sandwich was soggy and the chicken was uneven and the thick parts were incredibly dry. I might have to order something else cuz this sandwich was overrated. And the matcha was weak. With lots of menu items there may be a return visit.

Whole-ish Salad with hot dipped nuggets
Carol R.

The seasonal blueberry donut sounded so tasty. Sadly, it did not deliver on flavor. The glaze was bland and the donut itself was stale. Had an eggy smell to it as well. This trip was a miss.

The Hot Dip - vegetarian with Pimento Cheese
Inka M.

Milkbread is magically delicious! This has become my partner's and my favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently tasty, and I really appreciate that they offer vegetarian substitutions--like the veggie hot dip chick'n sandwich. I ordered mine with pimento cheese on a biscuit, and it was so good (though the biscuit did fall apart a bit). The staff is friendly, and the outdoor seating area has a great vibe--perfect for enjoying your meal. The only downside was seeing a male staff member stick his nose in someone's coffee cup, presumably to check the aroma. It came off a little disturbing. Overall, I'd give Milkbread a solid 9/10. Just a small suggestion: have staff regularly wipe down the dining areas to keep things consistently clean.

I enjoyed my first visit to Milkbread. It is a cute little eatery and is outside dining only. Staff were very friendly. My friend loves their sweets so she got a few different things. I loved the homemade pickles.

Strawberry matcha and tea
Tina S.

We went to MilkBread for a date brunch. They were out of doughnuts not good. You got to be patient for seating and parking. We ordered a wrap, fruit bowl, fried cauliflower, tea, and strawberry matcha. I enjoyed everything except fruit with creamy cheese.

The burnt edge of a ham & cheese croissant.
Martha M.

I ordered the ham and Gruyère croissant. The first one was burnt dark and black on the edges. Inedible. I sent it back. A few minutes later a staff woman brought a replacement to our table, which was just as dark and burnt with black edges. Disgusting. I took pictures. A croissant should be light and fluffy with a golden, lightly toasted exterior and a soft, stretchy gluten interior. It looked like the man in the kitchen was annoyed and had just sent me back the same croissant. The female staff didn't seem to care and were more focused on closing up shop than giving good service, despite the place not being due to close for another hour. I went to get an ice tea refill, only to discover that they had already taken up the ice tea urns. It was only 7pm.

Too expensive for what you get. Chicken sandwich is small and just ok. Don't go here unless you want to leave feeling disappointed.

Honestly incredibly mid. Pretty expensive for no sides and no drinks. Sandwiches were lukewarm, cinnamon rolls were cold.

A thick biscuit with a cold piece of cheese. The chicken was crispy and flavorful but nothing spectacular.

Le's Sandwiches & Cafe - Banh Mi Xa Xiu Baguette (B.B.Q. Pork Sandwich)

Le's Sandwiches & Cafe

4.6(432 reviews)
2.8 mi

As a San Francisco Bay Area foodie who's been steadily eating my way through Charlotte, I had…read morebookmarked Lee's Sandwiches and was excited to finally give it a try--and overall, it did not disappoint. The concept is refreshingly simple: a straightforward menu of banh mi sandwiches, summer rolls, chips, and prepared foods ready to go. They also offer beer on tap, traditional Vietnamese iced coffee and tea, and fresh fruit smoothies. No frills--just solid, approachable Vietnamese fare. I ordered the #8 Chinese barbecue (char siu) banh mi and requested light pâté and extra vegetables. The sandwich was made to order and came out quickly. One of the owners kindly let me know that pâté typically isn't included on that particular sandwich and didn't charge me for it, which I appreciated. The sandwich itself was good, reasonably priced (around $8-9), and filling. I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, which delivered exactly the caffeine kick I was looking for. It wasn't overly sweet, had beautifully crushed ice, and came with a proper lid--not the plastic film seal you sometimes see at boba shops. Combined, the sandwich and coffee came to about $15, which felt like a great value. The interior is charming and thoughtfully designed. There's a small tuk-tuk display with retail items, traditional Vietnamese decor like bamboo hats on the walls, and even a seating area with low stools that gives a nod to the street-side dining style you'd find in Vietnam. I also loved the creative touch of repurposed Café Du Monde coffee cans holding napkins and chopsticks--simple, clever, and memorable. One small note for authenticity seekers: as someone who grew up with traditional Vietnamese cuisine, I've been searching for the classic old-school imperial rolls made with rice paper that fries up bubbly, crispy, and slightly chewy. The owner confirmed what I've been noticing--that many restaurants in the Charlotte area adapt recipes to American tastes, so that particular style is harder to find here. It wasn't a dealbreaker, just an interesting cultural observation. For my personal taste, the char siu wasn't quite as rich or fatty as the Chinese barbecue versions I'm used to, and the pâté had a slightly bitter note. Next time, I'll likely try the lemongrass pork banh mi and skip the pâté altogether. Insider tip: This is a great spot for a quick, affordable lunch with authentic flavors and fast service. The iced coffee alone is worth the visit. Overall, a cute, well-run neighborhood shop with solid value, friendly service, and a menu that does a few things well. I'll definitely be back to continue exploring the offerings.

I used to come here all the time when I lived in Charlotte and Asian Corner was around still. Its…read morethe to go to place for Banh Mi. Now theres way more banh mi shops out there. Le's Sandwiches will always be my favorite banh mi shop in Charlotte. I had grew up eating there. They moved to another location which is the same parking lot area outside the lot by the old store. They had built and moved to a brand new shop. Iam so happy for them and wish the best for them. Their always quick and consistent with their food. Their banh mis are so delicous. It is usually quiet and not much seating inside to eat in.
