Before arriving at today’s story link, kindly note that I’ve elected to follow the spelling on the eatery’s Instagram page: DaLat’s, as opposed to Dalat’s. On maps I’ve seen it spelled both ways; sometimes, you have to flip a dong and go with it.  

DaLat’s Gateaux & Café (6915 Southside Dr.) reopens today from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. after its new owners completed renovations. There’ll be “grand reopening” goodies, including a 15% discount on purchases. Reporter Michael L. Jones has a report at Louisville Business First.

Vietnamese cafe and bakery to reopen in South Louisville this weekend

(Co-owner Anthony Pham) and his partner Bill Ho, who’s parents founded DaLat’s in 1999, took control of the bakery and café earlier this year.

The business is named after Da Lat, the largest city of the Central Highlands region in Vietnam, where Ho’s parents were bakers before they immigrated to the U.S. The café is known for its pastries, banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), desserts, boba tea, and Vietnamese coffee.

According to Jones, “DaLat’s Gateaux & Café is open Monday through Sunday. The hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., weekdays; 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday; and 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.”
