Exceptional food & the best coffee - very kind staff!

Came down from Edinburgh and stopped by Ban Me in Boxpark—easily one of the best banh mi I’ve had. The bread was perfectly crisp, the fillings super fresh, and the flavors were spot on. Totally worth the visit.

The beef stew is absolutely amazing, tender and flavourful. The choice of meat is also fantastic

Best Banh mi i’ve found in London! Was like being back in Vietnam finally!

My favourite sandwich place in Croydon, hands down. A gem in the Croydon boxpark. I’ve tried their char Sui baguette and their signature beef patty baguette, both are so good. I can’t wait to try the other items on their menu!

I had an incredible banh mi from here. The pork was tender and full of rich flavor, balanced perfectly with the sour tang of pickled veggies and a spicy kick. The crusty baguette held it all together, creating a delicious mix of textures and taste. Top stuff.

Absolutely loved my experience at Banme Boxpark! The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the service top-notch. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for a casual outing or a relaxed meal with friends. Highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!

Bane is one my regular lunch spots. Love the quality and taste of the food.

The food here is absolutely incredible. I had the char sui banh mi, which is something I was craving after spending two days travelling back from South America, hungry and wanting something different, and this banh mi was exactly what I wanted! The portion is large, filling and full of flavour. The char Sui itself has a beautiful flavour, complimented by the coriander, ever so lightly pickled carrots to give it a slight tang, and balanced with some refreshing cucumber. It’s then wrapped nicely in a crispy baguette which is delicately garnished inside with some chilli which gives it a bit of warmth - nothing too much but just perfect for a winter day like today! If I’m back in Croydon I’ll without a doubt be coming back here, highly recommended! The lighting at box park couldn’t do the dish justice but the vibe here is great too to enjoy the meal.

Great service and food 2nd time I have been in the week - totally recommend
