" After hearing so many recommendations, I had to visit Cali Baguette Express and it did not disappoint! I tried the special banh mi and it was stuffed with delicious meats and fresh veggies. The staff was super friendly, and the wait was surprisingly short. I also enjoyed a Vietnamese iced coffee that was perfectly strong and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m disappointed. I tried the beef lemongrass banh mi and expected much more based on the reviews. While the bread was fresh, I found the meat to be a bit dry and minimal portions for the price. The staff seemed overwhelmed during lunch hour which affected service speed. Unfortunately, I won't be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited this establishment numerous times, I've always found the quality to be consistent. Their banh mis are great, but it’s the side dishes that really win me over. Their fried rice is on another level, full of flavor and perfect portions. The staff, particularly the woman at the counter who always seems to remember me, adds to the sense of community. A great place to enjoy some comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cali Baguette Express with high expectations, and I'm glad to say they met them! The bahn mi sandwiches here are not only authentic, but also incredibly tasty. I especially loved the BBQ pork with pickled veggies. The baguette had that delightful crunch that complements the soft fillings very well. The ambiance had a cozy feel, perfect for casual dining. If you're in the mood for a delicious Vietnamese meal, definitely stop by this place. You'll be hooked! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving a good banh mi, this is the place to go! The bread is perfect, the ingredients are always fresh, and the staff treat you like family. Can't complain about the prices either. Just be prepared for a line during lunchtime! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on a mission to find the best banh mi in Mira Mesa and I think I've finally found it! This place offers a wide variety of sandwiches, and the lemongrass beef was out of this world. The baguette was fresh, with that perfect crunch. The blend of flavors was exceptional, and you could tell they used quality ingredients. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you receive. This is definitely my new go-to spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has made my lunch breaks exciting! The banh mi are incredible and the coffee is on point. I love how they provide various options, and I never leave hungry. Brought my coworker for her first time and she is now a regular. Can't get enough of the flavors here! " (*Curated Review*)
