Bobby Brewers in Bui Vien Street is popular for its combination of coffee, movies and free wifi.

Standing modestly in the backpacker area of Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1, Bobby Brewers is a unique coffee shop for foreigners and locals alike.

The most interesting thing about Bobby Brewers is that you can watch movies, including the latest Hollywood blockbusters, while having a square meal and a drink. Visitors should check the film schedule and get a ticket early to make sure they get a seat.

Bobby Brewers’ owner Paul Phillips, who has been living in Vietnam for five years, said the coffee shop was the way he and his Vietnamese wife expressed their love for Vietnam.

Bobby Brewers raises money to help Agent Orange affected victims and street children through the “Forgotten Children of Vietnam” Fund. On “Charity Tuesday,” both Bobby Brewers’ staff and customers provide cooking, education, transportation and healthcare through a rehabilitation program for those “forgotten children.”

The high level of customer service is another reason this three–story coffee shop is a popular hangout for tourists and expatriates.

Small in size, with a friendly atmosphere and a humanitarian purpose, Bobby Brewers is really an ideal place for everyone, especially those who like to sip coffee, watch a move and help unfortunate kids, all at the same time.
