Omg, missed such stuff soo much - Edit
So glad to have found this! The donut was amazing, the pain au chocolat a bit dry but definitely not worse than anything I had in Paris. Really nice! The prices are also more than affordable, especially given Saigon price standard. Definitely recommend!

Nice but expensive - Edit
Went here for a banh mi, which was quite expensive (65k) compare to other banh mi-places. Also located at a crowded street, so you can't really enjoy sitting in front of the store. Lady working there was really nice and spoke English.

Cons: Quite pricy

Thank you, Nien!
Read moreJust to kindly clarify, our bánh mìs range from 45k-55k per portion. Our ‘O Plant-based Traditional Bánh Mì’ is 45k (the one you had purchased) and our ‘O Plant-based Special Bánh Mì’ is 55k. In regards to pricing, we do make everything in-house! The aromatic plant-based patê, pickled vegetables, grilled bbq oyster mushrooms, and the fresh Vietnamese baguette! Our ‘O Plant-based Fresh Vietnamese Baguette’ uses traditional fermentation methods to ensure secure gut-health. We take pride in not using preservatives, leavening agents, or crisping agents to provide a 100% natural and clean product!
It was wonderful to have you, thank you for stopping by!

Some good some not so good - Edit
Banh Mi was very good minus the chewy mushrooms. Rose Tea was excellent. Savory pastries not my favorite. Desserts in the fridge. Hoping to try the pastries next time.

Thank you for the feedback, Jay!
Read moreWe are so delighted to hear that you liked the lychee rose tea.
Our ‘O Plant-based’ bánh mì uses grilled bbq mushrooms for a chewy “meatier” texture to resemble the beloved taste of traditional Vietnamese-style proteins.
In addition, please don’t hesitate to let us know on how we are able to improve our ‘pate chaud’ and ‘samosa’. The lamination? Filling texture? Flavor profile? We continuously strive to progress the quality of our products, to ensure: fulfillment and satisfaction.
We highly value your candor and hope to hear from you soon! The kindness regards.

Nice but not a real bread - Edit
I was very happy to try vegan sweets after long time. There are many options to choose from: pastries, mousses, tarts or Banh mi. The staff is super nice and speaks English. My pastries (especially pain au chocolat) turned out to be very crunchy when originally they supposed to be super fluffy😒

Thank you for the honesty! We heavily value your constructive feedback, it allows for us to progress our recipes. Your purchase was made a few months ago in regards to the almond croissant and pain au chocolat; as a result, we have recently updated our lamination process to include more moisture. The interior of our pastries are now a lot fluffier with the added hydration! Hopefully you’ll give us another try.

Interesting "egg" coffee and many baked goods - Edit
We tried the pate chaud, pain au chocolat, one donut and the tiramisu. Everything was tasty. The "egg" coffee was interesting. It didn't taste like coffee because there was so much cream. But for trying out its okay.

Finally vegan pastries - Edit
Such a great feeling when you can choose what you want 🥐🍰🥧🌱
Read more💰 Prices for pastries are really fair! Coffee is a bit more
🥐 Pain au Chocolate and croissants will be warmed up when ordered. Pain of chocolate could be bir more creamy but we came late in the afternoon so maybe I'm the morning they are bit more fresh.
🥐 Plain Croissant (20k VND) - 0,80$
🍫🥐 Pain au Chocolat (30k VND) - 1,20$
☕ Cashew Latte (48k VND) - 1,80$
Would definitely come again!

Yummy! - Edit
Nice little bakery with a full vegan menu! Unfortunately a part of the menu is only available from 9.30 am, so we could not try. The Banh mi is very good, the tarts were also delicious. There is a construction site on the opposite side of the road, so it is very noisy there.😒
Read morePros: selection of goods, friendly staff, Taste
Cons: noisy place

Thank you, Hummus! We apologize for the unfortunate disturbance, the matter has been resolved. We are so thankful to know that you enjoyed the bánh mì and tarts.

Expensive ice cream - Edit
The ice cream jumped from 35 to 45 to 50 in a few weeks. They also put a lot less in the cone making it much worse value than competitors.
Read moreFriendly service and a good selection of vegan desserts and savouries. However the sweet pastry on the savoury items must be an acquired taste and one o haven’t acquired yet!

