Booth St Bakery is one of those places locals talk about in shorthand – “grab a pork roll from Booth” and everyone knows exactly what you mean. Despite the name, this is very much a Vietnamese bakery and banh mi shop: crackling pork rolls with shatter-crisp skin, lemongrass chicken, rice paper rolls and steaming bowls of phở flying out the door from morning to night.

It’s a true neighbourhood favourite, the kind of spot where tradies line up in hi-vis, office workers duck in between meetings and local families swing by after school pick-up. Service is quick, portions are generous and the rolls are packed to the brim – no sad, half-empty sandwiches here.

Booth St Bakery sits on Booth Street in the heart of Annandale’s village strip, perfectly placed for a grab-and-go lunch or a casual dinner on the way home.
