How we read reviews →Melbourne's west hidden gem for Vietnamese salted egg yolk cakes and salted cream coffee.
A small, cute shopfront with compact but clean seating next to Ginifer train station. Cosy and community-oriented with friendly staff who come from behind the counter to serve personally. The space has a strong incense from the altar that some reviewers find overwhelming indoors, but the charming presentation and welcoming team create a warm atmosphere overall.
Vietnamese-style birthday cakes with personalised writing at no extra charge. 4-pack combo sampler box for first-timers. Known for originating as a home business during COVID and expanding to two locations (St Albans and city). Free cookies at the counter. Delivery available to broader Melbourne.
Highly authentic Vietnamese dessert and cake tradition. The salted egg yolk sponge cake (bánh bông lan trứng muối) with pork floss is a specific Vietnamese speciality executed to a standard multiple reviewers describe as better than versions tasted in Vietnam. The salted cream coffee (cà phê muối) follows Vietnamese café tradition.
Very reasonable pricing for handcrafted Vietnamese-style cakes. whole cakes from around $28-$45 depending on size. Slice and drink combos are affordable. Some reviewers note price increases and size reductions over time, but the majority consider it good value for the quality and uniqueness of the product.
