Superb food, very healthy, homely and heartwarming, absolute value-for-money 😍 My friend and I loved it so much we had to come back again the next day! And they have a menu that changes frequently (daily?) so you always get to try something new ✨️ Lovely service and nice calm environment to escape the hustle bustle outside 😛 Definitely recommend 👍🏻

Tried this cafe on our last day, reached before they even opened but they kindly let us enter and settle down still. Ordered an iced black coffee, salt coffee, avocado toast with scrambled eggs as well as a banhmi. Salt coffee was amazing. If you just drink the foam then yes it might be a little too salty but it is wonderful together with the coffee. Iced black was a good wake-up drink, hits you straight with the strong chocolatey caffeine. We were skeptical of the avocado toast at first, since it didn't look really interesting in other photos. Didn't regret getting it tho, generous spread of avocado with the fluffy scrambled eggs. Banhmi was really delicious. Definitely more pricey than the roadside banhmi I had the other day (2.5x more) but in terms of how generous their portion is and the flavour, well justified. The pork floss adds a different texture to each mouth of banhmi. Also another fantastic cafe to just chill and enjoy the morning. Might be a little difficult to spot, as you will have to walk in an alley to enter what looks like someone's house before going to the third floor, which you will also pass by an actual home on the second floor. Can only say, to be respectful and just head up all the way to the third floor along the staircase, don't wander around second floor.

Tucked away up 3 flights of stairs. Previous reviews said the 3 course meal was great, looked good. We had fried rice and fish cakes with a few drinks. Nice and relaxing venue away from the surrounding chaos of HCM. The best venues are harder to find

This is the kind of place that makes your heart whole by serving hearty home cooked meals. Seriously wasn’t expecting this when I climbed 3 flights of stairs to see a room full of people - albeit busy it was cosy with attentive service personnels. Try their vietnamese home cooked meals.
