I really recommend the coffee and bakery. But one thing that I give 4 stars is the AC area is quite small.

The Story
About This Place
On a residential side street off Thao Dien's main drag, Lost & Sought operates at a pace entirely its own. The menu is short and deliberate: espresso-based drinks pulled with obvious care, a rotating case of house-baked goods, and a few standout originals like the Aerocano and Coco Matcha that have quietly built a loyal following. The cinnamon rolls arrive soft and coiled, not the dense, over-iced kind found at chain bakeries — closer to something a skilled home baker might produce on a Sunday. The Shio Pan, a Japanese-style salt bread, disappears fast enough that timing matters. On the coffee side, both the flat white and the decaf options draw repeat visitors who notice the difference between thoughtfully sourced beans and commodity blends. Oat milk is handled well here, which is not always the case.
The terrace catches a breeze most mornings, and the background music stays low enough to hold a conversation or open a laptop. Owners Ben and Sara are frequently present, which accounts for the consistency regulars describe — a rare thing in a neighborhood where cafes turn over quickly and quality drifts once the opening buzz fades. The 5.0 rating across 268 Google reviews is an unusual signal in a city where most well-regarded spots settle somewhere in the mid-fours. Lost & Sought draws a mix of expats who've made it a daily ritual, tourists who stumbled onto it via search, and locals willing to cross districts for a reliable flat white. It is closed Tuesdays. Arrive before 10 AM on weekends if the cinnamon rolls are the reason for the trip.

Lost and Sought is my new favorite cafe in HCMC. The coffee is perfect and it’s amazing what peace a little shade and wind and a camper chair can bring. The atmosphere is serene thanks to its somewhat hidden location, making it the perfect reading spot. So far I’ve tried the sourdough, shio pan, cinnamon roll and sausage roll…. And they are all amazing! The only reason I should not visit this place too often is that the bread is irresistible and it will get me fat 🐽😂 Oh and the owner is friendly and nice in a not-overwhelming way.. again, making the place perfect for the introvert-reader type visitors.
I’m actually addicted to Lost and Sought. I’m staying at the hotel next door, and since day one of arriving in Ho Chi Minh, I’ve been coming here constantly. The coffee is consistently good — strong, smooth, just done right. And the baked goods? Homemade and dangerous. I keep telling myself I’ll skip it, and then I’m back again. I love sitting out on the terrace with a coffee, breeze coming through, music playing in the background. It’s such a nice little reset from the chaos of the city. The team is genuinely friendly and warm, which makes the whole place feel even better. If you’re nearby, go. Just know you might end up going every day.

Food: I ordered Cranberry Cheesecake and it was amazing, not too sweet and very soft inside. I had matcha latte for drink. Service was great, they gave suggestions, best sellers and answered our questions in English. Atmosphere: It is very chill, not to noisy and relaxing, accompanied by soft music on the background. I would love to come back.
