However, beyond the beverage, coffee places are also excellent places for work, especially for freelancers or those looking to set a business meeting outside the office. Excellent Wi-Fi, no loud music, a relaxing ambience and of course, great coffee with local and foreign brews will help towards a conducive working environment.
Kamakura
At a quiet corner of Dakao ward in District 1, Kamakura is a Japanese coffee and dessert shop where you can get really good matcha-based ice cream, cakes and lattes and, of course, coffee.
Although the cafe is small and a little narrow, it features a very relaxed ambience thanks to its decor and is a very good place for the creative professional to get inspiration thanks to its cosy atmosphere. Origami models of koi fish, black pine walls and a glass wall with plenty of natural light give the place a rather homely feel.

The items on the menu are affordably priced and delicious. You can sit on a couch if it’s available, or at a table and there are sockets available should you need to plug in your laptop or charge your phone.

Thinker & Dreamer
On the 4th floor of the iconic 42 Nguyen Hue building, Thinker & Dreamer could come across as a hipster joint with a neat Instagram page with plenty of followers. However, the establishment was set up as an artistic space for customers to think, relax and daydream.
Another go-to spot for the creative professional, the decor oozes inspiration and although a tad small, the layout is well-planned to create pockets of space that allow your mind to wander. The staff are also really warm, approachable and friendly.

Cafe
A quaint and classical-themed cafe, Cafe is at Dakao ward in District 1 and feels more like a home than an actual establishment. It was actually a home before it was refurbished into what it is today.

With two levels available, the bottom floor features long, flat tables with upright chairs while you get a more lounge-like experience upstairs with comfortable seats and a chilled-out atmosphere.
This is where you get a slow-drip coffee and get a seat and then let your creative juices flow. If you’re feeling hungry, there’s a limited food menu but there is a banh mi stall just a short walk away that offers a pretty neat banh mi bay ho every afternoon.

Hoang Thi Cafe
This entry might be a little debatable for some. Unlike the other establishments, it doesn’t have air-conditioning and its open-door concept means you get quite a bit of noise from the road. However, this is an ideal spot if you’re a writer, musician or artist.

Perfect for those who have just moved to Saigon and are working or looking for opportunities in Saigon’s burgeoning arts scene, this cafe was opened by an artist and is frequented by artists. Featuring a very local clientele, on a typical day you would see someone writing tunes with an acoustic guitar, and another person engrossed in writing an article on her laptop. It’s colourful, inspiring and addictive so you might keep coming back.

The woody interior and vintage decorations give the whole place a very artistic yet cosy vibe, but the biggest selling point would be that this is a decent place to work, but a great place to find a collaborator or maybe even a creative partner.
