Emotional Introduction

As someone who enjoys finding coffee shops that are perfect for both relaxation and work, I am always curious about new places in Biên Hòa. By chance, I heard friends mention CHẬM – coffee and more, a café located in a small alley, so I decided to check it out. That afternoon, sitting and sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying the quiet atmosphere, I realized that CHẬM is not just a simple café but also a place to temporarily escape the noise outside.

General Introduction to the Café

CHẬM – coffee and more is located at alley 188, 30 Tháng 4 street, neighborhood 3, Biên Hòa, Đồng Nai. The café has a moderate size, not too spacious but designed very tastefully with a gentle vintage style, creating a comfortable and cozy feeling.

Although it might be a bit hard to find for first-time visitors, the atmosphere here is very pleasant.

Detailed Experience at CHẬM

• **Space and Design**

The café features many large windows, taking advantage of natural light, so the space is quite bright and airy. I chose to sit indoors, where there are a few small, cute wooden tables and chairs, surrounded by some green potted plants and vintage wall art. The soft yellow light is just enough to create a relaxing atmosphere while still being bright enough to work or read without straining my eyes. The café also has an outdoor area, but it was a bit hot that day, so I didn’t try it.

• **Drinks and Food**

I ordered a glass of iced milk coffee and an egg sandwich. The coffee brewed here is very balanced, rich in flavor without being too strong, blended perfectly with moderately sweet milk, making it very enjoyable. The egg sandwich has a crispy crust, soft fresh fried egg, served with vegetables and the café’s signature sauce, overall quite delicious and to my taste. Additionally, the café offers a variety of fresh juices and pastries, suitable for those wanting to change things up.

• **Service and Staff Attitude**

The staff here are very friendly, enthusiastic, and quick. When I inquired about the drinks, I received thoughtful advice without any awkwardness. The café always maintains cleanliness, with tidy tables and chairs, and a cool atmosphere. I even remember forgetting my phone on the table while working, and when I returned, it was still there, showing that the café is quite safe and the staff are very careful with customers’ belongings. At one point, a staff member even brought me extra water without me having to ask, making me feel cared for and comfortable.

• **A Few Noteworthy Details**

I felt the attention to detail in the way the space is built and how customers are served. The café is not too crowded, which contributes to a very peaceful atmosphere. Soft music is played at just the right volume, not affecting concentration. This is truly an ideal place to work while relaxing.
