HÔM

HÔM is a cafe and bakery on Trần Ngọc Diện in Thảo Điền, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City. The property sits near the end of the street, close to the Saigon River bank. The venue features an open garden patio with leafy shade trees. Customers find low wooden chairs and outdoor stone tables across the courtyard. Inside, the cafe provides two floors of seating with minimalist timber furnishings and paper lanterns.

The cafe partners with in-house pastry concept Don’t U Donut to produce Japanese-style nama donuts. Bakers incorporate fresh pumpkin into the dough to create a soft, pillowy texture. Signature flavors include Earl Grey mango, Kuro truffle honey, pistachio cream, and salted egg custard. Staff pipe each donut with fresh whipped cream. The kitchen also fries plain donut rings with light sugar coatings.

Beverage menus highlight ceremonial-grade matcha, specialty espresso, and creative cold brew concoctions. Drinks include iced matcha lattes, sea salt cream coffee, and passion fruit cold brew soda. The counter brews single-origin beans and mixes seasonal fruit purees into iced teas. A specialty creation combines mango puree, matcha latte, and coconut ice cream. The bar dispenses nitro cold brew on tap.

The interior decor pairs warm wood tones with potted bonsai trees and vintage audio speakers. A corner near the window houses a turntable with a rotating collection of vinyl records. The upstairs area offers low seating where guests remove their shoes at the landing. Food creator Vũ Dino co-founded the concept in Thảo Điền. The shop opens seven days a week for morning coffee and afternoon tea.
