GIAO Coffee & Wine

Tucked away in a small alley near Tan Dinh Church, Giao embodies in its name the hope of becoming a place for cultural connection. The café/restaurant captures attention not only with its aged tile floor and multicolored glass windows, but also with its drinks and dishes, featuring playful names and innovative twists on Vietnamese street food. The menu is reasonably priced considering its prime location in Central District 1. Friendly and down-to-earth service makes guests feel right at home, while the space is thoughtfully divided into multiple areas, suitable for both couples and groups of friends.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem tucked away in an alley, and I think I’ve found my new favorite spot! Great drinks, delicious food, and really good coffee — but what truly makes this place special is the staff. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. Came here by chance, but I’ll definitely be coming back. Safe to say, this place has earned a spot as my favorite "homes" in Saigon.

Beautiful café with such friendly staff! ☕️ My cold brew and cappuccino were both delicious. Highly recommend this place! ✨

- food & bevarages : we ordered a grilled pork bánh mì, grilled pork noodles bún thịt nướng and for the drinks - some tea. the bún thịt nướng stands out the most for its harmonious taste, the grilled pork is on point, fish sauce is amazing, lots of veggies and the pickled carrot and radish beautifully balances out the savory fried food like chả giò, everything else is also really worth trying!! 9,5/10 - atmosphere : the space feels like stepping into a quiet cafe tucked away in 1990s hong kong,warm, nostalgic, and effortlessly cinematic. dim amber lighting washes over exposed brick walls, vintage frames, and curated vinyl records, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels frozen in time. its the kind of place that makes you slow down to sip your drink, listen to old jazz, and lose track of time. 1000/10 - service : everyone was so attentive, and the owner even helped us take photos around the cafe 🥹 1000/10

We stumbled upon this cafe while wandering through the alleys of Dinh Công Tráng, and it turned out to be a fantastic find. We ordered the Bạc Xỉu and Phin coffee, both of which were rich, strong, and full of flavour with great coffee notes. The atmosphere was cosy, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back to try their wine and cocktails in the evening. A hidden gem that is well worth a visit!
