Vie Bakery (formerly Vie a Paris French Bakery)

I learned a few years ago that when the French occupied Vietnam, they taught the Vietnamese their making techniques and recipes. So the Vietnamese not only have amazing cuisine on their own, but they have incredible bakeries. This is a small gem in Hurst(yes, Hurst) that is a Vietnamese owned French bakery. The owner is incredibly skilled and creative with her pastries. Nothing that I've had is overly sweet, which is exactly how I like it. But you can tell that she puts time and effort into every cake and pastry that they produce. The flavors and varieties are great for such a small place and everything I've had is incredible. Give them a try when you are craving a party or a really well made (non giant chain) local coffee.

Don't judge a book by its cover, and this applies to this hidden gem bakery as well! I was expecting to see a whole display of cakes when I walk in, but I didn't. It looks like they mainly sell custom cakes for pickups. The interior was very clean and simple with all the plants. I asked if they have any small cakes for sale and she pointed me to this other fridge behind the rotating cake display. There were a couple of small cakes, but I got the Italian Cream and my sister got the Black Forest. The Asian lady was super sweet. She brought us the pieces and some water so we can dine in. The cakes were so light and reminded me of my favorite bakery back in Kansas. The flavors were good and it wasn't crazy sweet either. I wish they had more flavors available so I can try them all to know my

Strawberry Short Cake ! My favorite cake of all time. At least 30+ years of ordering this cake for any type of special occasion. Always consistent , never disappointed! I would Recommend to call and preorder the size you like. I hope you love it as much as I do …)

We were in town and decided to stop by this bakery. Place is small with plenty of seating areas to eat with an outdoor seating patio option. They serve different coffee flavors and pastries. My husband is a sweet tooth eater and I'm not into sweets. He ordered: #1 Tiramisu (the cocoa dust) layered vanilla and chocolate sponge cakes with sweet whipped cream, not mascarpone or cream cheese which normal tiramisu has. We didn't finish it. #2 Vanilla Napoleon (white glaze) custard cream wasn't smooth and creamy and pastry layers were few days old. Not a fan of this one. #3 Eclair even though the profiterole itself was on the flatter side the chocolate filling was creamy with rich dark chocolate taste. Husband ate the whole thing in one bite. As we tried all three, eclair was ok for us.

**Super friendly staff** Great variety Tiramisu 4/5 Almond croissant 3/5 Eclair 2/5 The tiramisu was very unique, they were pre-sliced and covered with some type of frosting that firmed up slightly giving it a fun texture on the exterior. If I come back it will be to sample some of the other cakes
