Cỏ Café - Cafe in Ho Chi Minh City

A peaceful hidden gem in Bình Thạnh! Cỏ Café is a charming old school spot on Mê Linh street. The vintage vibe, quiet garden setting and classic phin coffee make it the perfect escape from the city buzz. No frills, just great atmosphere and simple, quality drinks. A true hidden gem if you love slow, nostalgic spaces

Traditional cafe with vintage decorations. Nice to enjoy the historic style of Vietnamese cafe.

Such a beautiful hidden gem only for the locals to know. Food was amazing and fresh, service was 5 Star and Atmosphere was relaxed and chilled.

[Update Jan 17, 2025] I returned here for the first time since a year ago. My opinion has changed since living in Vietnam for a year. This is an okay coffee shop. Mostly outdoor seating at small tables and with small chairs, everyone is packed together. This is still a popular place throughout the operating hours. Tried the bạc xỉu (white coffee) for 33K/$1.30. The price of the coffee is on the low-mid range. The size of the coffee is on the standard small range. *I did have to lower the stars I previously gave when I was a new expat in Vietnam and didn't know better. -- Popular place, especially late evenings. Nice place to relax and chat. The prices are comparable for the area, maybe a tad cheaper, but the coffee is on the smaller side. Have tried three yogurt drinks. To me, the coffee version didn't taste as good as the plain, but it probably tastes like it's supposed to; 30K ($1.25) ea. The blueberry is 40K ($1.65), tastes good.

Owner and the staff are kind, they are very attentive towards your order and also fine to accommodate small changes in the order. Place looks so pretty in the evening 😍 When we complimented them about how pretty their cafe is using a translator, bunch of them curiously gathered and read it! That was so cute 😅 we ordered pineapple juice, cold coffee and grilled cheese bread it was yum!
