A great indoor and outdoor place to chill! Regular promos of drinks, coffee, etc. But you’re really there to just chill and hang out! Can be slightly pricey but the drinks don’t taste bad!

The Story
About This Place
The 31 Thảo Điền branch of Katinat is one of the smaller outposts of this Ho Chi Minh City chain, with a footprint that prioritizes delivery orders and takeaway cups over lingering. Seating amounts to a handful of pavement chairs and a few spots inside — the indoor section draws consistent complaints about inadequate air conditioning, making the outdoor perch the more comfortable option when there is a breeze.
The drink menu leans into specialty tea bases: the Oolong Milk Tea With Three Leaves uses a three-tea-leaf oolong blend, while the Iki Matcha Latte and Iki Matcha Silken Tofu draw from Japanese-style preparations. Jasmine variations run several deep — Lucky Jasmine Milk Tea, Jasmine Milk Smile with pistachio, and Pistachio Coco Jasmine Tea cover different sweetness and richness levels for the same base. The espresso milk coffee has drawn favorable comparisons to standard cà phê sữa đá from reviewers who have tried both. On the snack side, dried chicken with lemon leaves and mixed rice paper with salted egg round out the menu for those wanting something solid alongside their cup.
Pricing sits in the mid-range for the neighborhood, occasionally softened by combo promotions. The high volume of delivery orders means wait times can extend during peak hours. The branch draws nearby residents and commuters rather than the sit-and-work crowd that fills Thao Dien's larger cafes. For a matcha or milk tea without committing to a table, this location delivers; for extended stays or groups larger than two, the seating constraints and aircon situation make other options in the area more practical.

Not bad
Nothing special but just another Katinat. More of a takeout place with just 4,5 seatings outside along with some more inside. You might to wait since they have quite a lot of delivery orders but acceptable. Average price and their espresso milk coffee is better than the original sua da ca phe.
This place is small and has less place for customers to sit to enjoy the moment
It’s not even a cafe…. With only seat for 4. Tiny shop. Only meant for take away. The cafe inside is like an oven! Aircon is almost zero.
