THAIYEN CAFE - CAFFEYEN - Nguyễn Đình Chiểu

The small but professional looking shopfront, hides a great real coffee enthusiast's dream shop inside, with every kind of coffee taste catered for. The shop area, looks very clean and welcoming, with an extensive menu from a quick coffee on the run, to more time consuming and elaborate coffee experience. The homemade cake and pastries also displayed, only encouraged the opportunity to spend more time to enjoy the kind coffee break, you most certainly deserve. There was interestingly displayed on a large video screen, a video showing exactly how the cakes were homemade. The coffee preparation area is quite extensive, and the staff were clearly knowledgeable and enjoying their work. This kind of shop is well appreciated by true coffee lovers, with local and overseas coffees available, exactly how you wish them to be served, or with coffee beans to take home, to do your own thing. My only regret is that i was only visiting the area for a short time, but look forward to including a special coffee moment, upon my return. Highly Recommended.

Despite its popularity, the space feels disappointingly small and uncomfortably noisy. It lacks the openness and atmosphere one would hope for in a coffee spot — no view, no fresh air, and little sense of relaxation. The restroom facilities are also quite limited for the number of guests. Overall, it is difficult to find much appeal in staying for coffee here.

I’ve been a regular customer at Thai Yen for 5 years and they have really nice coffee in Saigon, cozy space and very unique tastes of coffee. I usually have Solar Latte and my boyfriend prefers Sapa. Their selections of pastries, cheesecakes and tiramisu are amazing too. I always recommend my friends to go here at least once!

The cheese cake was very good. The pastries were fine. Coffee can be improved on. I suspect the barista b/c they obviously have good grains and a good machine (La Marzocco), so it's got to be Zébédé. I'll try again soon.

I love this place! The atmosphere here is nice and cozy and the quality of drinks is so good. I ordered a latte and a tiramisu which was a perfect combination and the staffs are also very friendly and nice. I am glad this cafe is close to my place. A perfect place for people who are looking for a good place to read a book or work on laptops👍
