THINKER&DREAMER was established
with a simple idea of a 24-year-old man.
"I'm a coffee lover. Without a cup of coffee
each morning, I feel like I have no energy
to start my day. However, almost all cafes
in Saigon are busy and full of people. My
friends always complain about that, wishing
there was a tranquil space without noise to
relax with coffee, watch people on streets,
chat with friends, and read the news before
going to work. This is also the reason I
opened my cafä."
Up the old staircases, the cafä's interior is
far different from other parts of the building.
White walls, simple tables, paintings, and
ornaments showcase the owner's style of
sophistication and modernity.
In the building which is considered the
most check-in place on Nguyen Hue Street,
among thousands of colorfully designed
cafäs and shops with attractive names,
Thinker&Dreamer becomes a great place
thanks to its simplicity.
Saigon gets slower and more romantic in
the rainy season and more people come to
Thinker&Dreamer. At the corner is a male
thinker passionately reading a magazine,
some girls are catching the falling rain
drops on the balcony, chatting with friends
or dreaming of sweet stories in the rain.
Tranquility just spreads out and seeps in
the space.
What more could we ask for? Taste a piece
of cake prepared by the dedicated baker,
sip a cup of fragrant coffee, release all stress
in music, then just think and dream...
