Specialty cafés within a 10-minute walk of Đồng Khởi

The Sheraton Saigon sits at 88 Đồng Khởi, in the heart of District 1 — and some of the city’s best coffee is a short walk from the lobby. This guide rounds up specialty cafés within easy reach of the hotel, from a roaster hidden up a heritage staircase to a bean-to-bar chocolate house. Every spot is walkable from Đồng Khởi, so you can work through the list on foot in an afternoon. Each one is a real working café where locals drink, not a tourist stop — pick the closest for a quick cup, or follow the whole route for a proper coffee crawl through central Saigon.
