THAIYEN CAFE - CAFE YEN - 80 Nguyễn Du, P. Sài Gòn

One of best cafe in Saigon Must try “Solar”, combine of double shot espresso, condensed milk and fresh cream.

I have been to THAIYEN CAFE – CAFE YEN at 80 Nguyen Du many times, and it has become one of my favorite coffee spots in Saigon. What I like most is the calm and relaxed atmosphere. The space is simple, airy, and comfortable, so it is a nice place to take a short break, meet a friend, or just sit with your laptop and a coffee. Even though it is located in a busy central area, the café still feels good to focus once you are inside. The coffee is consistently good, and I especially enjoy their Vietnamese-style coffee. The taste is rich, smooth, and well balanced. I have visited several times and the quality has always been reliable. The staff are also friendly, polite, and helpful without being overly attentive, which makes the experience very comfortable. Another reason I keep coming back is the overall vibe. It feels casual and local, but still thoughtful and well designed. It is not the kind of place that tries too hard to be trendy. Not sure if credit cards accepted or not. Definitely a café I would recommend if you are around Nguyen Du and looking for good coffee and a relaxing place to sit.

When I arrived today, the store was undergoing repairs, probably because the wood paneling on the wall was starting to peel off, which was quite dangerous. Therefore, before the repairs began, the store staff proactively came to apologize and helped me move to a different seat to avoid any inconvenience. The service quality was truly excellent.

Drinks and pastries are delicious. Staff is very professional. The only downside is the poor coffee shop decoration. Too bland to my taste. They should add some galleries on the wall to make it more cozy or create a more personal vibe. The egg coffee is delicious. Worth the try.

Walking into THAIYEN CAFE on Nguyen Du feels like stepping out of the frantic energy of District 1 and into a calm, intentional sanctuary. The space is minimalist and raw, yet there is a warmth to it that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. It doesn't try too hard to be "trendy"; instead, it focuses on a clean aesthetic that allows the aroma of fresh coffee to take center stage. The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the Sapa coffee. It is rare to find a drink that balances creamy sweetness with a bold caffeine kick so perfectly. Every sip felt like a small comfort, smooth and sophisticated without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of signature drink that lingers in your memory and makes you understand why this place has such a loyal following. While the coffee is exceptional, the atmosphere is what truly rounds out the experience. It is a fantastic spot for a deep conversation or a solo moment of reflection. The service is efficient and polite, fitting the professional yet relaxed vibe of the neighborhood. The only reason I wouldn't give it a perfect score is that it can get quite crowded during peak hours, making it a bit harder to find that peaceful corner you came for. At 4/5 stars, THAIYEN is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates quality over quantity. It captures a specific "Saigon soul"—modern, bustling, yet capable of providing a quiet moment of beauty in a cup of coffee. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my next afternoon break there.
