Great list. Already used this to find the Tiger Ted and a few others.

A couple other ones I’ve run across in the past 2 days.

Juice shop – right across from 9th st cafe
Salad Concept – salad / juice place that serves coffee & I’ve seen a lot of people working there.
Local Cafe – just across the street from the mall. Big, open space. Is so nice it feels like it could be a chain, but doesn’t feel like on.

And don’t forget Tiger Ted’s, the complex of old shipping containers stacked up… Favourite for hip cyclists.. Jammed in between the Maya and the night market… Obligatory free wifi, great eats and a anally retentive barista… He fusses over every cup..
And can park the bike out the front in full view of the seating.
Arroy mak !

Thanks Vera! I was just in Bangkok and I went to Ceresia – great little cafe (even without wifi). I’m back in HCMC now 🙂

I can not stop reading your blog!

We just started our worldtrip based on good coffee and are currently in Bangkok (and have been to chiang mai, of course!). What you wrote about both cities is so near to my impressions and feelings. So we will go back to chiang mai after visiting vietnam.
The next stop ist Ho Chi Minh city and I am exhausted to visit a lot of your recommanded cafes!

My recommandations for a nice coffee (but without wifi):

In reply to Kevin Grunert.

Hi Kevin, thanks for that. I haven’t been back for 2 years so these lists need regular updating. I have a comprehensive working cafes page at http://www.nomadicnotes.com/cafes/. When you have made your post let me know and I will add your link there too.
