The Story
About This Place
Bud's Cafe sits on Song Hành in An Phú, blending a café with a broader Thai and Vietnamese food menu across a daily window that runs from 7am to 10pm. The interior leans heavily on wood — chairs, tables, and accents throughout — giving it a warmer atmosphere than the sleeker glass-and-concrete spots that dominate this pocket of District 2. Regulars point to the Pad Thai and Mango Shrimp Salad as standouts, while the American-style Wagyu beef draws curiosity from newer visitors. Broken rice (cơm tấm) and bánh tầm bì represent the Vietnamese side of a dual menu that, according to multiple visitor accounts, sometimes requires asking explicitly for the second, fuller menu.
Pricing tracks below many nearby District 2 options, and every order comes with free unlimited iced tea — a small addition that surfaces repeatedly across reviews as a genuine differentiator. The marble coffee, in the style of café muối, divides opinion; the ice cream, by contrast, earns consistent praise from those who get to it.
The clientele skews toward office workers and people using the space for partner or client meetings rather than students; the setting carries enough polish for professional encounters without tipping into formal territory. A commonly noted weak spot is the restroom, which feels noticeably unfinished relative to the rest of the fit-out.
Wifi is available throughout, reinforcing its utility as a work-friendly daytime stop, though the kitchen range — chicken wings, crab spaghetti, Thai dishes — means it functions as much as a restaurant as a café, making it one of the more versatile all-day options in the An Phú end of the neighborhood.

Nice coffee shop. Marble coffee (kind of cafe muoi) wasn t really my taste but maybe other drinks are better.
The place is nice, the food is good, service is acceptable. However, for such a chic place to have a small, unfinished restroom is a shame. At least the restroom is somewhat clean and has no odor.
This is a luxury cafe. I don't find it suitable for students but for office workers and partners to meet here.
I found out this place have yummy Thai food, chicken wings, and Pad Thai comparing to California Thai Food this is pretty delicious, Mango and Shrimp Salad I had was amazing as well😋 For District 2 area, the prize in this restaurant is less expensive than others nearby vendors, free unlimited Ice tea, wifi, and cozy space is a plus! They also have premium fruits on the side, will try more next time. Also waiting to try American style Wagyu beef as well 😋😋
