Softly - Coffee & Brunch is a cozy café tucked away on a quiet street in Thảo Điền, offering a calm retreat from the usual urban bustle of Thủ Đức. The space feels intimate and unpretentious, somewhat like a welcoming home that has opened its doors to neighbors and visitors alike. Seating options include a few chairs along the sidewalk and more shaded spots under the café’s roof, making it a flexible setting for both a quick coffee break or a relaxed brunch.

This spot caters well to those who appreciate thoughtful, well-prepared coffee and simple but satisfying brunch offerings. The café’s signature smoothie bowl and dishes like egg and avocado toast come with balanced seasoning and crisp freshness, providing good value — often around the 99k mark. Their coffee menu includes a range of approachable choices, with particular mention for a tiramisu coffee that stands out in the area. Matcha lattes also feature as a pleasant option for those looking for something a little different.

Softly finds its rhythm mostly in the morning hours when locals and expats stop by to enjoy breakfast or brunch in a peaceful corner of Thảo Điền. The quiet street, paired with attentive and approachable staff (noteworthy for their English proficiency), creates a relaxed environment where visitors can enjoy coffee at their own pace or catch up on reading and light conversation. It’s a spot that suits solo visitors, small groups, and anyone looking for a calm start to the day.

Overall, the café fits well within Thảo Điền’s laid-back café culture, emphasizing comfort, quality coffee, and straightforward brunch plates without fuss. If you are in the neighborhood on a weekday morning or weekend brunch hour, Softly provides a quiet pause with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Came here on a whim wanting to try some other brunch options in the area, and was not disappointed whatsoever. The egg toast and avocado toast were lovely and perfectly salted. 99k for this is honestly a steal. The matcha lattes were also decent. Recommend people come try out this spot.

Small cafe in a little alley in Thao Dien. Very kind and lovely. Coffee and food were good. I will visit there again in the morning.

Great little coffee shop. It feels very much as a private house that opened its doors for customers to serve them some great coffee. Super cosy. There are a few chairs in front and a few more under the roof. But also open towards the street. Very quiet area. Great for people watching and to chill.

Another cozy cafe discovery in Thao Dien with very good coffee. One must try coffee is the Tiramisu Coffee. Probably one of the best in Thao Dien area. The staffs here are friendly and speak good English, something that I really appreciate for a foreigner living in Ho Chi Minh City. Cafe is cozy and one can really enjoy the peace and quiet in the neighborhood.

Very cute open-air coffee shop with good quality coffee. The prices are very good for the quality, too. We paid 39k for an Americano and 45 for a latte. Very nice staff, too. We’ll definitely be back!

This café is super cute, spread over two floors, with a nice air-conditioned space upstairs. They also serve food, including smoothie bowls and tartines. The tartines aren’t very elaborate, but they’re super affordable, which makes this a great spot for a casual break

Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for slow mornings in the fast paced city. Very delicious and healthy meals. Stuff is so friendly and welcoming, treated us so nicely with care! Enjoyed our brunch so much! The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful. Like an escape from reality
