New York Bagel Thao Dien

After spending a month in Ho Chi Minh City and feeling generally disappointed with our food options, finding this bagel spot in Thảo Điền saved our trip! It was easily the best food we had during our entire stay in Saigon. The Food & Coffee: The Bagels: Phenomenal, authentic, delicious, and cooked to perfection. We discovered them near the end of our trip and were so obsessed that we made the trip back twice just for them! The Coffee: Great quality coffee that pairs perfectly with the bagels. You definitely won't be disappointed. Location & Vibe: Worth the Trip: It is located in Thảo Điền (District 2), which is outside the main tourist area. Even if you are staying in District 1 like we were, take a Grab/taxi and go. It is 100% worth the drive across the river! Atmosphere & Service: The interior is super clean, cozy, and comfortable. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Note on Restrooms: The only minor downside is that the bathrooms are located outside the main dining space, but that’s a very small trade-off for food this good. If you are craving a proper bagel in Ho Chi Minh City, do not miss this place!

The drinks were good and on par with what you’d expect from similar places, though they didn’t quite have a standout “wow” factor to set them apart. Unfortunately, the desserts were a letdown. The brownie was very tough, which was disappointing because it feels like it could have been excellent if it were fresher. The cheesecake also had a strange texture, with the cheesecake layer separating from the cookie crumb base. Overall, it’s a place with nice vibes and a pleasant atmosphere, but the brownie and cheesecake were clearly not fresh, which took away from the experience.

We had New York breakfast at this New York bagel in Thao Dien. The staff here is very friendly and they give me decent description of the food. They also offer interesting sauces, which is ketchup, chilly sauce, and mustard. I was really surprised that they also have a small space behind that so if you want to have a take a look.

🥯 I was craving a funky bagel and came across this place, and it was such a wonderful find! They have so many bagel options and even more interesting ways to eat it and fill it with. I tried the jalapeno cheese bagel, and it’s always good. The cream cheese options here are also interesting, in case you wanna go for something simple. ☕️ The coffee is very delightful, I tried the vanilla latte and caramel macchiato, both are good, and they even have oat milk option! ⭐️ The space is always peaceful and quiet when I’m here, so it’s great for working, and there’s plenty of seatings. Parking is also quite easy. Overall, very nice place. Recommend a visit if you want to try some good bagels 👍

Use to be much better. Came in. Place was full of smoke. Took them 25 min to make 3 bagels which came out in different times (we came 3 pax and had t eat separately) Food quality was ok, But doesn’t compensate on the service. Hope they can step up again. Truly need a good bagel place around.
