Good service and decent drink options but food options very limited with cottage cheese pancakes. And tzatiki sour dough eggs and the usual spread of eggs with pate and sour dough. Nice location to stare at the water. Good service and nice staff

Hong Cafe is one of the most famous coffee spots with a beautiful Saigon River view. If you love outdoor seating and fresh air, this place is highly recommended. We stopped here after a run to relax and enjoy coffee — such an amazing experience. The view, atmosphere, and coffee make it a perfect place to unwind.
Nice place on the river. Kitchen is amazing. Burger, dumplings with blueberries, Bo ne - my head was blown away.
Friendly and relaxed atmosphere in a quiet surrounding. I especially liked the grapefruit orange oolong, as it wasn't very sweet at all. Thanks!
I recently visited Hong Cafe with my friends, and thought it was quite a nice surprise at the end of an alley in Thao Dien. It seems popular on a Saturday morning despite its location; people are coming in and out all the time. We loved the open space overlooking the river. The drink menu offers a lot of options which I really like. I ordered the egg coffee and it was very tasty. Although, if you don’t have a sweet tooth, you might want to ask for it less sweet. They also offer a large menu of Mediterranean food that you may like to try. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something new and different from the usual closed-door, overcrowded spots in D2.
