âș Your Late-Night Camping Hideout in Saigon â Lá»u Coffee & Tea â
The name says it all â Lá»u means "tent" in Vietnamese, and this charming cafĂ© chain leans all the way into that identity. Think cosy camping-inspired interiors, warm low lighting, open-air seating, and a laid-back vibe that makes you feel like you've escaped the city even when you're right in the middle of it. First opened in early 2023 at 94 Nguyá»
n Thá» Tháșp, District 7, Lá»u quickly won over students, night owls, and local regulars â and has since expanded across Saigon with branches in PhĂș Nhuáșn (131 Tráș§n Huy Liá»u), TĂąn BĂŹnh, BĂŹnh TháșĄnh, Quáșn 6, and more.
đ° Drinks from 33,000Ä Â· Toppings from 10,000Ä Â· Open 07:00 â 00:00
The menu is refreshingly broad and on-trend. Their CĂ PhĂȘ Muá»i (salted coffee) is the clear star â a perfectly balanced blend of bitter espresso and a delicate salted cream that's neither too salty nor too sweet. It's one of those drinks you have to try to understand the hype. The Oolong Milk Tea is a standout too â full-bodied tea flavour with a silky fresh milk layer and just the right sweetness. Beyond these signatures, the menu spans matcha, cacao muá»i, fruit teas, and classic Vietnamese iced coffees with wide topping options.
đ Night Owl Friendly: With hours running until midnight (and some branches open 24/7), Lá»u is one of Saigon's best spots for late-night study sessions, catch-ups, or chilling solo. The TikTok community has dubbed it a go-to "night owl cafĂ©" in District 7.
Beautifully designed paper cups, genuinely friendly staff, and a no-rush atmosphere make Lá»u more than just a drink stop. The price point is hard to beat â drinks from 33,000â69,000Ä means a great session without guilt.

đŹ My Take: I walked into Lá»u expecting just another trendy cafĂ©, but left feeling like I'd found one of Saigon's best-kept budget gems. The salted coffee genuinely surprised me â I wasn't convinced by the concept until I took a sip, and then I understood immediately why it's the signature. The camping aesthetic is fun without being gimmicky, the staff were warm and unhurried, and the whole experience felt like the best value possible. I stayed way longer than I meant to. If you're in District 7 and want something unpretentious, affordable, and just genuinely good â Lá»u is it. đïžâ
