The short, larger lady has such a terrible attitude, her customer service is subpar, she's condescending, she looks down on people who uses ebt (I literally see it happen!) like how dare you, and she tries to force customers to use cash, like what?! One time, I bought sweet soup, had one bite, it was sour (went bad), came back asked to get a different one, she INSISTED it was sour, and wanted to rip her off $3. THREE DOLLARS ladies and gentlemen. Her attitude is THAT BAD. Food is great, fresh baguettes are great, other people are great, but that short larger lady is so awful I don't even want to set foot there. Literally went back today after many months, she's still there and her attitude has not changed. Guess I'll go find some other deli that doesn't make me feel like trash :/ read more

Banh mi and baguettes are great but food safety practices is questionable. I ordered the vegetarian and cha banh mi(s) only to have food poisoning. Sigh, sad part is I'd go back because it tasted delicious and their pandan banh bo is 8/10. Please give me 2 free banh mi(s) and pandan banh bo for my troubles as you've earned a loyal customer. ‍ read more

I called to let them know their fried chicken wings are too salty. But instead of sorry or anything like that, she said that how she got them from CA. So????? And ??? Really??? read more

Q Bakery - Uh yes?? - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Bahn Mi bread was fresh and yummy but there was hardly any meat inside the sandwich. It was terrible to not be able to taste the meat, there was just so little of it. This was our 1st time stopping here. Likely wont go back again. read more

People very unpleasant especially close to 5. Would me nice to have someone who can understand a regular conversation. asking a question and this lady tried to kick me out. will never go back. read more

The bread is amazing no doubt, however the business lacks structure and discipline. There is no one that takes charge to make sure you get what you payed for or who is in line or where to go to order. I payed for 12 bahn mi bread and waited for 30min while I watched people come in and buy some that the lady had aside. It seemed that if you could speak Vietnamese it was easier to communicate with the staff to get what you want. read more

Lost a loyal customer. I would skip this place and go to Tony's. RUDE customer service. I've been going to Q every week for the last few years. Have always had a pleasant experience with Muoimach at the front. She was such a sweetheart. Since Loan Dan has been at the front for the past month or so, she has been extremely rude and I've observed always nice to just the white customers. Not recommending this place anymore either. read more

I've been to practically every Vietnamese deli in the Seattle area, and this is the cleanest one of them all. Here are a few pointers. 1. Try out the Vietnamese subs. The difference between this place and other places is the type of bread they use. The dough is less dense and they are made FRESH right there. I've talked to the owner. There's 20+ people in the back making bread. The BBQ pork and tofu are great...avoid the chicken. It's too dry to swallow. 2. Next to the cash register is a display of hum bao. Steamed buns with either pork or chicken. If the lady doesn't understand which one you want, here's a chance for you to practice your Viet. Chicken is "gaah" and pork is "hell". They both have a quail egg inside. Yum! 3. Avoid the sweet buns. They're delivered from CA. Nothing special. Get fresh ones from "Delite Bakery" in Beacon Hill instead 4. Hot food section (far left of the store) is a bit iffy. I tried the beef stew ($3/small portion) and it was way too fatty. Get it if you're malnourished or desperate. read more

Still the best Vietnamese bread in the city. I know many restaurants buy from them and sell in their own deli's...kind of odd. The lady at the cashier doesn't do change right, she always short changes a bit. Oh well I consider it a tip. The butter bread is mouth watering and I can taste it in my mouth now. I probably should give it a bad review so people don't go here and I can have all the warm fresh bread to myself... read more

love this place. the ladies who work here are kind and gentle. They don't speak much but very friendly. I sometimes come in late when they are closing but they still open up and serve me one of their delicious sandwiches. Will keep going back and support their business! read more

