Board game club English language school

😠 One 500ml bottled water costed me 25,000VND, and the service was not good enough since I was charged so much. Moreover, you must buy something at the coffee shop if you want to join the conversation. I don’t like rip off places and won’t go there again. People often mention English, people, nice, board, friendly, good, games, meet,

    Really fun spot, great energy in the place and smiles all around. Everyone really gives a good effort at English and all just hanging out and getting to know each other. Also great board game night on Saturday evenings!!

    I had great time playing board games with many guys from diffrent countries. As far as I know, They have this kind of event 2 days/ week (Wed & Sun) This is a good place for you to practice speaking English. The coffee shop has 3 floors. You can order your drink at the first floor and then go to the 2nd and 3rd floor for playing board games. Drinks are affordable. I got coconut coffee which was not really good but I guess people come here not for the drinks :> Staff are friendly, they explain the rules for newbies and they will host a game if you kindly ask.

    If you are new in Saigon and looking for a place where you can meet local or you are a student and wanna practise your English. I highly recommend you Coffee Talk English, this is one of the best places in town, where you can ask for advice to travel through Vietnam, meet local and exchange culture with people from all over around the world. They also have Vietnamese classes for every Vietnamese lover!! People speak GREAT English here, guys DONT MISS OUT!

    I mainly go there to play board games. To be honest I didn't have high expectation at first, but everyone was very nice and always tried to speak English most of the time so we all had a blast together. Highly recommended.

    Great place to interact with locals! We worked here as teachers for two hours per day in exchange for a place to sleep and met a lot of nice people and had good conversations! Some students even took us to their favourite restaurant which was a great experience. Thank you for the nice time!

👍👍 Really nice place to hang out! Lot of game choices and drinks are amazing! (I advise you the Jasmin milk tea 🧋👌) Also, if you need help to chose a game or to explain how to play, they will be there for you! We ended up staying there the whole afternoon!

😐 It is nice, but you can't join any event until you order a drink and also they asked me to carry the board games and my drink to the rooftop so I found it slightly overpriced. But they have a good variety of games
