Unique coffee shop in Ho Chi Minh City 'causes a fever' during Tet: Customers sit under gourd trellis, rice fields...

At the end of the year, a coffee shop in Phu Nhuan District is becoming a hot spot for taking Tet photos for many people in Ho Chi Minh City because of its unique space. Customers leisurely sit and drink coffee under the squash trellis, sit next to the green rice fields, marigold gardens... and have many "virtual living" angles for Tet photos.

On a weekend afternoon, Ni Coffee Shop on Nguyen Dinh Chinh Street (Phu Nhuan District) is crowded with customers. Entering the shop, the space inside is like a memory station that takes me back to the old South, where there is a three-room tiled-roof wooden house, a wood stove, a trellis of squash and pumpkins laden with fruit, lush rice fields, lush green Malabar spinach beds or a garden of bright yellow marigolds...

Guests sit under the cool green squash trellis enjoying a cup of morning coffee at Ni.

The restaurant impresses with its Southern countryside atmosphere with lush rice fields and green vegetable beds. The restaurant staff wear traditional Vietnamese clothes and warmly welcome customers.

The cafe space is cool after the rain on the last day of the year. Mr. Duc Tuyen said that he and his 3 friends opened this cafe in November. To have the current space of the cafe, he and the founders spent 6 months preparing. During that time, Mr. Duc Tuyen had many trips to the West to find old items and objects to arrange miniature scenes that recall old memories, creating a unique style for the cafe.

Accordingly, every Thursday night, the cafe organizes art programs such as amateur singing, bingo shows and plans to organize more call-and-response, bai choi... for customers to experience.

At the end of the year, the restaurant is filled with traditional Tet atmosphere with apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, marigolds, red parallel sentences, lucky money envelopes... attracting customers to take photos.

Ms. Hoai Thu (27 years old, living in Binh Thanh District) and her group of university friends decided to wear Ao Dai to take Tet photos when they accidentally learned about the shop through social networks. "At first, I wondered what was there that people were sharing so much about on the internet. When I got there, I was really surprised that the shop had many beautiful angles for taking Tet photos. The shop has a cool space outside and a warm space inside that made me feel like I was entering an old Western house with objects from decades ago. I have many satisfactory photos," she said.

Many people are excited to take photos in the Western style at this unique coffee shop.

The space inside the restaurant is a three-room wooden house with a tiled roof that evokes many old memories.

The owner has painstakingly collected decorative items and photos in the shop, making many customers excited.

Check-in corners during Tet are loved by many customers when coming to the restaurant.
