Cam Huong Bakery

Good place to buy banh mi in the area. The nice gentleman and lady here are super nice. My go to is their combo and you can request to put the veggies on the side, and cut the sandwich in half if you're not going to eat them right away. This helps when you heat them in your toaster oven so you can add the veggies after. They also sell ready made Vietnamese drink desserts like the Three Red beans. They have other bakery good like cookies, croissants and more. All in all, good local hole in the wall in the heart of Chinatown. Cheers!

Been around for 23 years so they're doing something right! Definitely a little hole in the wall. Their baked goods don't look appealing to me at all, but the banh mi sandwiches are really good and clearly their main thing. We got BBQ chicken and BBQ pork. The French roll was super fresh and the flavors of both sandwiches were great. Good place for a quick, cheap lunch when you're in Chinatown.

yummy sandwich and iced coffee. Was Done in 5 minutes. I got the meat pate combo. They don't have the fancy grilled chicken rolling in the back or the carved pork but that's why it's not $22 but $12.

Gotta come for the pork buns , croissants and hot dog buns. All the food was yummy! The price is wonderful but I need to return to try the bah mi! Cool staff not the most ambiance but for the price it was a wonderful experience!!!!!

Not much I talk about the Vietnamese café in the East Bay since it's a bit larger than the one in the Tenderloin. It's brilliant to see how these plastic wrapped packaged foods were set in perfect harmony. I feel I might come back here once again since my brother was so interested. I expect our phone call with the staff members will turn out smoothly for the next visit. Say we shall have banh mí sandwiches without jalapeños. Let's hope Cam Huong Bakery do just as well as other Vietnamese cafés do throughout the East Bay.

I stopped by for che because I recently had some really good che from somewhere else. The kind I was craving was the fruity kind (with lychee, longan, jackfruit). But the version they had here did not have any fruits. There was coconut milk (thick), pandan jelly, peanuts, red+green beans, many other beans, I think sago (but clumped together). If you're into beans this one is beans heaven, but sadly not for me. I got about a quarter into the cup and found it too sweet. I won't get the che here again, but the bottled pennywort drink was good, although a little less sweet would have been better for my taste. There is a $10 minimum if you are using a card for payment.

Came here to try the sandwiches. I ordered the grilled chicken, the ham combo and the vegetarian as the lemongrass tofu was out. The sandwiches are ok, it hits the spot for the banh mi craving. Sandwiches are $7.00 each, still ok in terms of prices. The vegetarian one was ok, wished that there were more tofu in it, my daughter had the grilled chicken and she said the chicken was dry. Friendly worker, easy location.

I've been working at a health center in Oakland Chinatown for 2 years now, and this place always does the job when I want a good Vietnamese coffee to help me get through the day. Honestly, the coffee is like magic! Cam Huong Bakery is a small shop on the corner of Webster and 11th Street, and it opens pretty early so I really love how it's conveniently there if I need that morning boost when I'm at work for 8 hours or more. The family that runs the spot is really nice and always and swift when making drinks or banh mi. I'll warn that the banh mi is a little pricey here (around $5), but considering that it's in Oakland, it makes sense in comparison to somewhere like San Jose where Vietnamese food is in abundance. Beyond the convenience and customer service, ever since protests in recent months, the shop has put up beautiful signs in support of Black Lives, which I personally think is pretty dope considering the signs are in different languages. It's a good thing to know the family is coming from a space of Afro-Asian solidarity!

Food's good. Coffee's alright. I like the prices and the service is all right. Ambiance is ok. I wished there were more chairs, but I'm not the expert on that. I ordered a couple of their sandwiches a few times. He encouraged me to try the tofu, but I like the meat better and I liked that he didn't pressure me to do it.

Unbelievable that so many people gave this place a good rating. I never ever wished Karma on any vendor on yelp. This will be my first, and probably the last.Was in Oakland for a business errand. First time in the city. Saw this Asian bakery and decided to give it a try.This middle-age/old man behind the counter looked very friendly and said the BBQ buns are freshly made. I bought a few, and yes, they were warm to the touch. But, when I left and went back to my car to start eating them, I realized that the crust/bun was actually dry and stale. Yes, they probably re-heated leftovers from before. And, the filling was RANCID. BBQ tasted SOUR, and smelled fermented. This is absolutely unethical in my opinion. I took a second bite only to make sure I wasn't imagining the sour taste and I smelled it up close to my nose. It was definitely leftovers that had gone bad. That was it, my stomach started churning and...I also bought 3 mooncakes. As I had to rush to attend to my errand, I didn't check the receipt until I left the area. In total, the bill came up to $25++. HOW? I asked for a receipt but all he printed out was the total bill. He did not itemize the purchases.This place is not only unhygienic, it's unethical. I tried the mooncake after I got home. Stale, as expected. Well, $25++ is not a big sum of money for me. But for him, to sell his integrity and human decency for that small amount, I'd say, it's just pathetic.
