The Annam House

The interior is warm and inviting—wooden furniture, old photographs, and antique accents create a timeless atmosphere. Whether you’re seated by the window or tucked into a corner with a book, the café offers a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz. The drink menu is reasonably priced (₫1–100,000) and includes Vietnamese coffee, teas, juices, and a few Western-style espresso drinks. I tried their egg coffee and a passion fruit tea—both were well-prepared. The egg coffee was rich and creamy, with a smooth sweetness, while the tea was light and refreshing. They also offer light snacks and desserts, though the focus is more on ambiance than culinary innovation. With a 3.9-star rating from over 120 reviews, The Annam House is appreciated for its quiet charm and central location, though some visitors note that service can be a bit slow during peak hours. Still, it remains a lovely spot for those who enjoy a slower pace and a touch of old-world elegance.
