Banh Mi Ca Phe Vietnamese Street Food in Warwick

The food is delicious, friendly staff. Such a hidden gem in the town.

What's not to love.. crispy belly pork in some lovely crusty bread.

In order from you most weeks however the sandwiches tasted as if it had been sat around for a couple of days. The pork was rubbery and the crackling was soggy and spongy… as if it had been re heated or sat in a container for a while. I expected better for the price

Best Vietnamese street food for sure. Loved it and it was delicious😋. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the vibe is just amazing

I ordered the vegan bahn mi and it was really greasy, the tofu and bread were both just soaked in grease. I struggled to even hold and eat it as the grease was dripping down my hands. I ended up throwing it away. Won't be coming here again.

Stopped for a banh mi for lunch, was tasty, would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick sandwich. Will be back

Fantastic place 🤗 Food here is so amazing💙 Staffs are so friendly and polite. 💯 Don't forget to try all the items in their menu.

After 45 minutes of waiting for one sandwich we complained and they said that it would take 10 more minutes and asked if I would prefer something else. So slow would not recommend.

The wait! 😱 we ordered to take away an iced coffee and a sandwich. It was already hard to get the staff attention to order but it took almost an hour to get ready! They have plenty of staff, but they pick orders they feel like doing … people were waiting around us forever too and some people that arrived later got served before us. Absolutely chaotic. They said sorry but it didn’t feel like they meant it so meh. Also what’s the point of wearing gloves if you gonna touch your hair.. The coffee was great but the banh mi was very average. I took the tofu one and it was tasteless. I wouldn’t recommend it at all!

The owner started verbally abusing me after asking to be paid for a trial shift. I finally got paid a month later and after he was very rude to me.

Decent pho, but the sandwich was cold, it too almost an hour to get food, and the order was incorrect. Ordered spring rolls, but was given fried squid

I normally order from here for my lunch breaks, it is quicker to do an uber pick up than wait. However, the food is always so amazing and fresh. I absolutely love everything here and the staff always have a smile when I pick up. Thank youu :)

Had banh mi twice today, in the morning and later in the afternoon. I would say that the quality was really inconsistent. The chicken banh mi in the morning was okay although the chicken was quite dry. Visited again to buy pork banh mi but realized it's just a waste of time and money. They cut the two ends of the baguette (or maybe used a different type of baguette) which made the meat fall out of the banh mi. It's really annoying, especially when it's a takeaway. On top of that, it was absolutely bland. I guess the staff forgot to put sauce in the banh mi.

Got the crispy pork banh mi and a matcha ice shake. Both were so delicious, the matcha ice shake was similar to a matcha frappe. The banh mi was an excellent show of fusion food as it had flavours both reminiscent of authentic banh mi mixed with a bit more of a westernized palate. Would 100% go again!

Nice food but super slow service. 35mins for a sandwich is too long.

The food is just so good here! Fantastic Banh Mi and they do Vietnamese egg coffee which I love! The spring role sides are also great. It does tend to get busy at around lunch time so food can take a while but definitely worth the wait!

Absolutely fantastic food, will be ordering from here again.

Clearly this place is lacking competent management. Been meaning to visit for a while. Went today, won't be back. Firstly, the service was terrible, but the friendly server explained, they were training a few folk. This I can accept, but the level of service dropped below what I think paying customers should expect. Ordered food and drinks. There was some confusion about what was ordered. N.B. I ask my lad to order for me every time as he enjoys doing it. When my order came it was wrong which I was happy to accept. Mistakes happen. What I wasn't happy to accept was the lady coming to show me what they had written down. I really don't care what is on your bit of paper. Also made my lad feel very guilty. Drinks. Ha ha ha. No latte, no Pukka teas (on display), no cream soda (on display). Didn't appreciate the lady laughing whilst she told us after us paying for them and sitting down. For Pete's sake, it would take seconds to take them down. But we were told "they're for display". Got my food a good 8 minutes before my family's. Got my drink about 2 minutes before I finished my food. I wanted to leave but had paid for food, which was 3 stars. Was given a drink to apologise. Thank you. 50 quid down.

