Beanthere Cafe - Hồ Hảo Hớn

☕️ What You Should Know Before Going 📍 Space & Atmosphere • The café looks great on pictures with greenery, wood accents, and rustic design, and many reviews praise aesthetic corners and garden space that lend to photo ops.  • But in reality it feels smaller and tighter than expected, especially inside, and can feel choked or crowded when busy. Your experience of the space not being as open as in photos matches what some visitors also note.  • Beanthere can be praised as a calm, green nook in the city — but this depends a lot on when you go (daytime vs evening, peak hours vs quiet moments).  ☕️ Drinks & Menu • Many guests say drink quality is decent, with coffee, tea, smoothies, and some brunch-style food available — although food offerings are limited and some items may run out early.  • A few reviewers complain that drinks and menu items they wanted were not available or that portions and creativity don’t fully match the décor investment.  • Prices are moderate to slightly high for Saigon, especially if you’re comparing to simpler, local cafés.  👩‍💼 Service & Workflow • Many visitors note that staff can be friendly and attentive — helpful with recommendations and accommodating espresso styles — while others mention slower or inconsistent service at busy times.  • Service involving ordering directly at the counter can feel less smooth for diners who expected table service. ⚠️ Other Points Commonly Mentioned • The café is very popular and can get busy, especially weekends and evenings — leading to long waits or items running out early.  • Despite being a “green oasis” on paper, some reviews on local platforms rate the experience only average on service and food, giving scores around ~6-7/10 overall.  ⸻ 👍 Pros • Aesthetic, green interior that looks good for photos and casual hangouts • Great location tucked in a quiet alley near central Saigon • Drinks are generally good, and space is laptop-friendly with outlets (according to several reviewers)  👎 Cons • Smaller and less airy than photos suggest • Many menu items run out early, especially evenings • Mixed service quality and wait times • Drinks and food not always worth the price for some visitors • Can feel busy or cramped if crowded ⸻ 🧠 Summary Beanthere can be a nice stop if you’re looking for a pretty café with a garden vibe and good coffee/tea; it’s often Instagram-worthy and central. But be prepared: the space is not as open as advertised, service and food availability vary, and prices are moderate without always matching expectations. If you’re going specifically for a relaxing sit-down or a full meal, it might not live up to the pretty photos — but if you’re there for coffee, ambience, and photos, it’s still worth a shot at quieter times.

Amazing place in terms of interior and atmosphere. The building is beautiful both inside and outside. The garden is well kept. Has a plenty of photo locations/ideas. Drinks are good.

Absolutely delicious! Very atmospheric, spacious and relaxed cafe. The staff were lovely and the garden space is beautiful. Nothing but good things to say :)

Would rate them very highly for ambience interior decor and vibes. For obvious reasons they do charge a few for professional photoshoot / sessions. Food wise, alot of the items we wanted weren't on the menu and we were looking more for your typical brunch kinda items but they had more Vietnamese fusion cuisine. Place is pretty easy to find.

We stayed in the hotel opposite for a week and visited bean there every day. Everything we ordered we were extremely happy with. The coffee (especially salt coffee), I’ve teas, smoothies and juices were all amazing and there are so many options. We also ate here a few times. The Banh mi was delicious, I also had rice with stir fried beef and veggies which was lovely (large portion). Our favorite food was the seafood spring rolls and crispy prawns - amazing. And same goes to the staff, they were very welcoming, remembered us each visit and gave us a very comfortable experience. It is also probably the cleanest place we have eaten in the city.

The drink and cake were good. There is a nice vibe with a big area and green garden outside. The decor is beautiful. The price is alright, around 70k. But the toilet was terrible...

Everything is excellent ! The food is delicious and the prices are incredible. The interior and decorations 👌🏻
