Highlands Cafe

There is no better coffee for me in Saigon than the Ca Phe Sua Da @ Highlands Cafe. There is no other more comfortable cafe in town than the one at Pasteur and Nguyen Du. Yes, I know, it's (still) the Starbucks of Ho Chi Minh City ( yet the real one will hit the town soon), but it's comfortable, it's air conditioned, it's perfect for grading papers (:D), they serve the most gorgeous iced coffee with condensed milk ever, tasty soups and sandwiches, amazing fresh juices, they have free wi-fi... What else?! Just can't wait to go there again soon.

Highlands Cafe @ Pasteur and Nguyen Du

However, I can't say the same about their location at Pham Ngu Lao and De Tham St. - not so clean, sometimes crowded, a classic of the meeting points in town for realtors and people looking for housing, not very quiet. But all the others are still there.

Coconut juice & fabulous ca phe sua da

Seafood soup - a bit too mushy for my taste, but good.
