Every Half is a delightful cafe tucked away in a narrow alley off Võ Thị Sáu Street in Ho Chi Minh City. The space is a lush garden oasis, filled with potted plants, hanging vines, and rustic wooden furniture. The cafe's name reflects its philosophy of taking time to enjoy life's simple pleasures. The menu focuses on traditional Vietnamese coffee, including ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk) and ca phe trung (egg coffee), alongside modern espresso drinks. The beans are sourced from the Central Highlands and roasted to order. The garden setting provides a cool, shaded environment even on hot days, with gentle music and the sound of a small water feature. It's a popular spot for locals to chat or study, and for tourists to escape the city's hustle.

Don't miss

  • Sip a traditional ca phe sua da while surrounded by tropical greenery.
  • Find the hidden entrance – a narrow alleyway that opens into the garden.
  • Try the coconut coffee – a refreshing blend of espresso and coconut milk.
  • Browse the small selection of local artisan goods and coffee beans for sale.
  • Relax in a hammock chair tucked among the plants.
