About Trang Bakery and Cafe

Collingwood locals queue down Smith Street for shatteringly crisp baguettes packed to the brink with juicy roast pork belly and fiery fresh chili. Fast counter staff keep the pace brisk and the energy warm. The pork belly banh mi brings crackling crunch and savoury depth, while the kitchen serves an equally dedicated plant-based lineup—mock duck, mock chicken, and marinated tofu rolls that never cut corners. Counter staff often slip a warm donut or spring roll into your bag alongside a glass of cà phê sữa đá.

  • Crispy Pork Bánh Mì: Crusty baguettes loaded with crackling roast pork belly, grilled chicken, or house special char siu.
  • Dedicated Vegan Lineup: Extensive dedicated plant-based menu featuring mock duck, mock chicken, marinated tofu, and steamed buns.
  • Generous Counter Hospitality: Speedy counter service where staff often tuck complimentary donuts or spring rolls into takeaway bags.
