[2025 Ho Chi Minh City Restaurant] Travel Guide for The Workshop (Updated Mar)

They have a good variety of brewing methods and decent variety of beans. A lot of people working but a nice chill environment. I got the pour over coffee which was excellent. The food I would say is good but not exceptional. Seem to be a digital nomad favourite spot. The tea lattes here are really good too. Good place to concentrate and hustle. The staff here is super attentive and fills up your water cup all the time too #vietnamtrip #couplestrip #myitinerary #afternoonteatime

When I was making the travel guide, I heard that I must try this coffee shop. To be honest, the entrance of the shop I went to today is a bit small and even difficult to find. It also has no sign and is very low-key. At one point, I thought it was a Japanese coffee shop. I followed the navigation to the downstairs of the coffee shop, and walked back and forth for a long time but couldn’t find the entrance. The uncle next to me probably couldn’t stand it anymore, so he pointed upstairs in broken English and said "the workshop"! I guess I'm not the first guest to get lost. ✅About the store The store is hidden on the third floor of an old house. When you push open the door, what comes into view are huge windows, a barn-style high roof and industrial-style spotlights. Everything seems so simple yet indescribably comfortable. The bar is located in the center of the store and can be seen from every angle in the store. If you like to watch the street view, you can choose to sit by the window. It is really pleasant to watch the pedestrians passing by on the street. But I prefer to sit at the bar so I can watch the barista making coffee. ✅About coffee I heard that their coffee is grown on their own farm and they also roast it themselves. After ordering coffee, I sat down at the bar. In one corner of the bar, cold brew was being made with ice cubes, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee. Their coffee is more sour than regular Vietnamese coffee, but the stimulation from the fruit acid is not very strong. No wonder the waiter asked me if I wanted an espresso when I ordered. After all, an espresso only costs 10,000 Vietnamese dong. There are also hand-brewed, cold-brewed and other coffees prepared on site, which you can also try. ✅About taste I drank no less than 15 cups of coffee in Saigon in 5 days, but after drinking their coffee, I felt that the coffee from other places didn't taste good. Although their coffee is probably the most expensive, with a cup of Americano costing 20 yuan, and other coffees generally costing around 10 to 12 yuan, the flavor must be declared the best! ⚠️For Saigon’s coffee map, please refer to my other note! 📢Store name: The Workshop Cafe Address: 27 Ng6 Dic KE, Ben Nghe, Qusn 1, H6 Chf Minh, Vietnam (2nd Floor, Ho Chi Minh Cily 848, Vietnam) ⏰Business hours: 8:00-21:00

#vietnamtrip A quintessential trendy brunch cafe with a Vietnamese flair. Outstanding coffee, food, and service! Definitely recommend The space is bright and airy with city views, industrial overhead lights, and amazing art prints on the walls. It’s in a historic building, up some ancient stairs and the entrance is very dark - so it took us a second to find. The eggs Benedict was incredible, as was the salt coffee.

#vietnamtrip Definitely one of the best places for brunch in Ho Chi Minh City! The cafe itself is on the top floor of an old building and it’s absolutely beautiful, loft design of course. You can look at Saigon streets from above. The food is absolutely delicious! Their drinks are not to be missed either. We tried their coffee and fresh pressed juice - both are super tasty. I’d recommend coming before 10 am or after 1pm as it gets very busy in between. It’s a lovely place to sit and work for a few hours, or just chat with friends. Highly recommended!
