The Vagabond

PÂTISSERIE & CAFÉ

Step straight into the main room: high ceilings, the cobalt velvet banquette running beneath tall black-framed windows over greenery, worn dark wood tables, cross-back chairs with blue seats and cane-back chairs, a dark wood bookshelf, and the glass cabinet of colourful petit gâteaux. Quiet, laptop-friendly, never crowded in the photos.

Starting inside

No storefront — the room is the entrance

No storefront photo exists in evidence, so this page starts inside the room: the large dark communal table mid-room with cane-back chairs, the blue banquette, the warm multi-arm chandelier, the dark bookshelf stocked with books, and the wide back doorway to an area with a black metal-railed staircase — suggesting an upper level.

9 Trần Cao Vân, Sài Gòn ward, District 1

The signature

The cobalt velvet banquette

The room's signature colour moment: deep cobalt channel-tufted velvet with grey-blue cushions, running beneath tall multi-pane windows over green foliage — against pale grey-white panelled walls, cream-and-blue encaustic tiles with a Greek-key border, dark navy curtains and black window frames.

The specialty

The petit gâteaux cabinet and the épi line

The glass cabinet displays rows of jewel-like petit gâteaux — red domes, green-yellow domes with leaf garnish — beside the named épi line: young corn, ube yam, pandan leaf. Alongside: croissants, canelé, biscotti, latte, matcha tart, the pink shell-shaped dessert and cherry-topped cake slices.
