“ They are always so sweet and welcoming when we come to dine in. My bf and i actually are becoming regulars with how much we like this place. Their prices are so refreshing too for the quantity and quality received. We tried the desserts for the first time after our meal and we LOVED them. I got the "French style" cheesecake w a lil walnut and it's delicious! My bf got the Jesuit Breakfast Napoleon which was AMAZING. The filling inside was so good and warm. I'm ashamed to not have gotten the managers name cause she was awesome as well. Thank you for the recommendations! ”
“ I was waiting for my order next door from Nguyen's kitchen and happened to check their desserts. Just visiting the area and I did not know that they offer pho. The lady who helped was nice, helpful and friendly. Tried their desserts....very good especially their mousse dome...check it out and for sure I will check their pho soup when I come back! ”
“ The food here is wide ranging for all kinds of palates. Even if some may not be as used to viet food as others, there will be something that Beyond the Baguette offers that will satisfy everyone. The pho choices are simple yet scale up with premium choices, the salads are tasty and filling, and the pastries. Oh the pastries.. they seem very much made in house. If they are not, then a local bakery does it. They all look hand made and not mass produced like store bought. This place will always be a solid choice when looking for lunch or dinner. The wait staff was kind and accommodating, and food came out quickly. ”
“ Been eyeing to check out this place and I'm glad I finally did. The ambiance gave off a fine dining/upscale feeling which I enjoyed immensely from the 'typical' Vietnamese restaurant. The prices are AMAZINGLY fair for a nice normal food portion. I had the chicken porridge and had a taste of my partner's pho. Very flavorful broth. The spring rolls we're sooo tasty with that faaantastic dipping sauce. I highly recommend stopping by Beyond the Baguette! ”
“ Our Server THAO was fantastic.. She described how all the Baguette Bread and Pastry (PEAR) / (Pineapple) are made fresh DAILY!! We ordered the Banh Mi Sandwiches (Pork and Chicken) and a bowl of Pho for a late lunch they were Excellent!! “I did not want the sandwich to end” Try Beyond the Baguette for a quick bite, romantic spot, or if you want to RENT out for your next EVENT - Christmas Party or Wedding Reception They do catering as well....We will be back - Thank You ”
“ I loved the food, the service and the ambience of this place. Really good vegan options. Quantity of servings are great and perfectly priced. ”
“ Ambience, food and service Great!! Our server Vi was very nice. Will recommend to friends and relatives. ”
“ This restaurant serves up delicious traditional Vietnamese food at surprisingly low cost - the Bahn Mi sandwiches are made fresh to order on rolls baked daily in the shop and are only 5! I've tried something different every time I've gone and always been surprised at how good they can make a dish that I've had so many times at so many other restaurants! Despite the budget pricing the presentation of their meals rivals that of the most high end restaurants and the atmosphere couldn't be better (quiet, clean and laid back). Also, their customer service is top notch - last night after dinner the owner / chef personally came out to thank us for visiting and gave us a free desert of our choice! I definitely recommend this place for any occasion. ”
