This place is a GEM! Their service is A1, they're prompt & attentive. Their bubble tea is really good and flavorful. My usuals are: Thai ice tea, taro, coconut or the mango green tea. I switch between milk tea or slushie. I must say, their bread isn't as crusty as most banh mi places but I think that's what makes them stand out. It's a little softer but if u need that extra crunch, ask for it to be toasted AFTER it's made as well. They also have other goods like Shrimp rolls, egg rolls and crb rangoons! U can buy those right from the display case. The food I always fresh! read more

My wife and I decided to make a pit stop here while we were in the area. We ordered the Chicken, Beef and Roasted Pork Bahn Mi as well as the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. We've been here many times and it was good, but were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is better!! In my experience, restaurants are generally broken down into 3 categories as time passes: maintain quality, lower quality and improve their quality. Most are in the maintain quality camp, but I will give them a round of applause for getting better. The food: the Bahn Mi bread had a crispy exterior while having a soft center. The veggies were super fresh and flavorful. Everything came together perfectly! The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was bold, sweet and very craveworthy. The staff were very nice and theres definitely room to eat inside, but I wanted to take these back home so I can make an absolute beautiful mess of the crispy, flakey Bahn Mi Bread. This spot used to be a 3 stars, but amped up to a 5!!!!! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT read more

Tip: call ahead to order! They were completely sold out of sandwiches when my friend and I arrived so didn't get to try the food- must be good! Cute small shop and the workers were super friendly and answered all of my questions about the menu- can't wait to actually try the food- will definitely call ahead next time! read more

Banh Mi & Bubble Tea has been on my to go list for a while now. I stopped by on Sunday around 11:00am. There is plenty of parking spots right in front. The menu consists of banh mi sandwiches, bubble tea, and some small bites. A fridge full of drinks is by the order counter. There are only 3 tables with 4 seats inside. I ordered the Roasted Pork Sandwich ($7.50) Level 1 which comes with jalapeños. Level 0 is mild and Level 2 is Thai chili. I really enjoyed the roasted pork sandwich. It was very fresh and flavorful. The bread was crispy and it held everything really well together. My husband had the Special Combo Sandwich ($7.50), ube latte with tapioca pearls boba ($5.00), and crab rangoon ($1.00). The Special Combo Sandwich is a classic Banh Mi with cold cut ham, pork, chicken liver pate, mayonnaise, pickled daikon and carrots, fresh cucumber, black pepper, green chili and cilantro. The crab rangoon was bigger than other crab rangoons we've seen before. The ube latte came in a really cute cat cup. He enjoyed everything. Staff were very friendly and our food took about 10 minutes for the food to be ready. There is a 3.0% credit card surcharge. Prices are definitely affordable. I really enjoy having banh mi so I am very happy that Banh Mi & Bubble Tea is in Cranston, RI. read more

I took another (two) visits to the shop last week. The first day, I had a delicious thai tea with boba + jelly of some sort. Great treat. Tried the roasted pork sandwich and took it to Roger Williams Park to eat. This was a truly incredible dinner... I was so satisfied and happy to appreciate such a great meal. So delicious... it healed me haha. The next day I tried the pork floss. So good! A little fishy tasting, so if that turns you off, I'd stick to a different preparation of your sandwich. read more

A recurring favorite of ours. The pickled veggies are fresh, and the meats are well seasoned. We enjoy the grilled shredded chicken, grilled pork strips, and vegetarian banh mis. The vegetarian banh mi isn't the typically slice of tofu - they have a mix of crispy tofu skin and bean curds that add some nice texture and crunch to the sandwich. The place is clean and service is nice. If you have a big party or are exceptionally hungry, then they usually have the promo of buy 5 sandwiches, get 1 free! It's already affordable as is, but why not get an additional deal to satisfy your cravings?! Highly recommend! read more

Banh Mi & Bubble Tea - Vegetarian Banh Mi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Solid banh mi. My favorite is the grilled chicken and the Vietnamese meatball. The bread is really crunchy yet soft inside. The vegetables are fresh but not the traditional pickled kind which is a bit disappointing. I also think they could be a bit more generous with the fillings. That said it's very affordable! Sandwiches are between 6 and 8 dollars. Pro tip: Avoid going around 2pm on weekdays as you will be inundated with high school students from the school next door ordering bubble tea. read more

First time here and the Banh Bao is good! Banh mi dac biet so flavorful! Definitely recommend.

