UGO CAFÉ - Coffee shop in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

It was pleasant experience to refresh my day. Kind service and beautiful flowers change my day.

Went to this cafe for bouquet making and we really had a really good time there. It took us time to choose flowers and everything, but Jenny (owner) was patient and really helpful. You can make your own bouquet at a really reasonable price! Definitely worth going! ❤️ The drinks are quite good too!

Such a unique and wonderful concept! It’s a flower buffet and cafe all in one. You get to select your own fresh blooms from their beautiful, tiered displays to build a custom bouquet, all while enjoying a great cup of coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly charming and creative. It’s the perfect spot for a weekend date, a catch-up with friends, or just some peaceful solo time

Today my friend and I joined the flower arrangement workshop at Ugo, and unfortunately it turned out to be the worst workshop experience I’ve ever had. Space (2/5) The café itself is quite small. There aren’t enough tables or space for both regular customers and workshop participants to sit comfortably or move around. Beverages & Pastries (3/5) The prices are reasonable, and the quality… is exactly what you’d expect for the price 🙂 The coffee was just okay. The croissant, however, was so flaky and dry it could compete with the Sahara Desert. It was probably due to reheating, but either way, I wouldn’t recommend ordering it. The Workshop (1/5) The workshop runs in three shifts (9:00–11:00, 11:30–13:30, and 14:00–16:00). The middle shift is slightly cheaper (10k less), while weekends cost a bit more—which is completely fair and clearly stated. My friend booked two slots for the 11:30 session. When we arrived, the previous session was still occupying the space, so there wasn’t really anywhere for us to start. After paying for two workshop + drink & pastry combos, we went to pick our flowers… only to find that most of the remaining flowers were visibly wilted and looked like leftovers (photos attached). We asked two staff members at the flower counter whether fresh flowers would be refilled. They told us flowers are only replenished once for the afternoon session. So if you book the middle shift, congratulations—you apparently get whatever survived the morning customers. What an interesting business model. We pointed out that there weren’t enough decent flowers for the second session, but were met with complete silence. Back at the cashier, we requested a refund because there simply weren’t enough flowers to reasonably conduct the workshop. The response? “I’ve already printed the receipt.” I understand the staff may not have the authority to make decisions, but what disappointed me was that no one informed customers about the flower shortage before taking payment. We weren’t the only ones—some other customers had already paid and were stuck trying to make bouquets from the remaining wilted flowers because, well, the money had already been spent. As for the workshop itself, the guidance was minimal, and the flower wrapping assistance wasn’t particularly helpful or skillful compared to dedicated floral workshops. To be fair, I don’t blame the staff personally—they’re running a coffee shop, not a florist or a workshop studio. That’s exactly why I think Ugo should stick to being a charming coffee shop that happens to sell flowers, instead of marketing flower arrangement workshops they clearly aren’t equipped to deliver consistently. A workshop isn’t just about providing flowers—it’s about providing enough quality materials, adequate guidance, and an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, this missed the mark on all three. Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, and I wouldn’t recommend the flower workshop to anyone.

We were in the mood for something sweet and happened upon this place. We just got some milk tea, but the staff was really sweet (so I guess we found what we were looking 🤣). They even cut a fresh flower and gave it to my wife. We didn't get to try the coffee , but will be back to do that. I should also mention that they have a chill outdoor seating area setup if you're looking for that vibe.
