Cà phê Linh

Cà phê Linh is a cafe on Trương Định, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, that serves Vietnamese coffee. The shop stands opposite the New World Saigon Hotel near the Bến Thành Market area. It occupies a two-story wooden structure at the corner of Trương Định and Phạm Hồng Thái. The building features weathered wooden siding and retro louvre shutters.

The drink menu centers on traditional Vietnamese drip brew methods. The counter staff prepares cà phê muối, blending iced black coffee with a layer of salted cream. The kitchen also brews classic cà phê phin, bạc xỉu with condensed milk, and iced coconut coffee. Fruit teas, fresh juices, and sweet yogurt drinks expand the beverage selection. The menu includes nostalgic Vietnamese dry snacks like bánh tai heo biscuits and dried salted plums.

Low wooden stools and small tables line the sidewalk along the front entrance. Customers sit outside on these wooden stools to drink cold coffee and watch street traffic. Lush potted plants and hanging paper flowers frame the outdoor facade. The interior contains vintage wooden furniture, antique radios, acoustic guitars, and old book collections. An upstairs wooden balcony offers open-air seating overlooking the surrounding street intersection.

The brand launched this central District 1 branch in late 2021. It draws local students, neighborhood office workers, and travelers throughout the day. The cafe operates from early morning until late at night. Prices remain in the accessible casual coffeehouse range.
