FALL COLLECTION
CỐM
Introducing Green Sticky Rice, a Northern Vietnamese classic reimagined for today. Experience it for a limited time only.
Rice—Before it becomes rice.
Harvested in fall, young green sticky rice is toasted, pounded, and flattened into cốm. The result is fragrant and nutty. For generations, cốm has symbolized autumn in the Vietnamese capital. For a short time only, we’re bringing that taste of Hanoi to you.
Rice—

Harvested in fall, young green sticky rice is toasted, pounded, and flattened into cốm. The result is fragrant and nutty. For generations, cốm has symbolized autumn in the Vietnamese capital. For a short time only, we’re bringing that taste of Hanoi to you.
A taste that grows with time
There’s a traditional way to enjoy cốm: wrapping it in lotus leaves, enjoying it slowly with your hands, sometimes with a ripe banana or a cup of tea. But cốm has never really stayed in one place. Today, you’ll find its gentle, nutty sweetness in cakes, sweets, sticky rice, and drinks — familiar flavours taking on new forms. And that’s where our story with cốm begins.

A modern Vietnamese bakery-café for the world.
LÀ LÁ Bakeshop invites you to discover flavours found in one of the world’s most dynamic culinary regions: Southeast Asia.
We love to feature nostalgic ingredients that will make the kid (and adult) in you smile with joy. But we are far from traditional. Rather, we focus on modern creations that exist in the present rather than the past.
Compared to Western desserts, ours are a touch less sweet and balanced with a hint of salt. Distinctive ingredients we use include salted egg yolk, durian, and pork floss.
LÀ LÁ Bakeshop is proudly founded in 🇨🇦 Toronto, Canada.

We are building a dream: A modern Vietnamese bakery and cafe known for creative desserts rooted in our culinary heritage and genuinely friendly service.
In Vietnamese, “là lá” means “it’s a leaf.” That’s why our logo is the golden gingko, a tree that originates in Asia and has migrated to North America — a metaphor for our products, our team, and our vision.
Thank you all so much for supporting us. We couldn't be doing this without you!
