A total of 150 respondents were selected using a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique, consisting of consumers of Pipinos Bakery. The sampling method used in this research was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique, targeting consumers of Pipinos Bakery. The researcher conducted the study using an outer model evaluation, namely validity and reliability tests, and an inner model evaluation, including the coefficient of determination (R²), predictive relevance (Q²), path coefficient significance (two-tailed), and effect size (f²). The analysis was carried out using SEM PLS 3.0 software to obtain accurate results. The findings show that brand attachment is significantly influenced by brand experience, both directly and through brand trust as a mediating variable. These results suggest that Pipinos Bakery needs to enhance the brand experience perceived by consumers to strengthen both brand trust and brand attachment.
