The Story

About This Place

Hivi Cake has built a steady following in Binh Thanh through a simple proposition: custom celebration cakes that dial back the sugar without sacrificing the occasion. With 291 Google reviews averaging 4.5 stars, the shop draws locals ordering for family birthdays and expats hunting down a cake that doesn't overwhelm — a genuine differentiator in a city where most bakeries err heavily toward saccharine frosting.

Custom designs track current trends closely. The capybara cake (from 180,000 VND for 16cm) and the ribbon strawberry cake (280,000 VND, 16cm) are among the recurring orders, and the design catalogue rotates to follow whatever is circulating on social media at the time. Orders arrive complete with plastic cutlery, a cake knife, and birthday candles — small details that matter when a party is already in motion.

The daily closing time of 10 PM is worth noting for anyone whose birthday dinner runs long. The shop accepts same-day orders, and staff are consistently described as quick to respond both online and in person — which matters when the lead time is tight. Pricing sits well below big franchise bakeries while delivering comparable, often better, freshness straight from the counter. For gifts destined for older relatives, the low-sweetness option has become the shop's most-cited feature across reviews spanning several years of regulars.

The location on Ung Văn Khiêm in Thạnh Mỹ Tây is accessible from central Binh Thanh and neighboring Thao Dien. There is no café seating or dine-in atmosphere — this is a cake-first operation, and the consistency across hundreds of reviews suggests that narrow focus is exactly what keeps people coming back.

It's cake shop. It seems like they can take the custom order, then they serve many unique cakes.

honestly the BEST cake i’ve ever had!! this is the first time i got to celebrate my birthday in vietnam and i was looking around for some cute cake ideas. i found one and was looking around for shops and just stumbled across this one while getting dinner with my cousin one day and we decided to order it here since its close to where im staying. the cake was made PERFECTLY, both design wise and taste!! its not overly sweet which i love, its super moist and soft and the frosting was so so good!! highly recommend this place if youre not much of a sweet tooth and want a quality cake that wont cost you so much. as for service, my cousin and i ordered it at the store and contacted the facebook page for further contact and they respond really quick. the person who was helping me place this order was really helpful. my mom insisted on me getting a cake from givral, but i’m so glad we didn’t since this cake was so much better! thank you guys for nailing my cake perfectly!!!♡
