    Grilled Pork Banh Mi
    Lauryn T.

    I came here to grab a quick bite I ended up deciding on getting a grilled pork Banh Mi & Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee was great perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness. If you have a certain preference you can definitely ask them to change it, mine was just right. The baguette made the banh mi so delicious it was light & soft biting into it. You honestly can't go wrong with a banh mi. Will definitely be back to try more food!

    We've been back to peppermint baguette several times now and I can confidently say that it is the best banh mi spot in alameda! I am rlly picky with banh mi sandwiches, and especially hate when the bread is too hard to chew or cuts up the roof of your mouth. Peppermint baguette does neither and it is perfectly seasoned with a good amount of filling at a great price. Now my fave banh mi spot is def ba le in Oakland, but peppermint is just sooo close and it is almost as good and not too much more expensive. We always get the cold cut combo and it always hits. The veggie sandwich I would pass on. The egg rolls are good and very well seasoned, even though they might look small and lackluster in the box. The flavorrrr though. Solid! We did a taste test of the cold cut sandwich and egg rolls at both peppermint baguette and mango and mint, and we both felt that peppermint baguette tasted better and is a better value. As you see in the pics, mango and mint's presentation def looks better, but their egg rolls were a bit lacking in flavor and the roll of their bread was bigger, so it started hurting my jaw after a while. The sandwich was also almost twice the price of peppermint's!

    This time we stopped in to try the grilled chicken banh mi sandwich, and the vegetarian vermicelli bowl. Both were very good and highly recommended. Especially the vegetarian vermicelli dish. The veggie protein was thin strips of fried tofu and tarot, tossed in roasted soy/rice powder. It comes with dry roasted and chopped peanuts, pickled carrots/daikon strips, chiffonade-cut fresh herbs of thai basil/cilantro/romaine lettuce, rice vermicelli noodles, and a nicely balanced veggie version of the nuoc mam/cham dipping sauce which is usually made with fish sauce for this Vietnamese dish. Grilled chicken banh mi was also very good with a good serving of chicken.

    Doordash review: Ordered both a combination(photo shown) and a head cheese only(no photo), and that was pretty good. The sandwich tastes better than it looks. Good bread. Didn't cut up my mouth could use a little more pate, mayo and meat, but for the price, it's not so bad.

    Menu as of 5.24.26

    Solid sandwiches with a good ratio of meat and veg. Bread not too dry but still crunchy after a car ride home.

    Peppermint Baguette opened where Pho Nation Express was, next to a vibrant Gong Cha. A few tables inside & outside available for dining. Offerings: drinks, snacks, egg rolls, waffles, banh mi. Ordered at the counter, pd, eats ready in 10ish minutes. Bites: grilled pork banh mi (8) -big chewy baguette partially filled with cilantro, daikon, jalepeno slices, carrot shreds, red onions, smear tasting like mayo-butter not pate. -some parts crunchy. Protein tasted like steamed/boiled pork though some parts looked grilled. -yummy like comfort food though it didn't taste like the usual 3.5 stars

    Date: 9/28/2024 Time: 4:45 PM 65° Sunny I was craving a banh mi since I haven't had one in over 10 years. A yelp search for banh mi venues in Alameda resulted in three places - Rang Dong in Neptune Plaza, Mango & Mint on Webster near Lincoln and Peppermint Baguette on Santa Clara near Park. I know there are other places that serve banh mi, but I have to take into consideration how close are these places to public transportation, mainly AC 20, 51A, and 96. I have never been to Peppermint Baguette and my curiosity got the best of me. A bus ride from the west end to the Park Street Shopping District would be a nice outing for the weekend. How convenient that the bus stop is directly across the street from this sandwich shop. Peppermint Baguette shares space with Gong Cha. Neat how one side has food on the menu while the other side does the beverages. Ambiance: a soft feminine color theme of lavender, cream and pink, soothing colors to the soul of this woman. Indeed very charming and it exudes romance. Okay, I need to stop with what is going to sound like a romantic novel. LOL. Eats: #4 headcheese banh mi and #9 grilled chicken banh mi. It was difficult to decide which one I wanted, so I ordered the two aforementioned banh mi's. Their food menu has a nice selection of assorted appetizers. The prices are reasonable. The cost of two banh mi's was $16.89 (tax included). Young lady who handled the cash register duty handed me a $5.00 bill. I told her she gave me the incorrect change. I got the correct change of $3.11. How was my headcheese banh mi? The meat portion was great and it was on point. I'm saving the grill chicken banh mi for later. I am definitely eager to do a return visit for the fried potstickers (12 for $7.75) and the 7-pc. shrimp tempura for $6.75. It is also an opportunity for me to check out Gong Cha. Seating capacity for dining indoor at Peppermint Baguette is about 10 people. Overall, I am glad I stopped in at Peppermint Baguette.

