Q Bakery is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a good Vietnamese sandwich. It gets really busy, so I usually call in my order ahead of time. I've been coming here for years and it's still a regular stop for me. My go-to orders are the #20 (shredded chicken) and #21 (BBQ pork): both always hit. I'll usually grab a drink to go with it, and sometimes I can't resist picking up a pastry or two. My husband is a big fan of their beef stew as well. And if you're not in the mood for a sandwich, their loaves of bread alone are worth stopping by for, they're that good. Consistently solid and definitely a staple for me! read more

Wait I thought I did a review on this place already after having it a million times in my life! Oh well, better now than never. This place is one of my first favorites for banh mi sandwiches after the quality of those in Seattle's Little Saigon area have rapidly declined. It's also a place I've been going to since I was little, though I don't remember most of the interior changes that have occurred here if any. This place shares parking in a plaza that is absurdly strict about perfect, not-over-the-lines parking, so be warned. This place serves banh mi, drinks, pastries and a lot of packaged Vietnamese street food near the front. But forget about all that, because this is also the place where most people carry bags and bags of their baguettes, and JUST baguettes. Heck, I used to get them back then too when I was making my own banh mi sandwiches or just wanted some freshly baked bread. For a majority of my visits and this one, I got their grilled pork banh mi, which uses those same baguettes. I will say that their quality of banh mi has declined over the years, but not as hard as other places I used to have banh mi at in Chinatown. For the one I got for this review, it came with everything and was done very well. Pork was still grilled though not as much, and there was an ample amount of veggies and jalapeno peppers that I look for and thoroughly enjoy in my sandwich. It's not runny or drippy with sauce, and the baguette is the right kind of crispy each time. This is also the place that has the most consistent quality of banh mi that I've had so far over the years, so that's something I love about this place. It may not be as awesome as some other places that go above and beyond (like Saigon Drip Cafe or even Banh Mi Deluxe very close by), but I like to think of this place as a middle ground for what makes a great banh mi. Besides their banh mi, I sometimes also get their steamed buns, which have a ton of pork, a small slice of Chinese sausage and a small hard-boiled egg too. This and their sandwiches/baguettes are really good when you come here! read more

Q Bakery - Grilled pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is clearly a local spot! The lady that took my order was very sweet and confirmed it with me. The bahn mis were delicious and they came out really quickly too. They also have a market area where you can buy their Demi baguette for $5.50 and around 3:30 people came pouring in the door to clear them out. For ambiance it's very busy and popular! There's nowhere to sit but the sandwiches were really well packaged to go so I was fine with take out. read more

First off i'd love to rate this place at least a 3.5 out of 5. Anyways, I came to grab a Bahn Mi at this place because I'm still on the search for a go to Bahn Mi place in the greater Seattle area. One that's cost effective while also providing that flavor that I'm familiar with. Cost of a Bahn Mi is decently priced around 8-9 dollars or so. I got the grilled pork Bahn mi Texture of the baguette has that crispy with a flaky crust texture. This one doesn't cut the roof of your mouth like typical baguettes do and it has some softness to its flesh. Accoutrements are layered and have that classic flavor profile I like. Only thing that fell a little short was the amount of grilled pork. The unique thing I noticed as well was their grilled pork was sliced thinly. In comparison to the BBQ pork that my friend got. They had a larger portion of BBQ pork on their Bahn mi. This place also has some grab and go Asian baked goods. One that I tried was a fried bread with sesame seeds. It reminded me of the sesame balls at dim sum places without the red bean paste. Also was way larger and had tons of surface area in comparison to a sesame ball. All in all. I may consider giving them another try because their BBQ pork Bahn mi did look good. Establishment is nothing too fancy I think it's equatable to other Bahn mi spots I've been to. read more

As soon as you walk in, the smell of freshly baked baguettes hits you immediately. There's no other bakery in the area that has this effect. There's not a lot of hype around this place, but there's always a line here, even on a random weekday. The banh mi is so worth it., and ingredients are always fresh. One of my favorite spots for banh mi. read more

The Bakery makes bread for banh mi. As soon as you drive in to the parking lot, you immediately smell the wonderful aroma of fresh baked bread in the air! My favorite is the butter bread! It's like a big croissant, so good, so buttery! It sells out quickly, so get there early (opens at 6am) if you want to get some. Customers come in and purchase bags of bread rolls. They also have assorted pastries, banh mi, smoothies, coffee and vietnamese snacks. read more