Superb!!! - Edit
I always find it difficult to have vegan pastry when I travel. But this place is like a dream comes true with all vegan stuff, from pastry to desserts and drinks. Their bread looked small but was full of fillings and well-seasoned. The pastry was amazingly crunchy and not overly sweet. So was the mousse. The coffee however was a bit sweet for me as I forgot to tell them not to put sugar/sweeteners in. But overall, it was superb

Vegan pastries!! - Edit
It was so nice to have some vegan pastries again after a long time. The chocolate croissant was really nice. The almond croissant was not amazing. I was there quite late, so the pastries are probably fresh and nicer in the morning. Super sweet english speaking staff as well. I would definitely go back!

Very very delicious bakes - Edit
Delicious almond pastry & pain a chocolat. We got a coffee too, a cashew cream one, which was a too sweeet, but this is probably from preference, the texture was great, would just ask for it less sweet next time if possible.

Delicious goodness! - Edit
Tried two things so far: chocolate tart and Bon Appetit Banh Mi. Both were delicious!
Read moreI went "oh my god!" as I was beginning to have my first bite of the bahn mi because I could smell how good it was going to be, and I was right 😄
Friendly staff, easy to reach location, and they accept credit cards. There is one DC charging plug near the entrance. Small outdoor seating only, but there is a park nearby if you want to eat there.
Pros: Bon Appetit Banh Mi , Chocolate Tart
Cons: No indoor seating., 2.

All Vegan Bakery! - Edit
they get 5 stars for just existing, its rare to find an all vegan bakery and one that also has savory items on the menu. the bahn mi was the best I’ve had so far. the bread was bakery fresh, the veggies were pickeled and crunchy and it had like a hickory smokey bbq mushroom that was just enough spicy heat. they all came together well to make a nice sandwich.
Read moreI also ordered the chocolate pastry and the chocolate ice cream which were okay not amazing. but I would def return to try their other pastries. also the servers were nice and friendly
Pros: all vegan, service, bahn mi
Cons: better/ more comfortable seating

Cute little cafe serving vegan goodies - Edit
Landed in Saigon and this the first place I rush to, to have my breakfast. The cafe is aesthetically very pleasing. I ordered Banh Mi, Iced coffee and Strawberry tart. The tart was scrumptious and too good to believe it was vegan. Banh Mi was very filling.
Read moreA must visit place for breakfast. However, one may find this place a bit expensive considering other vegan options available in Saigon.
Pros: Aesthetics , Tasty dessert

Tasty, probably better in the morning - Edit
The green coffee is indeed yummy although the paper straw doesn't hold up well against the ice. And the strange wiggly green things on the top were strange... But the drink is tasty.
Read moreThe pastries are also tasty. Maybe a little firm but I was there an hour before closing so, you know. Probably better in the morning when they've been made more freshly. The taste was good. I liked the matcha danish most.
The place itself is also cute. Small but with a fair bit of seating.

Vegan bakery!! - Edit
So excited to find a 100% vegan bakery in Ho Chi Minh!! We had the Banh Mi, mini burgers, chocolate mousse, passionfruit mango mousse, vegan egg coffee, lemon-lime slushie and mini crossiants. Highly recommend getting the vegan egg coffee!!! 🙌🏼
Read moreI really wanted to give this place 5 stars ⭐️ but my partner wasn’t a fan of the mini burgers which lacked flavour and sauce to them. Otherwise everything else we had was really good.
Will definitely be going back there again. Also incredibly cheap for what they sell!
Pros: 100% vegan bakery , Cheap , Friendly staff who spoke good English
Cons: Mini burgers lacked flavour
Oplantbased
Thank you Kate, it was wonderful to have you both. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed! We appreciate your feedback on our burgers, we will continue to progress our recipes.

Good quality, lots of choice, unbelievable value for your money if from the UK. Been around since 2007 so they know what they are doing. Small portions so you can order a variety of foods.

One of the best places in Ho Chi Minh City - Edit
This is one of the best vegan restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. I came here for the Bánh mì. It was very tasty with seasoned shiitake mushrooms. The mango shake was also very rich and tasty. There are many other cakes to choose from, so be sure to visit.
