BARTELS Thao Dien - Sourdough Sandwiches, Coffee & Juicery - Brunch restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

We ordered A LOT and we love every dish, every drink. The affogato is amazing with great coffee harmoniously combining with coconut ice-cream. Beef sandwich is good but I wish the pickles can be better. Acai smoothie tastes interesting and carrot cakes have good texture and moisture (can be a bit thicker to be close to the origional version but it’s just my personal preference). Especially, there’s a corner with toys for kids, which is ideal for family. Love that! The staff is thoughtful, I left my scrunchie on the ground and they found it and chased to give it back to me. It means they checked the table to see if there’s any guests’ belongings left. That’s one big PLUS because I always forget something lol Oh and I love the utesils here, especially the coconut husk cups. I would definitely recommend this place ❤️

This place is a go-to sourdough place that I strongly recommend. I came here several times and I really loved it. My favorite is the tuna melt, this is a bomb. It tasted amazing with the crunchy sourdough with tuna and melted cheese. Also they offer free water which is nice. I like the atmosphere with natural light, it's a perfect spot for having brunch. The staffs are nice, they can communicate in english pretty well. Definitely come here next time

Had a really great experience at BARTELS Thao Dien. The menu is surprisingly diverse with lots of offerings, from sourdough sandwiches to coffee, juices, and brunch options. Everything feels thoughtfully made. The drinks were especially impressive — very well balanced and refreshing, clearly made with quality ingredients. The sourdough was excellent too, fresh with that perfect texture and flavor that’s hard to find. The only downside is the space is a bit small, and it gets extremely packed, especially on weekends. Expect a crowd and possibly some waiting time. But honestly, the quality of the food and drinks makes it worth it. Definitely one of the better brunch and coffee spots in Thao Dien.

My friend and I recently visited Bartels after seeing quite a few ads about their sourdough bread, which made us curious enough to stop by and give it a try. Our first impression was that the menu is very well put together. Each item comes with clear photos and detailed descriptions of the ingredients, which makes it easy to understand what you’re ordering. Besides their sourdough sandwiches, the menu also offers a variety of drinks including coffee, matcha, tea, and fresh juices. A small but thoughtful touch we appreciated is that the counter provides free drinking water for customers. We ordered our food quite randomly without thinking too much, but both dishes turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The presentation was neat and visually appealing, showing that care was put into how the food is served. Flavor-wise, everything suited our taste really well. The ingredients felt carefully selected, and the balance between the sourdough bread and the fillings worked nicely. One downside, however, is the layout of the space. The hand-washing sink is located right outside next to the seatings. Even though it’s clean, it feels a bit awkward when you’re eating and someone is washing their hands right next to you. Another minor issue is that occasionally some smoke from the sandwich grill drifts into the seating area when fresh sandwiches are being toasted, which can make your clothes smell slightly after a while. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience, especially if you enjoy sourdough-based dishes and well-prepared, thoughtfully presented food

The café has a very lovely space, and every corner is perfect for photos. I only tried a sip of my sister’s smoothie, but it was surprisingly delicious – fragrant with a nicely balanced sweet and slightly tangy taste, very easy to drink. The food is healthy-style, so it feels light but still tasty. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Eating and taking photos here is definitely a 10/10. 🍓🥗📸
