I visited a really nice coffee shop over a week ago called Coffee World, aka Cream and Fudge. It is definitely a visit especially if you like waffles, yes I said waffles. Unfortunately my current diet does not allow me to eat waffles at this time but hopefully next year I can.
Instead, I ordered a green tea latte which was very good. Yeah, I kept drooling over the waffles and ice cream. Do me a favor and have a couple waffles for me 🙂
This is one of the nicest coffee establishments I have visited in Saigon. Addresses after the photos.

Kevin, I think your definition of “best” could be modified slightly. Perhaps, “most Western” or “most expensive”? I haven’t looked at all your posts on coffee, but the few I can see appear to be elite, too shiny, and soulless. That’s great for some, but I am looking for something more real, more Saigon. Particularly in Districts 5 and 10. Got any recommendations?
Oh, and I like shops that only sell cafe sua whatever, and beer. None of that fancy stuff for me, thanks.
You make a good point, I should make a criteria for Best Saigon Coffee Shop in my blog. Normally for me, the coffee has to be good, coffees shop must be quiet so I can have a conversation, and yeah, it kind of has to remind me of a Seattle coffee house.
I know the type of coffee shop you like. There are many but I just do not have the time to visit them. The last year I chose places for meetings.
I’m going to have to start looking properly as I really haven’t found many myself. The ones I’ve frequented so far have been beautiful & quiet but with poor coffee & service, or they provide a better standard but at western prices.
My best coffee so far has been served by the lady who stands under an umbrella next to VAS in Ba Thang Hai.
I avoid coffee on the streets. They use some chemical to get that taste. Not safe to drink. I need to be sure they brewed the coffee.
I am not a coffee drinker anymore so I look for the best places for tea 🙂
