Best Baguette

Best Baguette is a Vietnamese restaurant in Portland, Oregon, located at the Graduate School of Education, 1833 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR 97201. Its central campus setting makes it a convenient option for students, staff, and nearby workers looking for a quick meal during the weekday. Customer reviews describe it as an affordable lunch spot, especially for a filling banh mi sandwich when time is limited.

Banh mi is the main draw, with customer favorites including grilled pork, grilled chicken, and green onion tofu. Reviews praise the flavor of the grilled chicken and note that the pork sandwich can be a particularly good value. Vegetarian choices mentioned by customers include a plain vegetable banh mi, green onion tofu banh mi, and a breakfast egg-and-cheese sandwich. The selection described in reviews is focused rather than extensive, so diners seeking a particular meat-free option may want to check what is available when they visit.

Speed and convenience are recurring themes in customer feedback: several reviewers say orders are usually ready within a few minutes. Customers also appreciate the prices, with past reviews citing roughly $5 for some sandwiches and $6.25 for grilled pork; prices may change. Portions are described as filling, though one reviewer notes that the bread makes for a substantial sandwich, and another mentions some gristle in a meat sandwich. These details make the reviews useful for setting practical expectations: Best Baguette is a casual, quick-service choice where value and a fast lunch are central to the appeal.

The atmosphere is best understood through its campus location and quick-meal role rather than as a destination for a long sit-down occasion. It may suit a student between classes, an employee on a lunch break, or anyone nearby who wants a straightforward banh mi without spending much time away from the day. Reviews mention drinks as an option, while some feel they are relatively expensive compared with the sandwiches. The business has a 4.3-star rating from 200 reviews, reflecting a mix of appreciation for taste, convenience, and price alongside occasional concerns about ingredients or service timing.

Best Baguette lists hours from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is closed Saturday and Sunday. One customer reported being unable to order shortly before the posted closing time, so it may be wise to arrive with enough time before 5:00 p.m. For a weekday visit near SW 6th Avenue, Best Baguette offers a practical Portland stop for banh mi, with grilled meat and vegetarian sandwich options, quick preparation, and prices that reviewers have found budget-friendly.
