Phuoc Thanh Bakery Richmond

Victoria Street is ground zero for Melbourne's Vietnamese street food hustle, and anyone chasing the ultimate baguette bypasses the rest for Phuoc Thanh. The bánh mì here? Absolute gold—and a total steal at nine bucks. Think unapologetically generous payloads—vibrant lemongrass chicken, deeply savory BBQ cuts, and crackling-fresh veggies. The ultimate insider move—asking for extra pâté. They won’t charge you a cent, just an easy nod and a heavier slather. Street-food purists comparing the local heavyweights consistently crown this spot for its flawless meat-to-veg distribution and punchy sauces. The bakery itself—sharp, modern, immaculate. And whatever you do, do not skip the cà phê muối. Their Vietnamese salted coffee is a rich, impossibly smooth caffeine hit that leaves you instantly wishing for a larger cup. Grab a roll, secure that salted brew, and thank me later.
