The Bake Chef Company

They make homemade baked goods and tasty pastries. The price of their goods are affordable and reasonable. The service is fast and efficient. I enjoy that they have subs even catered to vegetarians, like myself.

Yummy vietnamese sandwich if you want something quick to grab. I’m so used to New York Vietnamese sandwiches so I can’t give it more stars than 3. I would recommend trying it if you’re nearby in the university. I like how you can choose what you want in the sandwich. That’s a plus!

Sadly, perhaps the best part of my experience in the university.
I learned a hell of a lot — in perhaps the worst ways possible.
But, I always enjoyed eating here, after my exams.
I like it. I like it a lot.

The subs are always tasty and even when the line is long they make them quickly. They subs are a bit messy and crumbly so eating them in class isn’t always an option (some days I’m rushing from one to the next with no break it seems!). The spulumbos chicken sausage breakfast sub is also amazing. So if you have time to sit and enjoy a sub, you won’t regret it. Yum!

Ooh! Beef Satay Sub, that’s what I’ll get! «Hi there, I’ll get a Beef Sa…» «On the paper.» *points to a stack of order cards. «Oh, ok.» I cross off the beef sate spot on the paper. «here you go.» 6 minutes of silence. «Number 34! …Number 34!!» «Umm, is that my sub?» «Well you’re the only one here.»
You’re right! I was the only one there, and so was the guy working there. We seriously can’t break away from protocol enough during non busy times to say something to the customer ordering other barking their order number at them when they’re the only one standing right in front of you?
The Sub was alright. I’m pretty sure I’d still take it over many of the other places in Mac Hall. I’ll check out the Korean place next time instead.

I’m giving Bake Chef 4 stars because they’re always there when I need them. They are a reliable place on campus to get a truly decent vietnamese sub, cookie or other baked good. The staff are always friendly and the service is pretty fast, even when 30 people are in line for a sub.
I used to work in an office on campus so close to Bake Chef, I’d find myself there at least 3 times a week. It actually got to a point where the staff started calling me «Cheese Croissant», and I would have $ 1.50 in exact change for them for my regular order. Simultaneously comforting, and embarrassing.
If you’re in Mac Hall and need a bite, Bake Chef is one of the better choices.

I enjoyed the subs. It may not be «authentic vietnamese» but it’s still really tasty. I prefer it to subway.
Their hot dog buns are also really good.
Everything is fairly priced.

Ah, Bake Chef. When I was in University, their stuffed buns were one of the things that helped me get through post-​secondary. One of the few reasonably-​priced items on campus, they’re freshly made, warm, filling, and most importantly, tasty.
My favourites are the tuna buns and the chicken buns. If you’re looking at the meat-​to-​bread ratio, the tuna buns are more favourable, but if you’re a fan of chicken like I am, the chicken buns are great too.
They also offer Vietnamese Subs as well, with a variety of types and toppings. All you have to do is fill out a paper card with your order and submit it. It’s very filling and they load them with meat, which is something you may or may not get at similar places downtown.
I’m happy they’re still around even though it’s been six or seven years since I’ve convocated with my undergraduate degree. Every so often business brings me back to my old Alma Matter, and every time I’m in Mac Hall wanting to grab a bite to eat, Bake Chef is the first to come to my mind, although to be fair, these days students have way better choices and variety in terms of food fair fare than I did when I went here regularly. Still haven’t tried out all the new places myself yet.
Anyways, if you’re ever on campus and looking for an affordable place to grab a bite, Bake Chef is a great option.

They call their sandwiches Vietnamese sub baguettes but if you have had an authentic banh mi you will be very disappointed if you are expecting an authentic banh mi at The Bake Chef.
The sandwich is still pretty good and is a very generous size but lacks the Vietnamese flavor profile. Throwing a bit of pickled carrots and cilantro on a toasted sub bun, a bun which doesn’t even resemble a baguette in texture at all, is a let down.
If I want a sandwich while at the university I would consider going there as it is numerous levels superior to Subway, but as a Vietnamese sub it is just meh.
