The Cafe Apartment

Great little coffee shop located on the 9th floor. You can take the lift for a small fee, but I would recommend taking the stairs to see the various shops and restaurants on your way up. The view of the street is pretty good if you choose to sit outside. The food is very nice - we ordered two bánh mì including one with pork and one with eggs. The orange juice was SO good!! We also tried the egg coffee for the first time, which was very tasty!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) The Cafe Apartment is a hidden gem in Ho Chi Minh City! This unique multi-story building is filled with a variety of cafes, offering an eclectic and cozy atmosphere perfect for coffee lovers. I had a great time exploring the different cafes, each with its own distinct vibe. The coffee was fantastic—rich and flavorful, and the selection of snacks and desserts was also excellent. The staff at each cafe were friendly and helpful, adding to the enjoyable experience. The building itself is a lovely spot to relax, people-watch, and enjoy a coffee break. It’s a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for a diverse and enjoyable cafe experience!

Going there, if your walking on its side, its hard to notice the entrance at first because its like an alleyway/parking for motors and bikes but if you will walk from the other side or the walkway, you will see it immediately. You need to pay for the elevator ride if you know what floor is your desired cafe. But for me I wanted to explore the building so I chose to take the stairs. Lots of cafes and restaurant choices inside. Every cafe was very “IG worthy”, maybe their way also to attract more customers. I’m not sure but I think I also saw a nail spa on one of the floors. Generally, it was a cool experience to see it in person and try one of the cafe inside the building.

The Cafe Apartments are a must-visit in Ho Chi Minh City, and OOPS! was the perfect spot to soak in the magic of the moment. I visited around 4 p.m. when the café was empty, creating an intimate, peaceful atmosphere. The staff was kind, and I ordered two drinks—one lychee-based and one strawberry-based, both with boba. They were brilliant! Sitting on the balcony, I watched as the city pulsed with life below—people moving, the giant screen flashing promotions, and the golden hues of sunset casting a warm glow over the modern skyscrapers ahead. There was something undeniably romantic about it all. The soft café lights, the anticipation of the city lights flickering on after sunset—it felt like a quiet pause in the middle of a bustling world. If you’re looking for a serene and subtly romantic escape before the evening rush, OOPS! at The Cafe Apartment is a perfect choice.

Such a cool concept and history! Totally worth checking out. They charge for use of elevator, but steps are free. Be sure to go all the way up to 9th floor. Creative businesses on each level.

The Cafe apartment is a nice area with 9 floors with various coffee shops, restaurants and boutique shops. You need to pay 3000 dong to use the elevator so I suggest to go to the top floor and use the stairs going down so you can explore the whole building. Some of the restaurants repeat though so there are still limited options.

Big house with 9 floors. Not so easy to find the entrance, you have to fight with a lot of motorbikes, parking at the entrance. Weird, you have to pay for the old, small elevator, but not really much. My advice, go up to the 9th floor and walk down, floor by floor. You can discover a lot of different cafes and small shops. I liked to sit outside at the 9th floor, got a really good blueberry cheesecake and a strawberry smoothie at its best. Nice place to go with your sweetheart, friends, or alone. I will come back

If you’re visiting Saigon for the first time, perhaps it’s worth the visit just for the experience of it and to take a picture of the building’s facade. However, it’s a not a place I would personally go back to. There are a lot of trinket shops and cafes in the building and we go to try Meraki Cafe for brunch. Nothing special in terms of food and egg coffee, but has a nice little deck if you want to enjoy your food and drinks looking at cityscapes. I would highly recommend Little Hanoi Egg Coffee over this. but might be good for first timers in Saigon to have a feel of the place.
