With unique flavors and exceptional nutritional value! Natural yeast bread made with meticulous care
Ha and Quang, who have experience studying abroad in Western countries, were passionate about Western cuisine, especially bread-making from scratch. After returning to Vietnam, they grew yeast in a different Vietnamese climate from that in Europe and repeatedly tried and tested to successfully make sourdough bread. They launched their online sales in 2023 and received positive feedback from customers, so they decided to open a physical store in June 2024. Then, Linh and Trang, who are in charge of creating drinks and the brand's concept and design, joined the team, and they are where we are today. The store adheres to strict quality standards for imported ingredients, and the preparation of bread requires a 24-hour process that includes mixing, fermentation, and baking. The "Classic White," made with unbleached wheat flour, "Garden White," loaded with cranberries and mixed nuts, "Multigrain," containing nutrients such as malt and oats, "Multi Grain," featuring four varieties of sourdough bread popular in Japan, and light snacks made with bread are also available.
The store's name "Gezellin" means "people who walk together" in Dutch, and it embodies the passion of four people to create lasting value.
As you enter the store, a faint aroma of freshly baked bread with a sweet scent wafts from the counter.
They also paid attention to the interior, aiming to create a cozy space with warm colors.
Rise & Dine
5100,000 VND
Cinnamon Roll
50,000 VND
A nutritious breakfast set
A set featuring two slices of bread of your choice, plus one type of compound butter or jam of your choice. I chose garlic butter this time. The bread, with the natural yeast acidity, is crispy on the outside and warm on the inside, while the soft, moist center is perfect for the fragrant garlic butter. You can also add crispy sugar-preserved bacon (30,000 VND), which adds even more flavor.
With a gentle sweetness that satisfies the heart and blends smoothly in the mouth
Rolled bread with a rich aroma of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The inside is fluffy and the outside is crispy. This is a popular dish especially in winter. It costs 15,000 VND and can be topped with a cream cheese frosting with a slight acidity. If you want to enjoy a more rich and deep flavor, we recommend pairing it with salted caramel pecan cream.
Multigrain Bread
110,000 VND
Cafe Latte
55,000 VND
Handcrafted bread made with meticulous care
Containing ingredients such as malt, rye, oat, soybeans, and sunflower seeds, Sawdown Bread is characterized by its natural acidity from the yeast and its moist and soft texture that doesn’t dry out. The weight of a 1-kilogram loaf ranges from 550 to 600 grams. It is kneaded and fermented for eight hours, then folded into dough in four to five separate batches at intervals of one hour. This is a high-nutrient carbohydrate source that is safe for people on a diet.
A classic drink that pairs perfectly with bread
Latte is an espresso made with beans blended from the Arabica and Robusta varieties, combined with milk from a Japanese brand. With a velvety smooth mouthfeel and no bitterness, it also boasts a rich aroma, creating a perfect balance with freshly baked pastries. The latte art is fun to watch and perfect for a leisurely autumn day in Hanoi.
