I usually go there to have an authentic classic Vietnamese ice coffee. One of the best in SGV Vietnamese ice coffee. Favorite stronger tasting in coffee beans more than double expresso! Plus the milky tasty n delicious with some kind of eggs condensed milk mixtures... Services was quick n efficient!! Plus they sell a lot of different croissants and Vietnamese Banh Mi Bun!! read more

I started coming to this Mr. Baguette location since it's right across from Kim Ky Noodles so it's been pretty convenient. I typically order their special banh mi (dac biet). To be honest, I think the location in Rosemead is a tad better as their baguettes seem to be more fresh and has a better crunch compared to this one. But the overall banh mi is still solid. There's plenty of parking which is great. read more

It was actually my first time visiting Mr. baguette. I have heard lots of things, but the Lees sandwich has always been right next to me and the closest option. We decided to come to the location since it was my boyfriend's first time trying out these type of sandwiches and we decided to stop by to compare since he had the day before. The sandwich is definitely small smaller and more Mom and pop shop feel, service was quick and people were nice. They do have a decent sandwich if you're craving the style, and was one of the original on what I heard. It's good for a quick cheap bite if you're in the neighborhood, but I was slightly underwhelmed. read more

My favorite is still the Rosemead location but when I'm closer to El Monte, this is usually the place I go instead. Really the review here is the same, This chain confines to be my favorite bahn mi spot. While prices have gone up significantly over the years, the taste remains second to none. My go-to orders are the special and the chicken--both consistently excellent. The meats are high quality, the bread is fresh and bouncy, and the condiments, especially the pâté and mayo, are noticeably better than what you'll find at most other spots. I often buy containers of their mayo and duck pâté to take home and enjoy with my own baguettes. They've also introduced a newer option called the soft baguette, which leans more toward a sweet, dessert-style bread. Nostalgia aside, this place simply doesn't miss when it comes to food. Service is always fast. The ambiance is nothing to brag about and parking is abundant in a plaza, but I'm here to rate the food--and it continues to deliver. read more

I love Mr. Baguette!!! Their baguettes are delicious and I know sometimes it cuts the roof of your mouth when eating their banh mi's. But I always crave Mr baguette. Mainly because their sesame baguette is just delicious! As a nice flavor and the crunchy texture of the baguette really compliments well! Pate and pork loaf with sesame baguette is a hit! Get it with extra meat and that can last 2 meals! Extra pate if you want an extra layer of flavor! read more

Was recommended to try this place because my sister says she liked the banh mis better than the one I usually go to. They have a LOT of options here and I really liked that there were lots of vegan options too. I tried their classic and vegan chicken and both were pretty good. I felt like I preferred to have more pate though but they were good sandwiches. The Pate chaud were also good but my favorite thing about it was the pastry-their pastries and breads were really good. I wouldn't say it's my favorite banh mis though and they're a bit pricier than the one I usually go to. I did love their iced coffee! read more

Didn't realize there was one in El Monte, love how this one is low key meaning alot of open parking! You just never know these days. The aunties there are so nice and friendly. This spot always hits. Prices are good compared to the others, quality is fresh as always. never too busy not like the others so feels like they take their time making the sandwiches. I ordered online which is nice no need to call in and get anything mixed up! read more

I've been coming to Mr. Baguette since I was young and this place still hits the same. I only came in for a quick coffee and raisin pastry and both were reasonably priced and delicious. The banh mi here also hits and we occasionally still buy the full baguette. Happy to see that it's still doing well. read more

I'm not a fan of Vietnamese baguette sandwiches, but this place is conveniently located on my way to work. Compared to another chain bakery, Mr. Baguette's flavors are milder. The other one uses more mayonnaise, tastes sweeter, and offers a wider variety. I'm not a fan of ham, but I tried it once--it had a taste I really couldn't accept, and the texture wasn't good either. They have a combo with three mini baguettes where you can choose three different flavors, which is nice, but I only liked two: the chicken, and the egg with cheese. The clam chowder is pretty average--nothing special or particularly rich. There are only about four or five tables inside. I went early, so it wasn't crowded; most people order takeout. read more

Kimme and the other cashier lady are both very nice and sweet. They know the customer's order/request and very efficient. The quality of their foods is good too. Mr. Baguette El Monte is my #1 choice for Banh mi. read more

Been going there for many years. Always a good asian sandwich. Nice and crunchy bread with soft from the inside.

