The French name says it plainly — légumes means vegetables — and Légumes Vietnam delivers on that premise across two floors of Nguyễn Cừ, combining a well-stocked healthy grocery with a full juice and smoothie bar. The concept sits in a sweet spot for Thao Dien's health-conscious crowd: residents can grab acai bowls or blended smoothies at the counter, then pick up organic pantry staples, cold-pressed juices, and artisan chocolates before heading home. That dual function — café stop and grocery destination in one visit — is rare in the neighborhood, where most spots do one or the other. A 4.8 rating across 647 Google reviews places it among the highest-rated venues in the district, a signal of consistent execution rather than novelty alone. The doors open at 7 AM every day of the week, catching early risers and morning runners before the neighborhood fully wakes up, and stay open until 9:30 PM, long enough to cover an evening grocery run. The product range skews toward imported health foods, superfoods, and minimally processed goods — the kind of selection that draws expat families and local wellness regulars in roughly equal measure. Compared to standard convenience stops in Thao Dien, the focus here is unambiguously on ingredient quality and transparency, with the smoothie bar acting as a live demonstration of what the shelves stock.
Finally a place to find affordable natural healthy products. Vegan protein is made from real ingredients and is a great price! Amazing smoothie and açaí bowls, bulk seeds and nuts, get the pumpkin seeds. Mindful packaging, aluminum free deodorant. Mindful about plastic waste and very knowledge friendly staff!
A perfect spot for anyone looking for healthy and vegan options. The freshly baked breads are absolutely amazing ❤️ Can easily order from Grab too.
Legumes is a great vegan friendly store. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The products at legumes are carefully selected and crafted. There are gluten free options as well. The deli shop is quick. Legumes has fresh baked goods as well. Perfect place for nutritious options
This is one of my favourite stores in Saigon. Everything is home-made, with quality simple ingredients at a good price point. It is perfect for vegans and anybody that is health conscious or wants to try Vietnamese classic snacks without all of the MSG and chemicals. You can also buy huge bags of nuts at really reasonable prices, again all natural without chemicals or additives. I couldn’t recommend this store enough to people looking for healthy natural food.
The good: wide variety of vegan-friendly products and ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. Some are marked as organic. Good attitude, English speaking staff. The bad: I tried several dishes and products by now and everything was below average, some awful. The gelatos are ghastly, just tasteless and frozen watery mess (tried avocado and pistachio, the latter turned out to contain milk powder – why?) The oat bowls are served with understeeped instant oats (ugh!) that are guaranteed to cause stomach discomfort — for that price you can cook real oats for 5 minutes. The coconut bread was very bitter. The vegan nutella was so-so, full of oil that kept separating. A smoothie bowl was just ok at best. Even worse, the prices are atrocious even for this expensive neighborhood. Just go to Happy Tree or Nuts Valley nearby to get many of the products with better quality and at much lower prices. I might still return if I’m craving something specific, even though I know I’ll be disappointed.
