Hipster Joints - Ho Chi Minh

For a relaxing afternoon or just about any time you are feeling tired after a hectic day shopping, here are some hipster joints you can put up your feet and take a break.

So what is the definition of "hipster joints"?  Well firstly, they are hip, trendy and certainly out of the ordinary . Next they are well hidden or difficult to find. The journey there is as unforgettable as the destination itself. The food served in these joints are also prepared by chefs who are passionate about providing the best, the most delicious or possessing the ability to tease the most out of your taste palettes. Finally the decor. It certainly must be "Instagrammable" to say the least.

That out of the way, here are some interesting hipster joints awaiting you in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Workshop
Located on the second floor, the sign board on the street level is obscure but if you look up the ceiling, it is not difficult to find. Relax as you watch the waiters and waitresses prepare for you a long slow cup of coffee.  

Nu Bistro
