The FIG café Phu Nhuan

With its pungent smell of citronella mingling with strange chill-out music and statues of Buddha looming in the shade of ancient trees, The Fig Café located on Nguyen Thi Huynh Street in HCMC’s Phu Nhuan District provides a feeling of leisure and meditation for people who drink coffee there.

The owners of the coffee shop are quite popular in the field of design. Dzungyoko and his brother aim to create The Fig Café as a contemporary Asian space combining the traditional and the modern with the image of Buddha in a new space. With The Fig Café, the inventors hope to excite and inspire the senses.
The open air of this café is quiet with fresh green lotus pots and a small pond where a small statue of Buddha sits in mediation. Sitting here, guests find peace for the soul while contemplating the sunlight and the clouds flowing in the sky.
Inside the café you will find modern style sofas arranged between the gray walls. Solemn Buddha statues and strings of beads made of jasmine decorate the shelves. The smells and the music are what you might expect sitting in a spa or meditation room.
The Fig Café offers healthy cinnamon, anise, lemon and ginger teas which are created uniquely in Asian style with natural materials. There are various foods to choose from as well.
