Café & breakfast · District 1 · 90 Đề Thám
Chez Mimosa needs no long telling: past the glass doors with their coffee-cup decal is a morning — daylight flooding through the glass front, dark-green armchairs around thick dark wood tables, amber pendant lanterns, and on the table a banana crepe with chocolate drizzle beside a latte-art cappuccino.
The café sits at 90 Đề Thám, Cầu Ông Lãnh, District 1, in a single rectangular room. The narrow frontage wears a cream awning with the large black script “Chez Mimosa” and “CAFE & BREAKFAST”; the glass double doors carry white decals of a steaming coffee cup over “COFFEE BREAKFAST”. Outside, on the patterned dark stone tile, sit small wooden tables with metal-frame chairs and brown molded seats.
Light is what sets the room apart: by day, daylight floods through the floor-to-ceiling glass front, looking out to street trees and the shops across the street; warm amber Edison-style pendant lanterns glow over the thick dark-stained wooden tables. A slatted wood ceiling with black track spotlights, raw grey concrete and plaster walls, an orange pinwheel-style wall fan, small framed artworks and leafy potted plants — a relaxed, cheerful morning room, good for families and friends.
The recorded menu centres on the morning: banana crepe with chocolate drizzle, omelet, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, baguette — plus orange juice, Vietnamese iced coffee, latte-art cappuccino and tea. All of it is recorded by composition, not as the restaurant's official menu names, and unpriced — ask at the restaurant. The café serves breakfast and lunch only, and the day ends at 15:30.

One rectangular room: raw grey concrete walls, a slatted wood ceiling with black track spotlights, a glass front full of daylight; dark-green upholstered armchairs with black metal frames, green benches, bar tables by the windows, woven tote bags on hooks toward the back.
The recorded menu lists 9 composition-described items, all unpriced — ask at the restaurant when you arrive rather than guessing a price. The first dish to try is the banana crepe with chocolate drizzle. Breakfast and lunch only — the day ends at 15:30.
