Character macarons on a plate: bear, fish, peach faces
Character macarons on a plate (bear, fish, peach faces) under the "Bittersweet CAKERY & CAFÉ — A fairytale-like café hidden in Saigon" overlay — the hero.

Character macarons

Bear, fish, peach, Totoro, chick, penguin, avocado — every macaron has a face, a name, a flavour.

Resident cats

A grey cat on a chair, a kitten peering at iced drinks — the cats are part of the room, not decoration.

Garden terrace

White bentwood chairs, floral cloths, roses and purple flowers among potted plants — cake and iced coffee in the sun.
