Let's enjoy a cup of coffee slowly to explore its different flavors from the usual days!
Discover vibrant street cafes, where you can choose to sit on the sidewalk to experience and observe the everyday life from a different perspective.
Bitter Saigon
Stumbling upon Dien Bien Phu Street, I was struck by the authentic street-style coffee shop. It's a place that embodies the laid-back and friendly culture of the Southern region. The bar is simply designed, with an open space. No elaborate furniture, no flashy decorations, just plastic tables and chairs, newspaper stands, potted plants, and framed pictures on the wall... creating a cozy atmosphere for visitors to experience.
I chose to sit on the sidewalk to easily observe the flow of people and feel the urban atmosphere in the morning. Harmonizing with the magnificent cityscape are the sounds of cars, of casual conversations nearby, of chairs being dragged, or the clinking of iced milk coffee glasses being stirred...
On sunny days, a cup of sweet and creamy iced coffee, rich with fresh milk and the strong aroma of coffee layered with cool ice, soothes my taste buds. Besides tea and coffee, the menu also offers cookies, and bread for you to enjoy to the fullest.
DOME Saigon
Situated right at the intersection in the central area of Thu Duc with two facades, this coffee shop catches the eye with its green color accented by wooden tones. It's suitable for those who enjoy simple-style coffee shops and want to sit on the sidewalk to admire the street. The outdoor space is airy with many green trees. Inside, it is decorated in an old-fashioned style, with soft and warm lighting. Many vintage-style check-in corners attract young people.
The staff at the shop are cheerful and enthusiastic. The customers here are quite young, and occasionally there are many groups singing freestyle in acoustic style, creating a lively atmosphere. The space here is quite spacious, but for those looking for a quiet and private place, personally, I don't think this address is the optimal choice. The most characteristic drink of the shop is milk tea. You can also choose from various types of crushed ice, fruit tea, juice, smoothies, soda, yogurt, and some childhood flavors like tamarind ice, sour soup.
An Coffee
I had the experience when the shop was still located in a quiet alley on Tran Quang Dieu Street, District 3. My impression of An Coffee back then was the peaceful window frames on quiet afternoons, the sunny awnings for relaxing days, or the paper flowers silently listening to you share your joys and sorrows of life.
Upon learning that the cafe had relocated, I decided to explore. The space here is more spacious and airy. The shop is located right on Truong Sa Street, boasting a view of the riverside and rows of cool green trees. Inside, it is simply decorated with a hint of old-fashioned charm. The highlight is the black and white photos hanging on the wall. Each wooden table and chair set is arranged conveniently for guests to relax.
I chose to sit at a small table right by the entrance. The moments of watching the streets, the people passing by are precious moments after many busy days at work. I chose to drink condensed milk coffee, perfectly sweet. The shop also serves snacks. Many corners here are quite attractive, suitable for you to capture beautiful photos. The only thing that makes me not completely comfortable is that the shop also serves guests who smoke. Parking is free right next to the shop.
