Coffee, suits, events

Coffee · Suits · Events · From 51/16 Cao Thắng

WAS Concept Cafe brings three things together at one alley address: specialty drinks to sip, easy food to eat, tailoring upstairs and community events to come back for.

The café sits in a quiet alley in Bàn Cờ, District 3 — a cream minimalist facade with large black “WAS CONCEPT” lettering, glass sliding doors, yellow flower pots out front. Inside, the ground floor is bright: white round tables, herringbone wood-look floor, floor-to-ceiling windows opening to the street, a wall of drink photos and plants.

The menu runs from phin and sea-salt coffee through matcha, fruit teas, cold brew and sodas — plus waffles, sandwiches, fried rice with egg, Indomie and the WAS fried platter. Regulars order the sea-salt cold brew, strawberry matcha, red peach tea, coconut milk coffee and mango Thai tea most.

Upstairs is the tailoring concept; downstairs are board games on the table and community events. The owner replies to reviews regularly — a small café that keeps regulars with quiet, clean space that works for getting things done.

The room

Bright, quiet, work-friendly

White round tables, tall windows, daylight — a comfortable work seat in the middle of District 3.

Tailoring

Suits upstairs

The tailoring concept lives upstairs at the same address — coffee downstairs, suits upstairs.

Community

Board games and events

Games on the table, community events — why regulars return, not just the coffee.

Drinks

Colour from the drinks themselves

Layered mango matcha, iced black coffee, blueberry drinks — the café's colour lives in the glass.
