Let's talk about the newest and most magnificent branch of L'Usine, which is the entire whitewashed building very Western and prominently located at the corner of Lê Thánh Tôn and Thái Văn Lung streets. This branch has a more spacious and airy space than the Đồng Khởi or Lê Lợi branches, and every corner is picturesque, just like the Western sky.

However, the Sunday brunch atmosphere at L'Usine Đồng Khởi still feels very familiar. L'Usine Đồng Khởi is located on the 1st floor of an old apartment building. The space isn't too large, so it gets quite crowded here on weekends. You can choose to sit in a vintage hallway corner or outside on the balcony overlooking Đồng Khởi Street. Overall, every corner is very relaxing.
