Last night I went to probably the best coffee shop in Saigon at the moment. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the place. I vaguely remember the area but it was located next to the train tracks in the Phu Nhuan District. It will probably be one of Saigon’s best kept secrets for awhile.
I will tease you with a couple photos. They service was great, it was just a very pleasant place to relax at with nice pools and gardens. The noise of people talking were drowned out by the garden. I can see this place to be very relaxing and cool during a hot day as well.
I will try to get the name and address next time I visit, that is if I remember where it is at 🙂
Kevin,
Reminds me of a coffee shop that I went to in Bao Loc. I think the name of it was Thanh Nguyen. Very quiet lots of plants and water pools. They also had little huts that one could use for privacy. I really enjoyed it.

I need to get a good camera as well to get better pictures. I already miss this coffee shop 🙂
Nice cafe. However, the best big chain cafe is Coffee Bean on Pasteur and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai. Good coffee, fast internet and spacious upstairs.
@Yon: Sorry but I am the, umm, expert coffee shop reviewer in these parts 🙂
I will try Coffee Bean when I get the chance. I always pass it.
So the best coffee shop in town is 5 mins from my house, but you forgot the name 🙂 You’re killing me 🙂
I know the general area 🙂
this is the “Mi?n ??ng Th?o” coffee. The address is:
221A Nguy?n Tr?ng Tuy?n, Phú Nhu?n District
It’s also near my house. So i often go there too. It’s so nice!
There goes the secret 🙂
I may have been to this cafe shop, twice, but i could be wrong. Stayed over a week at local hotel on Truong Son street in Quan 11 and going out with sister’s friends to lots of coffee shops. Mostly in Phu Nhuan district.

This is not near District 11, closer to Tan Binh. It is very new so there is no way you could have visited it yet. Really nice so you have to visit it.
Is there pro reviewer in Quan 10? I need some advise but not in Phu Nhan, too far away from my place 😀
Well thx for ur places, nice info
I have been to many coffee shops, I just forget to pull out my camera 🙂
Sorry to spoil your secret Kevin…
The coffee shop that you are referring to is: Mien Dong Thao Cafe.
Address is: 221A Nguyen Trong Tuyen, P.8, Q. Phu Nhuan.
I agree it very spacious although in my personal opinion the owner (same owner as Du Mien Cafe) was really stretching it when they decided to build the third level. I go there often during the day and it’s quiet and relaxing and sometimes at night and I never see the third level filled up.
My main gripe is that there is NO WIFI so if internet access is important this is not the right place. By the way, neither does Du Mien Cafe.
But having said that, come for the ambiance and relax with your favorite beverage.
This is still my favorite cafe until I find a comparable designed cafe with wifi.
@Dylan: I like the no wifi policy of his coffee shops. I normally get distracted away from why I am meeting somebody. That is why I think Du Mien is perfect for meetings 🙂
