Banh Mi & Che Cali is a bustling bakery in Little Saigon. It's got a factory of employees constantly restocking the shelves with warm, flaky pastries that sell faster than you can blink.
The piles of coconut cookies, red bean-filled buns, baguettes, banana and durian cakes, mini doughnuts and sticky rice wrapped in coconut leaves make this small shop smell like a buttery croissant. All the treats have long Vietnamese names like "Banh Deo La Dua Sau." Good luck trying to get someone to translate for you, but half the fun is the mystery. Seeing as everything is no more than a few dollars you can pick up a pu pu platter of tastes without worrying about breaking the bank.
Just be prepared to push through aggressive crowds of Vietnamese immigrants with cash in hand if you ever want to place your order; politely waiting in the back won't get you anywhere.