Nice place and service. We ordered Pho, Chicken Lemongrass Rice Bowl and Beef Banh Mi which were delicious. Iced Coffee is also a must!✨

Really tasty sandwiches, quickly prepared.

I’ve visited a few times and found that the service can be quite slow, however, the food is tasty and seems fresh so you can’t really go wrong with this! If you have enough time to wait, it’s worth it! I do find the prices to be slightly high in proportion to what you get. But we do treat ourselves from time to time :)

Had a lovely meal! I got the Pho and the portion was great, my partner got the pork belly bahn mi and it was delicious too! I would recommend! Only thing is that we ordered lemonade which came after our meal had been eaten! It was great homemade lemonade, but ideally should have come by the time our food arrived.

Really delicious viatnamese food, quick and polite service, nice seating despite but unfortunately unbearable oil smell… every couple of months I revisit incase they installed a new ventilation or fixed it something but leave disappointed - and with all my clothing smelling…

Very good quality food and Vietnamese coffee, just like in Hanoï. Saganisa (sorry for the bad spelling), who served me was extremely friendly and crafted excellent banh mi as well as a delicious egg coffee! Thank you 5 star service

Great food, messy service. They always forget something in my order and just now took 30min to get my Pho :( even though there were 6 people working there, and 5 customers. Used to be a regular but fed up, will look elsewhere :/

Dont waste your lunch break! 45 minutes between ordering and recieving my food without an apology for my wait despite being told my order was next, another 15 minutes and 4 orders I finally got my food.

Absolutely delicious- highly recommend the chicken rice bowl 😍

Excellent vegan option, plentiful tofu and fresh ingredients. Nice warming level of modest spice with extra chilli available. 😋

I ate in. Food was good, but the place was just about ok. The Vietnamese coffee was a bit disappointing since they put too much ice and not enough condensed milk and coffee. It felt expensive for the service that was provided.

Lovely baguette, shamr delivery always takes do long and u pay a hefty service charge too

I only tried their chicken dumplings, and I enjoyed it. The only thing it is a tiny place and you most likely leave smells of food. Other than that, I highly recommend it 👍☺️

Tofu not as nice ,very chewy Delivery time Excellent x

Pork banh mi was so good, best sandwich I have had in a long time.

Love there baguettes,always fresh quality ingredients, fabulous xx

Food was not hot. I ordered Coke Zero and received Diet Coke - a different drink which tastes very different.

I used to think quite highly of this place because of how tasty their food was. But unfortunately todays visit has put me off going again. I went in and ordered to beef mis to take out. I watched the person prepare my food wearing the same gloves that she had handled money with a few seconds before. This is disgusting & unhygienic. I didn't make a scene in the store as she may have been new and didn't want to embarrass her, but its the managers fault for not supervising properly. Please make some improvements to your hygiene standards and i may consider coming again.

Great food, great staff, great service. Definitely come back.

Cosy and delicious, worth any wait for the food, 11/10

Horrendously slow service. I'm sorry, but a 20+ min wait for takeaway food isn't expected or warranted. Clearly more staff needed.

does not pay the employees their salaries on time and let them chase for their own money.

Absolutely love the taste of the sandwiches but have you reduced the portion size or something? Because I cannot justify spending £9.50 to receive just half of a cut sandwich and that’s not even including +delivery fees. If so , the images you have on delivery apps are misleading as they show a full sandwich :( for this reason I will not be ordering again unfortunately.

Great place for lunch, rice bowls are fresh & nutritious

Great food and service. A real gem!

The best food I had in the UK. The prawn mi sandwich is so amazing.

What an amazing discovery! I visited Ban Me Ca Phe last week, having no idea it was on my doorstep. I can highly recommend the crispy pork/rice bowl, my partner had the pho which I also sampled! Wow 🤩 This will now be my weekly treat!

Hands down best in the area by far! My favourite is the crispy pork rice bowl and banh mi sandwich which is delicious. Decent sized portions too and great value for money.

