Ba Le Vietnamese Bakery & Deli

8624 N. Lamar, 491-9188

Thu-Tue, 8am-8pm

Ba Le is at the top of the Vietnamese bakery heap, with extraordinary baguettes and baked sweets. They also produce some of the finest sandwiches, of any kind, in the entire city (and at some of the least expensive prices!). Try the gourmet, meatball, pork roll, or the chicken for a fast taste treat. Ba Le has a number of soups and noodle dishes, and the sesame beef jerky (available by the bag as well) and shredded papaya salad plate can’t be missed. Ba Le does a tasty version of Vietnamese pork pté as well, wrapped and ready to go right by the register.
