About

Banh Appetit is a hit-or-miss spot for students. Most folks rave about the crispy, well-seasoned fries and the generous portions for the price. However, the bread quality is a major point of contention, with many claiming it lacks the authentic crunch of a real baguette. Service speed can be inconsistent, and while some find the staff lovely, others have had frustrating experiences with order accuracy. It is a solid bang for the buck if you catch them on a good day.
