Currently the old premises of the restaurant are closed and locked.

In fact, according to Thanh Nien , the last Mellower coffee shop at Dong Khoi, in front of Notre Dame Cathedral (Metropolitan building) has now closed its doors and ceased operations. Many regular customers of this coffee chain could not hide their regret when they heard the news that this place had officially closed.
Below the shop’s announcement, Huu Tai commented: “Goodbye to the cafe with the best view and the cutest staff in Saigon”. “What a pity for the shop’s closure! Your milk coffee is delicious, and I also appreciate both indoor and outdoor seating because they are ideal for working, chatting, and covering the center of Saigon. Hope you will come back one day!”, Mr. Trieu Huy Ha expressed.
Saigon La Poste - Café Lounge, once a familiar place for many people, is now still locked.
The shop has not been open for a long time so it is dusty and has many dry leaves.
Having been a regular customer of this coffee chain since March 2019, when Mellower opened its first store in the Deutsches Haus building on Le Duan Street (District 1), Ms. Nhu To (26 years old, living in Go Vap District) said she likes the space here, in addition to the taste of the drinks and the good attitude of the staff.
“After that, the shop opened in front of Notre Dame Cathedral and it was really an ideal place for me and my friends to come to on the weekend, because the view was so great besides the quality of the drinks. The day before, when I heard that the shop was closing permanently, I was a bit disappointed and sad, because the shop also had many memories with me. I deliberately went past the shop after the announcement of the closure, it was true. I hope to have a chance to meet the staff and everyone again," the girl said.
The McDonald's store next to the Ho Chi Minh City Central Post Office has been vacant for a long time but no restaurant has taken its place yet.
