Call the café

Morning rush

Go early for the takeaway rush and the freshest plastic-chair rows facing the street.

Afternoon lull

Escape the midday Ben Thanh heat with an iced kumquat tea and the cool air-con inside.

Salted coffee first

Order the iced salted coffee first — lightly salty, creamy, bold on coffee. It's what the reviews keep talking about.

Neon night

When the red neon lights up on the iron gate, the corner turns into a film — you're in the front row.

The sidewalk diaries — face the street, salted coffee in hand.
