Previously, the old villa at 3/5 Hoang Sa Street housed a French restaurant. Upon taking over, the owner of Beanthere Cafe retained the architectural beauty of the building. The cafe only modified a few elements to give it an Indochine (Indochina) style. The main entrance, windows, and roof are arched, adding a touch of softness to the structure. The doors are also fitted with transparent glass, so the cafe's space is always filled with natural light and greenery.

ANCIENT FRENCH ARCHITECTURE MIXED WITH INDOCHINESE STYLE
Located at the end of an alley with two entrances both behind a house, the restaurant's location creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting guests to explore what lies inside. The villa begins with a spacious banquet hall on the ground floor, which, after renovation, retains its original structure and has been furnished with additional tables and chairs for guests. This space is also frequently rented for film premieres and parties.

"Beanthere" is a play on words for "Been there" (have been here before).
"Beanthere" is a play on words, pronounced similarly to the phrase "been there." It also reflects the desire to provide people with a relaxing and comfortable space, like being in a familiar place, like being at home.
A PEACEFUL PLACE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS
Beanthere's menu impresses with its diverse range of food and drinks. Most drinks are low in sugar, using natural sweeteners that are good for health. The vibrant colors and decorations in the drinks also come from fresh, natural ingredients. Rice milk with tofu and watermelon lychee tea are two of Beanthere's most popular choices among customers.

Beanthere is also a popular lunch spot for many office workers, as it offers a wide variety of food options. The restaurant's menu is fusion, combining European and Asian cuisine. Seafood rice, salmon rice, and stir-fried beef rice are frequently chosen by customers.
Each restaurant and eatery aims for a unique culinary style to leave a lasting impression on customers. But perhaps what truly keeps customers coming back is the service provided by the staff. Beanthere Cafe is a prime example. The staff are attentive and caring throughout the customer's stay, creating a feeling of being "served" from the moment they order until they leave.
