Graceville residents are set to welcome a new family-run eatery on Honour Avenue that transforms a mother’s long-term dream into a fresh destination for authentic Vietnamese street food.
A Dream Realised on Honour Avenue
The upcoming launch of Oli’s Banh Mi marks a significant milestone for local resident Stephanie Tran, who developed the business as a way to contribute to the neighbourhood she loves. Inspired by her son, the shop serves as a bridge between her heritage and the local community, offering a space that feels both personal and welcoming.
The design of the shop focuses on a calm atmosphere, using soft green colours, curved walls, and plenty of indoor plants to create a peaceful environment for customers to visit.
Fresh Flavours and Traditional Techniques
The menu focuses on simple, high-quality ingredients that highlight the bold tastes of Vietnam. Located within walking distance of the Graceville train station, the kitchen prepares classic baguettes daily, ensuring every sandwich has the perfect crunch. Customers can choose from several traditional fillings, such as crispy roast pork with crackling, lemongrass-marinated chicken, or cold cuts served with rich pâté.
Every order is put together on the spot, allowing people to choose their preferred level of fresh chilli alongside the standard mix of pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber, and coriander.
More Than Just Sandwiches
While the signature baguettes are the main draw, the shop also offers a variety of other traditional meals and specialty drinks. For those looking for lighter options, the menu includes fresh rice paper rolls and vermicelli bowls topped with grilled meats.
Traditional snacks like skewers and seasoned fries are also available for a quick bite. To wash it down, the cafe serves a wide range of drinks, from modern iced matcha and hojicha lattes to traditional Vietnamese coffee made with condensed milk or a unique salted-cream topping.
Serving the Graceville Community
Although the business is designed for quick service to suit busy commuters and locals on the move, there is a small area for those who wish to sit and eat. The shop typically operates from mid-morning through the afternoon, but the kitchen stays open only as long as the fresh bread lasts for the day. As the business grows, there are future goals to expand the seating area and add even more variety to the food selection.
