A new cafe and bakery is opening in Lexington, bringing dozens of sweet and savory Asian-style treats.
The Sweet Cottage Asian Bakery Cafe announced it will have a soft opening July 14 and 15, followed by a grand opening on July 16.
The restaurant is opening at 3801 Dylan Place Suite 150, just off Man o’ War, in the former Puccini’s location. Puccini’s closed in October 2025.
Owners Rattiya Tovanasutr and Cheng Hong Shi said they have a passion for Asian-style baking, acquired from living in Bangkok, Thailand. Asian-style baking, Tovanasutr said, is lighter, fluffier and less sweet than traditional bakery items.
And you can get a taste of what it’s all about before it goes live.
The cafe plans to offer 20% off the entire menu for the soft opening, with free pasty samples. And on grand opening day, you can buy two and get one free on all pastries and Asian soft buns. The first 100 customers also will receive a free drink voucher for their next visit.
The menu includes a variety of cream buns, Asian soft breads and savory breads, savory croissants and Danishes, signature croissants including the Red Velvet Bow Croissant, cookies, cakes and more. The cafe offers drinks including fruit smoothies, coffee drinks and specialty sodas.
Another unique treat: Bingsu.
Bingsu, which is Korean shaved ice, will be available in mango, strawberry, chocolate Oreo, matcha and Thai tea flavors. Bingsu is often made from frozen sweetened milk and has a fluffy, snow-like texture that melts like a creamy cloud in your mouth.