Hugely impressed with pretty much every dish on the menu! (Which now I’ve been through them all) My particular favourite is the beef/noodle bowl!! Divine!! I highly recommend this place! 5*

My review is based only on the one item I tried; the Beef Pho. The Beef Pho was not good. It was very average. The portion size and price point were good, but the flavour was seriously lacking, if not absent. The broth was bland; maybe the blandest I've ever had our of probably 50+ in both Vietnam and the UK. Which was incredibly disappointing as it looked great and the ingredients were clearly fresh. I had to ask for for some fish sauce and soy sauce (which were not on the table as condiments for customers to use themselves which itself is quite odd), and then add a tonne of sriracha sauce and mix the three into the broth to give it some flavour. Sadly I wouldn't recommend the Pho here. This place seems to be Banh Mi focussed, so maybe the Pho is an afterthought and not the speciality. I will return though to try their delicious-looking Banh Mi which have great reviews on here, and will update the review accordingly.

Lovely little restaurant with fantastic food. Plenty of options on the menu, including vegan. The had the rice bowl and it was one of the nicest meals I've had, really flavourful and spicy, and a good size portion. The prices are very reasonable too. Will defo return. 👍

This is really great Vietnamese Food in town. Good food, Good service. Love it here 😍

Been a stable weekly loyal customer since 2021! Absolutely love the place, the people and the food! Pho is my all time favourite!

The best and tastiest food for me💚❤️👏 I recommend highly.

I’ve been many times to Ban mi ca phe Vietnamese! What a little gem! The crispy pork is one of my favourites, the taste is as I remember it from my visit to Vietnam! The pho is also my top dishes of choice! I highly recommend a try!

This cafe is a joke . It hasnt paid multiple employees and its so shameful . If you cant pay why are you operating it ??

We had the pork Bánh Mì, chicken crispy dumpling and egg coffee (hot). Very quick service and totally delicious. It all tasted as good as I remember from our trip to Hanoi and the baguette texture was perfect. We will be visiting again even though it's over an hour away from home. I recommend trying the egg coffee, it's luxurious

Really nice little place with a nice atmosphere, informal but comfortable. My wife had the spring rolls which were very tightly packed and a little under-seasoned but, overall, perfectly OK. I had the Chicken Mi which had plenty of flavour but, sadly, the chicken was very dry which was a shame. The homemade lemonade and the ginger spritzer we had were both refreshing although could do with a little less sweetening. All in all, a good experience and with a couple of tweaks they could elevate the whole thing dramatically.

Small restaurant with few seats. The food is fresh and delicious. And the staff are friendly and helpful.

Fist time having food here…. A Mazing… will definitely be returning soon 👍👍👍

The banh mi are really good consistently but the rice bowels are variable ranging from ok to excellent. It's a shame because it's relatively expensive. The staff are also a bit variable unfortunately. Sitting is nice if a bit small.

When to order and was told the price had changed, thought the board in front of me was the old price When I declined order staff member placed the board back where it was with the wrong price ignoring their mistake Previous visit - owners children knocked takeaway cutlery onto the floor and when they asked what to do with it, they were told to put it back in the tub to be used

Hot sauce was not expected or wanted, very disappointing, was looking forward to the pho as enjoyed every time previously

We love coming here and usually always get the same order, the Tofu Noodle Bowl which is delicious. Though a note for the owner that quality control is needed as we never know what to expect ingredient wise. The veggies often change and today the tofu was cut weird. I also came with a friend to show them around and we received our orders completely covered in hot sriracha sauce which we had to try and remove with some napkins because it was inedible otherwise. Think this was a new employee though so no big deal! I'll still come reguraly, but hopefully you'll take this in account :)

Unbelievably bad hygiene. Cross-contamination everywhere! One person had revolting greasy gloves on and was just putting their hands in salads, meats, everything! Another person took payments and then just carried on making food without washing hands or changing gloves. I'd definitely be very worried if I had allergies or couldn't eat meat. Then again I'll not be going back! I didn't even eat what I bought as I was so disgusted.