Q Bakery - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in the back part of a has-been tiny shopping center having a parking lot with failing pavement, Q Bakery is a great little bakery featuring good bánh mì, great pâté chaud, and lots of fresh-baked rolls. It is popular -- having a line is the norm, despite the somewhat obscure location -- and there's good reason for that. The staff is friendly and helpful (and very busy), and the bánh mì are good, with many varieties to choose from. Most of the customers are local, and a great many of them are Vietnamese -- a testimony to the authenticity of their food, and the reasonable prices too. It is obvious that many delis and restaurants get their bread (for bahn mi and other things) at Q Bakery, and indeed their rolls probably set the standard for bánh mì in Seattle (Vietnamese style, rather than French or American style). Why a 4-star and not a five? Because this is a solidly good place, but there are other many other establishments where the bánh mì are good too. read more

Im pretty sure, nearly every Bahn mi place in the area gets their bread here, and for good reason! The bread here is great quality and super affordable. I have heard of this place many times from friends before, and finally got the chance to try it. Walking in, the place was super bustling and there was lots of people there! Most of the people I saw were there to buy the baguettes, but I wanted to try one of their Bahn Mis, so I ordered the grilled pork Bahn mi. And I am glad i did! The grilled pork was juicy and tasty, and the bread tasted super fresh. It was less spicy than I'm used to for Bahn mi but I actually liked the milder taste. Overall I think I will definitely be back here when I'm around! read more

We were recommended by family to try Q Bakery since we were craving for banh mi! It definitely did not disappoint. The banh mi ga (chicken) and dac biet (original) were really tasty. The original was $6.25 and the chicken was $5.50, which is a great price, seeing that a lot of banh mi shops in Portland sell them for around $7-9 now. We tried the banh mi, banh bao, pate chaud, nem nuong (meatball) and bought some baguettes. Our favorites were the banh mi for sure and the banh bao was really good too! They had a banh bao deal, so you could buy 4 baos for $15. Our least favorite was the pate chaud because it just didn't come with a lot of meat. We saw a lot of people coming in and out of the restaurant around 9:30 AM, so we knew it's a hot spot for Vietnamese sandwiches! We'd love to come back again for the banh mi when we're in the area. read more

Best place to get a bahn mi in this area! Shout out Nate and Chelsea for bringing me here before Earthgang in 2020! I've always come back! And will always be back (: read more

I stopped by when I was in the area and wanted to pick up a quick lunch. Q Bakery was pretty busy on a random weekday at 12, but the food came out quickly. They sell fresh baguettes and other bread/pastry items there that locals seemed to love and were buying in bulk. I tried the grilled pork banh mi ($6.25), which tasted really fresh and was delicious! I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was very strong and not too sweet compared to others I've tried. Service was not amazing, but kind of to be expected for this type of place. Overall, would recommend if you're looking to buy inexpensive lunch for yourself or many others! read more

Q Bakery - Inside of bakery - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have patronized this business for many years and have bought hundreds of banh mi's! I have recommended this place over and over till today. So I went there bought several banh mi's and found they use a lower quality bread for their sandwiches now! They were comparable to a hoagie roll you got at QFC! It did not have distinct crust it usually did. We bought the bag of bread to and saw it is different. It has distinct 3 stripes like a torta bread. The inside was not soft and chewy and no crispy crust: I hope they will go back to using their original bread for the banh mi. Sorry I didn't take a picture, we were all so upset ! read more

In the neighborhood and was picking up a sandwich for a friend. Since I saw the guy bagging the rolls non stop in the back I knew the bread was going to be fresh. I was going to be standing around waiting for one sandwich so i figured I'd get myself one as well. It wouldn't look good if I bit my friend's sandwich just to try it A little confusing on where to stand. Order your sandwich from the window deeper in. The window up front is for phone orders and purchases of the bagged bread. They do a great business of the sandwich rolls and smaller ones. The bag of 6 was $3.25, maybe a dozen of the smaller ones was $5. I saw a guy from Smarty Pants pick up 150 rolls! Sandwich was good - toss up on whether I'd want a $7 banh mi with less meat, or a more packed sandwich from my neighborhood for $14. read more

The bread here is so fresh, light, and airy, perfect for banh mis! Value wise, Q bakery is tough to beat at $5.50 for a sandwich! I ordered their combo banh mi and it was very satisfying. Includes pate, mayo, cilantro, jalapeño, pickled veggies, and a fair amount of meat. Just wish it had more of the pickled veggies or cilantro. Overall, would recommend! read more

