Baker’s Palace

Wow, this may have been my worst banh mi in the history of my life. I didn’t think that veering away and trying a new place for banh mi would be this disappointing, but unfortunately it was. Maybe I’ll just stick with what I know in case this happens again.
The sandwich wasn’t as filled as another I like to frequently get. Very light on the fillings. I got a chicken sandwich– the chicken was dry, dry dry. Not flavorful and actually rather bland. The bread was not as fresh as it should be– no crispy exterior, instead the whole thing was more chewy.
Overall, hands down not acceptable for me. I’ve had far better from a place up the road.

I have been coming here since I was a little girl. My dad has always bought me pâté banh mi and it has been my favorite. I have tried it at other places even at lees sandwiches in California but nothing has ever come close to this. Hands down, my all time favorite banh mi stop.

Been coming here for many years! love the sandwiches and the boba. I must when on fed!

We ate today at the Dragon Boat races and were absolutely delighted by the pork sandwiches we got at Baker’s Palace. Crisp, fresh bread, wonderful smokey pork, and crunchy veggies made it the best Bahn Mi I have had in years. We are going to make sure we stop by their home store to get more.

Baker’s Palace is fucking legit. I can’t believe I didn’t review this place yet, I’ve bought their sandwhiches about 30 times or so and have only had 2 quality issues I can think of out of 60 or 90 sandwhiches over that time.
Friendly service from everyone, they speak English and it’s CLEAN. I highly recommend the #9 pork with extra veggies. The bread is on point, the veggies are fresh and the meat delicious. The Boba are average to good.
* This is the place I stop for food when I go hiking or snowboarding. They hold well and are still quite tasty after 4 hours in a lunch box.

Simply delicious bahn mi!
Fresh crunchy bread with soft inside, wonderful pork and crunchy veggies ad herbs. Choices are about $ 3 each and a great place to order to go

Baker’s Palace has fantastic Bahn Mi. The bread always has a nice outer crust, but soft and fresh in the center. They are extremely generous with their meat and veggies as well.
The prices are pretty affordable, $ 3.00– $ 3.50 for a sandwich. The bobas and desserts will run a bit more, but the prices are comparable to other places.
The staff is always friendly and offer recommendations. You can’t go wrong with these recommendations, they only time I have not liked what I ordered was when I tried something not recommended by the staff.

A great selection of bahn mi and boba smoothies. Friendly, fast service!

Oh noes! What happened? Did I come on an off day? This place used to be my favorite for banh mi. Great crusty bread. Yummy fillings and tons of pickled veggies to stuff inside.
I came here to get a take-​away order after being away for 6 years. The bread wasn’t as good, the veggies were missing (except in my veggie sandwich), and it just wasn’t as flavorful.
I“m not ready to break up with Baker’s Palace yet, but I will be shopping around, just in case.

I’ve been wanting to try banh mi for a very long time, and after asking around BP got the most votes so that’s where we went. I ordered the #9 which seems to be a favorite of this place and it was very tasty. The only thing I’d change would be that I’d add a little more meat with more sauce, as it was a bit dry — but it was good.
For the price, you can’t beat it. (2) of us each had a banh mi and shared a dessert and our total was $ 7 and change.
I’ll definately be going back and trying something new.

Best Banh Mi that I’ve had in Denver, hands down. They offer delicious (always fresh) bread, made into sandwiches super fast. I have never had a sandwich that wasn’t delicious, made with the freshest of ingredients. What is especially nice about Baker’s Palace is that a person probably cannot get through the door without a personal greeting and being approached by at least one employee interested in chatting. It’s small and easy to miss, but it really is a treasure– a diamond in the rough.

The best place to get authentic banh mi in Denver in my opinion. The bread is always fresh, the fillings are generous, and you can’t beat the prices. BP also offers tasty sticky rice and a wide assortment of varying desserts and baked goods that change from time to time.
I’m also amazed at how quickly they can crank out orders, even in the midst of the heavier rushes.
They recently renovated their shop, so there’s now a stand-​up counter along the entire front of the store for a convenient munch and run.

The sandwiches, banh mi, here are delicious. The bread is very flavorful, has the right consistency of crunch and chewy, without being flat or too dry. The selection of meats is pretty broad and each sandwich comes with a good sized amount including the traditional toppings.
Bakers Palace («BP») also sells very tasty glutinous rice dishes and steamed buns. They offer one steamed bun in particular that is filled with a hard boiled quail egg and a delicious spicy sweet pork meatball.
If you are not feeling the sandwich you should consider the glutinous rice topped with chicken, Chinese sausage, and green onion. Add a little soy sauce and Siracha and you will have a delicious, filling, and inexpensive meal.
For something sweet, try the glutinous rice balls with coconut cream sauce. Over two bites of chewy, not overly sweet, refreshing taste sensation.
Two sizable sandwiches, two steam buns, two Vietnamese summer rolls, one rice chicken and sausage, and one order of the coconut rice. All under $ 20.00.
If only BP was all over Denver. Replace every Quiznos with a BP and the world would be a remarkably better place.

