So glad I decided to stop in for lunch. I ordered the grilled pork báhn mi and a peach/mango tea. The tea was very refreshing. Not overly sweet, a perfect balance of peach and mango. I would definitely re-order this! The sandwich was everything a good báhn mi should be: light, crispy, baguette, filled with fresh veg, rounded out with deliciously seasoned grilled pork. Delicious! Lunch special was$10! Great value, great meal! read more

A few months ago I visited this place because of my craving for Bahn Mi sandwiches. I ordered their grilled pork Bahn Mi lunch special that came with chips and a fruit tea--which was Mango flavor. The lady helping me I believe was the owner, and she was so nice! During my time there she asked how I was doing with my meal and I complemented how tasty and delicious it was. She later expressed how their Special Bahn Mi is popular and that ham, pate and carrot, daikon veggie mix and I bought one just to try and I'm glad I did! Super flavor and the bread had that perfect crunch. Fast forward to today I ordered the same thing and got a Vietnamese Ice coffee as my drink. So happy this place is here! read more

I love Vietnamese food! The first time I tried this place it was good. I'm yet to try other items from their menu, but I had their banh mi and it was delicious. This is located at the Food Maxx shopping area on White Lane. When you first walk in they have a snack shelf with Asian goodies and a display shelf with desserts. The inside is clean, it's pretty plain inside, but they have a few tables if you want to dine in. Service was very fast and the employees are nice. If you have never tried Vietnamese food, then you need to check this place out. The place is not hard to find and parking is never an issue since they share the parking lot with Food Maxx. read more

Visited on Monday as a recommendation from my cousin! First time trying bahn mi sandwich and I got the grilled pork. The vegetables in the sandwich were very fresh (cucumber, jalopeno, carrots, etc) and the pork was seasoned perfectly. I ordered the meal that was $10.99 which includes the Vietnamese iced coffee, sandwich, and chips. Exceptional priced meal! The iced coffee was very sweet and delicious! The lady cashier was VERY sweet and very kind. She made my son and I feel very welcome. Exceptional service! I cannot wait to go back and try other sandwiches and drinks! Definitely will be recommending this place to others. Also, they have Japanese desserts and we tried out a bunch and they were all very good! Tried the chestnut cake and rolled mocha sponge cake! Highly recommend! read more

This place is great! If you live in Bakersfield or are traveling past it's worth the detour off the fwy. The Bahn mis are as fresh and delicious as I've had. And I was just in Vietnam at the Anthony Bourdain Hoi An place. Enjoy! read more

Fast and cheap lunch spot with classic banh mi Vietnamese sandwiches! We did the lunch special to go and did the house banh mi sandwiches which included pate, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, and some sauce on the French baguette. It also came with some frito lay brand chips and a drink either a fruit tea or coffee. I got the strawberry fruit tea and kumquat fruit tea and added boba to both for an extra 60 cents each. I also grabbed a Japanese style cheese cake that they had in to go packages. Service was friendly and relatively fast, I waited about 10 mins total. Inside they had small tables and chairs to sit and eat inside. They had Asian convenience store goodies and drinks also to grab. Definitely a quick service lunch vibe! I felt like this was the classic Banh mi experience you would get at a corner shop or street vendor in Vietnam. It was also priced really well to get you coming back every day for lunch! It was 10.99 for the sandwich, chips, and drink. I also never had a drink to go bag before for my tea! That was fun! I'll be back and telling my friends! read more

Salt And Sweet Spot - 3. Pork Roll Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We stumbled upon this spot while passing through town on a road trip and it was absolutely worth the stop. These are authentic bánh mì sandwiches that rival some of my favorite spots in New York City. We came in for a quick lunch and ordered the #1 House Special and the grilled pork bánh mì. Both were outstanding. The House Special was exactly what you hope for: perfectly crunchy bread that's still soft inside, flavorful meats, and fresh, crisp veggies in every bite. The grilled pork bánh mì was just as impressive. The pork was incredibly delicious and we didn't leave a single crumb behind. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by a very pleasant woman who happily shared the specials and answered all our questions. The space itself was clean, bright, and well-kept, which made the experience even better. If you're anywhere nearby, don't hesitate to stop. This place is a gem. read more

I had the Grilled pork bahn mi. Bread was crunchy outside soft inside. Pork was flavorful and hardly any fat. Veggies were fresh. Sooooo good. The Vietnamese coffee was DElicious. The whole meal was about $10. The only thing that would make the sandwich better is if they offered the grilled pork WITH the pâté. read more

Salt And Sweet Spot - Grilled pork bahn mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We were visiting from out of town to visit family and so thrilled to find a boba spot in Bakersfield that is actually good! I love banh mi/sandwiches and had to try the pate and pork roll one while there. Really enjoyed that--their special banh mi sauce gives it a really good flavor. The bread was fresh and had a nice crisp to it. Next time, I will try their grilled pork sandwich because I hear that one is popular. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar boba 70% sweet and the mango smoothie. I'd say the drinks here are on the sweeter side, so personally I would go down to 50% sweet. Regardless, we thought the drinks were so refreshing and on par with the boba shops in the bay area. Chiming in with what others have said about the drinks, food, and customer service here--this place is a HIT. Don't sleep on this one, support your local business! read more

The owner is so sweet and friendly. The price for the sandwiches are a steal in Bakersfield. This is our favorite place to grab Vietnamese sandwiches because they are very consistent and fair prices. They also offer drinks and other sweets. There are a few tables and chairs to dine in, but we usually order for Togo. read more

We usually come here for Vietnamese sandwiches. The grilled pork sandwich is good. Very reasonable price too.

