THE CORNER
Kafa Café — the Pasteur-corner branch, and a Saigon street corner.
A two-frontage building, one street corner, and traffic that never stops.
The Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Kafa Café sits right on the Pasteur crossroads — two frontages, washed-stone walls, white KAFA letters visible from far. A bright billboard above, a sidewalk that is always busy below.
Inside: dark wood, KAFA-engraved wooden chairs, an open brew counter with hanging menu boards. The upper floor is airy, and the yellow-awning terrace looks straight onto the crossroads — the ideal afternoon seat for watching the street.
The menu is street coffee in the truest sense: boldly Vietnamese Den Ta, Nau Ta, Phe Siu, an espresso line for mornings that need waking up — and two signatures only this branch has: Me Tuyet and Hong Tra Cam Tac.
