Very cool and peaceful little cafe where everything is done with intention. One of the best banh mi I’ve had and hands down the best caphe trung.

Reviews
Memory Lane is exactly what you need when looking for a calm and cozy spot. The portions are very generous for the price, the banh mi was rich and full of flavour, and the fresh coconut was absolutely delicious. The WiFi is excellent, perfect for working. The staff is kind and welcoming. Thank you so much!
Vietnamese food with relaxing feeling by mixture of good coffee and great music. Thank you for giving us a dedicated service.
I can't rave about this place enough. There are so many delicious restaurants in HCMC, but this takes the crown for Vietnamese food. Its a casual place, with top quality food at very reasonable prices. The Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio is particularly good, and the Banh Mi's. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with comfy seats and aircon and the owners are lovely. We discovered this place just before TET and the restaurant closed today, sadly for us (Feb 14th, open again 22nd Feb) otherwise we would be going back every day
I’ve been reluctant to write a review on this place because it’s so good I just want to keep it to myself 😩 but this cafe is easily one of my favorites in the city. Their menu is extensive with a variety of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a light snack. Everything is always delicious - coffee and drinks included. The staff is really kind and accommodating and the space is perfect for a productive coworking day. It’s a certainly a cafe worth trying and one you won’t regret.
