Step onto Booth Street around lunchtime and you’ll see it straight away – the line of people snaking out the door, all waiting for the same thing: a hot, crunchy banh mi from Booth St Bakery.
Despite the name, this is less croissant-and-cappuccino café, more Vietnamese bakery and canteen. Think crackling pork rolls, steaming bowls of phở and neatly packed rice paper rolls, all flying out the door to tradies, office workers and families who’ve been coming here for years.
The feel of Booth Street’s banh mi hub
Booth St Bakery sits on the slope of Booth Street in the heart of Annandale, a quick walk from Precinct 37, Supabarn and the village strip.
Inside, it’s busy in the best way: trays of bread rolls stacked high, staff moving fast behind the counter and a constant hum of “pork roll, extra chilli” orders. People duck in wearing hi-vis, school uniforms and activewear; some grab takeaway and others eat at the outdoor tables, watching Booth Street roll by.
It’s no-fuss, efficient and friendly – the kind of place where they know the regulars’ orders and you’ll probably spot someone from your street in the queue.
What to order
The menu leans into Vietnamese comfort food with plenty of favourites:
Crackling Pork Roll
The crowd favourite. A warm, crusty roll packed with slices of roast pork, shards of crackling, pâté, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, coriander and your choice of chilli. Salty, crunchy, messy and perfect.Lemongrass Chicken Roll
Grilled lemongrass chicken tucked into a soft roll with herbs, salad and house-made sauces. A lighter option that’s still big on flavour.Rice Paper Rolls
Fresh rolls filled with vermicelli, herbs and your choice of protein (like pork or lemongrass chicken). Great if you want something quick and not too heavy.Phở & Noodle Soups
Bowls of steaming chicken or beef noodle soup, ideal on a cold day or when you need something more substantial than a sandwich.Rice Dishes
Lemongrass pork or chicken with rice and salad – simple, filling plates that regulars order on repeat.
You’ll also find pastries, snacks and cold drinks in the cabinet if you’re just after a quick bite.
