The Story
About This Place
Sweet & Sour Bakery has built a loyal following in Thao Dien largely on the strength of its custom celebration cakes. The shop sits on a quieter stretch of Quốc Hương with both indoor and outdoor seating — reviewers describe the space as spacious and well-furnished, a contrast to the compact setups common along busier District 2 strips.
The made-to-order cake program is the main draw. Customers can specify color, design, and flavor, and the results have earned repeat orders across multiple birthdays. Lemon cake draws consistent praise for balance and moisture. Cupcake flavors run from red velvet and Oreo to s'mores, and the bakery will box them individually for school or office events — a logistical detail that matters when moving 24 pieces across the city. For the Mid-Autumn season, moon cakes sit alongside the Western-style range, along with candles, stickers, and party accessories.
The carrot cake has divided opinion: the buttercream frosting instead of cream cheese is a departure that some regulars notice. There have also been occasional reports of fulfillment shortfalls on cupcake batch orders, and one custom coconut-lime cake drew a pointed review for dry, under-flavored filling. At 1,250,000 VND for a small custom cake, those misses carry weight against the price point.
What keeps customers returning is the kitchen's reliability on its core range and the care around bulk pickup orders — correctly counted, individually boxed, ready at the agreed time. Drinks provide offset to the bakery's sweeter items. For Thao Dien residents planning a birthday, a class party, or a festival gift box, this is the most established custom-cake option on the street, though advance ordering is essential for custom work.

Received wonderful support from the Thao Dien team today. I purchased 24 cup cakes for my daughter's birthday celebration with her class. Each one was individually boxed and a hit with my daughter and the children! They loved them and ate them straight away! I really appreciated the staff having them packed and ready for me to collect at the agreed time. The service was thoroughly professional and the staff also helped me select 2 other cakes. They looked beautiful and tasted great. I highly recommend Sweet and Sour. Their service, range and presentation of cakes, cards and candles made it all so much easier today. 🫶
This is the second year I ordered my birthday cake form Sweet and Sour Bakery. This year I got the lemon cake and it was amazing! Everyone at the party also enjoyed it. Best cake in Saigon, will be coming back next year for sure!
I had high hopes for this cake shop after receiving numerous recommendations, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. I ordered a small custom birthday cake for 1,250,000 VND, and while the design was visually appealing, the taste was a letdown. The cake was supposed to be coconut and lime, but instead, it was filled with large chunks of hard coconut and barely any lime flavor. The filling was dry and lacked the creaminess I expected. To make matters worse, the cake itself was wet and undercooked, leaving a strange soda-like taste that was quite sour. I've had my fair share of cake disappointments in Vietnam, but this was by far the worst. It genuinely ruined my birthday celebration. I literally put the cake in the bin. I reached out to the bakery for feedback, and while they did apologize, they offered no compensation for the experience. I can't recommend this bakery if you're looking for a delicious cake.
Just received my son's dream birthday cake, which was delicious - a very big thank you to the Sweet and Sour team! We'll be ordering from you again :) EDIT: We’ve ordered two more birthday cakes from Sweet and Sour and have been impressed with their artistry every time!