Not matter how good this is, but if I need to wait over 15 minutes for 3 sandwiches, this ain't for me. Plus they ain't even good. The meat combination is literally all processed meat and has no sauce nor enough carrots. The bread is soo chewy - I can't believe people keep buying these breads. I don't see the point. We thought it was $5 based off reviews but it was $7-10 lol the $6 one is mostly discouraged by us to order I feel like because it is on the other side of the menu that you can barely see. A little unorganized on how people pay because there are two cashiers but they are not in the same spot. Would not come back again. Literally 30 people waiting for sandwiches. Need faster turn around time. read more

Amazing authentic Viet bakery. This has been recommended to me by several friends, and it was so worth the stop. Giant bags of baguettes in bulk order greet you in the back, a sign of its legit-ness. The highlight I came here for was the pate chaud. Similar meat shortcrust pies exist throughout Seattle and in various ethnic contexts, and by far this has been my favorite rendition. The pastry is impossibly flaky and buttery, with an undertone of savory lard and lots of love. The meat inside is juicy and flavorful. It's perfectly toasted and the texture is spectacular. I've also had the pound cake (a little too sweet and not very buttery) and shrimp balls on skewers , and seafood pate slices (a bit too salty and unbalanced in flavor) from the hot bar. Will definitely need to try the banh mi next time, bt the favorite for me so far as been the pate chaud. There's so much to try here, and I will definitely be back! read more

I recommend the almond cookies here! Chewy center and almond hint. It has got me for coming back for more. Update came back for more and price was raised and wasn't chewy or fresh anymore read more

I stumbled upon this place on a weekend while in the area. I saw several people at this place, so I was intrigued. I decided to order their BBQ pork banh mi, which was around $5.

Q Bakery is my new favorite spot for banh mi! The banh mi is very affordable likely due to baking all the bread in house. I've tried various banh mi flavors (bi, xa xiu, dac biet). All the components have good flavors and they have a good ratio of each ingredient. Will definitely come back to support the Vietnamese aunties! read more

I recently bought their chạo tôm, which is a hot and greasy food item. They put it in a plastic-lined paper bag, which isn't suitable for wet or oily food, it could easily rip. I asked if they could use a container instead, and they said it would cost me an extra dollar. I suggested they consider using proper packaging, like a paper box, if they're selling hot food like this. When I asked to speak with the manager, the man at the counter said he was both the manager and the owner (Brian) , then laughed and giggled with his employee instead of taking my concern seriously. To make things worse, I noticed they charged me for something I didn't buy. When I pointed it out, he laughed again and handed me back the exact amount in cash, even though I had paid by Visa card. He didn't refund the tax I was charged. The whole experience felt careless and unprofessional. I'm sharing this so others can be aware: check your receipt carefully, and don't expect great customer service here. It honestly felt like they didn't care and were trying to take advantage of customers. Definitely will never come back here again! read more

Best Bahn mi ever! The bread is perfect, the filling is on point! Thanks Q. You all really know your sandwiches!

We got the café and 2 sandwiches. One beef and one chicken. Really good sandwiches, we will be sure to try other items on the menu next time. read more

The MKE Yelper gets credit for putting Q Bakery on my radar screen. We were there as a requested stop back on 10/23/18 before I dropped him off at the airport. It was nice to see all the baked goods, menu items, mini-mart items and experience dining onsite. The filling banh-mis and steamed buns are a steal! The regulars definitely knew when the freshly baked bread were ready from the oven for purchase. I returned years later on 5/25/22 after other south end stops. It was quite the contrast due to the pandemic. No onsite seating, patrons and staff remained masked, items were bagged, streamlined products for sale. One thing that has not changed are the lines for fresh bread and banh-mis. The folks that work the production line and cash register have efficiency mastered. The grilled pork banh-mi is definitely recommended! read more

Grab-and-go place for Vietnamese sandwiches, fresh bread and pastry, banh bao (steamed buns), da ua (yogurt), banh pate chaud (meatball puff pastry pies), ca phe (Vietnamese coffee), and sinh to (smoothies). Came on a Saturday late morning and it was pretty busy. Line grew as I waited for my order. You order at the counter for the banh mi and drinks, but make sure to grab the pre-packaged items to go with your order before you do. They serve all the classic meat options for banh mi: grilled pork, pulled chicken, tofu and veggie, xui mai (meatball), classic cold cuts and pate combo, and more. About $5-$6 per sandwich. I ordered one grilled pork and one tofu and veggie. Husband ate the grilled pork and thought it was very good. I haven't tried mine yet but will update this when I do. Though the bread looks a little crunchier than the one from Tony's nearby (ie dry?), it still looks solid and I'm excited to try. The pastries I saw on sale included: raisin rolls, banh bo nuong, taro bun, coconut tart, croissant, taro croissant, even concha (pan dulce). They were churning out fresh bread: sesame baguette, huge french loaves, mini french bread loaves, and regular banh mi sized french bread. Their banh bao were huge. This we ate hot and fresh. Huge meatball with egg and Chinese sausage. Perfectly seasoned meatball. Fluffy thick bread exterior. I also got one of their da ua (Vietnamese yogurt to try). Good, sweet, silky smooth, not too tangy. Good prices, good selection of food. Just cashier at the front was impatient and was kinda of rushing everyone. read more

