SOKO Cake Bake & Brunch – Nguyen Trung Truc - Brunch restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

We visited on an early afternoon and there were no other customers. If you want a good croissant, this is the place to be. The avocado croissant was flaky and not too sweet despite having that filling. The tira-miss-u latte was just okay, being in Vietnam, there are other good coffee in the area.

Stumbled across this bakery near our hotel, everything looked so good. Bought a matcha croissant and an earl grey hazelnut rondo. They were perfectly balanced in flavour and sweetness, the cream was to die for….definitely worth the price.

I am already a big fan of Soko Cafe and this is actually the very first new branch I have visited. To be frank, the venue is a little compact and the indoor seating area is quite limited. However, it is still well worth a visit as you can enjoy some unique menu offerings along with a range of exciting drinks that are not commonly found elsewhere.

This cafe is a cute aesthetic moment to sit down and people watch in a stylish and calm atmosphere. Their food options were vast and showed a lot of fusion in their menu. All of our meals were all exquisitely plated. Their drinks were opulent and this makes for a very instagramable location. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for a different take on Western classics and are in need of a chill out then I would recommend this Cafe.

The food was okay, tasty and well prepared. However, the coffee was disappointing — the flat white was very watery and tasted more like milk diluted with water, with only a slight coffee flavor. When we arrived in the morning, we were informed in advance that avocado, waffles, and pancakes were unavailable, and we were also clearly told the waiting time for the order (20–25 minutes), which we appreciated. It is noticeable that the place is no longer new and could use some cosmetic renovation. Additionally, some of the Tet decorations made it difficult to move around, both for the staff and for guests. On a positive note, our waiter was very pleasant, attentive, and responded quickly to our requests. The service was genuinely good. Overall, it’s a place you can visit, especially for the food and service, but there is room for improvement.