Great people working and always a pleasure to buy from and suppor them and myself. Plenty of parking and plaza food options, delicious menu. Prices did 2x though the cost of living has also risen so that was a natural change waiting to happen. read more

1 star for the horrible customer service being the reason why because the cashier tried to charge us extra over them running out of bread after we paid already. There wouldn't be an issue if she told us before hand but as someone who works in customer service satisfying the customer should always be number one priority and take accountability over running out of bread. I prefer the location in Monterrey park! read more

Ordered through DoorDash craving a Vietnamese sandwich for lunch, I got the special sandwich and iced coffee. The sandwich was a decent size for the price, really affordable. Honestly it was a good sandwich,perfect amount of meat and veggies. The coffee was great as well, will be ordering from them again! read more

The $10 #3 sandwich tastes terrible. I was there early in the morning. The one off Valley &Walnut Grove is better.

Ordered the Saigon and egg with cha lua. Extra pate on both. The bread is a soft crunch which I like. Hubby loves this place. I like it but I love hue Thai more. :) read more

What a really cute and nice place for banh mi! I had never been here but my fiancé had, and he wanted to go. I got the egg sandwich and he got the house sandwich. I also got a Thai Tea and he got the iced coffee. My god, both were so delicious! That was one of the best Thai teas I had ever had. The banh mi was simple and delicious. The bread on the outside was crunchy but not too crunchy, and the inside was super soft. The Thai tea was not too sweet but really flavorful. My fiancé loved the coffee and the sandwich as well. I also wanted to shout out the service that Dung gave us. She was so friendly and nice. She made sure we got everything we needed. All of the staff that day was so courteous and friendly. read more

First time at this location. Pretty clean. Not a lot of people during lunch time. Fast and friendly service. Fresh sandwiches that were made from fresh baguette. Good place for grabbing a quick bite. read more

Came here to get ingredients for a banh mi board and it was a huge hit! Everyone said it was amazing. There wasn't a single thing left on the board at the end of the party. I got the pork loaf, Saigon bacon, pork pate, and the Vietnamese Mayo. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

I've rated this place before and came back now for a lemongrass beef sandwich. It was very good. The bread is soft in the middle and flaky, crispy on the outside. The beef has so much flavor. With fresh cilantro and carrots it is a treat. High quality and great flavor. The price is a little more than expected but it's so much better than national establishments. read more

My dad and I could barely finish the special sandwich. It is bland, the bread tasted old, and the carrots tastes expired. On top of that, the sandwich is so dry. I would no longer order from Mr. Baguette again. read more

This location is my family's go-to spot for our banh mi needs. The bread here is fresh, but if you eat it the next day, it gets hard as a rock. Seriously. My teeth go through some major trauma just trying to bite through them. The buns with meatball inside are EXTREMELY oily. If you barely touch the buns, you can still see and feel the oil oozing out. The taste itself is a hit or a miss, as well. I have cilantro aversion, so I ask for no cilantro in my banh mi. When I request this, they also take the carrots out, even though I love carrots. I'm assuming it is the language barrier. So, I started asking for the veggies on the side, just in case I don't miss on the carrots, as well. Their jalapenos are extremely hot, so beware! This spot is not the best banh mi joint in the area, but there is foot traffic here. I guess since people are more familiar with Mr. Baguette, they feel more comfortable coming here. read more

Place is clean and my food was made quick. I ordered the #11 Grill Chicken Sandwich. My total came out to $6.38. I would recommend this sandwich. It came with a yellow chili, pickle, and a packet of mustard on the side. Chicken was cut up into small pieces. It was very good. read more

Came today and didn't realize how much marked up the prices were. I understand there's been significant inflation but this is highway robbery. $9 for a grilled pork banh mi and $6 for an ice coffee. Mediocre taste at best Do yourself a favor and drive down the street to Banh Mi My Tho for better tasting sandwiches at a lower price point. read more

The sandwiches are pretty good. The bread is perfection! But you have to eat it the same day cuz next day it gets hard! I don't have a problem with that cuz it just tells me that they probably don't have a lot of preservatives in there! Parking was fine. The cleanliness was good. I gave four stars cuz the prices seemed steep for a sandwich. The beef sandwich was $10. I could've had a whole meal elsewhere. I'll probably return but not too frequently. read more

Good crunchy and fresh French bread. For one plain French bread 24inch by itself costs $1.25. The longer French bread is 1.99. At other banh mi places sell one long French bread for only $1. Just an FYI. It's tasty here just as any other banh mi place. I usually get "the special" which has several deli meats and pate spread with vegetables. It's good, but the lady Cashier au Le or an Le (her name appeared on my receipt) is a straight out bii***. She has attitude for my first time there. I asked her about the length of the sandwiches because I am getting one for my brother too. She was like he's a boy, he has to get the big one!trust me he will not be full from the regular!! She seemed pissed showing me the comparison of the bread sizes. My co worker told me she's not polite to her either- sold her something without telling you the price. I suggest you stare at the menu and figure out what you want otherwise you have the beast cashier. read more

I really like their sesame seed baguette, my Main reason for coming here. Service was friendly and sandwiches made quickly, not a huge fan of the egg or American style sandwiches but the bahn mi are OK.

