Perched along the Thao Dien riverfront, this branch of the national coffee chain delivers something most outlets cannot: an unobstructed sightline to Landmark 81 and the Saigon River bridge from a generous outdoor terrace. The space is newly constructed, with high ceilings and a fit-out that feels more deliberate than a standard chain rollout — reviewers single out even the bathrooms as notably well-designed, a small detail that signals the care put into the build.
Drinks and food follow the familiar Highlands menu: Vietnamese iced coffee, blended beverages, light snacks, and pastries at price points that stay accessible by Thao Dien standards. Free parking, scarce in this part of the neighborhood, is a practical advantage for the motorbike crowd.
The outdoor sections face the water directly, and on clear evenings the view of Landmark 81 illuminated against the sky gives the space a different quality than the typical cafe stop. Indoor seating is more limited — groups larger than four or five may find the configuration less accommodating, especially on weekends when walk-in traffic is heavy. The branch sits close to several bars and restaurants along the same strip, making it a natural anchor point before or after a longer evening out.
Staff receive consistent praise across reviews for attentiveness and warmth, which stands out given the customer volume a prominent chain location generates. Open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM, the space works across the full day — morning coffee, midday break, or a riverside seat to watch the light change over the water as evening settles in.

This is a typical Highlands coffee store. There's a lot of outdoor sitting spaces but I wish there were more indoor tables for large groups. Also the bathroom is beautiful but I think there should be more bathrooms. The food and drinks are as great as always.
The location is super perfect to chill. Facing the magnificient landmark 81 and saigon river/bridge. Very close to a different bars and resto.
Great concept, very fresh look- the staff is great and coffee good - been to many outlets and always a very good feel!
Staff are so kind. Nice atmosphere. Only cons is I think they only have 1 bathroom for each gender
Nice view
