The Old Compass Cafe and Bar

This place is absolutely incredible! You won't believe how beautifully set and welcoming it is, especially when you see the entrance from the street. It's located on the third floor. The food is delicious, and the staff are so friendly. I'll definitely be having breakfast here every day!

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 👍🏻

Located on the 3rd floor of a vintage apartment building down a quiet alley. It is an hidden place of calmness, peace. For anyone wanting to discover the raw, nostalgic beauty of old Saigon corners, this is an absolute must-visit. A quiet workspace, an intimate chat, or hosting a relaxed business meeting. They also have daily tour which can provide you the truly Saigon experience. - Staffs are friendly and helpful. - Drinks are fresh and non-sugar added. ombo juice, earl grey tea.

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.

It's a beautiful place. The food and drinks are good. The price is ok for that quality. Simple menu. Small place. It's on the 3rd floor of an old building. Not suitable for the sore legs.
