1+1 Space

The space is small but thoughtfully designed, with moody lighting, vintage furniture, and artful decor that gives it a gallery-like feel. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail in the evening or enjoying a slow coffee during the day, the atmosphere is calm, cozy, and deeply personal. The drink menu is surprisingly refined for such a tucked-away spot. I tried their signature cold brew and a gin-based cocktail—both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and aromatic, while the cocktail was balanced and beautifully presented. Prices are reasonable (₫1–100,000), and the quality rivals more well-known venues in the city.
