this business caught my eye when i was walking in ho chi minh with my family on vacation. we stopped in and were surprised by how intricate and gorgeous the pastries were. upon entering, a young man immediately introduced himself, explained the pastries, ingredients, and what he recommended. we went with his advice, and ordered 1 of the green striped coconut croissants, which came out to roughly $5.35 USD, which was extremely reasonable. we sat down at a table, comfortable seating and lovely ambience. He spent probably 4-5 minutes creating the plate, and it was a gorgeous presentation. most importantly of course is how it tasted, which was fantastic. rich and buttery, but flakey and full of layers like a french croissant should be. overall a 10/10, $100 experience with a $5 price tag. please visit.

Pass by this store several times, and finally have time to sit down and have a cup of coffee. Beverage here is decorated good. But the bottle size is a bit too small, flavor was so so, not that impressed me. But the store environment is very pretty to take nice pictures.

Buttery Cake & Cafe We have been coming to this pastry shop and cafe for breakfast for several mornings and I like it. If someone like us doesn't book breakfast at the hotel, this allows us to explore the bars, pastry shops or cafes in the area in the morning and not always stay in the hotel, then in Ho Chi Minh walking in the morning is a spectacle, the atmosphere, the people getting ready for their work, in the preparation of food of every quality, flavor and aroma, seeing the human river on scooters heading to work, carrying everything on their scooters and parents accompanying their children even 5 on the scooter... how wonderful! . Returning to the place, making a very brief description, the pastries are good and also the various types of coffee both hot and cold. FOOD AND DRINKS: The desserts are really good and also aesthetically pleasing, the croissants are of different qualities with various fillings and there are different sizes from large to mignon and are served hot, the pastries are also good. The coffee of various specialties, Vietnamese, American or Italian both hot and cold is excellent, however my favorite is the Vietnamese coffee. In addition to coffee, the desserts also have various juices and even sandwiches but I have never tried them. PRICE: To get an idea of ​​how much it costs, one morning we ordered a hot Vietnamese coffee with milk, a cold coconut coffee, a large empty croissant and two mignon croissants with cream filling and we spent about 3,500,000 dong (about 12 fr) EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENT: The Buttery cake and cafe is located in a street in the center, near the famous Nguyen Hue Street in Ho Chi Minh, next to it there are many shops and other cafes, then the usual scooters parked everywhere on the sidewalk and the guard who controls them. The facade is a glass that you can see the inside and the sign is simple but aesthetically nice. INTERIOR AMBIENCE: When you enter you are immediately greeted by the pastry shop window and then there is the counter, it is a long and narrow place on several floors. The predominant colors are white and light brown and the armchairs and sofas are comfortable, even the furniture is tasteful. Then there is a staircase that goes up to the upper floors that lights up when you go up and gives a nice light effect. ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is relaxing, the light of the lamps is not annoying, with background songs also these relaxing, the only thing is that the different times we went they were always the same songs. SERVICE: The staff is all young, professional, kind and fast in the service. Well done TO IMPROVE: Everything is good, the only advice is to change the background music every now and then, because after a few days you hear the same songs , which are beautiful, but then become boring.