Banh Mi with grilled pork was amazing!! Excellent egg rolls and crab Rangoon! Lechee tea perfect- Would definitely come back! Thank you!!

Great banh mi place. Best in RI. Found this place when I was craving for banh mi since I missed banh mi at Ba Le, in Dorchester, MA. Not many options for authentic banh mi place in RI and i've tried them all but came to conclusion that this is the best so far in RI. Have been here many times and tried almost all of their menu except different types of bubble tea. My favorite is white ham and pate banh mi and Vietnamese style egg rolls. Their grilled pork or beef are also great if you do not prefer pate or cold cuts. They also provide options for spicy if you like spicy. Their bubble tea is okay I've had better ones from places that specialize in bubble tea only. Downside is that sometimes their sides have inconsistencies. Their egg rolls may be crispy and sometimes not and their pork bun is not fully cooked sometimes and can feel the dough still soft. Place is also pretty small so usually it's best to pick up. It can get crowded sometimes when a-lot of people come in. Overall it's a solid place and I do come back here time to time if I want banh mi. Side note: they offer stamp card for ordering and will give you a free bubble tea after 10 orders. read more

We stopped by here since we were already around Cranston and were craving boba. I ended up actually getting an avocado smoothie, since not many places make it. The smoothie was delicious and tasted just like avocado smoothies I've had when I was a child. If you haven't tried one before, it's creamy and rich, and would definitely recommend trying! My friend also got a banh mi, which she said she enjoyed a lot! read more

I've been coming to this banh mi place for almost four years, and the taste has never changed! They have three tables for seating. Their banh mi and mango slush are consistently excellent. I get banh mi from here about once a month, and the prices are great. They only increased their banh mi prices by a dollar this year, which is very reasonable. I love the service here. It gets really busy around lunchtime on weekends, but even then, my longest wait has only been 10-15 minutes. read more

The food was so amazing. Service was super fast. The Decorations and Ambiance was so organized.

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for a while now. I usually give five stars to businesses that I visit multiple times and that I want to keep succeeding! Anyways, it's a sort of hole in the wall shop. There are few tables to sit inside. It has a homely vibe which is a good thing. The bubble tea/boba drinks are good! Basic, not super fancy, which is good because it's not wholly a boba shop. The tastes of the milk tea and Thai tea bobas are what they should taste like and the tapioca balls are generally good. If you like coffee and haven't tried it, you definitely should get the Vietnamese iced coffee. I might be biased because I grew up with it, but no coffee in life tastes as strong and yet deliciously sweet as Vietnamese coffee. This place nails it. We also got the special (dac biet) banh mi (with jalapeños because I am a spicy girl). It tastes great, and as expected! All in all it's reminiscent of all the banh mi shops I've spent a chunk of my childhood in. read more

This is a nice lil spot hidden in Cranston. I've driven by it so many times and didn't even notice it. So glad I finally did! This place is a hidden gem with great sandwiches and apps and iced coffee and tea! The sandwiches are made with care and the flavors are on point. I had the grilled steak and it was delicious the pickled veg goes so well with the meat and the bread is the perfect vessel for it all. The iced coffee was delicious! And the prices are very reasonable for an affordable delicious meal you should check this place out! read more

Just like for most others here, this is a favorite for me. Don't expect sweetness of service here as it is primarily a to-go place but do expect yummy treats and sandwiches. I go there to get my fill of steamed bun (this meatball version with egg is as close to the authentic kind as you can get in Asia), nime chow (can't beat the price for the quality and quantity), sesame balls, lot (spring rolls) and occasionally, give in to the sugary-milky goodness of a taro boba. read more

