The very first impression when coming to Cam Oi is the extremely spacious open space, located right next to the Hau River bank, so it always catches natural cool breezes. Sitting here, just order a drink, watch the shimmering river surface, listen to soothing melodies, and breathe in the fresh air, and all stress seems to melt away.

A cute highlight of the cafe is the small pond right in the middle of the premises with two adorable ducks swimming freely and strolling around every corner of the shop. This small detail makes the space lively, close, and brings a much more relaxing feeling. The cafe is arranged in a quite special way facing towards the stage, creating a feeling like sitting in an outdoor performance space which is very interesting: on both sides are two rows of backrest chairs like stadium seats, while the area in the middle and close to the stage is arranged with grouped tables, embracing the small pond in the center. The stage side is right next to the river bank, so just sitting down, you can both watch the water and feel the distinct openness and "chill" of the shop. Every corner of the shop is meticulously cared for, very suitable for both chatting and saving beautiful photos, blending into the melodious music, creating a feeling of relaxation.

Because the shop is designed in an open style and doesn't have too much shade, I think the ideal time to visit is in the early morning or late afternoon. Especially when the sunset falls, the scenery by the Hau River becomes extremely romantic with the yellow-pink sunlight of late afternoon covering the water. This is definitely one of the very suitable places for dating, meeting friends, or simply sitting and watching the sunset after a long day.

Regarding the menu, the drinks here have quite good quality, affordable prices ranging from 28,000 VND to 48,000 VND, suitable for many types of customers. In addition to familiar drinks, the shop also serves pizza - a choice quite rarely seen in riverside coffee shops. Besides, there is also a pastry counter with many attractive types of cakes for you to enjoy while sipping coffee. A small note when coming to the shop: customers will go to the counter to order and pay first, then find a suitable seat for themselves; as for the drinks, they will be brought directly to the table by the staff, which is quite convenient and fast.

A small detail but I really like is that complimentary iced tea flasks are prepared in many corners of the shop for customers to serve themselves. This subtlety helps customers feel cared for and more comfortable during their time at the shop.

Another plus point that makes Cam Oi distinct is that the shop regularly organizes piano, saxophone, and acoustic performance nights completely free of charge in the evening. The riverside space combined with gentle music creates a very relaxing experience.
