This Ho Chi Minh City coffee shop champions a ‘sip and sleep concept’
Love drinking coffee in bed? This cafe in Ho Chi Minh City captures that experience by swapping tables and chairs for private pods and bunk beds. Chidori’s ‘sip and sleep’ concept might sound gimmicky (or even contradictory) at first, but it’s borrowed from Japan by the cafe’s founder Sa Saito, as a spin on workplace ‘nap boxes’ used by over-tired and overworked Japanese workers. Saito tapped… → Read More
