An architect opens a café

The owner is an architect at Cát Mộc Group — and the café carries a designer’s hand in every corner.

Cát Mộc Group is headquartered at the very same address — a design, construction, and training company operating since 2004. The café therefore carries a designer’s hand in every corner: a warm wooden hall under a starry ceiling, a hand-drawn chalk wall, an arched wooden shelf with a vintage radio and the CMG plaque, baby’s-breath in glass bottles on every table.

The seal is the café’s identity — the character “Tượng” stacked like carved seal script, printed white on dark brown, from the façade signboard to the alley direction board. “Tích tụ tình thân” — gathering warmth — is the café’s motto: collecting closeness through music nights.

Why it’s the seal

• The “Tượng” seal like carved stone
  The café’s identity — the character “Tượng” stacked like carved seal script, white on dark brown, from the façade signboard to the alley board.
• Live music every night, no cover charge
  A different band every night from 20:00 to 22:00 — one drink is enough for the whole night.
• A wooden hall under a starry ceiling
  By day a warm wooden hall — low tables under a starry ceiling; by night candles are lit and the stage lights up.
• The Hoi An corner
  Low wooden tables, an old sewing machine, a ceramic cabinet — a miniature Hoi An inside the café.
• The arched shelf with a vintage radio
  A vintage radio, a vintage TV, and the Cát Mộc Group plaque — the architect’s hand.
• Baby’s-breath on every table
  Baby’s-breath in glass bottles — on every table in the café.
