Bit more decent than average banh mi you get from anywhere. I Had crisps pork roll with iced coffee for my lunch. Portion was good enough and overall bread roll was meeting basic of banh mi very well. I was queuing from even outside but que was going really quickly because there were enough staff. Bread was fresh with nice crunchy outer skin. Wouldn’t say no to going back to get another one only if I’m already around. These days I’m fixed on banh mi and I’m traveling all the way to find the best place.

I had most expensive $10 Vietnamese ham roll. And $10minimum credit card is such old fashion. If you really wanna visit here don’t forget to bring cash:( Also, I have been to South Melbourne and Collingwood stores many times, they are all different prices but they never cost $10 for ham roll, it’s usually $8 - $8.5. (Collingwood one could be cheaper.) Nothing special about here anymore. I would get a $10 bowl of noodle from the shop nearby. I won’t come back. Avoid this dishonest shop.

This is my favourite Bahn Mi place in the CBD. The bread is freshly baked at the premises and really makes the rolls. The place always has a really long line, but even at its peak you would be waiting around for about 10 mins. They are certainly a well-oiled machine and get things done super efficiently. Not a huge fan of their sweets but their rolls, schnitzels and spring rolls are outstanding. Great place if you want to spend around $10 for lunch

I am really not sure what’s so special about N Lee. The line was long but thankfully moved very quickly. I ordered a grilled pork roll expecting grilled pork marinated with lemongrass type grilled pork but what I got was so crappy BBQ pork. The sauce doesn’t taste like the normal Vietnamese sauce, I couldn’t even detect the pate. Nothing like the viet sandwiches I have in Richmond, footscray etc.

The king of bahn-mi - if you're patient enough to wait in the quick moving queue you'll be treated to the perfect split baguette laden with your filling of choice, crunchy salad, Vietnamese pate and of course the extra fresh chilli if you want it. The flavour explosion is worth the messiness that's inevitable - try the lean chicken, it's something else!

Great lunchtime Banh Mi rolls. Fresh, crisp bread and delicious fillings. Consistently raising their prices while under filling the rolls and charging extra for additional coriander is very disappointing. If there was a better Banh Mi shop this side of the city, i'd not hesitate to switch; sadly there is not.

Great coffee, friendly staff, and fast service. The rolls are baked fresh on premise, and the staff are very efficient. Queues at lunch time usually go out the door, so better to come slightly earlier or later than standard lunch time. Also not too many seats inside, so it's more of a take-away cafe.

Great place for an office lunch. Keep your order simple ( bahn mi) and you wont be dissapointed. There is always a line at peak lunch times (between 1130 and 130) so if possible try and get here early. The iced jam doughnut here is one of the best in Melbourne.

N Lee Bakery Cafe is a ripper of a place to get delicious fresh Banh MI, the Buns are Baked fresh daily and have a beautifully crusty exterior and a lovely soft centre, all the ingredients used are absolutely top notch. I Highly Recommend N Lee Bakery Cafe.

Good spot to visit for a quick lunch. Don't worry if there is a line it does move fast. The Viet pork rolls are super tasty. Coffee is good too. I have been here a few times now when i'm in the city for lunch. Have even taken a few work colleagues here too.

Me and friend had the crispy roast pork banh mih with crackling,it was good.Bread was alright,could have been little bit crispier otherwise it's all good.Bit expensive than other places though

Very disappointed with the stale bread received a few ming ago in banh mi. Looks like the bread is old and from fridge.. went in for lunch yest for the same banmi, it was very tasty and now for brekkie its stale. Dont open if u are going to serve old food.

Good service and food is tasty. Food to go is the best option for those who like to linger ( 10 customers instore at a time) I found myself counting heads while I was eating ( my own fault, staff and other customers didn't give out any negative vibes)

My go to for the authentic Vietnamese Banh Mi! Full of flavours, very tasty, using lots of fresh ingredients. Service is prompt and staff are nice. Price is decent as well. Highly recommended for a to go quick bite (breakfast & lunch)

Excellent fresh tofu Vietnamese roll (Banh Mi) and nice soy coffee. It's a poorly kept secret though. The line is always out the door at lunch. Fast service keeps things moving though. Expect 10 minutes from queuing to eating.

Though it says dine-in there was limited provision for dining at the cafe. Staff were not friendly and stand-offish when asked for plates and cutlery they seemed irritable. Not a good ambience and a disappointing experience.

N Lee makes the most delicious & freshest Banh Mi with crunchy rolls. You can also get very satisfying strong & smooth coffee here (skim milk is also available)..All with a kind & friendly smile from N Lee, the man himself.

Delicious offering and good quality at a reasonable price, only drawback is that the place is so popular that the queue to get in snakes around the block at busy times and nearly impossible to score a table to eat-in.

Just found this place today , FRESH FRESH FRESH is the only way to describe the rolls and pastries , also the coffee was sensational . The pricing I have to say was very reasonable , this place was beautiful 5 STARS .

Pre COVID I was smashing 5 of these breaky rolls a week, 10/10. I think the ancient cast iron skillet is responsible for the great taste. I've since moved to regional Vic but still dream of these every other day.