I have bad luck ordering chicken banh mi in any place within this complex on MLK. I'll explain. But first, I'll tell you this: In a tiny town in southwest France, my family and I walked into a cute little bakery not far from Lascaux. The bakery had three tiny shelves with 9 different types of pastries. Standing by myself at the counter while the others waited outside. I settled on a palmier (cookie). Mind you, I know how to pronounce 'palmier' and didn't sound like I was describing a poorly executed high-five. The couple stared at me blankly. I'm pointing AT them, saying it at the same time. I'm smiling and looking hopeful. Two minutes in, I'm at an impasse. My husband walks in and I explain my conundrum. In English, he asks me "A palmier?" The woman hands him a palmier. -_- So I told you that story to tell you this one. Basically, remove the France part and insert Q Bakery, and it's identical. My last trip in the other day was like every other day I order a banh mi there. But they're $3 so I keep coming back for a decent, but not exceptional sandwich. Luckily, there are always nice Caucasian people that somehow speak Vietnamese better than I do that help bridge the communication gap. Aside from this slight annoyance, they have fried shrimp cakes, egg rolls and skewered meat in their hot case in addition to sandwiches. Dry goods, they have other Asian treats like dried cuttlefish, Viet cookies etc. $3. I guess I'll see them again soon... read more

This is the place for fresh French bread! One of my favorites places for banh mi in Seattle. My go to sandwich is the tofu and mushroom and my husband likes the Dac Biet. The Mung bean and coconut sesame balls are delicious as well! read more

I game here before going to seward park for a doggie date and I was really excited to try this place out 1. bad service, which I could do without if the food was good 2. food was bad 3. americanized banh mi's! seriously? 4. baguettes weren't crispy and it didn't have the lovely aroma!! don't waste your time going to this hole in the wall. Just wait to go to china town/vietnamese town and get yourself some banh mi's there read more

This spot is pretty darn good. Bread just kept on rolling out, I guess it was prime time. People come here and buy it by the bag. It's like the Vietnamese Boudin's in here with all the goodies they make, but favorite thing has got to be the pate chaud, which is a puff pastry with a seasoned meatball on the inside of it. Mmmmmmmm. The thing is light, flaky, and bombalicious. Yes, that is my word, don't sweat the syntax! Way better than the place kitty corner on the side of the street. Great local low key spot for a sandwich, fresh baked breads, or some pastries. read more

See all

The baguettes and rolls are excellent, and although I haven't tried them yet I'm excited about the dozen-plus types of filled croissants on offer at ridiculously low prices. Cheese, with or without ham? Blueberry, with or without cream cheese? Chocolate, almond? This could be dangerous. I have a bad bakery habit, but at least at Q Bakery I won't go broke while I get fat. I've tried four different banh mi, and I'll agree with Matthew that the basic ones are somewhat Americanized. Mushroom was more interesting than chicken or BBQ pork, obviously. That made this a good place to get food for the in-laws that seemed exotic, but not too scary. (Note to self: don't publish this on Facebook, where the in-laws might see it.) Q Bakery's location on two divided streets makes it a slight pain to get to, but it's worth a stop if you want affordable variety. read more

One of the best sandwiches in all of Seattle. There is nothing not amazing about this place. Long live Q Bakery's banh mi.

The only thing that I like about this place is that they accept cc/debts. Also, there not as crowed like Tammys. Their banh mi isn't all that great. SO DON'T BUY IT! I'll stick to Tammy's Bakery's read more

You want a contact high? Head to Q Bakery any day and take in the fresh baked baguettes intoxicating aroma. Even though it's mostly a bakery for people to pick up sandwiches and other Vietnamese goodies, I wanted to find a corner and just immerse myself in the fresh baked goodness. And of course, with that fresh baked aroma comes the best tasting, freshest baguettes for the banh mi. The veggie and the shredded chicken banh mi are so tasty, fresh and cheap! read more

My husband and I use to go to another place for banh mi when someone recommended Q Bakery to us. It is hands down the best banh mi you can get on the West Coast. I know there are so many places in Orange County, but nothing compares to what we've had at Q Bakery. There are other traditional Vietnamese sweet goodies that they make fresh daily and sell as well. Definitely a great place to grab food to go. There's only 2 or 3 seats but it's definitely not a sit down restaurant. So be ready to order and take it to go. read more

