Tiệm Cà Phê Tân Thời — a green corrugated-iron storefront at 386/5 Lê Văn Sỹ, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City

The storefront is the brand

Rippled green iron, retro cream block letters, pink bougainvillea spilling over the roof — a tiny storefront that stops passers-by. Inside is a Saigon of the 70s–80s kept intact: paper newspapers, a glass cabinet of old things, peeling walls, an upright piano — and since the 09/2025 renovation, air conditioning and WiFi too.

PEELING WALLS + PIANOA broken doorway exposing brick, an upright piano, a red curtain — time visible on every surface.

THE CHILDHOOD TẠP-HÓA CORNERCandy jars labelled “TÂN THỜI”, hanging snack packs, a newspaper rack — a pocket-size Saigon.
