Where cake needs no wheat
In’Joy calls itself a "gluten free bakery" — and the round blade sign out on Truong Dinh says the same: IN’JOY / CAFÉ & BAKE / GLUTEN-FREE.
Saigon has many bakeries. A bakery built for people who can’t eat gluten is rare.
Every In’Joy recipe starts from rice flour, tapioca and corn starch — not a gram of wheat flour in the kitchen. Celiacs, the gluten-allergic, or anyone who just wants a lighter stomach after cake: everyone can eat here without asking "does this have wheat in it?".
Look around and you’ll see the shop’s signatures: handwritten wooden price tags in the bake case, glass jars with the rose-pink "GLUTEN FREE" dot, In’Joy-stamped plates and napkins, and the round white sign over tree-lined Truong Dinh.
The space splits into four zones: breezy open-air seats, the ground floor, an air-conditioned room, and the kids’ corner with its wooden climbing wall — a skylight keeps it all airy. Quiet mornings suit laptop work; at midday the savory kitchen serves banh mi, pizza and fried chicken.
