Saigon Breadfast seriously surprised me. This is easily one of the best banh mi spots in the Bay Area and honestly I'd put it above a lot of places in SoCal too. My wife is from Vietnam and she approved, which says everything. The bread is the star. Fresh baked, pillowy soft on the inside with a light crunch on the outside. It does not shred your mouth like some places do. It's actually very close to what you get in Vietnam, which is rare out here. The pork is fragrant and clean tasting, not gamy at all. You can tell they care about quality. The overall sandwich just hits right. Only a couple things to improve. The pate was a bit runny and the grilled pork didn't really taste grilled, more like it was cooked on a flat top. Fix that and this place is top tier across the board. A huge plus is the outdoor table and fantastic customer service they greet you as soon as you enter. Still, really solid spot. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

4/14/2026 Saigon Breadfast 123 E El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94040 This is a new place replacing the Sandwich Spot, next to the Walgreens. Parking at the Mountain View Shopping Center is plentiful. I went there for a take home Banh Mi on an early Tuesday evening. I was the only customer there and I ordered the 6. Saigon's Signature from the menu board at the pay counter. Which was ready quickly. The interior has a few tables and a long bench and table for dining. It's new, modern and clean. The menu is mostly Banh Mi sandwiches and sweet drinks. My sandwich was well constructed with bread with a crunchy crust and soft inside, generous amounts of protein, fresh pickles and crunchy cucumber slices. There was nothing memorable about the flavor profile, probably to make it suitable for the American sub sandwich palate. My smaller size was very filling and I saved half for later. I am not a fan of sandwiches in general but their Banh Mi is good so give them a try. May repeat. read more

First thing you see when you walk in is their cute mural and photo back drop! You can either order at the front or on the kiosk. Service was quick and my snacks/drinks came out in less than 7 min. I ordered the patechaud, the coconut cloud coffee, and the white Vietnamese coffee. You can customize the sweetness, ice level, and type of milk in your drink. I usually like my coffees more creamy and sweet so that's what I asked for. Their drinks were good but I wish the coconut cloud had more of a coconut taste to it. It was very subtle. Overall, I would come again. I want to try their banh mi and their popcorn chicken next time! read more

Update: went back again with a friend for their egg coffee - it was too bitter for me this time (my fiance liked it, but he's more of coffee drinker than I am). Not sure why they changed the default sweetness, but I'll have to make sure that I indicate the sweetness next time. The banh mi was good as always. read more

The reviews of Saigon Breadfast caught my attention, so had to give them a try since I was in the area. Arrived at around 10:30am and was greeted upon entering. Decided to go with the Saigon's Signature. There's the regular and then there's the large. For $3 more I went with the large - figured I could share the other half with the hubs. Then realized they had a large sandwich and choice of drink combo special - save a couple of $$$ by going with the combo. After asking for recommendations, went with the Egg Foam coffee. The coffee was a bit more bitter than I was expecting - probably wouldn't order that again. As for the sandwich, it was BIG. The bread was light and easy to bite through. I think I was expecting more flavor with all the ingredients added to the sandwich. More like 3.5 starts; although, when in the area, I'd go again and try a different item. read more

I dropped by for lunch around 1:45, and it wasn't too busy. I got the meal deal with #7 Vegetarian Sandwich and a Strawberry Lychee drink. I asked the person at the front to confirm that there aren't any non-vegan ingredients in the sandwich. The menu shows tofu, cilantro, vinegar carrot, vinegar radish, cucumber, jalapeños, and soy bean sauce, so it doesn't seem non-vegan, but I wanted to be sure. She seemed confused about what vegan means, so I explained that we don't consume dairy, eggs, or any other animal products, and she confirmed it would be fine. So, I ordered it without cilantro. The sandwich was pretty big for a size small. The bread was crusty and it had a lot of tofu and carrots. The tofu was very wet, like there was a puddle of liquid that dripped from the sandwich. I wish it had been more veggie-focused, like I was craving more cucumber, radish, and maybe even mushrooms. The drink was good, it had two pieces of lychee fruit, which I loved. I ordered 25% sweetness, but it was sweeter than expected. I would order it again but ask for 0% sweetness if possible. Although the interior is very cute and I liked the vibe, I've had better vegan banh mi's, so I don't think I would go out of my way to eat here again. read more

