Bond's Coffee Shop

Located on Hoa Hao Street, District 10, Bond's Coffee Shop stands out with its impressive anime-themed banner. Upon entering the interior space, you'll be amazed by thousands of various-sized models of beloved manga characters on the walls, shelves, tables, and even on the unique design of the chairs. The depicted characters range from classic and familiar ones like Doraemon, the 5 friends Nobita, Xuka, Chaien, Xeko, Dekhi, and the mischievous monkey Son Goku, to the latest characters like the virtual singer Miku Hatsune with her cute smile, distinctive long green hair. Even iconic superheroes like Batman, Spiderman, and Superman are elegantly displayed in a corner of the cafe.

The second distinctive feature is that when you visit the cafe, you not only get to admire your favorite manga characters and strike a pose but also have the opportunity to purchase them. The downside is that the prices are quite steep. Only the cute manga character keychains or affordable adorable notebooks are relatively 'soft' on your wallet.

Ộp Coffee

Nestled on a tiny street so discreet that without a Google search, no one would know of its existence, Ộp is small and unassuming with two distinct spaces. One is the outdoor area with a few wooden chairs, a light green climbing mesh, and the other is the warm and friendly interior with cozy seating arrangements. However, what truly sets this place apart is the coffee's quality, dominating over 80% of the menu.

To achieve this, the cafe exclusively sources coffee from processing workshops. After receiving the supply, they brew and sell to customers within the first 15 days. From the 16th day onward, a fresh batch replaces the coffee. Such a rigorous process ensures that when you indulge, you'll experience all the delicious flavors, fragrances, a subtle acidity mingled with the pure bitterness of pure coffee.

Built on an eco-friendly concept, Ích is inviting and close to nature, with comfortable seating corners and greenery mostly comprising herbs and vegetables wrapping around walls and in pots under the chairs. For every bill exceeding 30,000 VND, customers receive a small potted plant as a gift, encouraging them to take it home and cultivate.
