Vietlicious Bakery is a nice find for affordable and delicious Vietnamese banh mi in the haystack of overpriced lunch spots in the SLU area. I went in at 12:15 and was out by 12:20, if that ain't quick service idk what is lol. I bought the combo banh mi with pork and chicken and it hit the spot. The sandwich price point was $12-something after tax and that is super affordable considering what other options are available in the immediate area. The interior is well-kept with lots of seating, and the bakery sells Vietnamese baked goods as well as boba and açaí which I have not tried. I'll be back as this will be in my rotation of lunch spots fasho
Like everybody else said, this place closed and reopen so many times, it was R&B last time i went which was 1-2 years ago. I only noticed it changed to Vietlicious last week. I went online and checked out the menu. I was happy they serve BanhMi so I decided to try it today. I ordered it online for picked up at 1130am. When i got there at 1125am, my order was ready and service was quick. I had Pork sandwich with Vietnamese coffee. The bun was warm and crispy, the pork was very tasty. I am happy to find this place now and I tried lots of different BanhMi in Seattle, I think this one is one of the few I really like. I work in downtown area so hopefully this place stay open for long time. Ohh...and the Vietnamese iced coffee is also really good. Next time I will try their Thai Tea!
Pork bahn mi was bomb af. Cost $11.00. Will definitely be back. Service was also fast.
This place is always closing and reopening under new ownership so hopefully this time business goes well! Despite "bakery" being in the name, this place doesn't have that many baked goods and it's more like a boba shop with Vietnamese food. The drinks are pretty good and the food is also tasty and reasonably priced. The food here is solid and the portion sizes are generous. Both the vermicelli bowl and banh mi were fresh and flavorful with a bunch of meats and veggies. The drinks are also good which is nice since there's not really another good boba shop in the downtown area. The Vietnamese coffee had a strong kick and was nicely sweetened. The taro slush was smooth and creamy with a subtle taro flavor and the boba was sweet and chewy. The one thing I didn't care for was the pastries. They look so nice but the cream cake I got was dry and flavorless. Sometimes they don't even have pastries so maybe they only make pastries on a certain day, and if you get them later in the week, they're stale. It seems like this place is still trying to figure out their vibe, but I think it's worth giving a chance.
After a week of ogling the pastries on my walk back from work I finally stopped in for a treat! The person working was very friendly. I got a slice of cake and jasmine milk tea to take home snd share, and both were great. The cake was clearly fresh -- juicy fruit, light meringue, and soft cake. I wasn't expecting much from the milk tea but was pleasantly surprised by the strong jasmine flavor and good sweetness level (not too sweet!). I'll definitely be back to try their banh mis sometime for lunch, and try their other beautiful pastries!
I finally succumbed to temptation and stopped in today for a tofu Banh Mi sandwich. I received quick and friendly service and a delicious lunch. Presumably due to the number of vegans wandering about Seattle and the fact that I had ordered a veggie version, they double checked to confirm whether I wanted mayo, and again to ask about something that sounded like "pork mayo". Not sure what that is or if I heard right, but yes please! They also double checked that I wanted jalapeños on my sandwich - again a big yes. Brought my Banh Mi back to work to enjoy and found the bread perfectly toasted and the sandwich generously filled with all the good stuff including crisp match sticked carrots. The price was $12 including tip which I think is very reasonable in this economy and in the heart of downtown. The shop is very simple but includes several tables and chairs for dine-in option, and located directly next door to Nordstrom on one side and Evergreens on the other side felt entirely safe. I will definitely return.
