Brand ethos:

'Pastry should be like love: exciting, thoughtful, honest.'

We keep everyday baked goods packaging simple and approachable using kraft material, with a touch of personality through vivid colors, illustration, and writing to keep things exciting.

We prioritize personality and context over blind consistency.

A customizable stamping-system for product cards, easily adaptable as the brand continues to test and develop new products.

Taking inspirations from our products and ingredients, we developed a new illustration system for our special occasional packagings. Every bag and box is gift-able.

A reusable gift box.

The three-story, 1000m2 building is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas, each serving a different

purpose while maintaining a cohesive design intention: to be welcoming, warm, and exciting in every detail.

The ground floor houses the Boulangerie & Patisserie, laid out like a mini market.

The building was carefully restored by the design team to its original state,

exposing the beam structure to maximize the space.

The warm tones of the imperfect tiles and plywood complement the exposed beam structure, creating an inviting and friendly atmosphere. The result is a comfortable and welcoming ambiance that reflects the essence of Bakes.

Moving up to the first floor, you'll find the Bistro & Bar, reminiscent of a cozy hotel lounge, offering a space for guests to unwind and savor their treats.

Stained plywood takes center stage, providing a visually appealing texture that contributes to the creation of a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Meticulous attention was given to the selection of (mostly bespoke) furniture and plants throughout the establishment.

Special emphasis was placed on lounge chairs and outdoor furniture to ensure a comfortable

and ergonomic experience for customers as they indulge in the delectable pastries and

soak in the inviting ambiance.

In fact, Bakes is one of the first establishments in Vietnam to import authentic Hay Denmark furnitures.

Finally, the top floor houses a secret "labo" with a disciplined aesthetic,

an essential part of the business.
