Brew with a View: Vietnam’s Vertical Café Village!

the Café Apartment Building—also known as 42 Nguyễn Huệ - Vietnam

Nestled in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City on the bustling Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street, the Café Apartment Building—also known as 42 Nguyễn Huệ—is a vibrant, multi-story structure that has become a beloved landmark for both locals and tourists.

Once a residential complex, this unique building has been transformed into a vertical hub of creativity, where each apartment unit now houses a quirky café, boutique, or co-working space. Its weathered façade is adorned with colorful signage and balcony lights, while Vietnamese flags flutter proudly from nearly every floor. From vintage-style coffee shops like The Letter to trendy hangouts such as 1971’s Café and Meraki, the building offers a charming blend of old and new, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking great coffee, city views, and a truly Instagram-worthy experience.
