I ordered a beef sandwich with jalapenos and gave a digital tip with payment. I sit waiting while I hear the beef sandwich offered to the lady that ordered directly after me. Then the gentleman that ordered after her is give 3 sandwiches. When I finally stand up to inquire about my beef sandwich, the lady with an attitude gives me one of the sandwiches on the counter. When I let her know that she probably gave my sandwich to another customer she gives an apology with attitude. Well, I get to my car to start eating and - no jalapenos. At least be sincere with your apology when you make a mistake. I won't be back to Cali Baguette Express.

I have been coming to Cali baguette since I was in college 5 years ago. The family that runs this restaurant are the kindest most accommodating people. You can really tell they care about their customers and quality service. I get the same thing everytime and it never disappoints. Tofu bahn mi, they take special caution to prep my vegetarian order without cross contamination and I really appreciate that. This is a wonderful establishment.

I walked in cause I was hungry for some good bread and I wasn't disappointed. No frills here--absolutely none.

They have all kinds of bahn mi options. Vegetarians welcome here! Looks like they have some daily breads that looked awesome but they only had pork filled buns that day. They have canned sodas, bottled water, and a bunch of random Vietnamese offerings.

I went for the lemongrass beef Banh mi and added egg for $2. The beef was the only warm component of the sandwich, the egg was pretty much cold and scrambled but still fresh. All the veggies were on point, crunchy carrot and cucumber and super fresh cilantro.

The bread was the superstar but I could see how it would feel a bit skimpy on the fillings if I didn't add egg. There was a man picking up two huge baguettes and I may do that in the future.

The guy who took my order could not be bothered. Highly recommend!

Warm, welcoming, and super tasty. Felt like eating at a friend’s house. The stew was rich and hearty — just what I needed.

You get a nice long sandwich for the small price although they are thin. Tasty though. The service is great!
