Cafés around Turtle Lake

Located in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City (District 3), Turtle Lake is a rendezvous for many city dwellers because here there are  many popular cafés like North Wind, CLICHE CAFÉ, Gloria Jean’s Coffees, Café Napoli and Cup Coffee. Furthermore, the atmosphere in this place seems to be cooler than others thanks to rows of ancient trees and a water fountain in the middle of the lake.

It is an exciting experience to enjoy cups of tasty coffee and fresh air and beautiful views overlooking the lake. Therefore, it is the favourite place of the locals for gatherings after a day of working hard.
