Bobby Brewers Coffee (Le Van Sy) – Big Disappointment

Submitted by on Friday, August 29, 2008 – 3:09 pm2 Comments |

Well, I am back at Java Cafe in District 1.  I actually started out at the new 3-month old Bobby Brewers on Le Van Sy street near my house in the Phu Nhuan District.  I decided to try it out after passing by it so many times.

I should have just passed by as normal.  It was a big disappointment for me.

The staff was nice and ordering was easy.  Much of the same service you would expect from Bobby Brewers.  Unfortunately the pancakes that I ordered were a bit too thick and dry.   The scrambled eggs were fine but overall, I was a bit disappointed with this breakfast (Only the Black Cat in District 1 seems to be able to make some good breakfasts anymore).

The other problem with Bobby Brewers in this location is that the wifi was not working.  Actually, for me it was a big problem since I needed to get some work done.  The staff came and reset the modem about three times but it was not broadcasting.  Finally, instead of trying to get it to work, they left.

Still, it was a pleasant place to sit and relax.  I would not mind chatting there with friends.  If they are able to get the wifi to work, I can actually use this location as a temporary office as well.

Today, though, it was not the place for me to get my work done.  Instead, as I mentioned above, I headed to my favorite ‘office’ at Java Cafe icon smile Bobby Brewers Coffee (Le Van Sy)   Big Disappointment

Edit: This Bobby Brewer’s location service has improved signifantly since this post.  I have visited it twice and am quite impressed with the service now.  It is a decent location to do some work, food is better, and wifi faster.