We love Banh Mi & Bubble Tea! The sandwiches are a bit pricey but given the state of the economy, it's understandable. I ordered 10+ banh mi's for my birthday celebration and everyone looooooved them. The bread to filling ratio is 1:1.5 -- every bite explodes with flavor from your selected meat, pickled veggies, toasted bread drizzled with a light savory sauce. The folks who work there are so sweet and so accommodating. I love the little anime tidbits inside the shop. read more

I think it's time to update my review. The food has improved since their opening. I used to not be too enthralled with their pork bun because of the ratio of ingredients being off but now, it's something I would definitely buy again. The texture of the bread for the banh mi has improved. It has a little more chew to it while maintaining the light crispness. Try the Vietnamese iced coffee. So good! I called in and ordered ahead. They said it would take 15 minutes which is how long it takes me to get there. Food was ready when I arrived. Very nice staff. Most importantly, I love the convenient location. One of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch. read more

Came here for the first time based on a friends recommendation. I ordered 4 large drinks with1 topping and 1 medium with 2 toppings. We also ordered 6 bahn mi. I got 2 grilled chicken, 2 grilled beef, and 2 original cold cut (#23). At this point the bill is $72... what the heck? Drinks were $5 and sandwiches are $6. I can't figure out the math. And they don't give you a receipt after you pay. Not sure if bobas are included or not in the drink price. Ok so the cashier tells me at this point that I can now get a free sandwich. I wish I'd known earlier -- a sandwich earlier to be exact. I order a roast pork bahn mi. I know I have a big order. But I waited over 30 minutes. About 8 people who came after me got their food before mine was ready. Also they took a phone order while preparing my order and the pick up customer got their food before me. Sandwiches were pretty good. No complaints. The roast pork one was the best one and we all took like 1/5 of the sandwich lol. Bread was crusty but not super messy. Good amount of veggies and cilantro. I don't recall any jalapeño on any of the sandwiches. I can only speak for the 2 drinks that I tried. I had the lemon kumquat tea with peach popping bubbles. My son had a lychee milk tea with lychee jelly and peach popping bubbles. It had a perfumy taste which my son cannot tolerate. Mine had a less pronounced perfume taste. Also I think the shape of the cups is not totally compatible with the drink holder. The bottoms are a very rounded dome shape. When they handed me the drink tray (5 drinks- 1 in the middle) 2 of the drinks threatened to fall out before I could even bring it to the table that we are waiting at. Although no one waited as long as I did (while I was there) there was a couple who decided that they waited long enough and they left without ordering. They have other snack foods for sale like spring rolls, egg rolls, red bean sesame balls, pork buns, rainbow jelly dessert drinks, and refrigerated drinks. The dining area has three 4 seated tables. The table were were at had the table pushed all the way to the wall so I don't know how you would fit in. Even if you moved the table back it's very tight with your back to the people at the next table. The seating arrangement might be different once the Christmas tree is taken out. It's using up a large area of free space. Bahn mi 4.25/5 Drinks 2.25/5 Service 2/5 Wait time 1/5 read more

The two guys running the whole thing were so fast and kind! The banh mis are ridiculous! So much flavor packed into this banh mi. It was actually the first I had ever tried but it definitely set the standard that I will compare others to. It's about 30 minutes from where I live but we would make this drive again for these! read more

had the traditional combo banh mi... the mayo had zero flavor. my sister said the exact same thing.

The banh mi was AMAZING! I have a friend from providence who raves about this banh mi to me and it was everything and more. The pork banh mi was so tender and the bread was fresh, crunchy but soft, and perfectly warm. I would love to come back to providence to get this banh mi read more

Solid Banhi Mi Sandwiches at an unbelievable price. If I were in college I would probably live on these. A good portion and a pretty darn good sandwich for the price. I think if they were around $10-12 per sandwich like most places I wouldn't grade it as favorably but $6 I have zero complaints! read more

