I like the vibe here – cozy indoor space and a chill outdoor area to sit and relax. I had a hot oatmilk latte and it was pretty good! The only downside is the restroom situation. It’s actually located in the restaurant next door, but there’s no sign or direction, which is a bit inconvenient. If you’re sitting near the counter, you’ll see customers asking the staff about it every few minutes.


Cafe'in - Cafe in Ho Chi Minh City

About This Place
Cafe'in occupies an upper-floor space at 22 Đặng Hữu Phổ, reachable by elevator from the basement parking, and sits flush against Laang Restaurant — a setup that lets regulars order lunch next door without leaving the building. The interiors lean toward clean lines and warm natural light: floor-to-ceiling windows face a green outdoor stretch, and the combination of comfortable indoor sections and an alfresco area means there's almost always a spot to claim regardless of the hour.
The coffee menu covers both ends of the spectrum. Traditional Vietnamese preparations sit alongside modern options — oat milk lattes that regulars return for, and a Hibiscus Cold Brew that arrives on the sweeter side. The Cherry Croffle appears for those wanting something solid, though reception has been divided: the texture draws mixed reactions, and bread items overall inspire more caution than the drinks. The kitchen occasionally sends a strong cooking smell through the space, though it typically clears within fifteen minutes.
The crowd trends young and image-conscious. Selfie opportunities are plentiful, and on weekday mornings the pace is quiet enough that the space functions as a genuine work spot — good ambient light, strong air conditioning (notably strong, according to more than one regular), and enough seating variety to settle in for a few hours. The restroom is shared with the adjacent restaurant, though there is no signage pointing the way, which catches first-time visitors off guard.
What separates this from other Thao Dien coffee stops is the physical link to a full-service restaurant, effectively extending both the menu and the stay. For anyone planning a morning session that stretches into lunch, the arrangement removes the usual trade-off between a good coffee and a proper meal.
Reviews
The drinks and design are decently good, with reasonable prices for Thảo Điền. However, the only downside is the strong smell inside the café when the staff cooks something. It’s quite heavy and uncomfortable, but it only lasts for about 15 minutes.
Okay-ish coffee shop. Not good for work, and feels a bit cramped. Wifi was mediocre, seating semi-comfy. Better choices out there, but okay for a quick snack and a pretty ambiance.
Cafe'in has good coffees and is at a good location. It is a nice place to sit down and work with a lot of sunlight and it is rather quiet. It has strong AC inside (maybe too strong). Besides, it is located near some hotspots for selfie pictures and many people come here to have coffees and take a lot of photos.
Love this coffee place. Nice design. Drinks are good, friendly staff. There are plenty of seating, inside and outdoor, feel very relaxing with all the windows look out to green surrounding. Cafe'in is connected with a nice restaurant, Laang restaurant, i ordered lunch to be brought over, food was good.
