Absolutely the coolest little camera stop. It’s run out of the tinniest space but full of excitement! Independently operated and the gentleman working there was super helpful and very knowledgeable on each and every single camera. He speaks a little bit of English as well and showed me everything I needed to know to operate the Yashica 35 gsn I purchased. He repairs them all himself. Reasonable prices and easy to find. Will definitely be back in my future trips to Saigon!

Great vintage camera repair and sales shop plus a chill cafe. Friends, I rarely pay more than 35000VND for any drink in Saigon. Yet the tea master here makes the best Tra Olong Macchiato you will most likely ever have. Real cream and high quality tea. Don't let the prices put you off. Worth every cent, complete with vintage air conditioner.

This place is like out of a dream! Nice cafe, great theme, used film camera shop which sells film upstairs. They even serve cocktails after 7pm. I wish I had a shop like this near me back home - I’d be there every day. Service was exceptional! I bought a film camera and the light meter went out - they replaced the camera without difficulty. When you buy a camera it’s cleaned, inspected and serviced. Mine got new light seals while I waited. Bulk rolled film and film development with scanning is available and turn around is possible in less than a day with overnight the norm. Cafe staff spoke little English but were patient and willing to use google translate. Up in the camera shop English was a little more fluent and credit cards are accepted with a very small fee. I can’t wait till I get a chance to go back.
