Journey to conquer taste buds
Launching the cromboloni and croissant menu in the capital from 2023, however, it was not until early 2024 that Sliced Bakery was actively sought after by young people thanks to million-view review clips on TikTok. Even to hold in their hands a hot cake filled with freshly baked filling, many young people are willing to stand in line and wait for 30 minutes to an hour.
Located on the bustling Nguyen Luong Bang street (Dong Da district, Hanoi), Cut Slice Bakery has a rather small space because it only serves take-out customers and usually opens at 3:00 p.m. every day until the cakes run out. On some special holidays, the shop will open earlier from 11:00 a.m. and notify customers in advance via social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Cromboloni cakesA cross between a bombolini and a croissant, this delightfully round pastry has a sweet filling and a crispy crust with a buttery French aroma. At first glance, the round pastry is only about 3.8 cm thick, but offers a lot of crispy surface area and still has a honeycomb structure inside when cut.
The crispy crusted cromboloni have been tested dozens of times by the Slicing team to ensure that the bottom of the cake is not sunken, the mold is full, the surface is straight, and even. No matter how evenly the croissants are rolled, when the bread is proofed and baked, each one will rise differently, so making cromboloni requires a lot of technique and dedication. A standard cake must have enough expansion so that when picked up, it feels quite hollow, and when filled, cut across the cake, the honeycomb texture is more dense than a normal croissant.

A feast of exquisite delicacies
The traditional croissant menu at Cat Slice is quite diverse and changes seasonally such as strawberry cheese, ham cheese, tiramisu, papparoti, almond... As for cromboloni, it has a crispy crust, combined with a rich creamy filling of flavors such as avocado, tropical fruit, salted egg, chocolate... creating a perfect harmony that awakens all senses.
The uniqueness of cromboloni lies in the elaborate baking technique. The cake is made from many layers of rolled dough, stacked on top of each other, then rolled and cut into portions. The crispy crust combined with the rich, creamy filling creates an unforgettable taste experience.

Cromboloni not only conquers the taste buds with its traditional flavor but also with its creative variations. The round avocado croissant is one of the shop's signature dishes with a crispy crust dyed black with bamboo charcoal and a creamy mascarpone cheese filling combined with fresh avocados shipped directly from the central region to Hanoi.
A slight bitterness combined with the smoky flavor of the Mosochiki bamboo production process combined with a thousand layers of 84% premium French butter will make the cake much more interesting than the traditional crust, not to mention the wonderful health benefits of Takesumi bamboo charcoal. As for the filling, with avocado skillfully processed at 80 degrees Celsius and EPIU mascarpone cheese by air cargo from Italy appearing for the first time in Hanoi, all will create a harmony of flavors that will delight culinary enthusiasts.