Still a solid 4 stars for Q Bakery (husband wrote the original review, I'm updating...although I think my review should weigh more since I'm actually Vietnamese). The baked goods here (namely, the bread) is the best in town. "Whaaa?! Better than Tony's?!" Yes, I said it. I think they put more butter in their bread. Whatever it is, it smells DIVINE! After being around for some time now, they still manage to look very clean and the set-up is not as cluttered as many other Vietnamese delis around here. Again, their sandwiches aren't insanely good but you will not be disappointed. Their donuts & danishes are also really good. What other Viet deli do you see selling maple bars?! Damn straight! My favorite is when the bread man rolls out a cart of freshly baked breads. Warm, toasty, buttery, perfect! read more

Hands down the best BAHN MI everrrrrrrrrr! This bakery has many different types of Bahn mi with styles of pork, chicken, and beef. The best one is the shredded chicken Bahn mi (obviously an opinion). A WARNING: ASK FOR NO JALAPEÑOS!! Otherwise you will get a lot of very fresh, very seeded jalapeños. The Bahn mis also contain quickly pickled carrots, beets, and fresh cilantro. Amazinggggggg! They also have other bakery items that are must buys: flan, meatballs, and egg rolls. They also have many other things without labels that someone with a more cultured background may be able to identify! I have made an effort to buy one new thing per visit. Dessert, salty, savory? Who cares! I'm trying it all from Q Bakery. Come check out this gem on MLK and make sure you are in between 7a-7p! Ps- Bahn mi from this bakery make AMAZING hiking/camping sandwiches!!!!! read more

This have to be the best banh mi shop I found here in Washington. Their fresh baguette reminds me of Vietnam. My picky kid love their banh mi and we would have to make the long drive just for it. read more

Came out here looking for a Bahn Mi that can top Seattle Deli's. And sad to say, it didn't happen. There Bahn Mi was good but the grilled pork could not even compare. It also had a stronger fish sauce and soy flavour, and a soggy meat texture. I saw the lady in the back microwaving the little pile of meat before putting it on my sandwich. BUT the bread here is awesome! If you wanna buy some great baguettes this is your place. They sell them for $.40 each. I am not sure if those were the day olds or fresh though. The lady at the counter didn't seem to keen of my poking around in there. They have a nice selection of other baked treats in the joint, would love to make it back at an earlier time in the day to see what all they sell. The search continues... read more

As others have noted, the bread here is DELICIOUS. The bahn mi is ok (thanks in large part to the bread), but the quality and quantity of the meat leaves much to be desired. I have also found Q Bakery's sandwiches to be pretty inconsistent...some days they are better than others. The price is definitely right ($2.75), but if you're on the hunt for really good bahn mi, I'd go to Saigon Deli in the International District instead. read more

Q Bakery - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Has a good selection of food in there. I mainly went there to try their banh mi dac biet. It's not bad. There was something that was shredded pork I believe which was a bit overly salty which could be toned down to make it better. I wish there were more meat in the sub though. The selection of meat is good, its just so thinly cut. And the amount of pate in it was very minimal too. The bread was good, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside as it should be. Still haven't found my go to spot for a good banh mi. Maybe I was spoiled in orlando... read more

This used to be the location of my favorite Bahn Mi shop in Seattle, King Baguettes, so when I saw that, after one year as a Pho restaurant, that a new Bahn Mi joint had taken up residence. With dreams of King Baguettes' Chicken Bahn Mi dancing in my head I quickly rushed in. At first examination, Q Bakery is a lot more welcoming than the old King Baguette. There are a variety of baked goods in the cases, and they have both Bahn Mi and regular deli sandwiches available. I had both a pork and a teriyaki chicken bahn mi, and I found that they didn't quite hit the mark. On the plus side, Q Bakery is not stingy with the meat, and the meat is both flavorful and juicy. The teriyaki chicken was especially interesting as I've never had a bahn mi like it before, and I quite enjoyed it. Also, Q Bakery is mercifully light on the mayonnaise. On the down side, both my sandwiches lacked much kick. They tasted like an Americanized bahn mi, with all the asian flavors toned way down. The baguette itself was also kind of disapointing, being more chewy than crusty. For a brand new place, however, I think Q Bakery has a lot of potential, and I look forward to trying them out again in the near future. read more

Most delicious bakery in town! Great prices and everything is fresh and tasty! Oh the delicious smell when you walk in...

