About Us

---

Banh Mate is an Australian-born Vietnamese bánh mì shop, with our first store opening in the heart of Melbourne’s Chinatown.

At the heart of Banh Mate are two Vietnamese favourites we are proud to share — Bánh Mì and Cà Phê Phin. Alongside our freshly made bánh mì, we serve vermicelli bowls, rice paper rolls, Vietnamese sides and refreshing drinks, all made for an easy, satisfying takeaway experience in the city.

Our food stays close to the Vietnamese flavours we know and love. What gives Banh Mate its own personality is the way we present it — bright, welcoming and full of energy, with a brand inspired by both our Vietnamese roots and the Australian home we are proud to be part of.

Our focus is simple: Quality, Genuine Customer Service and Consistency.

We believe good food is not only about how it tastes. It is about using quality ingredients, preparing every order with care, welcoming people warmly and making sure the experience is just as good the next time they come back.

Whether you are grabbing a bánh mì on your lunch break, picking up a Cà Phê Phin on the way to work, or ordering lunch for the office, we want Banh Mate to be somewhere you can rely on.

Our Logo unites three defining symbols: 

The Koala, representing Australia’s friendly and easygoing spirit; the Nón Lá, honouring Vietnamese heritage; and the Bánh Mì, the heart of the brand. Together, they tell the story of two cultures coming together through great food, warm hospitality and the spirit of Mateship.
