MELBOURNE | TamiSweet is a Vietnamese cafe and patisserie that opened in St Albans in 2016. What began as a business primarily catering to the neighbourhood’s large Vietnamese population, soon grew as word of owner Minh “Tami” Hà’s cakes got around. Late last year, Tami opened a second store on Lonsdale street in the CBD. I popped in to visit for What’s On Melbourne.
The space is small and relaxing, especially popular in the evenings for those looking for a post work sweet treat to take home. On the menu you’ll find a selection of cakes, cookies, and desserts, along with coffee and non-coffee lattes.
The signature item that Tami has been making since day one is her salted egg yolk (nông lan trứng muối) cake. Like most of the cakes at TamiSweet, it’s available in three sizes – cupcake, small share cake, or large celebration size. The must-order signature cake is a light and savoury, ever so sweet sponge cake, layered with salted egg yolk sauce, and topped with pork floss. An intriguing and delicious blend of flavours and textures.
Other treats include things like a moist strawberry cake, earl grey cake with boba and cheese foam, and red velvet cookies. If you’re after something to drink, there’s regular coffee based drinks, as well as things like cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee), cà phê muối (Vietnamese salt cream coffee), and matcha lattes. If you’ve not tried cà phê muối before, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
