Tasty comfort food (and a couple of hidden kitties!) - Edit
Had the vegan full breakfast—they accidentally brought out the vegetarian at first, but I noticed because the eggs looked too real. No problem switching to tofu scramble and non-buttered toast. It was really tasty, and as a bonus, I got to sit next to a couple of sleepy kitties hidden amongst the books on lower shelves.

5* - Edit
I’d happily give this place 5 stars if possible.
Read moreGranted, the menu is not the healthiest Vegan food you’ll ever see. It is however, delicious and there are copious amounts of options, both for vegans and veggies. The Vegan Full English Breakfast included some of the nicest mock meats I’ve ever had.
Well worth visiting if you’re in the area.
Also lots of books to buy/trade and board games to play.
Pros: Loads of options., Great tasting food. , Vegan Full English!
Cons: Not the healthiest.

Goda burgare och trevligt ställe att hänga på - Edit
Vi provade två olika sorters burgare, en stark med chili i och en gjord på linser, båda vegetariska (hade kunnat blivit veganska om vi valt bort osten). Vi var båda väldigt nöjda med smaken och konsistensen.
Read moreDet finns ett stort utbud med vegetariska/veganska rätter som tydligt är markerade i menyn.
Efter maten stannade vi kvar och spelade lite sällskapsspel som finns att låna utan avgift.

5 stars! - Edit
If the app let me rate this place 5 stars I would. Food is amazing, vegan menu is 4 pages, and the owner is so lovely! This place has everything! Western food, English food and local food. Highly recommend it! I have this far had their vegan full English breakfast, their spicy bean burger and the lentil burger. All were delicious and prices are also great.
Read morePros: amazing vegan menu, food is awesome, about 10 Coca Cola flavours

Good...but - Edit
Meals were cheap and good. Average level. First place I checked out though :)
Read moreService was low, I spoke basic Vietnamese and that didn't change things. Would potentially check out again depending on what's on offer in Saigon.
Pros: lots of vegan options, books, wifi
Cons: service is average

huge vegan menu and little service - Edit
We went there for it's huge vegan menu. Maybe it was because we were there early in the morning but service and friendliness left room for improvement. Vegan englisch breakfast was good.
Read moreFilthyVegan.
Thanks for saying the vegan full English breakfast was good. Sorry about the service "being" unfriendly. Early in the morning my wife takes our daughter to a kindergarten and so only the ladies who cook are here and they don't speak much English. Maybe that's why you felt negative vibes. Please come again after 9am when my wife is here or after 3pm when I'm here. Just look at all the positive reviews about the service. As you have stated the vegan food was good. Please don't miss out on our other vegan food like lentil burgers, vegan apple crumble, vegan fish "n" chips, vegan cheese pizzas, local food vegan style, etc, all because the service wasn't what you expected. Please see the true warmth of the place.

best food in town and great atmosphere - Edit
Extensive menu for vegans & veggies both Western and Vietnamese food. Second hand books to swap or buy around the wall and board games to play make it the best place in town for one (or more) relaxing evenings out. They do other food options as well.
Read morePros: Wide variety of vegan options

Excellent friendly cafe - Edit
Went to this place two days in a row as there are many many delicious options for vegans and non-vegetarians, a rare find indeed as my partner is hardcore vegan and I am not. The owner is an absolute gent, the place is full of books, British charm and is a quiet nook on a busy rowdy street.
Read moreWe would definitely return when in Ho Chi Minh for the wide variety and good banter
Pros: Vegan and non-vegetarian menu, "Black Books" vibes, Relaxed and refreshing
Cons: That I cant give them 5-stars on this website

Great little book cafe - Edit
Run by an expat and his local wife. Walls are lined with secondhand books for sale, or just perusing while you wait for your food. Large menu, with separate and equally large vegan menu. Local dishes (such as savoury pancakes) were fantastic. Western food makes up much of the menu, but unfortunately the vegan burger wasn't the best I have tasted (soy patty, small, not much flavour). Would be interested in returning to try their full vegan all day English breakfast. Otherwise I'll probably stick to the local food. Also sell cheap wine by the glass.
Read morePros: Huge menu , Local food tasted great, Lots of books to choose from

Great experience - Edit
Very glad to have discovered that little restaurant/café. Just the service alone deserves 5 stars! The owner is so friendly and helpful. I also liked very much the food I ordered and my boyfriend (omni) was very pleased too. Amazing menu for omnis as well as vegetarians/vegans with great choices probably very difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere in the city (like the british "breakfast" you can enjoy any time of the day)
Read moreAnd even though i haven't yet ordered but I will in my next visit. Coffee. Finally not a place where people will be dazzled when asking for soya milk (which they don't have in any regular coffee place apparently) I mean fruit juices and teas only can get you so far ;)
Pros: A very extensive vegan menu, Great service, Books

Amazing Vegan Food!!! - Edit
Such a cute cafe, with a separate and extensive vegan menu. I had the Vegan brekkie crepes with banana and maple- delicious! My sisters ordered the veg sausage and veg bacon on toast and both enjoyed. The Vegan dinner menu has so so many options, hoping to go back for dinner! Staff were really lovely as well.

Delicious Vegan Food - Edit
My partner (omni) and I went here today and really enjoyed it. There's a whole separate vegan menu with lots of Vietnamese and classic British dishes to chose from. I had the tofu and vegetable pho and my partner had a full English breakfast. There are loads of books and board games to use which creates a nice cozy atmosphere. All in all, for a book loving vegan like myself, I'd say it was perfect. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

Full vegan menu - Edit
Large menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options such as full vegan english breakfast, vegan sunday roast, traditional Vietnamese dishes, burgers and baguettes. Mock meets and tofu. Good place if you want a change up from Asian food. Plant based milk available however my coffee wasn't very hot. I do recommend. Many second hand books, free wifi and bathroom facilities. Friendly staff and library like atmosphere.
Read moreCons: coffee not hot

Definitely a 5 star experience! - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu including English breakfast, sausages, rice pancakes, claypot dishes, burgers, fish n chips, and typical Vietnamese food and a lot more.
Read moreI ordered mushroom and tofu claypot and vegan spring rolls and they were one of the best I've had in Vietnam.
Owner was a super friendly vegetarian :)
We payed for 2 beers, claypot with rice, spring rolls and noodles with veggies and tofu 215 000 dong.

huge vegan menu - Edit
They have 2 menu's, one which is purely vegan and features some classic British dishes that have been veganised, such as a full English and a Sunday roast!
Read moreIt also has a large Vietnamese vegan menu, and of course a menu for meat eaters aswell, with lots of vegetarian options within the main menu also.
Not particularly cheap but certainly not outrageous, the most expensive vegan option I saw was the roast at 160,000 dong, but that included a drink of your choice off of the main menu.
Pros: huge choice for vegans, reasonably priced
Cons: looked slightly run down, could do with a clean
