The coffee is just the best in this area. The baristas are very caring (Quỳnh và Hưng). Got us to taste some incredible blueberry coffee. Good place to work as well.

If you’re an IB student looking for an environment to settle down and focus, delab is the workplace you need. The atmosphere is homely, unique and peaceful - ideal for music loving and coffee appreciating fanatics. The workers are friendly, helpful and interactive - making the space feel lively and natural. The drink menu? Curated to fit today’s palette with the best seller and my recommended for your visit - the strawberry guava tea 😮💨. Through thao dien’s plethora of cafes, delab is out there as a place to work, socialize and representative of viet nam’s coffee industry.
A calm, beautifully curated café with great taste and a very cozy atmosphere. The space is thoughtfully designed — there’s a shelf of vinyl covers arranged so nicely, and a dedicated matcha station that’s ideal for anyone looking to sit down and get some work done. The coffee is aromatic and well-made, and overall the space feels extremely comfortable and easy to spend time in. A lovely spot to slow down and enjoy the ambiance.
Stumbled upon Delab in Thao Dien and it’s a total mood. It’s a tiny, intimate space, but the vinyl player spinning in the corner gives it such a nostalgic, laid-back energy. Their matcha is legit, properly whisked and actually high quality, and the coffee is just as solid. It’s definitely one of those hidden gems that deserves way more love. Honestly, it's the perfect spot to just unplug and listen to some records for an hour.
Love the salted coffee. No foam on top but very tasty. The Sakura Jasmine Oolong Tea is quite refreshing for a hotter climate. Barista Dung is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to discuss the passion for coffee. Extra plus is a gorgeous building across the street called The VEIL by famed architect Khoa Vu
