Soo Kafe

soo kafe takes its coffee seriously, and you'll feel that within about thirty seconds of being there. the address puts you on phan chu trinh, right at the edge of bến thành, which is one of those parts of ho chi minh city that moves fast and loud at street level. the second floor cuts you off from most of that. it's the kind of place that draws people back on their own terms, not because it's convenient or because someone told them to go. the regulars who keep returning aren't casual about it. if you're spending a morning in district 1, this is a reasonable place to anchor it, starting with whatever's pulling espresso that day.
