545° Banh Mi Cafe

545° Bánh Mì Café is a casual Vietnamese sandwich shop located in Davie, next to Foodtown, a very popular international market. The specialty here is banh mi. 545° makes their own Vietnamese-style baguettes, which are softer and not as crusty as the French variety, and you can purchase small or large baguettes to take home (they’re great with a stinky cheese). But there is so much more to explore here than just sandwiches.

545° has a great selection of to-go boxed meals, including summer rolls, rice paper salad, steamed pork buns, and rice and grilled meat plates. There are also a variety of sweets, like coconut rice dumplings and puffed rice crackers. However, do not leave without grabbing a few things from the refrigerator, like the chè thái—a glass of sweet coconut milk “soup” with chewy tapioca noodles, basil seeds, sweet beans, and fruit, including lychees and longans. A cup of lightly sweet Vietnamese steamed flan is also a great choice and a perfect light dessert. We also love the Vietnamese yogurt made with sweetened condensed milk that puts any supermarket yogurt cup to absolute shame.