The banh mi is good for the peninsula but not as good as the stops in San Jose. We tried both the Saigon special which is the cold cut and the grilled pork and the Vietnamese coffee. The cold cut was good, fresh, and the meats had a stronger essence of five spice probably more than I'm used to. Good but different. The grilled pork was missing the char essence that you get from the San jose shops. It was okay. The pickled veggies could use more tang, but the bread was perfect. It was soft but crunchy and not too bready or heavy! The coffee was pricy at $7ish but strong! You can order from the kiosk and wait. Plenty of seating and clean inside. I'd get the cold cut sandwich again, probably not the pork. read more

It's great to have a banh mi option in Mountain View, even if it's pricier than the SJ/Sunnyvale counterparts. The grilled pork banh mi was decent, but the meat was a little dry and lacked a smoky char. Small was enough to satisfy me, but I opted to get a large the second time I went. The coffee is strong, though the egg foam was much thicker than I've had elsewhere, which wasn't quite to my taste. Grab the combo (large banh mi and drink of your choice) to save a few bucks! 3.5 stars, but rounded to 4. read more

Im supper glad that finally a legit banh mi spot is open in the area. Ambiance is nice and clean with lots of tables, cute decor. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The banh mi and all drinks are so bombbbb. The combo deal is such a steal because banh mi are loaded and drinks are even better than some branded boba shops. PSA: the #8 is "SEASONING" pork belly aka the reddish saigon jambon in the banh mi, not "ROASTED" or heo quay. Keep that in mind when you order. It was still very good but i couldnt finish the whole banh mi with just that jambon. It's better paired with head cheese and chả. Highly recommend the #6. Menu also carries lots of viet small bites: cha gio, pate chaud etc Will def come back for more and recommend to friends and family ! read more

3.5 stars maybe 4 - Bread was very soft! I had the veggie sandwich and it was pretty good the vegan meat was really unique in texture in a good way but I think the soy sauce was wayyy too sweet for my taste I also got an egg coffee which was really strong and a bit more bitter than I expected - again not really my taste. Overall food was good and filling but maybe a little not my palette. Inside was very cute ! read more

I had a bahn mi craving and decided to look for a nearby spot that I could also do some work at. I ordered the grilled pork bahn mi with extra veggies. The bread had a nice crunch on the outside and the filling had a nice balance of savory pork and the fresh veggies. The staff were friendly and this spot has free WiFi which was great for me to get some work done as well. There's seating so definitely a place to hang out for a bit. read more

Saigon Breadfast - Grilled Pork - Sandwiches Near Me - Mountain View, California

A decent banh mi place and great addition to the peninsula. I used to live in Milpitas and definitely miss the proximity to fresh, authentic, cheap banh mi. I came here on a weekend with a few friends after a hike. We were able to take advantage of their buy 4 get 1 free deal, so large sandwiches came out to about $10 each. We ended up all ordering the combination. It took some time for the sandwiches to be ready (~20 minutes). The sandwiches are packaged nicely with the regular paper wrapping plus an extra paper bag on the outside, so they should travel well without making a mess. However we were eating there, and they have a decent number of tables available inside and right outside the storefront. Flavor-wise, the sandwich was okay. The portion of meat is generous, but I wish there were more veggies (cilantro, cucumber, jalapenos), and the pickled veggies had some more sweetness. The meat was also a bit too cold, like it had come out of the fridge recently, which kind of threw off the sandwich. The pate could also be a bit richer or more umami. Bread was quite tasty and fresh. Overall it was fair in terms of flavor, but the portion made up for it. They have a wide variety of drinks as well, and I'd like to try the avocado shake next time. read more

We ordered a large and a small sandwich but realized we actually got two smalls, with toppings that were incorrect. For example, on the small sandwich, I asked for no cilantro and no jalapeños but got both. The chicken is slightly dry but it is a good price so I'd probably go back since it's affordable. read more

