Nhã Nam Books N’ Coffee Saigon’s 200 square metres include two floors, which are then divided into smaller rooms, all of which are equipped with wall-sized bookshelves.
Each of these rooms has a distinctive name and is for specific uses. Entering the cafe, you will immediately see Don Quixote - the largest room in the middle of the cafe. This is an open space for chit-chat, group discussions, and sometimes even team-building activities. Self-help books are exhibited on the shelves in this room.
Behind Don Quixote is the Hobbit room. This is the exact opposite of Don Quixote, meaning that here, you should not make any noises and avoid chatting as much as possible. The Hobbit is the favourite place of many customers who want to fully concentrate on their books, studies, or work.
In front of the Don Quixote is the Children’s Corner. If you come here with kids, they can stay here to read children’s books or play together without annoying other customers.
Upstairs, you will enter the minimalist Green Grapes room, which will satisfy Chinese, Japanese, and Korean literature fans with numerous titles from these countries.
It sells discounted books and accessories
Nhã Nam Books N’ Coffee Saigon is not just a cafe, but a bookstore as well. Indeed, most books exhibited on the shelves are new ones from the Nhã Nam publishing company.
When buying Nhã Nam books at this cafe, you will enjoy a 20% discount on the total bill. Every so often, specific promotions will offer greater discounts of up to 50%. On special occasions, it also has special programmes such as blind book buying, in which all books are wrapped and you can only know what title each is after paying for them.
Apart from books, the cafe also provides many kinds of book-related accessories such as key chains, stationery, and fragrant essential oils. All come at reasonable prices.
Have a good drink with a cute doggo
In contrast, the strawberry latte featuring strawberry marmalade made by the cafe staff is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth.
Another thing that attracts customers to this cafe is a special staff member - a brown dog named Vừng (Sesame). As a friendly and excited doggo, he usually runs from room to room to play with customers. You shouldn’t worry about him causing noise, because he barely barks.
Of course, you can bring your pets to the cafe too, provided that they stay in the Don Quixote room.
Books, coffee, and pets are all here
Peaceful and dreamy, Nhã Nam Books N’ Coffee Saigon is a great place for anyone who wants to get away from real life and get immersed in the world of books. Maybe this week, you can bring your pets to this cafe and have some delicious drinks while enjoying your favourite books.
