I'd erase my memory just to drink that iced coffee again! 🙌 It's a shame I didn't try the desserts, but I'll definitely do that next time.

Café De Elin is easily one of the best spots in Japan Town. I had a Japanese Matcha Latte with soy milk and a slice of chocolate cake—both were absolutely delicious. Great location and high-quality drinks; definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! 🐸
Travel Cafe Eat Drink - Malaysia & Asia This matcha cafe in Japan town Saigon has nice matcha drinks and matcha tiramisu is one the the best seller here.
Café De Elin (カフェ・ド・エリン) is a solid little spot tucked into the hem, offering a rare pocket of sanity in Ho Chi Minh’s red-light district. The staff are friendly, the menu is decent, and the service is exceptional—a welcome change from the usual hustle that defines much of the nightlife in this part of town. Unlike the venues where you’re charged for someone else’s drinks, time, and presence, this place respects your space. No arm-grabbing, no gimmicks. Just a clean, quiet café where you can people-watch, enjoy a drink, and not feel like you’re being milked for every last đồng. In a country where value for money has all but vanished, Café De Elin is one of the last few places that still feels worth it. Five stars.
Such an amazing place in Saigon! Matcha & theirs tiramisu is A MUST! ❤️ 10/10 Highly recommended 🥰🥰🥰