This is a new Banh Mi spot in Mountain View. In general, spots such as these do not survive or do well. It might be due to their pricing being a bit high compared to what you can get in San Jose. However, we're in Mountain View and I am hoping they do well. Their #8 sandwich was both filling and good tasting. Mind you, I did order the large version. I would say the carrots, etc. need a bit more of a vinegar/pickling taste. I was initially going to order their #1 Grilled Pork sandwich but I wanted pate in it. I could not tell from their menu if they allowed add-ons and I did not ask the cashier. The next time I am here, I will try one of their boba drinks. read more

So happy that they finally opened! Saw this relatively new place on our way to groceries and decided to give it a try! They specialized in Vietnames coffees, banh mihs and pate chauds. They had lots of sweet coffee options but we decided to only focus on food today. We got their large special banh mih and a pate chaud. Even though we got it to go, we decided to sit down as they had a small area for eating in. The pate chaud was nicely packed and was warm when they brought it out. It wasn't greasy and tasted fresh and appetizing. Their banh mih was our favourite - it came out warm and the bread tasted fresh. The butter they used, along with the hams and meats, were a great pairing. My boyfriend even said it was the first banh mih he actually liked in the Bay Area! Do note that the banh mih does contain jalapeno and it was preeeeetty spicy. read more

This place is so cute and cozy! Order thru kiosk. Was quickly greeted. It says if you pay in cash then order at the register. Small chicken was 8.75, with extra veggies. Bread was perfection!! Crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft inside. It came with shredded chicken. Flavor was good. They has some made spring tolls on the counter to purchase as well. Option of small and large size bread. Small was plenty and filling. Plenty of parking. Shared parking in a shopping plaza. Came right before lunch and nothing was on display. No wait. Food comes out made to order with fresh ingredients Cant wait to come back to try other banh mi and drinks. read more

This cute spot has potential! The decor is well done and the menu is appealing, especially the drink menu. I ordered a pork banh mi and a salted Vietnamese coffee. The banh mi was underwhelming to me. The pork was nice, but the rest was bland. There was no tangy, pickled flavor to the veggies and I couldn't taste the pate. The coffee was good, though I didn't get much salt flavor and it wasn't very sweet. It was good for me because I usually don't sweeten my coffee much but for those that like it sweet it may not be enough. Service is straightforward. Order from the kiosk and pick up at the counter. Polite, no frills. Looking forward to returning for more drinks since the location is so convenient for me. read more

I was on a banh mi kick today and saw that this place had recently opened up. The bread is soooo good. Perfectly crispy on the outside but not too hard, and soft and pillowy on the inside. We ordered the Saigon special and beef banh mi. Both the fillings were tasty. I'm not sure if the pate and mayonnaise are made in house, but it was tasty and complimented the cold cuts well in the Saigon special. I also ordered the Vietnamese milk tea, which is more light in terms of caffeine and sweetness, which was perfect for the early afternoon. The lady at the cashier was so nice. The inside feels very clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back to try different drinks and sandwiches! read more

4.5/5 The Banh mi is good. Nice layer of pate. Bread is super fresh. It's about as good as Pho to chau in downtown Mountain View. It is good that we have a new solid option for banh mi. 4.0/5: The egg foam coffee is good: the egg foam part is excellent. But the actual coffee is not dark/strong enoungh. It's about as good as the version at Robu coffee down the street. The gold standard for egg coffee is Pho Ha Noi or Cafes Quan. read more

Saigon Breadfast - Pork banh mi (small, $8.75), and egg foam coffee $7.25 - Sandwiches Near Me - Mountain View, California

