M sandwiches Cafe San Mateo

Yummy place. Bread is soft and chewy. Loved the bánh mì đặc biệt. Came with some chips- that part wasn’t expected! Refreshing on a summer day with a coconut water 🤤

Me and my friend were both in the area where we were hungry and I asked what should we get to eat. My friend was craving for a Banh mi, so I did some research where I discovered this place and we both agreed to give it a try. Upon arrival, this place is basically a hole in the wall that has one table outside for anyone that chooses to eat there. There was just one customer ahead of us, but that was not a problem since we needed time to browse their menu and decide what to have. After a couple of minutes we knew what we wanted and a friendly staff greeted us and took our order. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. Their menu consists of a variety of Banh mi to choose from, salads, spring rolls, bowls, vermicelli items, refrigerated/house made drinks, pho is also an option and much more to choose from. As time went by the place quickly got busy with many customers coming by to place their orders. Finally our items arrived and each Banh mi comes with a small bag of chips which is just the perfect pair. Overall the food and experience was a satisfying one thanks to their professional, well trained and understanding staffs. I highly recommend this place to all Banh Mi enthusiasts, if you are in need of a quick bite just like me, to anyone willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

It's always a treat getting food from here. They mostly do takeout, but there's a single outdoor table for those who really wanna eat ASAP. The owners run the place and they're both really sweet. The banh mi are solid: fresh, full of textures, well balanced. They serve some other options like vermicelli bowls and occasionally a beef noodle soup on weekends (bun bo hue). They've never missed with my order. Do try their Vietnamese coffee, too!

Great sandwiches. Have been visiting since just before COVID, 2019. Original, fresh ingredients and served quickly with minimum wait time. Mostly to go as they have only a few tables and chairs outside. Owners are very friendly as well.

I have to say that this was definitely one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've had. I tried the M-cafe special, a combo of several meats, honestly on point. Fresh bread, and just right. The spring rolls are huge.. delicious... Definitely a good to spot. Awesome service and super fast. I highly recommend
