I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always great food and teas. They have a small space inside and a few chairs outside if you rather sit out there. Everything looks very well cleaned and organized. When I go for food I usually stick to the “The Works Banh Mi” (Pork Sandwich) and it’s always so good. If your not a pork lover their “Grilled Chicken” is also very tasty. As for the Tea I usually either do their Thai Tea or their Taro Tea. On occasion I do a Bao Bun (Pork Dumplings) which like everything else I have mention is great! They have a lot options and I’m sure the rest of their foods are also good give them a try if your in the area.

Yes, please!! Talk about delicious. Plenty to choose from at the counter and in refrigerator cases if you’re in a hurry, but I think it is 100% worth the wait for a hot bao bun. Easily the best I’ve ever had. Extensive boba and other sugarcane drink list. Food as adventurous and tame as you’d like. Plenty of options for everyone in your group. Counter service and a bit tight inside. Lots of outside seating. Plenty of parking. Highest recommendation!! I can’t wait to come back.

The Sugar Cane juice is out of this world, and they give you a good amount for $6. They literally hard press the actual sugar canes right in front of you making it super fresh. The Bahn Mi is probably one of the better Bahn Mis in the area. Super recommend this place!

A taste of the exotic, amazing smoothies and the best fresh bakes bread. You can play it safe or try something very different, but it is all delicious! The staff is welcoming and helpful, the space clean and organized and the prices very reasonable. I highly recommend.

Gave this spot a try the other day and it's definitely a decent spot to check out if you're having a craving for classic Vietnamese fare. Let's start off with the beverages - I was extremely impressed with them. They're of good size, competitively priced, and filled to the brim with flavor. My favorite had to be the Mangonada Smoothie w/ boba. It's made with a lot of chamoy, seasonings, and served with a tamarind straw. When it comes to the food, I do have to say that I was a tad disappointed. I really enjoyed the Korean Beef Bahn Mi, but I definitely found the Pork Belly Bao and the Korean Fried Chicken to be quite lackluster. These two menu items were definitely lacking flavor and were disappointing especially when compared to other Korean fried chicken that I've had recently. You can also find some pre-made items for sale at 545 such as kimchi, sesame balls, and other unique items. The spot also has some indoor seating and a few tables outside. Overall, it's a decent spot where the drinks are the definite highlight. I wish the food items were a tad better, but overall it's a dope spot.

Such a solid spot for Vietnamese coffee, teas, banh mi, and popular desserts/snacks. Love it here but internal space is limited, so this is mainly a grab and go space. Super unique thing is that they have freshly pressed sugar cane juice (nuoc mia). I’m not aware of any other cafe that has this!

This place is amazing! It's so cozy. The service is super friendly and their drinks are just exceptionally the best I've had! I usually go for the passion fruit sugar cane juice which is the perfcet balance of sweet and tart. I don't know much about Vietnamese cuisine, but I feel that this is a great place to explore Vietnamese foods. I can't wait to try more things! WONDERFUL PLACE!

this establishment is located within a plaza loaded with other Asian establishment, perfect plaza to do a food tour. it's small, no tables and only a counter with few seats available. the fresh pressed sugarcane juice was a fantastic surprise, i mixed mine with passionfruit it was very tasty and refreshing. if you don't have time to spare they offer pre-packaged grab and go food options.. tried several items, some of the favorites were the popcorn chicken, the Korean BBQ beef sandwich and Pork sandwich. the bread is phenomenal, soft, crunchy, flaky, it's everything it needs to be! the veggie fillings are fresh & crispy never wilted. the sandwiches could stand to be filled with a bit more, it's skimp. loooooove this place and definitely recommend a visit!

545 Banh Mi Cafe, you've won my heart with your delicious food, quick service, and captivating atmosphere. I've been coming here for ages and I have nothing but kind words. From their classic banh mi sandwiches stuffed with flavorful meats and fresh herbs to a variety of refreshing teas and smoothies that are great pair to the flavorful dishes. Not to mention their ready-made meals which are always fresh and delicious. And let's talk about speed! The staff here is lightning-fast with orders. I swear, you blink, and your food is ready. They're super friendly too, always ready with a smile. It's the perfect spot for a cozy meal or a quick snack, 100% recommend this place and I can't wait to explore more of the menu.

Sandwiches are pretty good here plus they are quickly prepared. Would not recommend other items on the counter and in the fridge. Spring rolls and the vermicelli is just ok but you get what you pay for. The banana cake can use a more coconut sauce which could use some improvement. Overall you come here for the sandwiches.

Food comes out quickly and is consistently good. Their tea is also excellent and they offer fresh sugar cane juice. I do wish they would stuff more ingredients into their Banh mi.

Good food, reasonably priced. Being vegan is difficult to find food options. There's no need to worry. Milk can be substituted with coconut or soy milk. Their spring rolls are tasty.

Very friendly staff and the food was pretty good. Had the lemon grass pork Banh Mi and it was my first banh mi ever and I wasn't disappointed. Chicken rolls were interesting but not bad. And the drinks were arguably the best part. Overall 8.5/10

We went on Wednesday at 1:30PM. You can order at the cashier or via a screen. The screen menu is a bit confusing but overall works well. The place is very small, nearly no seating. We were lucky to have a spot but the place got quickly packed. There is seating outside. It took about 10 minutes to get our food. The sandwich was good but not great, I got the grilled pork Banh Mi. I thought it was too dry and plain. I took a Taro Boba, it was good. I took half sweet but it was still too sweet. Be careful with this :) One thing that I disliked about this place is the amount of trash you generate per meal. The boba is in a plastic cup with a plastic straw. The sandwiches are in a paper and then put into a plastic bag. 😱 They offer a lot of options for food and drinks. Overall I liked it, but it was not amazing and I felt bad about generating so much trash.

We ordered at the Kiosk, so that's very convenient. Dac biet ( Bánh mì) sandwich: thick meats and bread, enough to fill a person. Grilled pork sandwich: the meat is a bit salty but goes wel with the butter and pickled veggies. The bread is thick and toasted just enough, great combo. Papaya salad: papaya salad is one of my favorites, so I had to try it out, and it didn't disappoint me. The sauce was on point, great flavors of sweet soy sauce with mint leaves and peanuts. Sugar cane juice: I added less ice so I could taste the sweetness of the sugarcane and I'm so glad I did, otherwise my drink would have had no flavor. Because it was much more bland compared to all the other sugar cane juice I've had in the past, maybe it's because its 100% juice with sugar added? I'm not sure. We dined in and the place was pretty crowded at the time, but we didn't need to wait long for a table. Self serve water, which is a plus since it is so humid down here.

This place is very tiny and not a great place to hang out. However, they are Boba teas are phenomenal. I’ve tried about six different flavors. My favorite is the avocado smoothie with Boba. You can customize everything with the level of sweetness. I’ve also had a few of their spring rolls, and they were all delicious.
