    Best baguettes in Melbourne. Fantastic selection of fresh rolls with great fillings. If you want them heated up just ask, the staff are always friendly & willing to help.

    Been here a few times and its a decent place to eat as they have a variety of baguettes at affordable prices. The reason for 2 star review is because of the roast chicken and avocado baguette that i purchased today. Not only was the food dry and not saucy, but the way it is made is very decieving... almost thought i bought this from 7/11 the way they have marketted and sold this.

    This is a small place that closes at 4 PM on weekdays and does not open on weekends. So for someone like me who doesn't work in the city having a Baguette from here was a rare occasion. But whenever I do, I get a baguette from here, I enjoy it thoroughly. The size of the baguettes is huge. They have 2 sizes, a big one and a really big one costing $5 and $7 resp. I love the chicken schnitzel Baguette from here which has a lot of chicken in it and tastes good. They sell quite a lot of baguettes everyday so you can expect them to be made fresh everyday. I have recommended this place to many of my friends who have enjoyed the baguettes from here. This place is great value for money.

    It's the absolute best value lunch you can get if you are a city worker around this end of town. $6 (as of June 2022) for a fresh baguette and they will toast it for you too and it tastes great ! You won't even get a post lunch food coma so you can stay awake for that pesky 2.30 zoom meeting...

    Wow never realised this place existed until a friend recommended it. Truly great value! I paid only $8 for a chicken schnitzel baguette. Got it toasted and didn’t have to wait a very long time even though it was very busy at lunch. It tasted great and had good texture with the mix of crunchy schnitzel and soft baguette. I shall be back!

    This place really is the best place to get lunch on a budget. Their range is huge, from baguettes filled with falafel to teriyaki chicken, even their smaller petite baguettes are enough to fill you up and with a price of $8 at time of writing I happily say they’ve saved me from having to fork out at least double that at somewhere like Melbourne central. The service is amazing and you’re even given the option of toasted or not, though the location can make waiting out of the way difficult if busy (no fault of the café however). I would seriously urge anyone going to that area of the CBD anytime soon to try it out.

    This place is one of Melbournes hidden treasures. The baguettes are exceptionally good, very good price and all the staff i've interacted with are extremely friendly!

    The parallels between B3 and Subway are clear, both serve cheap sandwiches. Where those similarities end, is the quality of the product you receive. In the case of B3, you get an amazing baguette served by staff who look like they want to be there. There is a reason lines form outside the place!

    AKA Petite Baguette. Best value baguettes in Melbourne. A wide variety to choose from. 6 inch $4.50, 10 inch $6.50. The bread is pretty good too.

  • 5/5 V R. 6 months ago on Google • 121 reviews
    Insane value and taste! Walked past many times and tried today. I can understand why this place is so popular. I tried the chicken tandoori petite baguette and there was nothing petite about it! Was so filling and satisfying thank you.

  • 5/5 Abbey W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite spots for lunch in the city. Incredibly cheap. Highly recommend the Falafel baguette or Brie, Basil and Tomato baguette. Cheap drinks, cakes + tarts too!

  • 5/5 Alex P. 1 year ago on Google

    Ordered a chicken schnitzel baguette. Big bites and cheap. Plenty of types of baguettes.

  • 5/5 Sam M. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    This place is the bomb. The eggplant schnitzel is really top notch. They have two different sizes for the baguettes and reasonable prices. Definitely one of my favourite places in the CBD. They usually sell out on week days by around 2pm.

  • 5/5 Joe W. 2 years ago on Google
    This place just makes me happy. I look forward to traveling to the city just to go get the best baguette in the world and for dirt cheap at $5. Infinitely better, faster, healthier and cheaper than Subway. Big and filling, and it's a local business! Staff are always friendly and they take cash and card. Best feed in Melbourne for the price. The non toasted eggplant baguette is the best!