This place is so strange. The food is great which is why I keep going back there. But the service is so chaotic and that’s now become part of the experience: ‘what will go wrong this time?’. They have never got my order correct: included cucumber when I’ve asked for it without (and the guy has highlighted that on the order slip), served as eat-in when asked for takeaway, served as takeaway when asked for eat-in, mixed customers names up on the orders (‘excuse me, I think that’s actually mine’). And you have to wait a LONG time even when the kitchen is full of staff. I recently saw a guy get a refund and walk out cause his food order never arrived. You could forgive this when they just opened, but it’s been like 2 years now and they should have really sorted it out. I’ll probably still go there though for my pork banh mi fix.

I tried something new, and tbh I was disappointed. The food was okay, but nothing special, a little uninteresting to me.

adorable Vietnamese restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food for both those new to Vietnamese cuisine and those already immersed!

Food was absolutely beautiful. Thank you. May of been an issue with just eat on delivery time. Was worth the wait. Will be returning.

We’ve had food from here a few times and I have been very happy, however the other day we ordered a take away at approximately 5pm. The restaurant closes about 7pm. The food I ordered was the usual but this time it lacked everything I normally enjoyed. The rice was dried out, the chicken had no flavouring and the spring onions and chillies were very sparse. The spring rolls were very oily and not how they had tasty previously. It was a complete disappointment. We called them to discuss the issue but the member of staff wasn’t very helpful and kept on repeating that it was all cooked the same each time and therefore she didn’t understand my concerns. We were not offered a refund and obviously we were very disappointed and will not be going back.

delicious fresh food .Will definitely be ordering again!

Cute intimate cafe interior, friendly staff and delicious food

foods banging and the playlist was immaculate

My original review was very positive, but unfortunately the quality of service has become disappointing. The flavour was great, but recently I've been trying to get a sandwich and the staff doesn't even seem to know when they will open, and it has happened a few times now, and I see that other people have experienced the same. It's a shame, as the food was very good.

The food is absolutely delicious and healthy. The pork and chicken noodle bowls are definitely a must try. The bahm mi are quite filling for the price and fresh. The staff is friendly and will help you in whatever way they can.

The best beef noodle soup in the world they claim....sorry, not having that Can only judge on what I ordered and at £11.45 it was hugely disappointing.

I have to change my previous positive review due to the excruciatingly slow service I've now received a few times. The staff seem to spend more time chatting than serving, a sandwich took 15 mins for 3 staff with nobody else there. One of the staff was picking up food from the display, eating with his gloved hands then licking his gloves clean. (!?) It's a great shame because the coffee is good.

I was so excited for this but sad to say it was a massive disappointment. Pretty much echo what other negative reviews say: - Mediocre Banh Mi but fills a void if you're massively craving one. I had the Classic, they skimped on the Pate and the chilli sauce (the two key ingredients in my opinion!) - Hugely overpriced. I wouldn't mind paying £9 if it actually tasted like a traditional Banh Mi. - Service terrible... 2.30 pm on a Friday and I'm the only customer, and exactly 5 team members behind the counter chatting. Still took them 15 minutes to make my mine. - They forgot to plug the card machine so it ran out of battery; the girl said I could pay when my order was ready and they'd reset the machine. So after my order arrives 15 minutes later, imagine my joy that they have forgot to plug it in again and so I spend another 5 mins watching them faff with the machine again. I almost left my order and walked out as I would have been able to get home and make my own lunch quicker.

So I often pop in here at the end of the day, The wait can be a bit long even when quiet but the food is usually lovely. Therefore gone back loads. However today waited ages and ordered one drink which they couldn't serve. Got money back not a problem. However, behind the counter was carrot etc on the floor and a man bought a bag of meat in and put it on the floor. Lots of staff but just didn't seem right. So not sure I'll go back now but to be fair as I said food has been lively the 10 or more times I've been there.

The pork Bahn mis are good although on the pricey side. Noodle bowl is also nice. The thing that needs most improvement is the service. It can take too long for them to bring your order out. Sometimes it seems they even forget that you’ve ordered and you have to check back with them.

11/10 Vietnamese comfort food! Staff so friendly and nice and food so delicious! Would highly recommend anything with the crispy pork on it and the homemade lemonade is to die for!

