Kimi Bakery — Restaurant in Da Lat City

We were sitting across the road enjoying a coffee when we noticed a steady stream of people queuing up at a small street-side bakery, Kimi, located right on Nguyễn Văn Trỗi. Curiosity got the better of us, and we decided to check out what the fuss was about.

If you are not a sweet tooth person, I will suggest you to just buy one to try first and...

If you can navigate through the crowded streets, this is worth a stop. The pastry not too sweet not too rich but has some denseness. Don’t expect light and fluffy. Recommend the cheese and salted egg option. The milk is on another level. Do 100% buy the fresh milk here. It’s out of this world. Eat and drink immediately for best results. Across the street is Married Beans coffee shop where you can get a coffee and sit...
