Passio coffee 36 Thao Dien - Coffee shop in Ho Chi Minh City

Positioned at the entrance of the APSC compound on Thảo Điền street, this Passio franchise operates as a compact pop-up stall attached to the Anh Phu supermarket block. Seating is entirely outdoors under umbrellas — a practical setup for the 6 AM crowd heading into the compound or stopping before the day begins. The format suits regulars who know what they want: cà phê sữa and cold brew cam are the orders that come up most often, keeping things simple for a neighborhood grab-and-go. The staff draw consistent praise across multiple reviews for being warm and approachable, which matters at a small format outlet where the barista interaction is most of the experience. Hours run a tight 6 AM to 6 PM every day, so this is not a late-afternoon destination. The trade-off with franchise branches is consistency — a handful of reviews flag drink preparation that strayed from what regular Passio customers expect, so peak hours may see variable results. For those already in the Thảo Điền compound ecosystem or making a run to Anh Phu, it fills a functional gap well: an early-opening, familiar chain option in a stretch of the street that doesn't have many alternatives at that hour.