Ignore the 3.5 rating this place is exceptionally delicious! 11/10 Vietnamese comfort food, especially recommend anything with the crispy pork on it! Also the homemade lemonade is to die for! They’ve gained two new regulars!

First time here and didn't disappoint very nice staff clean and tidy and the sandwiches were very tasty and amazing flavour

Food is nice but every time I've ordered they've lost my order and left us to wait each time. If happy to wait 25-30mins for a sandwich then I'd recommend

The crispy pork was absolutely amazing, not sure how they cook it but need the recipe. Tempted to say best I’ve ever had!

The staff were very nice and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh! For the banh mi, it would of been great if there were the pickles (carrot and daikon) Good spot for lunch :)

Delicious food, friendly staff. Will be back to try the rest. Highly recommend

Really nice place for banh mi, I also ordered some spring rolls and they were very nice. They offer different fillings for the sandwiches and also have other offerings like pho. Would recommend this place if you like Vietnamese food.

The name of the place is Banh Mi Ca Phe. Ca Phe? Oh, yeah - cafe! Got it now? This place and the "Vietnamese street food" it serves up is as phoney as its name. Avoid at all costs and seek out genuine Vietnamese restaurants, where, unlike this place, the food is the real deal and the service is great. Leamington has a lot of eateries like this, ripping off people who think they are smart and sophisticated but who are actually stupid and are ripe for the plucking.

The quality of the food was outstanding, basically every bite was a flavour bomb, we will definitely re-order. Cannot recommend enough!

The most flavourful, fresh and delicious food in Warwickshire. It’s my absolute favourite. Highly recommend 5*

Best lunch spot in Leam! I’ve visited Banh Mi Ça Phe several times over the last 12 months, and it never fails to disappoint. I’ve tried most of the menu, and it’s all fantastic, but the pork banh mi is incredible… you have to try it! I’m really disappointed to see some poor reviews on here, most of them seem to be service based. I’ve personally only ever had good service here. We all know it’s a tough market to recruit in at the moment, give the guys a chance. They’re a small business, doing their best! I’d urge you to support local and visit Banh Mi! Ps. If you subscribe to “IndyLeam” you get 15% off Monday - Thursday 😉

The food here is incredible and we go in person whenever we can. I knocked off one star only because I think the vegan and non vegan sandwiches should have been packed apart/not touching.

Great little place for lunch. Only wish it was open longer.

Delicious Vietnamese food. The Pork belly is amazing, and definitely get some sides (the lotus root and the prawn egg rolls are amazing). Service is fairly quick even when busy. Plenty of space to eat in, or takeaway. Homemade lemonade is incredible. Price point wise is a little on the expensive side, but worth it for the quality!

The food here is always delicious and includes vegan options :)

Food good but came out separately so we watched each other eat. Seating basic, nice for a quick, basic level comfort eatery.

visited leamington spa for my uncles birthday and came across banh mi caphe, i was very excited to try Vietnamese food for the first time but was disgusted by the service. staff was chatting whilst i tried multiple times to place an order. seemed very disorganised and i was overall very upset so decided to leave. very unfortunate.

Slow is the only word for here. If there’s a queue outside, make this assumption. Had take away sandwiches once and although tasty (not hugely generous) was not worth the wait in hindsight. So decided to sit in to try their Pho and well my title says it all. Won’t return for the fact this place just hasn’t managed staff/timings …still. Sad really as it could be so much better.

Excellent, friendly and the food was perfect, full of flavour with fresh ingredients prepared in front of you, would 100% recommended 👍

Went in this evening at 5pm to order a traditional Vietnamese ube coconut cream coffee. Only to have all 4 staff members say they don’t know how to make it only the owner does and they are out...if I went into Nando’s and ordered chicken I wouldn’t expect someone to say they don’t know how to cook some chicken..disappointing

Food is servicable if you have a craving for Vietnamese but not great. Service is exceptionally slow. Watched a guy spend 5 minutes making a Pho. The staff spend more time chatting than focusing on work.
