Buns & Bubbles, 162 Tacker Drive, has opened serving a Vietnamese- centric menu including bánh mì, bao buns, spring rolls, milk tea and Vietnamese coffee.
The cafe is owned by Halina and Bao Le. Recipes are courtesy of Halinaâs mom and grandmother. Her mom comes to the cafe to prepare many of the dishes several days a week. Halina bakes bread daily for the bánh mì, the star of the menu, with 13 combinations from which to choose.
Thereâs the classic Vietnamese-style combination bánh mì ($6.50), which has Vietnamese-style ham, sausage and barbecue pork topped with fresh and pickled veggies. There are several nonclassic offerings like a cheese steak bánh mì ($8.50) with lean beef tenderloin, grilled onion and bell peppers, topped with provolone cheese. We could not get enough of the house special, Bánh Mì Pho Dip ($8.30), which is a spin on a French dip.
