Mori Coffee occupies a low-key stretch of Thảo Điền Street with a bean selection that stands out even by the neighborhood's increasingly serious coffee standards. Where most specialty cafes reserve single-origin lots for filter only, the menu here makes them available across brewing methods including espresso — a small distinction that matters to the regulars who rotate through the lineup across visits.
The pour-over program anchors the experience: a Mexican varietal brewed Americano-style, a Vietnamese catimor prepared in Japanese fashion, and enough rotation to reward repeat visits. The matcha sparkling has attracted particular attention, with multiple reviewers comparing it favorably to drinks encountered in Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong. The coco cold brew and cinnamon latte have their own followings among the less filter-inclined.
The space is deliberately contained — limited seating, natural materials, unhurried music, and three or four cats that move through the room and account for much of the atmosphere. Laptop workers settle in for long stretches during weekday afternoons, drawn by the calm and the 7:30 AM opening. The short menu is a deliberate choice: a handful of well-sourced options rather than a sprawling list.
A few practical notes worth knowing before arriving: card payments have proven unreliable despite posted Visa signage, making cash the dependable option. Oat milk carries a 30,000 VND surcharge. Pricing runs above the Thảo Điền median, which reflects the sourcing. The cats are a genuine part of the character here — positioned away from food prep, though opinions on the arrangement split predictably along hygiene lines.

Beautiful spot, and love the cats! They're so sweet and friendly. I had this cinnamon latte while working from my laptop here for the day. It was quite good and flavorful. The staff was also polite. The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't let me pay with my card after telling them I was traveling and trying to conserve cash. Even though they had the Visa logo prominently posted. Outside of that, it was a nice spot to sip my coffee and and get some focused work done!
I’m genuinely blown away by how incredible the matcha sparkling at Mori Coffee is! 🌿✨ The flavor is so refined and perfectly balanced — smooth, refreshing, and full of depth. Honestly, it tastes even better than some of the matcha drinks I’ve tried in Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong. The aroma, the texture, and the subtle sweetness all come together beautifully, making it a truly world-class experience. Huge compliments to Mori Coffee for crafting something this exceptional! 👏☕️
Loved the natural vibes and atmosphere in this cafe of tranquility and zen. I tried the Mexican varietal of hot, pour over coffee in an Americano format and loved the subtle flavours that danced forth on my pallate. Some people had complained that the cats were unhygenic but tbh they add to the sense of calm in the cafe and they were nowhere near the food prep areas as some had claimed in their reviews. Staff were on point, able to answer both my coffee menu queries and explain the drink differences with a smile. Free chilled water with tactical top ups was a nice added touch too. I will definitely be back for a return visit or two in the future!
I ordered Vietnamese catimor hand-poured brew coffee. It was dark roasted but under extracted. The barista clearly wanted to use Japanese-style brewing to express the richness of flavour. Suggestion is use origami or flannel filter. Hope coffee can be better. Their cats are supremely cute by the way:)
Friendly staff, decent menu and nice interior/atmosphere, but having 3-4 cats constantly walking around in a Food & Beverage facility is totally not acceptable. It is just not hygienic to have cats walking on tables, chairs, and worst of all also where the food is prepared. Their litter box is positioned at the back of the café as well, inside the guests area. They look cute but animals just don't belong where food is prepared and served. I see others have commented on it below even a year ago but it seems the management is not convinced this is an issue. A pity as otherwise I'd love to come back.
