Made with love in Rochester
Boba Mi is a family-owned Vietnamese café built on one simple belief: details matter. From slow-simmered phở broth to ceremonial-grade matcha, every item on the menu is a labor of love for Rochester.
Boba Mi | Our Story
A family's vision for Rochester
Boba Mi is a family-owned café built from the ground up — born from a heartfelt desire to bring vibrant Vietnamese flavors to a city that deserved them.
The obsession with real ingredients
Ceremonial-grade matcha sifted fresh, house-made pâté tucked into every bánh mì, phở broth slow-simmered until it's rich and round — we don't cut corners because we don't want to. We believe the details guests can't always name are exactly the ones they always taste.
The Phở Bánh Mì moment
A crispy baguette packed with all the classics, served with phở broth for dipping — a combination you won't find anywhere else in Rochester.
A place to come back to
From Lunar New Year to K-pop cupsleeve events and university fundraisers, Boba Mi was always meant to be more than a restaurant — it's a community gathering place.
Two years in, still growing
Local food writers at Eat Local New York have called us a must-visit — especially for the Philly cheesesteak bánh mì — and our guests keep showing up and spreading the word. We're proud of what we've built, and we're not done yet.
