About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver rushed into Yen Huong Bakery with a worried look on his face. ‘I just saw something strange outside,’ he whispered. ‘What could it be?’ Outside, everyone peered curiously. A neighbor, holding his morning coffee, asked, 'What's going on?' The delivery guy pointed towards an old tree in the corner of the street. 'See that squirrel? It’s been sitting there for ages, staring right through the window!' Everyone burst out laughing. Turns out, it was just a very curious rodent enjoying its breakfast view.

2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, carrying an old, dusty box under his arm. As he approached the counter, the baker raised an eyebrow: ‘What’s that?’ The neighbor smiled and said, 'Just some family treasures from Vietnam.' He opened the box to reveal a dozen tiny clay figurines, each no bigger than your thumb. The baker laughed, shaking his head. 'Next time you come with these, bring fewer—my oven is already full of cakes!'

3. A young woman entered Yen Huong Bakery early in the morning, her eyes wide as she pointed at a freshly baked pastry. "Have you ever seen anything like it?" she asked the baker. The baker shook his head and smiled. 'No, never,' he replied, 'but I’ve got plenty more where that came from.' The woman beamed, bought the pastry, and left, leaving behind an amazed delivery driver who’d just arrived with a box of croissants. 'What was that?' he whispered to himself, pointing at the empty spot where she had stood.

4. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver arrived at Yen Huong Bakery with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he opened the door, the scent of freshly baked pastries seemed unusually intense, almost as if it were trying to hide something. As he unwrapped the package, he found only a single tiny croissant, still warm and fragrant. Confused, he asked an old neighbor passing by, who smiled and said, 'That’s their secret recipe—one perfect bite for anyone who finds it.' The delivery driver took a bite and indeed felt like the best day had just begun.