Visiting my family in Bakersfield has been very fun considering all the new places to eat popping up. Salt and Sweet Spot was our choice before heading back down to LA. Very happy to have tried the banh mi here as my bro and I were craving it on a hot summer bako day. They've only been open for 6 months, the place is clean and tidy inside, enough tables for a grab and go lunch, a section of Asian snacks and a glorious selection of Japanese pastries STRAIGHT FROM JAPAN (every Monday!) in the fridge section. The second we walked in we were greeted by Fiona who is by far the sweetest woman on the planet - she is so nice, so friendly, and so great to talk to - you can tell she loves getting to know her customers. She even let us sample the Japanese steamed cheesecake after we already bought some. Generous soul indeed! I told her I am vegan, and she made a special banh mi with tofu, which is not on the menu. Heart burst with appreciation! And it was GOOD! I made it into a combo and that came with chips and a Vietnamese coffee, and ordered 2 grilled pork banh mis. Everyone enjoyed it, and the jalapeños, gave it a lovely kick. It's an affordable place offering fresh food with lovely company from fiona!! I can't wait to go back - thank you Fiona! read more

We found this place randomly. My husband and I ordered the house special and grilled pork sandwiches. Both were FANTASTIC. The bread was delicious! We also had iced black tea and iced black milk tea. The staff was so friendly and kind and the restaurant was clean and pretty! Highly recommend! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Good: very affordable, crunchy bread (NOT HARD), grilled pork seems like it was cooked fresh Needs improvement: carrots are not pickled which is very important element of a bahn mi. Unfortunately when I took a bite, I knew it was missing something. It could be the meat since it has a different flavor from any other bahn mi I've tried but the real reason why the flavor is a bit off was because of the carrots not being pickled, and there's no daikon :( I was looking forward to having a new favorite bahn mi place so hopefully it gets fixed Service is really good! Ambience, very clean and cutesy! read more

Stopped by after reading reviews, passing through town and needed lunch. Super clean, very sweet staff and fast service. Not a huge menu, but what they have they do well.

Salt And Sweet Spot - Bahn mi 1. House Special Sandwich 2. Grilled Pork Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Unfortunately, I don't see this place staying in business for longer than a year. There's nothing authentic about these sandwiches, I think they're trying to cater to the non-Asian people because they don't use pickled veggies and the meat is not good and very basic. I paid an extra $1.50 for extra extra pate only to get home and see the lightest spread of pate. Almost non existent. And that's the 3rd time it happened. I just assumed it was a mistake the first time. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone who's tried a REAL banh mi. I guess I'll have to keep making the drive to Los Angeles read more

Sandwiches were great. Bread was crisp yet soft. I got the combo with the tea. A perfect reasonable lunch! Highly recommend

The owner was welcoming and asked questions while recommending different options. One option was a $10.50 combo that included a sandwich, Vietnamese coffee, and chips. I ordered only the sandwich, which cost $7.50. The bread was fresh, light, and crispy, and the pate in the sandwich was flavorful. Will come back again for the combo soon. read more

I was craving for some Banh Mi and saw this place. It really hit the spot. The lady was really nice as well. Highly recommend!

I got two Banh mi, the special and the grilled pork. Both are amazing and I have miss eating banh mi every week when I used to live in the 6262, SGV (San Gabriel Valley). Grilled pork was cooked fresh, so please have some patiences. The owner was super nice and service was quick. They had extra Asian snacks and desserts there. They tea was on par with other boba shop in the area. I couldn't comment on the Cafe Su Da unfortunately as I can have milk anymore Would totally come back again for more banh mi read more

Best vietmese sandwich I have found in town. The sandwiches tasted fresh and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They just opened recently and hope business picks up for them. The service was warm and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The inside was SPOTLESS! You can't beat the price. 10 bucks gets you a quality meal that's fresh. I will definitely be back! read more

Our 1st time visiting & will be coming back.. Delicious sandwiches. The mango peach tea was so good

Possibly the best Banh Mi in town, and such a killer value. I got two sandwiches and left for less than what I would spend at a sub anywhere else. Get the House Special AND the Grilled Pork. The pickled carrot/daikon, Jalapeño, and cilantro balance the richness of the meat so well. I always ask for extra pickle as well because their veggies are so bright and fresh. The owner was super nice, and this place deserves to be more than just a hidden gem in town. Put down the bland ass Subway, and get some Banh Mi. read more
