Em Co cafe is located in quiet areas in the heart of Saigon’s District 1 center, loved and known by many diners thanks to its feeling of a green oasis in contrast to the noisy city outside. Furthermore, the restaurant space is also arranged with many green trees and natural light, creating an airy feeling.
With rustic and comfortable tables and chairs, when you come here you can sit and work privately, go on dates, and sip a delicious cup of coffee while focusing on studying or working. The music in the shop is also quite gentle in a quiet atmosphere, helping you easily relax and recharge after a lot of chaos out there.

5 Experiences not to be missed at Em Co cafe
5.1 Check-in to the lovely space
Em Co cafe has a cozy, simple but natural space, not too colorful or stylish. On special occasions such as Tet and spring, the restaurant also changes its decoration style to satisfy visitors. In particular, the small and beautiful items in the shop also add decoration, helping the space always brighten with vitality.
If you are looking for a beautiful new cafe in Saigon to take photos, absolutely do not miss this place. However, a small point to note is that diners coming to Em Co cafe during peak hours or on weekends are quite crowded, so taking photos will sometimes be difficult.

5.2 Attractive workshop events at Em Co cafe
Most recently, Em Co cafe organized a workshop event on making custom keyrambits with UV resin in collaboration with @custom_keyrambitvn. After previous successful test sessions in September, the shop decided to officially organize an event to welcome guests every day. Here you will experience the feeling of personally customizing your own keyrambit, with the accompanying bracelet and charm. In particular, a small note for Saigon tourists is that if you join the workshop, you will also receive any free drink on Em Co cafe’s menu.

6 Do you have cafe 1 or do you have cafe 2: Which shop is more suitable?
6.1 Review I Have Coffee 1
Em Co cafe 1 is suitable for those who are looking for a “healing” atmosphere in a small and pretty apartment. Although there is no comfortable working space like branch 2, here you will enjoy the space, chat and watch the surrounding streets. In particular, the view of the “divine” Huyen Sy church is also highly appreciated by many people.

6.2 Review I Have Coffee 2
I have cafe 2 Nguyen Thai Binh which is an ideal stop for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere of autumn in Hanoi. The old yellow house nestled in a small alley in the central street is always cool thanks to the rows of shady green trees. Entering the restaurant, you will have a completely different feeling with soft music, fragrant scents and a green space with a skylight above. By the window, sip your favorite drinks and feel the time ticking by little by little.
In addition, Em Co cafe 2 also owns an “energy bookcase” with many books full of healthy and good energy. All the books were given to the shop owner by regular customers, and the bookshelf was also asked by the owner from his old company, all creating a “knowledge sphere” shared through many classes. If you like, you can choose a book and enjoy.

Treat yourself to a cup of coffee or your favorite drink in the “healing” space of Em Co cafe. Hopefully the useful information compiled by Vietnamtravelio will help you fully enjoy the wonderful moments here.
