The Annerley Kitchen

Generously stuffed banh mi rolls and housemade baked goods anchor this compact Ipswich Road counter. Regulars line up for crisp baguettes packed with tender beef brisket, roast pork, fresh coriander, and fiery chopped chilli. While there are no indoor seats—it is strictly takeaway—patrons happily balance rolls on the curb alongside a balanced, bittersweet Vietnamese iced coffee. Between the midday rush for loaded sandwiches and massive burgers, the kitchen turns out bespoke event cakes, from multilayered birthday tiers to coeliac-safe bakes.
