★★★★★2 months agoI had a wonderful experience at Bakes Cafe. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always greeted customers with a warm smile. The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and beautifully designed, making it a perfect place to hang out or work. The drinks were excellent, freshly prepared, and full of flavor, with plenty of options to choose from. My fav is Matcha Coco ( Highly recommend for those who loves matcha ). The overall service was grea. I highly recommend Bakes Cafe to anyone looking for a great coffee shop experience. Five stars in every aspect!

★★★★★2 months agoI really enjoyed the croissant here; it's honestly the best I've had in HCM! Their pastry selection is also quite impressive. It's a pleasant spot, and with more seating and an enhanced atmosphere, it would be even better. ✨
