Nowadays, bakeries often integrate with tea and coffee spaces. Not only do they sell cakes and drinks, they also sell spaces where young people of Gen Z can meet, chat and take beautiful check-in photos. Let's follow Travellive to learn about this model.
Pema
This is a bakery with an extremely cute style with the main color being white. Pema exudes a "girly" princess look that is quite suitable for many young women with similar personalities.

At Pema, beautifully shaped French iced cakes are the main dish. The small cakes are meticulously decorated and have their own style. The shop also sells tea in pots and other modern drinks to diversify the flavors and increase the customers' choices. However, the luxurious teapots in the style of ancient European aristocrats are the drinks chosen by most customers.

The shop has two locations at Dang Thai Mai and Quang Trung, both of which are airy and have many beautiful photo angles. A small minus point is that the space at Dang Thai Mai is a bit more limited in terms of photo angles, and the cakes here do not taste as excellent as they look.
Soie by fours
This bakery located on Phan Chu Trinh street has a quite modern design with the main gray tone, suitable for the modern style commonly seen in other beverage and cake shops.

This is also a French-style bakery with a varied and extensive menu and a wide range of drinks. However, perhaps because they sell so many things, the quality of the cakes and drinks is not too consistent. Some cakes are delicious, while others are a little less appealing.

Modern design and interior are the strong points of the restaurant.
Sharing with Travellive reporter, Mr. Thu - the shop owner said: "Because the shop has just opened, I am trying my best to serve everyone."
Artemis
Artemis opened at two crowded locations, Ngo Quyen and Van Cao, with colorful cake cabinets.
This is considered a fairly high-quality cake shop in Hanoi. With on-site drinks, Artemis opens a check-in space to serve the needs of young people. Although the space is not too outstanding, even quite normal compared to the two shops above, the quality of cakes and drinks at Artemis is always maintained at a good level. In particular, some cakes here have outstanding, fresh flavors.

The shop is very diligent in updating and changing the menu, recently adding custard apples to combine with tea, which makes customers excited. The way of decorating cakes here also tends to be simple but full of color, focusing on highlighting the ingredients of fruit, chocolate...
If you had to choose the place with the best cakes among the 3 shops mentioned above, it would probably be Artemis, and the shop with a modern, minimalist space would be Soie, and finally Pema with the title of a shop selling elegant, classy tea and cakes.

The common point of all three bakeries is that they all sell cakes with tea and coffee to facilitate customers to sit and chat. Although the seating space is a bit "industrialized", it is a quite comfortable model for the majority of people because of its convenience, popularity, and familiarity like any other coffee shop.
Another common point of these bakeries is the investment in the appearance of the cake, the richness of the drink menu and the extremely suitable decoration space for young people to "take pictures" together when gathering and dating.
Hopefully with the above suggestions, young people of Gen Z in particular and readers in general can have a reference address for leisurely weekend afternoons. Try ordering a few cakes, sipping a cup of hot tea and watching the bustling city in the afternoon.