    Full transparency: I was hesitant to come here solely because of the name. Decided to give it a try because I was getting a drink at Gongcha and I'm glad I did. I just wanted a snack, so I got the popcorn chicken. It was tasty! Comes with quite a bit of chicken and can definitely be shared. Posted some menu photos to show their variety of drinks and food. Miscellaneous: - Indoor seating available (one table and bar stools) - Parking is available via street parking or the parking garage around the corner - From when I placed my order, it took about 10-15 minutes to get my chicken (not bad)

    Quality/Quantity Grilled Chicken Banh Mi - My wife has been craving this and we have not found an "authentic" place in Alameda yet. Well hopefully this will be the place...? I wanted to eat it there (fresh), but my wife insisted that we bring it back to the house. Overall, it was good and with generous chicken. So this will be my wife's "go-to" place? Atmosphere - This half of the business has gone through a few businesses, and maybe even a few owners...? I believe they are the same owners as Gong Cha, the shared tea business...? Good size location, but most customers take to-go. For both businesses. Metered street parking, or free neighborhood parking if you do not mind walking a block or two. Is purple your favorite color? Cool purple decor throughout. Service - Good. Answered (put up with) all my questions, even some of the personal ones, like how long have you been here, are you the same owners as Gong Cha, same family, etc. Price - $8, reasonable price. Owner Comment - Congrats on your one month new business. I hope you last longer than the previous sandwich businesses.

    Grilled Pork Sandwich and Egg Puff Chocolate Waffle
    Mary Y.

    Decided to try this new place for lunch while walking by. Connected to Gongcha, the store has their own section and waiting area which was nice. I ordered the pork banh mi sandwich and their chocolate egg puff waffle for dessert. Overall, the food was pretty good. The only thing is that I wish there was more meat added into the sandwich but the portion size was still enough to get full on. Would come again to try more of their menu, they have lots of different snacks and sandwiches available.

    1. Combo banh mi
    Wilson W.

    THIS WAS A GREAT FIND! Hidden in Gong cha, It is easy to miss. use to get popcorn chicken from happy lemon, which was always bland, soggy, and lack of proper flavoring. THIS PLACE IS opposite of that, popcorn chicken done right! I think it is the only place in alameda and oakland that does it right. banh mi was also really good, but i thought the vegetables could have been more pickled. Staff was also very friendly. Highly recommend and glad it exists in alameda. I dont know where else id go for this quality around here.

    Vegetarian spring rolls (not on menu but if u order the reg shrimp spring rolls & indicate Vegetarian instead). Flavorful and fresh!

    Shredded tofu banh mi's and spring rolls! We love how this place customizes!! Ordered on DoorDash and wrote out our customized requests. They got everything right and everything ordered was delicious and fresh!

    Ordered to go. Got 2 special combo and 1 spring roll. I've been trying to find a good ban mi sandwich place and this is by far my favorite place so far. The portions are even and the meat quality and quantity were just enough. Best part, they have pate! Not like other places where it's mayo or something off. The spring was ok, I enjoy more than just noodles, lettuce, cucumber and shrimp in my spring rolls. The roll was tight and the presentation was there but I just prefer some herbs and extra veggies or meat in my spring rolls. The spring roll sauce was the norm hoisin sauce and peanut butter. Nice to have a chili oil on the side too which I mixed it altogether with my Siracha and fish sauce at home. I will come back for the ban mi tho!

    Overview: my new favorite place for banh mi that's close to home, large portions and great flavor…read more ---- We were taking a walk around Webster and found this place next to an ice cream place that I like. Lemongrass Pork $12 - we added a fried egg $2 extra so the sandwich ended up to be $14 - it has all the typical accompaniments like mayo, daikon, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro - this sandwich also came with pate (liver spread) which is one of my favorite additions - the portions are filling - the egg was a good add on but I probably wouldn't do it again, it only can with one fried egg in the middle which was delicious but it's expensive and there was only one so when we got to the ends of the sandwich there was no more egg ---- Notes: - street parking (metered) and residential parking is close by but you might have to walk a few blocks on busy days - we walked from the Saturday Farmers' Market but I love how walkable Alameda is, the walk was quite nice - inside and outside seating available, the inside is very small with only 2 tables, the ambiance isn't super appealing to dine-in - we ordered it to-go but there you can definitely dine-in to eat, most people also ordered to-go and for pick-up - the food took a little bit of time to come out bc they were so popular! Lots of to-go and online orders being picked up when we were waiting! ---- Overall: authentic banh mi without having to leave our little island, filling portion, great flavor

Came for lunch with my husband while visiting the Pacific Pinball Museum nearby, and this is just a short walk away. Both my husband and I got the vegan protein banh mi that appeared to be a new item on their menu based on the signage, I think it was a lemongrass "beef" one, but they apparently also have a mushroom and tofu banh mi which I will have to try next time we're in the area. Sandwiches were pretty good! Veggies were fresh and the vegan protein was flavorful, and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle like it should be. The location seems well-kept and clean, and the staff at the register were friendly. There's very limited seating inside the cafe and only a couple of tables outside, so it seems more popular for takeout (and indeed several folks came by to order takeout while we were eating there). Given my husband's current interest in pinball, I suspect we'll visit the museum again and when we do, I expect I would like to come back here for lunch again!