I was given the wrong change once by the Latina lady and the receipt said Kim. Wasnt a big deal ezcept she had an attitude. Other than that I prefer Mr Bagutte cuz their meats arent as fatty. I love sesame and their sesame bread make its all taste better than regular has a little somwthibg extra. Their coffee is prettt good too better than Lee's in my opinion not as swwet and tastes like premium roast. Also love their chicken and pork pies its pretty fresh and tastey not too salty. Their flakey pastries butter ratio is good roo not too greasy but has a great taste. Lost 1 star since they are randomly mean in the ams. read more

I mainly go here for that strong iced coffee. It's made differently here than the one on Atlantic Blvd. they usually add the condensed milk first, then add the dark, rich French coffee, but here, it's already pre made. It is a lil pricey at 3.50$, but worth it. Their sandwiches are pretty good, and also pricey. I prefer Bahn mi Che Cali for the sandwiches because they have better deal(buy 2 get 1 free)and you have an option of different bread. The French bread is too rough for me. read more

Many years ago, when Mr. B first opened in Rosemead, I was impressed by the sleek computers and equally slick operations. Naivete no more. $3.50 for a foot long xiu mai (broken meat ball) baguette offering the consistency of wet dog food. $.25 for sesame on baguettes. nearly $2.50 for a cafe sua da. it's time to fight back against the big box banh mi retailers. i don't give a shit they have 7 sandwich "artists", a dedicated "fajita grill" - no joke, that's what the manager told me, an automatic baguette slicer and too many computers to count. for $3.50, can i get some gdamn cilantro and cucumber slices up in here? and more than 1 slice of jalapeno? see pix for evidence: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pcr9sjdP1aLuEV2JPv017Q?select=WsR3cssFGp0HO2thw8Lf7Q like KD says in this thread: http://www.yelp.com/topic/long-beach-cilantro-love-it-or-hate-it "without cilantro... banh mi isn't the same".

Knock knock! Who's there? Banh! Banh who? Banh Mi! Food: Chicken Banh Mi Price: $4.75 Ratings: Super cheap for what it is! I loved the cashier, Sandy! She was super nice and cheerful when I ordered! I got the chicken banh mi, which include daikon, sour carrots, chicken, cilantro, and jalapeño. Warning, it is pretty spicy! The chicken could've been more fresh, because it didn't feel that warm : / but I liked their bread. Crunchy and crispy on the outside. There is parking shares amongst the structure! read more

When you're craving a banh mi sandwich, you will go the distance to get one. My visit involved this craving as I headed to Mr.Baguette. This place was recommended by a chef I know for a pretty good banh mi sandwich. I thought, "Well if he's a chef, he should know what he's talking about." Walking into this location, it was very empty. Surprising. It was only early evening, but no one was in there. I saw the cook in the back and the register lady comes up to the register and takes my order. I ask her questions about the different types of Ga Banh Mi and she looked confused. She had an accent, so I decided to let it go and order by the look of the pictures. I went for the grilled chicken. It came with pickled shredded carrots. It was a bit on the salty side, but was a footlong sandwich, so it was filling. I also tried their *strong* iced coffee. Whew...STRONG! So in all, a good place to get your banh mi. But if you want to customize your sandwich in any way, you better learn some Vietnamese or just stick with a regular combo. read more

I love there food, but the staff is horrible. They never smile and when you ask for condiments they get upset about it. I asked them from extra mustard because I had 3 sandwiches and they gave me 3 like really that's extra?

In spite of some of the negative reviews, I thought this place was pretty good. I went with the #1 Special which was ham, garlic sausage, pork head meat, pate and salad on a baguette. Throw on some fresh jalepeno peppers for that extra kick. Overall, I though it tasted pretty damned good. With a bottled water, a foot long baguette, it came out to less than $5. Better than any deals you'll get at Subway or any other sandwich shop. read more
