Dessert near Sheraton Saigon rarely makes the evening plan, which is a small mistake. The hotel sits on Đồng Khởi, in District 1, surrounded by some of the best pastry in the city. The trick is knowing what each place does well.
Some of it is French. Brodard Bakery has been turning out cakes and pastries here for decades. Ivoire Pastry Boutique and The Pastry Boutique lean toward fine patisserie, the kind built for a slow afternoon coffee. For chocolate, Maison Marou Cafe makes its own bars from Vietnamese cacao, a short walk away on Mạc Thị Bưởi. The Monkey Productions Dessert Bar takes a more modern, plated approach.
This guide maps the desserts and pastry near Sheraton Saigon, from old-school bakeries to plated dessert bars. Each entry gives the location, the walk from the hotel, opening hours, and what the place is known for.
