BAO SANDWICH BAR

Located in the heartstrings of Waterloo University District, Bao Sandwich Bar specializes in the popularized concept of Vietnamese sandwiches and Taiwanese steamed buns, known as banh mi and Gua Bao.

Bao Sandwich Bar takes on a modern approach to a variety of Asian cuisines, focusing on traditional staple foods. Originating in the late 19th century, banh mi was a product of French colonialism, by bringing together the french baguette with native Vietnamese ingredients. Gua Bao. on the other hand, is Taiwan’s “go to” street food, beloved for its flavours and textures.

This food style has since exploded to “foodie” culture through increased exposure. At Bao Sandwich Bar, we make our own staple ingredients. By combining one with another, we created our own variations of flavourful sandwiches to introduce to the community.

We are constantly innovating, and will be introducing a diversity through our snacks and sandwiches. At Bao Sandwich Bar, we strive to create awareness and excitement for our food to the surrounding community.
