Bale French Sandwiches

I was looking for some strong coffee and this popped up. Not even going to lie, I didn't think the coffee would be good, but I saw some reviews and decided to give it a chance. I ordered their Vietnamese coffee and was pretty disappointed that the cup wasn't full... but GIRLLLL let me tell you. You DON'T want it full because that stuff is STRONG. I went home and added more ice because your girl was wiredddd. The man was nice and sweet. I left then I drove back in five minutes because the food looked amazing. So far I've only tried their sesame balls, but I'm going to try their banh it tran, banh bot loc, banh cuon, and banh bo nuong tonight. I'll report back after giving them a try, but so far they look BOMB. Also, parking is great. No worries on that.

Pretty decent banh mi overall. Small but cheap at 6.25, very affordable bite sized sandwich. BBQ Pork Spread was a little different from usual but maybe I'm just uncultured. I wish protein servings were a little more but in this economy? I understand.Small, cozy interior and very fast service. Definitely come here if your usual Sunday lunch spot is packed.

You can order party trays of popular Vietnamese appetizers here such as Banh Bao, Spring Rolls, Fried Rolls & more.They have a variety of Bahn Mis & I always get BBQ Pork. They also have Sardines, Eggs, Chicken & more.BBQ Pork: The baguette was crispy on the outside & soft in the inside, perfect! However, the BBQ Pork tasted a bit sweet? & I like it to be more on the savory side. & it was more chewy than I liked too.

Tried this place out for the first time and their banh mi was really solid! Got the BBQ Pork Banh Mi and everything tasted fresh. The sandwich is a little bit on the smaller side, buts it's priced at $6.25 so it's not a bad deal. It might just not make you full.Their service was really kind & efficient. It's a pick-up/to go place so nowhere to sit down, but you can call ahead and pick up! I really like the fresh bread on the banh mi!

I ordered some catering and sandwiches from Bale for a work lunch last week and it was a hit. I ordered a mix of sandwiches cut in half, a tray of shrimp fresh spring rolls, a tray of pork spring rolls, a tray of chicken egg rolls and some sesame balls for dessert. It was affordable, fresh and ready on time.You get dipping sauce for the spring rolls, but have to pay $5 for sauce for the egg rolls which doesn't really make sense but not a huge extra expense.

I wish I had a picture of the banh mi I got here, because it was one of the best I've ever had. Bale French Sandwiches is a small shop in the corner of a shopping center in Mira Mesa. It doesn't have tables or seating, but the line out the door will tell you everything you need to know about the food that they serve. This little shop has killer sandwiches, banh mi, and even a variety of delicious fruit smoothies. It's easy to pop in, order your food, and head out, and the workers there will all help you out with smiles on their faces and a demeanor that really makes this spot feel like you're getting the most authentic, "home-made" food. Flavors in everything are delicious too, which really drives that feeling home. While I do wish there was room to sit, savor, and enjoy, Bale French Sandwiches still establishes itself as a perfect place for a delicious grab and go meal.

Upon walking in, the place is pretty small and they have a few drink, dessert, and side options. There's a little waiting bench but no area to sit and enjoy your banh mi. It's cute and clean. As for the banh mi itself, the bread is crispy yet fluffy, I really enjoyed it. I will say, they kind of skimp on the filling for the sandwich. I want my banh mi to have a generous amount of carrot and daikon, and mine just didn't have enough. I also asked for extra jalapeños and there were only 3 little slices in there.The prices are really fair so I can't complain about that! 3 sandwiches cost us just a little over $20. Overall, I liked Bale French-- didn't love.

Very impressive Banh Mi sandwich here at Bale French Sandwiches! Their price is unbeatable, all the Banh mi are under $6.5, and their size aren't too small. It's like a 6 inch sandwich, perfect for one person. The sandwich has a lot of stuff inside, it's filled with veggies and meat. I ordered a BBQ pork and a beef Banh mi, both are awesome. I highly recommend this place, plus their service is so friendly!

It's a counter serve spot. Quick in and out. Bbq pork is excellent banh mi. Great bread to filling ratio. Tofu veggie had very little tofu though. Sour sop Boba was perfect. Not sweet

Got an avocado smoothie here. Tasted it and I knew right away that this drink is just blended avocado powder. I put it in the fridge and it did not change color the next day. Real avocado will turn brown in the fridge by the next day. One week later and the drink is now a darker green yellow color but certainly not dark brown or black like how real avocados will turn after a week in the fridge. The taste of the drink is the same as the first day so that is another sign this drink is just blended powder. I am real skeptical what they put in their other drinks but I ain't wasting money to try.Edit to respond to comment: yep, I have blended the ingredients you stated for years and it always oxidizes. The drinks at all other legitimate shops selling fresh avocado smoothies oxidizes and turns brown the next day. Fresh/frozen blended avocado will always turn brown the next day. I just left your avocado drink out in room temperature overnight and it still did not change colors lol.