There are very few places that serve banh mi in Providence, so when I heard about Banh Mi & Bubble Tea, I was excited to try something different from my usual go-to, Asian Bakery and Fast Food. The first time I visited, I ordered the grilled pork sandwich. It was a pretty standard banh mi. I enjoyed the sauce, but something was a little off about the bread. It wasn't as crusty and crunchy as fresh banh mi bread normally is. This past time, I got a strawberry smoothie and the roasted pork sandwich. I often forget that "roasted pork" is synonymous to char siu on the mainland. The smoothie was incredibly sweet, almost medicinally so. The pork was subpar. The fatty portion wasn't tender, it was rubbery. Plus, there was so much green onion packed in there, the sandwich could almost be labelled as spicy... not because of jalapeños, but because of green onions! I really wanted to like Banh Mi & Bubble Tea since it is such a small, homey, and affordable food stop. However, based off of my previous two visits, I'm not necessarily jumping at the opportunity to return. I read in a few different reviews that they do, in fact, serve bún (Vietnamese noodle dish), so if I do ever find myself there again, I will have to try it. read more

First Meal Review Huge Banh Mi sandwich fan here. What's not to like? Crusty bread, pickled veggies and roasted meat. So when I when I'm Yelpin' for lunch after some self-care time with one of Cranston's finest spa and find a new place with "Banh Mi" as the headliner, I am in. First the bread. We tried #30 spicy and #31 . Oh the bread is soft and just perfect for a sandwich, any sandwich really because it held it's integrity despite the sauces and loaded veggies and meat. They can just sell the bread... The veggies were crisp but definitely not much pickle to them and I did not detect my favorite ingredient, daikon, in there. Also they can skip or lighten the spread of the unsalted, super fatty pate/butter that was over generous and over powering. I an not a Boba drinker but they had a variety that would satisfy an aficionado . The young staff was friendly and the place was clean. Slight adjustments to the composition of that sandwich and I would go 5 stars. read more

Banh Mi & Bubble Tea - #30 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Yum! Nothing hits the spot like a fresh sandwich and boba to start your day. I really liked the roasted pork banh mi that I ate. It was made fresh and made right in front of me; the vegetables were fresh and I thought it tasted really nice and light. I have always really liked banh mi; they are a healthier alternative to what we usually think a sandwich consists of. Usually, they contain one type of meat and a bunch of vegetables inside. We also had a pork bun and that was even better! That day, we tried black tea boba and an avocado slush. Not bad at all. The black tea boba was good and more flavorful. The avocado slush was also good, but definitely needed more avocado flavor. I think that this sandwich spot is pretty solid and a semi-healthy way to have lunch. read more

I got Thai milk tea and 2 beef banh mi. Thai milk tea was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet and really hits the spot for something nice and cold during the summer. I saw that they had the brown sugar milk tea, so I might have to go back at some point to try that. The beef banh mi was also quite delicious. The beef wasn't too tough and I enjoyed the green onion adding a kick to the flavor. The sauce on the sandwich was good too. I would love to see a bit more vegetables, but that's a personal preference and it may throw off the current balance of the banh mi. Anyways, definitely a place to check out and support! read more

Yum!! We got the Dac Biet bahn mi, and the vegetarian bahn mi, along with three fried spring rolls, and two bubble teas, FOR UNDER $30, you can't beat that. The family who runs the place is very friendly and fast. The veggie bahn mi has what I think is fried taro as a meat substitute, which I think is genius, and gives it a heartier taste. The dac biet is pate, white ham, and braised pork, also very tasty. I can't wait to come back or come back every week for that matter. Thank you!! read more

I want to start by giving snaps to this business for opening during a pandemic. That is not an easy thing to do, but they make it look easy! I got the bánh mì special, the noodle plate and a large Thai tea with boba and jelly. Everything was outstanding. The bread was fresh and light. The meats, toppings and spreads were so flavorful. Their staff carefully constructed a beautiful bánh mì for me and it looked as good as it tastes. The noodle plate was to die for. Again, a gorgeous presentation backed up by tender meats, pickles veggies and toppings. My tea was so tasty and the mix of jelly/boba is my favorite. The staff is amazing; friend and attentive. Despite masks on and the overwhelming feeling that there is a pandemic going on, you can see and feel their smiles and warmth. I'm looking forward to returning very soon for more. read more