The best place to get fresh baguettes for the bo ne, curry chicken or banh mi's dishes that you may be serving. They have a fresh bag of 5 baguettes for $3.00. Other Asian stores sells 4 baguettes for $3.50. They have the small ones too, super reasonable price. They open super early in the morning too. They have varieties of banh mi's. Haven't had a chance to try it but it looks delicious. read more

Sometimes you have to wait but for their prices there is nothing better. Food taste great.

These aren't your typical croissants (they're more like bear claw consistency than flaky and buttery) so as soon as that expectation is out of your mind you'll be able to enjoy what Q has to offer. I've had almond, cinnamon, and taro croissants here. The pastry is soft and not too sweet--my first bite of taro actually had me thinking it was more savory (it isn't) because the bread itself is just not overly sweet. It's delicious, and perfectly accompanies the filling in ratio and taste. You also can't beat the price at only 2 or 2.50 each. I love that they have canned bubble tea and ramune, too. I really should branch out and try a sandwich (American or bahn mi) or their other wall of baked goods. They also offer tons of packaged snacks and even some frozen/refrigerated items. Check out is fast and polite and I'm always impressed by how many little elderly ladies they have working seamlessly behind the counter all at once. read more

If you're around South Seattle and craving a banh mi aka Vietnamese sandwich, stop by Q Bakery for a variety of protein stuffed or plain baguettes baked freshly right out of their onsite oven at reasonable prices. Service is quick with multiple lines serving the banh mi making / deli serving and paying stations. Credit cards accepted with minimum $10 purchase. Store is spacious with ample parking right in front. I normally order the simple banh mi cha lua (includes pate) or banh mi dac biet. Heard good things about the tofu as well. I like to order one or two every time I am on my way to the airport during meal times. read more

This is my go-to place for excellent bahn mi sandwiches. Having their own bread bakery is a plus. However I had a chicken bahn mi that was made with day old bread. It was dry and tasted stale. A huge disappointment. This happened in the past but I let it go. Your fresh bread makes the bahn mi tastes so good and special. Please don't cut corners by using old bread. read more

When I want freshly baked bread, this is where I go. They also make great Vietnamese sandwiches and hum bao as well. The only thing about this place that could use improvement is that they would greatly benefit from having an effective ordering system. It gets really busy and sometimes the long wait could be irritating. read more

We have been coming here for years, and come very very often. Affordable delicious banh mi, the baguettes are baked fresh in house. Grilled pork is our go to order, an 8 inch banh mi is $6.25 now. It can get pretty busy during the lunch rush. They also sell their baguettes separately and plenty of other fresh bakery items and snacks. read more

This seems to be the spot for you to get bags of fresh baguettes. Once you enter this place, you can smell the fresh bread and see lines of people buying bags of the baguette. I had fomo and had to buy one as well as their banh mi. The baguette definitely was worth it. The banh mi was good, but I felt could use a little more seasoning to it. read more

Came in looking for bánh bò nướng (Vietnamese Honeycomb Cake) since no other Vietnamese delis in the area had any, this was sort of a last resort/effort. They had some fresh ones on the counter, the tray was still warm. The cake wasn't as light as I had been hoping but it was still good, strong coconut/pandan flavors and the cake had a good spring to it. The bánh tiêu (type of Vietnamese donut) was fresh and still warm. It was still light and airy even hours after purchasing. I surprisingly liked it more than the bánh bò nướng. It had a subtle flavor and wasn't too greasy. Also, if you've never eaten it this way, definitely cut a slice of the bánh bò nướng and sandwich it between the bánh tiêu, game changer! Service was quick and they were super busy! Everyone comes here to buy bread! They sell 4 banh mi loaves for $4.50, mega deal. read more

Amazing bread. Amazing sandwiches. There isn't anything more to say about it. Oh, If you take the sandwiches home, pop em in the microwave for 30 seconds, then drop some laughing cow and an fried egg on top and stick that in a George foreman for a bit..... *Chefs kiss* Reminds me of the bahm mi's in Hoi An. read more