Hiding the amount charged from customers while illegally and secretly charging 30 cents for eftpos is so deliberately and knowingly scummy. The look on her face when I asked for the receipt was almost worth it.

Great roll. Had pork crackling roll yesterday and today. Yesterday it was really crackling, today it was more like pork belly and no crackling. I will definatley go back though coz the flavours were there.

$ Had a quick breakfast roll and coffee. Both reasonable, no frills, no nonsense Vietnamese bakery. Good for a quick bite on the go. Their Bahn Mi seems a favourite - may have to go back for a quick lunch.

Still the best banh mi out there in my opinion, even after all this time

The banh mi was really good, pie has great crust too. I love the tastes because it has a lot of spice Donut was just ok No wait on a weekday brunch They have a 10 bucks breakfast deal with drink too

Pretty good banh mi. But it can be hit or miss at times. Sometimes they are hot, other times they are cold. I’m guessing maybe it’s depending on the time of the day but the hot banh mi are a 5/5.

Bahn mi that’s tastes like Vietnam. The food is fresh. Knocked off 1 star because it’s hard to get understood by the staff and there is no ambiance. It’s more of a take out place. Would go back.

I've been coming back for 5 years. Incredible food and some of the best Vietnamese rolls I've had in Melbourne. Buns are freshly baked and still hot when you order at lunch. Friendly staff

Great bahn I’m with a wide range of selections.

Awesome place for a great Banh Mi. Line can get long but staff are quick so you don't end up waiting too long. I go here for lunch multiple times a week. Top notch.

BBQ chicken Bahn Mi - popped in at 3pm and the ingredients where still fresh and delicious. Messy to eat but worth it. Great balance of texture and flavors!

Chicken schnitzel sandwich/bahn-mi is my favorite. It’s quite convenient as a lot of staff are there to attend and they get the food ready in a few minutes.

Very glad to see the bakery still kicking on after covid. Happy to provide 5 stars, but also please ignore my review as the line is already long some days!

Great food but I was charged $6.10 for an iced coffee which was basically all ice. A little annoying paying the price of two coffees for a block of ice.

Amazing bread, fillings, banh mi, hot dogs and more! Expect a queue but the efficiency of the staff means the line moves quickly. You have to go here!!

Best Vietnamese rolls i've had. Ended up having two crispy pork and crackling $9.5 and BBQ pork. Tasty Vietnamese iced coffee too …

Love it! Awesome tasting crispy pork banh mi. The bread roles are fresh az. Delish-az quality foods overall! Staff are super efficient and friendly.

Still very reasonable price for coffee for Melbourne, our go to bakery for morning breakfast or a rush pick up on the way to work, friendly staff

Bacon, egg and cheese roll is on point! Hard to beat when you need to kick off the day. Coffee isn't the best, but hey, the rolls are legit.

Great coffee, great food! Highly recommend this place, everything is fresh & Customer service is fantastic Will be returning …

I've been having coffee's there for years and I'm always happy with the quality and their friendly service. The rolls are great too.

Best bahn mi in the CBD! No question about it. The spring rolls are killer too. Great service, lovely staff, get the crispy pork!

delicious food, fresh ingredients! quick serve time and was overall a good experience, glad i went here on my melbourne trip

5/5 Five croissants out of five croissants! Lovely sir with a nice display of food and tasty banana bread …

The banh mi is just as authentic as being in Vietnam. I definitely recommend the meatball banh mi... …

I didn't get any crackle which is a bit annoying but I trust it would have been nice. Food was delicious still.

Fantastic Top Banh Mi Joint in town. They bake their own bread and the Pork Belly is remarkable …

Delicious Banh Mi, bread texture very nice, but size is pretty small, and the amount of meat is pretty little

My favourite cafe. The best egg, bacon and cheese roll for breakfast. The coffee is good too. Good price too.

N Lee do a tasty Banh Mi. They're often busy at lunchtime (in normal times) but they're quick and efficient.

I love the meatloaf banhmi here, wish there was a double pate option to make it even more savoury …

Legit place. Already one of my fav lunch options. You do have to queue but it's worth it. Get a banh mi.

Best banh mi and spring rolls. Good selection of drinks. Very efficient staff. Yum, so glad it’s open.

the most delicious pork roll i’ve eaten. very flavoursome and fresh, just the best. highly recommend!!

Yum! Great banh mis! Fresh and stuffed with lots of fillings. One of the best I’ve had in Melbourne.

Go weekly for Egg & Bacon roll + Coffee breakfast special. Staff friendly and food and coffee OK.

Best Bahn Mi in Melbourne! Best to come in the mornings when the bread is still fresh and warm!

I’m so depressed and my psychologist prescribed me 1x grilled pork roll w chilli. Now I’m cured

the best bahn mi. highly recommend bbq chicken with no coriander or chilli. freshly baked buns

Food is good, but they can work on improving coffee. The barista burnt the milk of my coffee.

The bread is fantastic, the correct balance between being crispy and soft. Very fresh too.

Affordable lunch option into the area! Great place to grab a bann mi! Consistently good

Hands down best mixed ham banh mi!
