About N.Tran Bakery

This no-nonsense Chapel Street counter turns out crusty, generously stuffed Vietnamese rolls alongside classic bakery staples with blistering speed. Midday crowds form fast for the crackling pork bánh mì, loaded with paté, pickled vegetables, and plenty of chilli. Mornings take an unexpected turn—patrons line up for bacon and egg rolls built inside the same crusty French baguettes, hit with salt, pepper, and mayo alongside an espresso. For something lighter, vermicelli bowls arrive piled with grilled pork and crisp greens, while warm meat pies and sausage rolls wait quietly in the hot case.

  • Crisp Bánh Mì: Crusty baguettes stuffed generously with crackling pork, BBQ chicken, or tofu with paté and fresh herbs.
  • Morning Baguette Rolls: Bacon and fried egg tucked into a French baguette roll finished with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise.
  • Bakery Classics & Bowls: Traditional meat pies, sausage rolls, and pasties served alongside fresh vermicelli noodle bowls.

  • Signature Baguette Breakfast Rolls with SPM

    Morning patrons grab bacon and egg breakfast rolls made uniquely on crusty French baguette bread seasoned with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise.

    Not only do these guys do a great bahn mi, but their breakfast roll with bacon and egg are equally as good. Just make sure you always ask for SPM - Salt, Pepper and Mayonaise. It's their trademark when it comes to their brekky rolls.

  • Exceptional Everyday Value and Generous Servings

    Guests feel exceptional value receiving hearty, freshly assembled sandwiches with high-quality ingredients at accessible takeaway prices.

    for me, that is a very good price, especially for the amount and quality of food/service you receive.
