Cộng Cà Phê — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Had great coffees in a very nice, laid-back cafe decorated with Vietnamese retro, vintage feels. Coffee + people/ traffic watching = simple bliss. This particular outlet overlooks Ho Con Rua garden, where a lot of locals hang around as well. Located on the second floor, this outlet is air conditioned, with a mix of window seats (limited) and normal tables.

Once upstairs, you'll find a rustic, but comfy decor, with a nice view of the Turtle Lake (Ho Con Rua) roundabout, which is really just a huge man-made concrete lilly pond, but still attractive in an unusual cold-war sort of way. There was a turtle sculpture atop the tall concrete pedestal at the center of the lake in yesteryears, but sadly it's...
