Voelker is a European-style bakery and cafe in Thao Dien turning out proper sourdough, rye breads and laminated pastries for the expat crowd.
OrderA sourdough loaf and a flaky morning pastry.
TipIt doubles as a sit-down cafe; the bread sells out, so come earlier in the day.
Maison Marou is the cafe and patisserie arm of Marou, the Saigon bean-to-bar chocolate maker, turning its single-origin Vietnamese chocolate into tarts.
OrderThe dark chocolate tart and a cup of hot chocolate.
TipYou can watch pastry work through the glass; the boxed bars make the best edible souvenir.
Tous Les Jours is the ubiquitous Korean-French bakery chain whose Le Loi branch stacks its cases with cream buns, cheese breads and sponge cakes.
OrderA cream-filled bun or the cheese bread, straight from the case.
TipIt is a reliable chain, not artisan; the appeal is cheap cakes and air conditioning downtown.
ABC Bakery is the homegrown Saigon chain that supplies baguettes to banh mi stalls across the city, and its shops sell cakes, buns and the crisp bread.
OrderA fresh baguette, still warm, or a salted-egg custard bun.
TipThis is where many stalls buy their bread; the plain baguettes are the thing to grab.
PAUL is the French boulangerie chain whose Saigon Centre branch bakes proper laminated croissants, baguettes and tarts, a reliable Western pastry stop.
OrderA butter croissant and a pain au chocolat.
TipIt sits on the ground floor of Saigon Centre; the croissants are freshest in the morning.
