Be Nuts Granola & Cafe - Espresso bar in Ho Chi Minh City

i discovered Be Nuts Granola & Cafe through their chess club, and I'm really glad I did. the owner is very accommodating and makes the place feel welcoming from the moment you arrive. the café has a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for chilling, having conversations, or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon break. food and coffee were both great, especially if you're into healthier options. they have a lot of healthy selections, and their nuts, oats, and granola meals are honestly amazing. everything feels fresh, balanced, and satisfying without being too heavy. one of the best parts of the place is the chess community. the vibe during chess sessions is friendly and enjoyable, making it a great spot for players of all levels to hang out and connect. whether you're coming for coffee, healthy food, or a few games of chess, this café creates a cozy and positive experience. definitely a place worth visiting if you want good food, good coffee, and a relaxing atmosphere.

I ordered for the second time to make sure the quality was maintained, and indeed it was. The Greek yogurt has a very intense flavor; if you order the medium size, you easily get tired of it. I was just disappointed that I wanted to order wild blackberries, strawberries, and other berries for the second time, but they were never available. They were only available for the catalog photo. I've already tried the smoothies, and they are quite delicious, but I won't reorder the Greek yogurt based on that.

Wonderful place for breakfast! The smoothie bowls were great, though it would be even better with a bit more granola. The avocado toast was delicious. I ordered it with salmon and expected smoked salmon, but it was cooked instead — still tasty, though it had some bones.

Delivery review. Upon delivery, noticed missing coffee, fruit, and jam in the order. Staff efficiently resolved the issue, and I eventually received the whole order after another 15 to 20 minutes. My only gripe would really be the size of the bowl. I did order the large size, and it was still quite small. Quality of food was excellent though. Lovely unsweetened homemade yoghurt, very nice fresh fruit, and quality tasting nuts. Smoothie was a good taste, and coffee was surpringly good for the price. Update: bad experience with missing additional free yoghurt cup 2 days running, where it's written in the grab app but not triggered or delivered. Owner made a ridiculous excuse that they hadn't prepared enough yoghurt!!! Really??? But you prepared enough for the actual bowls??? Ridiculous and therefore I do not recommend. Go to Pure bowls instead, just a little further up the road in Thao Dien.

This is my absolute favourite place in Ho Chi Minh City❤️!! Amazing and very kind staff and owner❤️ Delicious food and drinks that have dairy alternatives. And what keeps me coming back over and over is the cozy, welcoming, and chess-oriented atmosphere!!! It is so fun here!!! I want to stay in Vietnam for longer just so I could keep coming back here!!
