Cheo Leo Cafe — cloth-filter coffee since 1938, Hem 109 Nguyen Thien Thuat
Plastic stools,watch the blue alley
Saigon's oldest surviving cloth-filter coffee shop — turquoise accordion gates, the blue sign, and a steaming cup of stove-kept coffee.
A morning at Cheo Leo
Busiest at 9 in the morning — elders sipping coffee over the papers, young visitors taking photos, tour groups stopping to watch the vợt brew.
Blue plastic chairs
Low tables spilling into the alley, motorbikes parked on both sides — pure Saigon alley café.
A table full of cups
Bạc xỉu đá with two straws, cà phê sữa đá, iced tea and a fresh coconut.
The blue sign
The clay-pot sign hanging mid-shop — the mark of three generations.
Visit
Turn into Hem 109 off Nguyen Thien Thuat, walk about 30m — the blue shop on the left, hard to miss.
