★★★★★a month agoThe sandwiches r sublime, particularly with the sauce. Its a bit novel for Vietnamese, but definitely worth a try. I also love the cake, especially the salted caramel chocolate. It was an odd combination of flavors to me at first, but they complement each other well and the texture is so soft that it melts in ur mouth. They have a wide variety of cookies as well and its really welcoming of them to let us have samples even tho we werent gonna buy. All in all, a great place for an adventurous date night.

★★★★★a month agoI ordered a birthday cake and cookies for my boyfriend with a chocolate theme. I was looking for the most chocolatey sweets in Vietnam for him since it’s kind of hard to find here. Safe to say they delivered! Next day delivery, beautiful packaging, and one of the most delicious chocolate cakes we’ve ever had 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
