That place, on Hồ Tùng Mậu.

SOKO Cake Bake Brunch, the first "member" of SOKOGROUP, an all-day dining establishment that leans into casual daytime refreshments, which translates to brunch. We serve you European brunch classics with a modern and Asian twist. In Japanese, 'Soko' translates to 'that place/there.'. Soko is named in the hope of being that special 'place' for our customers to choose from, whether that be a quick pick-me-up drink or to enjoy a relaxing weekend brunch with their loved ones.
