Bui Phong Bakery

All their bread is the best!Service is fast and clean.It's only to go, parking can be tough but double park and fall in line and next thing you know you're back in the car and eating bread!

This is not a walk in store. It's their commercial kitchen. I came on a Saturday around 10am and there was no wait. I was looking for a baguette but was told they don't have any, they were all made for delivery but most people come here for their French rolls aka bolillo so I got 2 for $1.40. They were still warm and crispy. I took a bite and I liked the crispy exterior. It was also a fairly large roll.

Their croissants are AMAZING and huge! I got their classic butter croissants, chocolate croissant, and their turkey, cheese, and jalapeno croissant. So buttery and flavorful! I enjoy that there is structure to it so if you want to dip it in tea/coffee you can, make a sandwich you can, etc. These croissants are not your typical fall apart/crumble everywhere on your kind of croissant. These have buttery layers with integrity to them. Their chocolate croissant has mini morsels melted throughout the inside which gives it a perfect amount of sweetness. The turkey, jalapeno, and cheese croissant is my absolute favorite!!! It has the perfect balance of butteriness, a little sweetness, and savoriness!!! I will definitely be back to try their fresh bread and for more croissants!!!

This is the best banh mi bread around. My mother is a Vietnamese war refugee who landed in the Midwest during the late 1970's. For over 40 years, she had not tasted traditional banh mi bread. My parents fortunately relocated to the Bay Area after my sister and I established careers here. After I discovered Bui Phong, I knew I had to share this bread with my mom. Now, whenever I have a chance, I pick up baguettes and/or rolls for my mom so she can make banh mi and have it on the side of her curry at home. I can see her light up whenever I bring her this bread, and it warms my heart to be able to bring an authentic taste of Vietnam back into her life. Keep up the great work, Bui Phong Bakery!

Very average banh mi breads for sale, mostly wholesale to local shops but absolutely Nothing special

Ok first of all if you need sandwich bread this is the spot to get it! I would eat it everyday if I could and just about any other product they offer is remarkable. The service is quick and sincere as well as outstanding 5/5 stars.

Our Oakland flight was delayed. Got there at 5:30am and the smell of baked bread and croissants were amazing. The uncles working there are cheerful and welcoming. Love seeing the younger men alongside them working and protecting the business. Best croissants-huge and buttery. If you're there early and lucky enough, you can get the ham and cheese, chocolate etc. Bread is bomb. Perfect for making banh mi. Love and support!

Come early in order to try their filled croissants- they were already out of everything by 11:30am on a Friday. There were only butter croissants and baguettes left during that time. Bui Phong is located off the beaten path, and you'll need to make sure you follow Waze. They have a counter you order at, and they package your items for you. I tried:-Croissant ($1.50, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oSHGm9iDLOJ00H9RWTzN6A&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): GIGANTIC croissant! It looks like it could be overbaked, but it's still soft and fluffy in the middle. It wasn't as buttery or flaky as I prefer, but it was still a solid croissant for the price. Worth trying once, and great for sandwiches!-Small Baguette (2/$1, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kkKIzTf3VTp6AdvIaBcUgg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid baguette, and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside- Recommended!Service is no-frills and efficient. As other Yelpers have mentioned, this isn't the nicest neighborhood, and I would recommend coming during their morning/afternoon hours. Parking is also difficult to find in this area, but there were a few street parking spots available.

My husband and I were in Oakland early in the day. I asked him to go to Bui Phong to buy fresh bahn mj bread. I didn't realize that they only take cash. I only had two dollars on that day. When we were in line we were hearing people just say 5 dollars and they get a big bag of bread. So when it came my turn I handed them my two dollars and I got 3 breads which was nice and crispy. It was really good! I was under the impression that they only take cash, but I was corrected which is great!!

This place is surprisingly basic but has excellent croissants! As you can see from the menu, they only sell a few items but do them well. The croissants are dense and huge, at least an adult face size and the flavor is just as good as Costco ones.We were here early Sunday and there was a line. The location is a bit sketchy but the service was fast so it was fine.
