The Story
About This Place
The Coffee VN occupies a two-floor space on Vũ Tông Phan in An Phú, a quieter pocket of the district that draws expats and locals looking for somewhere to settle in without the ambient noise of busier Thao Dien strips. The upper floor is the better option—longer tables for laptops, cushioned chairs, and a calmer atmosphere than the ground level. Wooden finishes and warm overhead lighting keep the interior from feeling corporate, striking a balance between modern and livable.
The drink menu works from Vietnamese staples outward. Oolong tea has built a following among repeat visitors, and the mocha coffee draws consistent mentions alongside it. Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk runs 40,000 VND—honest pricing for the neighborhood, though reviews suggest it lands in competent rather than exceptional territory. Croissants and pastries fill out the food side: reliable enough to anchor a full morning without being a destination in themselves.
Staff are a genuine operational strength—English-speaking, consistently polite, and attentive across multiple visits. A guard manages scooter parking outside, which matters on a street where space is limited. WiFi has generally held up, though at least one visitor flagged connectivity issues. Background music runs toward pop and can get loud, but tends to settle into instrumental later in the day.
What separates The Coffee VN from the cluster of cafes along the main drag is the Tuesday-night English Club (7–9 PM), a free drop-in conversation session that shifts the space from daytime work cafe into something more social without changing its essential character. Sunday afternoons have been noted as surprisingly quiet—useful for anyone who needs a few focused hours without competing for a seat. At 4.3 stars across 374 reviews, the place earns its rating through consistency rather than spectacle.

Vietnamese coffee wi the condensed milk here is 40k and it is not so good. There is a 2nd floor and it’s nicer than the bottom floor. There are some long tables and comfy chairs. Everything is pretty clean as well as the bathroom. You can park your scooter right outside and there is a plenty of space.
Good croissant and ok coffee. Nice place to study or work. Nice modern ambience with nice choice of music. They also have English Club on Tuesday Night from 7pm to 9pm. Just for chit chat in English to meet new people. Why’s not?
Good drinks with acceptable price, this could be a good destination in the coffee shop market in Ho Chi Minh city. With the following points this could be a perfect competitor for other coffee shop business. 1. Modern design: the place is constructed with the modern architecture with well layout that customer can have their own unique corner in single or in group. Wooden material combined with the warm light brings the warm atmosphere to its customers 2.

Furthermore, we could order juices here thats could blow your mind. 3. Friendly staff: the staff is really friendly and supportive from start till you receive you drink. 4. Good internet connection: the wifi signal here is strong and there are many access points for you to choose, with the 5G support also. 5.

Good clean place, good iced Vietnamese milk coffee and polite staff. Pop music was a little loud, but it later changed to instrumental music. Will be back ... have been back several times since first visit. Good place and iced cold a/c!
