My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

I came to Thinker&Dreamer in a rainy afternoon. Nguyen Hue<br />
Street was watery, some people silently walked away with<br />
their umbrella in hand. The bustling Saigon seemed to be<br />
quieter in rain.<br />

Situated on the 4 th floor of an apartment building, nestled between 2<br />
English tearooms, Thinker&Dreamer Coffee is small and as pretty as the<br />
story that I shared with Quang Dai, the owner, that day.<br />
