Late night coffee near The Salty Coffee in Ho Chi Minh City 2026

The Salty Coffee · #coffee

I'm visiting in March and staying a few streets from The Salty Coffee, and I'm trying to work out how late it's actually reasonable to sit in a cafe around there without feeling like I'm overstaying.… I'm visiting in March and staying a few streets from The Salty Coffee, and I'm trying to work out how late it's actually reasonable to sit in a cafe around there without feeling like I'm overstaying. Which nearby streets are comfortable to walk back along at 10 or 11pm, and are there blocks I should avoid on foot at that hour?

id stick to the main roads like dong khoi and ly tu trong that late, the little hem alleys get proper dark & quiet, and honestly sitting till 10 or 11 is normal there

Agree on the hem, though Dong Khoi gets oddly deserted after 10 once the shops shut, Ly Tu Trong stays livelier longer. Pasteur is a decent middle option, wide pavement and still some traffic. Anything toward the river end of Ton Duc Thang feels exposed at that hour.

Fair enough, but the little side streets off Hai Ba Trung stay lit and busy enough to walk through closer to 11.

Got the same impression when I was there, though it was more that the shops pull their shutters down than the street going properly dark. The stretch closer to the market side had a bit more life to it, so it wasn't a total dead zone.