The bread here is THE BEST. If you need baguettes for anything, sandwiches, snacking, french bread pizza, sopping up delicious broth, you're in the right place. The fresh bread is cheap! Serve yourself (use the tongs) and bring your purchase to the counter and be amazed at how little you're spending for the best bread around. They also have a sandwich counter that offers banh mi, some premade snacks in a heated cabinet like egg rolls and wings, a few pastries, a selection of drinks, and some random candies/herbs. This is not why you are here, go for the bread. read more

I love this place for their shrimp banh mi but it always comes out cold!!!! I don't know why they always serve their sandwiches cold but I always need to take it back home and heat it up. (Not just the shrimp but all sandwiches come out COLD) read more

Lack smiles BUT thats OK for the price you pay for WHITE French AKA Vietnamese bread... I really like this bread.... Go for the bread not so much the service and smiles. read more

Ah. I wish I actually got to try the baguettes here. We arrived at 6:45 pm on a Sunday evening only to be informed that they were completely out of the bread. What sucked even more was that we were inhaling that mouthwatering scent of baked goods wafting through even before we stepped into the store so I had high hopes! What a tease. Sigh. A bunch of other people left really disappointed too. I'm leaving 3 stars because this bakery is quite spacious and clean, the taunting scent of baked bread makes me believe that it tastes as good as it smells, and they have Com Ruou (rice wine dessert)! read more

Couple stars for the best bread on a banh mi ever! But the inside was way too salty for me and mine came with this hella long black hair... It was freaking gross pulling that out of my sandwich when I was 1/3 of the way thru eating it. No thanks, I dont want hair with my sandwich. Not coming back here with the other great options we already have in seattle. read more

Probably your Togo Vietnamese baguette place if you're in the area. The bread smells sooo good that you can't help but to buy some bread home. They have spring rolls, egg rolls, meat, banh mi, bun thit nuong for $5, cafe sua da, noodle soup, bakery buns & more. $5 minimum on credit cards. No minimum on debt card. read more

Really bad service They do all wrong that I ordered. And they dont mind what you want.

Pros: This place has the best tasting Vietnamese yogurt! Their flan slice cake was good. Che deli is the best at flan. Their pandan with clear jelly was very good. The pandan part is a little bitter but i had the simialr experience at Che lounge with the pandan being bitter. overally that jelly dessert was goo. I would recommend coffee and or taro instead of the pandan since the bitterness might not be something everyone enjoy. so so: Their shrimp paste banh mi was ok. It just not something i want to eat aas much as combination banh mi. Banh cuon was made fresh to order within 15 mins. They used cha ca instead of cha lua like Tony bakery. Which i like. Thier banh cuon meat filling was better tasting. I just prefer to eat their dessert instead of their food. Cons: Their combination banh mi the cold cut meats were great. the pate liver paste was too much for me. Otherwise, i would have love it. Their shui mai pork ball banh mi a little salty flavor for me. Thier grill pork banh mi wasn't as good as Tony bakery. read more

I don't think there was really anything special about this place that made their sandwich stand out from any other place that sells Banh mi. The service was fine. The old lady, grandma, was super adorable. I ordered a combination sandwich and grabbed some pate chaud to go. Both were good but nothing that stood out from other places. read more

Amazing bahn mi sandwiches! We love the teriyaki chicken and fried egg (which isn't on the menu). They make their bread there so it's always fluffy and fresh! read more

This place is my reward lunch spot from work. Can't beat a $2.50 lunch. I stick with the grilled pork. The bread is baked on site, and the meat is delicious. They have some lunch box type things that are quite tasty as well. I have only tried a spattering of their baked goods (coconut buns = yum). If you're in the area and are craving a solid vietnamese sandwich, check this place out! Extra plus= they take credit card. read more

Probably the best vietnamese bakery in the area! Fresh bread daily with nice people behind the counter. It's not excessively busy, but everything is made new everyday. The bread is put out every so often out front and reasonably priced! The Banh-Mi here is great! Try the grilled pork!! read more
