Why Choose VN Bakery?

VN Bakery in Southport delivers the standout crispy pork bánh mì that locals return for repeatedly, backed by substantial bowl sizes and quick, attentive service at lunch. The menu extends well beyond banh mi to pies, rice paper rolls, and Vietnamese noodle soups, making it a genuine all-round bakery and eatery rather than a one-item stop.

About VN Bakery

VN Bakery in Southport, on the Gold Coast, is a Vietnamese bakery and eatery where you can eat in or take away. It's the kind of spot people drop into for a banh mi at lunch, though the menu runs well beyond that.

Along with the pork rolls, there are pies, sausage rolls and rice paper rolls in the cabinet, and noodle soups from the kitchen. The beef pho gets a mention for being a little different from the usual: the beef comes cooked rather than raw, and the herbs and sprouts go in the bowl before it reaches the table. One local says the portions are big enough that a regular bowl is a struggle to finish. Another, on a hunt for a good bun bo Hue around the Gold Coast, found the spicy beef soup well balanced and not too hot, though the grilled pork rice paper rolls were a bit plain inside. Brunch, lunch and coffee are all on offer, there are vegetarian options, and it suits families with kids.

Getting in and paying is easy. There's free street parking nearby, a wheelchair-accessible car park, entrance and seating, and they take cards and mobile payments.

We should be upfront that opinion is mixed. Some people have had quick, fresh food and friendly service and rate the banh mi highly. Others have been put off by blunt service and by charges for extras like extra spread or a change to the fillings. If you're particular about how your roll is made, say so when you order. Chilli can come standard on a banh mi, so ask for it left off if you prefer things mild.

It's open most days, with shorter hours on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
