As someone who loves music, I enjoyed my time staying at the Bluish Cafe 💙 I love the ambience of this place where you can choose your record and play it on the phonograph, experiencing the vintage music vibe. I love that they also serve coffee, pastries, and beer. If you also love to read, they have some paperbacks for you to check out and read while listening to good music or sipping your coffee. As a geek myself, this place is heaven for me! The staff were so helpful in finding some records and recommending some albums according to your genre. Kudos to the staff for being so attentive! Such a must-try cafe to visit in Saigon!

This café had an incredibly cool vibe and is a great place to hang out! I had the Pandan Latte and won't be able to forget about it, because it was just too good. The pandan flavor was there and fits so well in a latte. My partner drank a hot Vienna. The cream and the coffee tastes amazing together. The service was extremely friendly and upstairs you can even buy vinyls new or vintage. I really enjoyed the music they played and noticed how friendly this café is to work on your laptop since there are power outlets everywhere. Can highly recommend going here :)
