  It was very easy to make a reservation, which I really appreciate! Bigger space & table, perfect for big groups of friends! Food is decent, drinks too! Wifi, toilet, lots of options on the menu. Great for tourists :)

  As a canadian I come back to this restaurant each year I’m in Saigon (4th time) because of the Australian/British breakfast. They do have Vietnamese options as well. However when I’m jet lagged the first days in Asia I tend to need food I’m used to for my stomach. This place is AMAZING! Each and every time. I’ve eaten breakfast here approx 15-20 times. Firstly, the people working here are the absolute best! They’re so friendly and wonderful I wish I could go even more, I looked forward to seeing them each day and talking with them. If you’re worried at all about English, don’t be, the speak English as well as I do. I’d like to say a personal thank you for making my mornings start so great and my trip to Saigon so memorable to: Nghia, Steve, My and Vete. There are other people I didn’t get your names but you are not forgotten! Nghia is the artist making the beautiful coffee art photos I’ve posted. So talented! The coffees are so delicious some of the best I’ve had in Vietnam which says a lot. The food is great for the cost, it’s a bit pricier but that’s because it’s a western/Australia cuisine. Don’t hesitate. I had a make your own breakfast, eggs Benedict, yogurt bowl, breakfast bagel, freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious cappuccinos! We ordered 2-3 coffees, 2 meals, fresh juice and 2 bottled waters costing approx $30 CAD. Definitely come here!

  I’m impressed. The World Cup + time adjust from USA has me sleep challenged! Arrived at 6:30pm and had delicious pancakes, hash browns, and salted coffee. Staff assured me Kitchen staff would excel with breaky in PM. GOOOOAAAAAAL 🤌🔥👊🏼✌️💪💙

  Good to come here, to be reminded of back home while on holidays ♥️good to change it up from the local food lately. The food was good, the pancakes were nice and not dry, and the sausage muffin, was tasty

  Had such an amazing time here! Very good selection of both food and drinks! Would really recommend the chicken Caesar sourdough, I’m still thinking about it 2 days later!

  Quite crowded. Reservations are recommended, but I'm not sure if they accept them or not. All the food and drinks I ordered were good.

  This is cafe with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The Vietnamese coffee was rich, smooth, and full of flavour, and the brunch menu had plenty of fresh, tasty options. Perfect spot for a relaxed morning or casual catch-up.

  Had this on 2nd September but only just got the chance to post now. They opened on Vietnamese Independence Day, so there was a 10% public holiday surcharge, which was totally fine and reasonable. Absolutely obsessed with their Flat white, the tulip was so cute I couldn’t help myself and took multiple pics with my green crochet heart 💚 Everything in the sandwich was super fresh, especially the toast! I had brunch outside and the vibe was exactly what I was looking for. First time here, but everything just clicked. I also loved the music, speaker kind of gave off an old-school radio sound. Shout out to the staff as well — they did an amazing job looking out for customers. I didn’t even have to call them over; they just knew when I was ready to order and pay. Would love to come back and try more!