So excited to have a new banh mi spot to take my lunch breaks in Mountain View! At the time of writing this, they had been open for a few days. The interior is super cute and cozy with lots of natural touches. I love the little moped and bread display corner, it gives me the feeling of grabbing a morning baguette at a market in Vietnam! I can definitely see myself catching up with friends here or enjoying a coffee while getting some work done. The staff are pleasant and patient, and my order came out in less than 10 minutes. I got a small Saigon's Signature, which was actually much larger than I was expecting, and it really satisfied the banh mi craving. The bread is crispy and thin, softened by yummy layers of pate and butter (more on the american mayo side than viet mayo) and generous portions of pork roll, ham, and steamed pork belly. The daikon tasted a little more pickled than what I'm used to but I really enjoyed it! Also tried the Egg Foam coffee and she was STRONG. Slightly more on the bitter side but I'm sure that's easily adjustable if you want it more sweet. I've never had egg foam before and I'm glad I tried it here because it was delicious, very creamy and perfectly sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed Saigon Breadfast and even happier about the fact that I won't (always) need to drive all the way to San Jose for good banh mi anymore. I can't wait to try their other combos and drinks! read more

Went here for early lunch and there was zero wait. You can order from tablet but for combo orders, place your order with the cashier. The menu has lots of different varieties of banh mi and I like that they have matcha drinks in addition to Vietnamese coffees. I order the Saigon special which is their version of cold cuts with the usual pate, cucumber, cilantro, pickled veggies. I asked for no jalapeno and also got a matcha mango drink. They have alternate milk options (almond, oat)! Overall I loved the food here. The bread tastes very fresh with a perfect crust and soft fluffy interior. They give you a generous amount of meat and veggie toppings. I looked that they slice their cucumbers super thin. I've been to places where they put quartered cucumbers and it's just too much. The matcha drink was also very tasty and I like you can modify sweetness level. There's plenty of seating inside and a comfy bench to hangout and get work done or meet with friends. I'll be back again soon. read more

Rounding up, as they are a new business and I've only tried their banh mi once. My partner and I split a BBQ pork banh mi and the classic Vietnamese cold cut sandwich with pate. Of the two, the pork was our favorite. Good bread (and bread can be purchased separately to make your own sandwiches!) and appropriate ratios of meat to pickled veggies. The fillings themselves were not as good as other banh mi places I've tried, though. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Casual, clean atmosphere. I would definitely come back and try more varieties. I'm happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Very nice staff, huge portions for the price. The grilled pork banh mi had plenty of meat. However, I found the meat a bit underseasoned and bland. The baguette was more of a thicker roll than is typically used for banh mi, and I thought it was a bit doughy. read more

Omg. Finally a good banh mi place on the (mid/lower) peninsula! As a Vietnamese girlie I am VERY pleased with how tasty, friendly and well-priced Saigon Breadfast is. The pate is very authentic and delicious. The bread is perfection; not too much "filling" so that the banh mi fillings--generous portions of meat, crisp and fresh veggies--can really shine. And the bread exterior provides a nice crunch without tearing up the roof your mouth. Got the special and seasoned pork belly and both were great. Vietnamese ice coffee to wash it down was *chefs kiss*. This place is new, conveniently located and family-run and it shows through the quality of the products and warmth of service. Bathroom is super clean too. I'll definitely be a regular. Next time I will try some of their snacks as well (they have popcorn chicken, fries, corndogs etc). read more

This is my new favorite banh mi spot!! Tried their Special (combo) banh mi and the grilled pork. The Special was the star - the flavors of the pate, cold cuts and their mayo was perfectly balanced. And the bread was fluffy and light inside, with a nice crust that didn't cut my mouth. They had a buy 4 get 1 free deal, which made them quite reasonable for the large size. Very nice service and they have some tables inside if you want to dine in. I can't wait to go back! read more

Tried a bánh mì today and wow -- so good I forgot to take photos . The bread was perfectly crispy, the fillings were fresh and flavorful, and everything just worked together so well. I love their meal combo and the small is definitely filling ! Their pate pastry and cheese cord dog were also delicious! Definitely one of those meals you enjoy too much to even think about your phone. 10/10 would get again. read more

this might be my favorite banh mi place in the south bay due to the quality of ingredients, cleanliness, and food prep standards. I feel like a lot of other places aren't really clean whether it's like using same gloves for cashier and making food. The service is great, too. read more

