The Hummingbird Cafe & Roastery:\u00a0 vintage specialty cafe in a Saigon alley<\/h2>\n
\n

Specialty cafes are not rare in Saigon, but few of them can provide both top-notch drinks and a getaway space from all the urban hustles.<\/p>\n

At The Hummingbird Cafe & Roastery, apart from flavorful coffee made by experienced roasters and baristas, you can also get some fresh air in an old Indochinese-styled house hidden in a serene Saigon alley.<\/p>\n

\n

It has a relaxing outdoor space<\/h3>\n

In Saigon, many appreciate serene spaces such as The Hummingbird Cafe & Roastery. Though situated in District 1, it is in a deep alley which allows you to get away from noises and bustling traffic.<\/p>\n

In fact, in the cafe’s yard, you can enjoy yourself while sitting on a long bench along a soil path. The atmosphere is refreshing thanks to many shadowy plants across the yard and the eye-pleasing white tone of the building.<\/p>\n

Part of the yard is also covered with transparent panels to maximise natural light, making the place much airier.<\/p>\n

\n

It was built in an old house<\/h3>\n

The V\u00f5 Th\u1ecb S\u00e1u branch of The Hummingbird Cafe & Roastery is a renovated small house dating from the 1950s. Preferring lesser-known old buildings, the owners of this cafe didn’t focus on completely reconstructing the building but instead maintained the existing design.

That’s why at this cafe, you can feel a strong vintage vibe not just from the look of the building but also from smaller details such as symmetrical pattern tiles, flowery window frames, faded walls, and wooden chairs.<\/p>\n

\n

It offers multiple signature drinks<\/h3>\n

Using these original ingredients, the baristas here offer 8 signature drinks. For something strong and dense to boost your concentration, an Afterglow, or cold milk with ristretto without ice, will be a nice choice. If you’d like a more original treat, try the Douhua or maple ginger panna cotta ice latte, among many other interesting options.<\/p>\n
