Garden Kisses has built a specific identity on Nguyễn Bá Huân as the cinnamon roll specialist of Thao Dien, with a roster of flavor combinations that goes well beyond the standard. The Cici Signature comes with pistachio and burnt caramel glaze; elsewhere on the menu, miso caramel pecan, matcha black sesame with Uji cream, apple pie with candied orange peel, and a savory cheesy chicken floss version represent the range. All rolls are served warm, which makes a real difference in texture and is not something every bakery bothers with.
The croissants are serious—plain and pain au chocolat with proper lamination, a Vanilla Flan Croissant with house-made pineapple jam, and a Jey Bun stuffed with pulled pork, cheddar, and hot honey on croissant dough. The soft cream cheese cookies have developed a loyal following among regulars who place them among the best in the city, even though first-time visitors tend to arrive focused on the buns.
The matcha program is equally deliberate. Drinks are hand-whisked to order, staff ask upfront about sugar preference, and the range of preparations has made this one of the more recognized matcha stops in the neighborhood. The Garden Latte draws its own repeat visitors independent of the pastry case.
The space spans multiple levels: fans on the outdoor terrace, air conditioning inside where laptops are a common sight, and additional seating upstairs. Weekend mornings fill the room—regulars arrive early to secure spots—but weekday visits tend to be considerably more relaxed. Staff are attentive and circle back to refill tea without being flagged down. For a neighborhood with no shortage of cafe options, the combination of a focused pastry menu and a well-executed drinks program gives it a clear point of difference.

This bakery has a great variety of fresh pastries, and everything I tried was delicious. The coffee and matcha were both really good, making it a perfect spot for a break or a slow morning. The atmosphere is comfortable, and it’s a nice place to bring your laptop and get some work done while enjoying a coffee and a pastry.🥐
I received these as a gift from Vietnam, brought to Japan by a friend, and they were absolutely delicious! The cinnamon roll was soft, fluffy, and full of rich cinnamon flavor. The sausage bread was perfectly baked with a juicy filling, and the baked mentaiko baguette was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and the packaging was beautiful too. I highly recommend this bakery ,I’m already wishing they had a branch in Japan! ❤️
Super unassuming cafe and bakery! Randomly chanced upon this bakery in the area, friend and I just wanted a place to sit down and have coffee in the heat but this place far far exceeded our expectations. The ginger coffee and matcha latte we had were both super cream and decadent. Food we tried: - Jamon beurre baguette (9/10) - miso caramel cinnamon bun (9/10) - matcha black sesame bun (8/10) The baguette was so crispy and easy to eat, cinnamon bun had a super nice flavour. Black sesame was good but the matcha cream was the highlight of it. Aircon was amazing as well. Love this place and will definitely be back
quite crowded here but interesting selection of coffee and drinks. but the match was rather diluted and couldnt taste the matcha, but perhaps cuz i chose the lesser grade one? i liked the yuzu yoghurt pie tho!
so far the best cinnamon rolls i've had in Saigon. Miso caramel is so so good.