My kiddo loved the crispy, fresh bread. F O O D - Grilled pork - this was the tastiest sandwich we had at Saigon Breadfast. - Dac Viet and the pork belly were delicious, but pretty standard imo for banh mi compared to OC. Overall it was good, but when they get their bearings, I'd challenge Saigon Breadfast to find their X factor that makes them different from other stores beyond fresh bread. D R I N K S - Mango matcha was an interesting combo, but tasted great and wasn't too overpowering. There was a lot of ice in both of our drinks though. A M B I A N C E I liked the modern look of this place. It felt clean. Walking to the bathroom, you could see some of the kitchen operations and freshly cooked bread, so that was cool. read more

I came for lunch with my fiance on a weekday afternoon. We originally wanted to get coffee but decided to get their food instead. The inside of their store has 10 tables. I could tell a lot of people took the food to go. They seem to make the bread themselves (they also sell their bread). We ordered Salted Coffee and the Saigon Signature. Coffee: The salted coffee was AMAZING. The cream is sooo good and the sugar level was just right. Sandwich: Honestly this is why I couldn't give this place 5*. The meat and sandwich both felt standard to me. I think the banh mi wasn't fresh enough (consistent with other baguette I've had, but some San Jose bread was way warmer and softer). That aside I'd definitely come again and I can recommend them! read more

Ordered DoorDash to the office. I got the large grilled pork sandwich and drink combo with the veges on the side. The bread wasn't crunchy at all and quite soft for a baguette. This sandwich didn't have any pate or butter which is supposed to be normal for all banh mi but I guess they only put it in the combo sandwich. Without the pate and butter it really lacked that umami kick. As a viet guy I'm kind of disappointed. I wasn't expecting a Duc Huong sandwich but dang. I got the dirty matcha which is their strawberry matcha latte and it was okay. I don't know if I'd reorder from this place again. read more

Stopped by while I was in the Mountain View area and decided to try this place after seeing it on Yelp. I usually go to Duoc Huong in San Jose for Vietnamese sandwiches, so I was curious to see how this spot compared. I told the gentleman at the register it was my first time and he was really welcoming. He recommended the Saigon sandwich and a cloud coffee. I definitely needed the coffee because the time change completely messed up my sleep. I ordered the large sandwich since I was craving something filling and it did not disappoint. The bread was fresh and crispy and the sandwich had a really good balance of flavors. The cloud coffee was smooth, slightly sweet, and the perfect pick me up. Great service and a really solid banh mi. I would definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Saigon Breadfast - Saigon sandwich and cloud coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - Mountain View, California

I'm so excited to see this place open in the neighborhood! It's such a charming, airy café. This place is perfect for grabbing a coffee or boba and settling in to read, study, or catch up with friends. There's plenty of seating, though outlets are a bit limited. I stopped by after 5 PM, and while it wasn't too busy, my sandwiches took a bit longer to come out than expected. I imagine the team is still fine-tuning their workflow with the recent opening, so I don't mind giving them some grace there. I ordered two large grilled chicken sandwiches, both generously filled with chicken and veggies. The chicken itself had more of a shredded rotisserie texture than the traditional lemongrass-marinated style I'm used to at other Vietnamese sandwich spots, but the flavors were still satisfying and fresh. Overall, I'm really happy with my visit and can't wait to come back to try more of their drinks! read more

So excited to have a banh mi shop in this area! I really missed having one in a convenient location to me. - this place felt like 4.5 * - the workers were nice and greeted us - clean, decorated shop with plenty of seats! I can see myself and others working out of here (I didn't check if there was free wifi) - we ordered: cafe xua da and it was strongggg and not too bitter! It could be a little milkier but def sweet as expected. - second item we tried was the grilled pork banh mi. At first bite, we immediately thought the bread was soft inside and the right amount of crunch outside! The baguette itself beats some spots in SJ for me. Now my partner and I felt like the grilled pork was seasoned very differently than what we had in other shops. It was unique, almost like the same flavor as Bo Kho? (vietnamese beef stew). The pork left behind an orange oily sauce inside the bread in which that DID not taste like pate, so we didn't think it was that. The flavor threw us off a bit, it wasn't bad nor was it our favorite. Veggies were fine, would love for them to pack more especially seeing that most banh mis on their menu is $11ish but that's expected for this area. I would come back to try other banh mi, coffees and the pate chaud! read more