Nom nom…
My SO likes to order more than 7 sandwiches at a time for just the two of us. It’s usually gone within 2 days. Baker’s Palace is a quaint little building off of Federal and if you don’t keep your eyes open, you might miss it. Inside they offer a visual menu of the different sandwiches you can order. I hear they use olive oil? Good prices, good sandwiches!

A Vietnamese friend told me about this place, and kept bringing their sandwiches into work, making me salivate and pant.
Finally, he brought me one. I have no idea which one. But it was freaking DEEEEE-​LISH!
The bread is perfect: Crusty yet yeasty goodness, with just enough give for a proper bite.
The toppings: Well. I don’t know. Definitely some porkish stuffs in there. There was a ham-​type. Definitely a roasted or boiled then sliced pork with a hint of 5-​Spice seasoning. There was a Pâté-​esque spread. It all melded together with the lightly pickled vegetables: Carrots, Radish, and Cucumbers. Oh, yeah, and who could forget the jalapenos?
Yeah, this is a good sandwich.
The Vietnamese Waffle they brought along, also my de-​virginizing experience, was pretty spiffy, too. I’d like to taste it warm, but the flavor and color (green!) were spot-​on.
Can’t wait to go back!

Not easy to find, but definitely hard to avoid!
Great Banh Mi for the right price…$ 2.75. Bring 10 of your friends to get some and you get a free one with the purchase of 10. They have all varieties. I personally have had the different pork ones (dig the #9) and the meatball (thats a spicy meatball!!) and was not let down at all.
I also ordered a watermelon drink (sans boba), which happens to be one of 40 different flavors they make. O-M-G…I saw the girl bring out a watermelon to cut up and was definitely intrigued. What I got was fresh watermelon slushy goodness. I wish they had a bigger size cause I could have drank that ALL DAY LONG! I look forward to getting different flavors.
There are other bahn mi places in town, and some of them might be good. And some of them might be cheap. This place, however, has it all the way you want it. Go there.

The freshest banh mi in town. They bake their items fresh and at that location. I recommend the charbroiled pork sandwich, the vietnamese iced coffee, the boba is soft and chewy in all the smoothies, and they do good Vietnamese dessert items. A must try for all who visit Denver. Don’t be misled by the Torta and Mexican type illustrations on the window.

Banh Mi. The perfect recession stress calming food. A perfectly crunchy exterior, soft and tasty interior french roll filled with the meats of your choice and a shredded pickled daikon and carrot relish with cilantro and jalapenos (when you order the #1 combination, you get three meats, one of which is head cheese, the other a ground pork, the third a salami like meat, and also a pâté’. Be adventurous! Eat like you’re not afraid! The flavors may reward you!) for $ 2.75 including tax! I must confess my loyalties to the place that busted my banh mi cherry over 15 years ago which is the Vinh Xuong bakery up the street but after consulting with a couple of my favorite Vietnamese foodie/​waiter friends at our favorite phở joints, I knew I had to try Palace (as it was called by them). They didn’t steer me wrong, this place has great banh mi and the people there are very nice. My only minor sniggle would be the strong MSG aftertaste coming I assume from the pickled veggies but I think my MSG radar has become almost too sensitive.
5.5 out of 10… and the delicious #1 combo inedible? whatever…

Bakers Palace’s Bahn Mi sandiches were listed as one of the 100 must eats in Denver recently, so I gave it a shot:
Rating: 5.5 (out of 10)
The Skinny: For the uninitiated, Bahn Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich made with a small baguette. There are usually a host of varieties available, and at Bakers Palace, I think there were about 10 options to choose from. When I make a «best value» list, these Vietnamese sandwiches will be on it. At $ 2.75 per sandwich, you feel as though you’re buying it in Saigon with American dollars. The bread was great — crusty yet soft — I could hear the crackle when I squeezed the sandwich in my hands. The filling (on the #9) was decent: Pork, cucumber, carrots, cilantro, onions, etc. It all tasted fresh and crisp. Nothing earth shattering I’d say, but slightly above average.
One word of caution: Choose wisely. At that price, I tried 2 sandwiches: the #9, and the #1. The #9 was pretty decent. The #1…inedible.
I’ve got a picture of what it looks like up on the blog in my profile

If like me you subscribe to the belief that a crummy looking place on the inside has just as much potential to be a winner as a nice looking place, then you are off to a good start with Baker’s Palace. You’d never mistake this place for a Palace…
I’ve learned that when you are in Italy, ask the locals. In this case I was on Federal Blvd eating Vietnamese eating @ my favorite place in Denver, New Saigon, when I had the idea to ask our waiter where he liked to get «Bánh mì» which are Vietnamese sandwiches made on French Baguettes. I had watched a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain’s «No Reservations» where he revisits Vietnam and on that episode, he pigs out on Bánh mì.
So the waiter pointed me to a place only one block up, Bakers Palace. Had it not been recommended, I would never had stopped.
Am I glad that I did. They were out of the Pork Bánh mì so I got the #1, the combo which was basically ham and cold cuts type sliced meat. Wow, it was delicious! And only $ 2.75!
My kids got a cake sampler that they liked. I will definitely be going back to check this place out!
