Cafe Reviews in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
1. Ola Hale Restaurant & Bar
Address - In front of the Pink Church
Highlights - Clear and beautiful view of the church. The cafe has 4 floors, each with picturesque views. The first floor is a cafe, the second floor serves food, the third floor is a bar, and the fourth floor is a rooftop. The drinks are delicious, but a bit pricey. However, the view is worth it.
Rating - 8/10. The staff are very attentive and provide good service, but you can't choose your own table, which is a bit disappointing. The cafe charges a service fee, which we felt was unnecessary as the service wasn't exceptional. The best part was the security guard who helped us cross the street; he deserved all the tips.
2. Meraki Cafe
Address - Located on the 5th floor of the cafe apartment. We walked up, but there's a charge for using the elevator, which the cafe can refund.
Highlights - Delicious drinks and a great atmosphere. The area we sat in was filled with aromatic products. The cafe sells tea, fragrances, scented candles, and sprays, all of which smell wonderful. They also sell handmade items.
Rating - 10/10. Everything was perfect, and the staff provided excellent service.
3. Paper&I Cafe
Address - Near our accommodation, just a short walk across the street in District 3.
Highlights - The cafe has 3 floors. The first floor is the cafe area, the second floor is a quiet library for reading, and the third floor serves food and drinks. The drinks were a bit unusual; they tend to add strange ingredients to the tea. I ordered peach tea, and they added lotus seeds, which gave it a formalin-like smell. It was a bit disappointing, but the decor is cute and the atmosphere is nice.
Rating - 10/10. There are many drink options, the atmosphere is good, the air conditioning is cool, and there's free Wi-Fi for customers. If you choose the right drink, it can be delicious.
4. Highlands
Address - Located in Tan Son Nhat Airport, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
Highlights - There are seats for customers, but they are in the sun, so we sat in front of the cafe instead. The drinks are made quickly and taste good. The staff provide good service and recommend combo deals for drinks and snacks. The snacks are delicious and worth the price.
Rating - 10/10. The staff provide good service, though they don't smile much. They also prepare spoons and straws for drinks with fruit toppings.
