Tucked away on a quiet street in District 1, TEASPOON is a charming little cafe that offers a welcome escape from the city's chaos. Stepping inside feels like entering a friend's living room - warm, inviting, and decorated with a touch of vintage charm.
I recently visited TEASPOON on a weekday afternoon seeking a quiet place to relax and read. While the cafe was bustling with activity, the noise level was low enough for me to concentrate. The staff were friendly and attentive, patiently answering my questions about the menu.
I opted for a cup of their Vietnamese iced coffee - strong, sweet, and refreshing, perfect for a hot afternoon. I also tried a slice of their red velvet cake, which was simply divine - moist, flavorful, and with the perfect amount of cream cheese frosting.

But anyway, after you spot this staircase you’re...
Read moreLove, love, love this place! I got a little overwhelmed exploring the city and needed a quiet place to reset myself. Enter "Teaspoon" and its peaceful environment and calming tea. During my stay in Ho Chi Minh City, I came by twice. The first time, I ordered the sticky honey chai tea with a red velvet cake. The second I ordered the creme brulee tea with the chocolate cake (I wanted the chocolate pistachio mini cake, but they were sold out). I enjoyed everything I ordered, but the sticky honey chai was my favorite. 😍 They play soft music and have comfy seating. I read my book, had my tea+cake, and before I knew it, two hours went by! Both times I went, I left before people who arrived before me. So, there is no pressure to drink/eat fast and go. This is truly a place to...
