Though probably not the first cupcakery in town, Pacey Cupcakes is among the well-known ones. Here, you can find up to 40 cupcake options.<\/p>\n

From just 12 options from the time it was established, Pacey Cupcakes now gives you over 40 options including eye-catching cookie, matcha, and cream cupcakes with well-balanced flavors. Beyond that, the cupcake makers have added more Vietnamese twists, namely durian, passion fruit, and avocado flavors, to the common western sweet. As a result, the options at Pacey Cupcakes are quite diverse.<\/p>\n

However, as these options usually come and go depending on the season, ask in advance for the most accurate menu. Typically, there are about 15 options every day. The prices for each cupcake vary from VND40,000 (~USD1.71)<\/strong>. Drink-and-cupcake combos are also available.<\/p>\n

It is located in a 1970s modernist house<\/h3>\n

Sharing the serene \u0110\u1eb7ng Dung Street with other famous food spots such as C\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0110\u1ed7 Ph\u1ee7 – C\u01a1m T\u1ea5m \u0110\u1ea1i H\u00e0n<\/a> and \u00c5 by Tung Saigon<\/a>, Pacey Cupcakes gives you a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the tasty cupcakes. For those who love vintage style, the cupcakery is remarkable for its modernist architecture prevalent in southern Vietnam during the 1970s.<\/p>\n

In fact, the appearance looks minimalist with almost no decorations. The entrance and windows are simply rectangular and the walls made of gray washed stones and embellished with teal borders.<\/p>\n

\"Souvenirs\"

Inside the cupcakery, the space is filled with nostalgic objects from the 1960s and 1970s, varying from old books to piggy banks to a wooden cabinet. In a corner, you’ll find a beautiful hanging handmade red carp lantern.<\/p>\n

Pacey Cupcakes was originally opened on another street in downtown Saigon. However, due to financial reasons, the cupcakery was moved to its present location in a more laidback neighbourhood in the Saigon city centre. However, to give Pacey Cupcakes a distinctive look, Tr\u1ea7n Qu\u1ed1c Kh\u00f4i Nguy\u00ean, one of the founders, had made a great effort to renovate the building.<\/p>\n

Originally, this site was the location of a street restaurant. Therefore, the previous owners had changed both the front and the inside of this building thoroughly. When acquiring it, Kh\u00f4i Nguy\u00ean, as a architect, took measures to restore the building to its original look to the best of his knowledge.<\/p>\n

For example, in an interview with Saigoneer<\/a>, he claimed to have replaced the toilet area with elegant stone blocks and brought old appliances from his parents’ house to decorate the bakery. Also in this interview, he expressed that he created this space as a tribute to Saigon, his beloved hometown.<\/p>\n
