About T&L - Bakery & Café

Swan Street’s high-gear sandwich hub churns out stuffed bánh mì with blistered crackling, punchy sauces, and zero fuss. Midday queues move at lightning speed, packing rolls full of juicy roast pork, mild liver pâté, and a signature crust of crushed peanuts. Regulars count on the kitchen for plant-based orders too—crisp rolls packed with savoury fried eggplant and mock chicken hold their own alongside the charcuterie. Add fresh chilli, grabbed on the fly before a match, or pair the crunch with an iced Vietnamese coffee.

  • Plant-Based Variety: Dedicated plant-based choices including savoury mock chicken and crispy fried eggplant.
