스토리

이 장소에 대해

Lạc Cafe는 District 2 Đa Kao 지구의 카페 밀집 거리인 Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm에서 이어지는 주택가 골목 끝 작은 상점 공간을 차지하고 있다. 아담한 가든 공간과 에어컨이 갖춰진 실내를 합쳐 약 10~15명을 수용할 수 있으며, 은은한 방향 조명과 목재 인테리어 덕분에 바깥 큰길의 분주함과는 확연히 다른 여유로운 분위기가 흐른다.

바리스타 한 명이 모든 운영을 도맡고 있어 이 공간만의 독특한 개성이 생겨난다. 원두 선별에 진지하게 임하는 곳으로, 최근에는 대만 로스터에서 들여온 에티오피아 품종을 125,000 VND에 푸어오버로 선보이기도 했다. 단골손님들은 이를 진심으로 인상적이라 평한다. 깔끔하고 섬세하며, 긴 하루를 시작하기에 더없이 좋은 한 잔이라고. 전체 메뉴는 에스프레소 음료, 콜드브루, 플레이버 커피, 말차, 그리고 소수의 논커피 음료를 아우른다. 특히 말차 코코는 코코넛이 전면에 드러나면서도 실제 말차의 쌉싸름함이 균형을 잡아주는 음료로 리뷰에서 꾸준히 언급된다. 당도를 높인 말차 음료들이 자주 놓치는 그 균형을 정확히 짚어낸 것이 특징이다. 식사류로는 치즈케이크가 주력이며, 음료와의 궁합이 좋다는 평이다.

방문객은 주로 Thao Dien 대로를 장악한 대형 카페 레스토랑보다 작고 조용한 공간을 일부러 찾아오는 단골과 탐방객들로 이루어진다. 입구 근처에서 손님을 반기는 상주견이 있는데, 리뷰에서 커피만큼이나 자주 등장하는 존재다. 바리스타는 궁금해하는 손님과 현재 원두에 대한 이야기를 기꺼이 나눠주며, 전반적인 분위기도 그런 성격을 그대로 담고 있다. 진지하게 임하되 서두르지 않는다.

규모와 골목이라는 입지를 감안하면, 이 카페의 커피 수준은 도시의 내로라하는 스페셜티 매장과 충분히 견줄 만하다. 작은 발자국과 컵 안에 담긴 것에 대한 높은 집중력, 이 두 가지의 조합이 117개 리뷰에서 4.8점이라는 평점을 유지하게 하는 원동력이다.

Despite the slight messy look of the interior, the coffee and pastry were neat. The way the barista doing things solo and dedicatedly explains the top-nocht quality and artistry of this place. 9.5/10

Amazing matcha Coco drink. Tastes sweet like coconut but bitter with matcha, perfect balance!

I really loved my experience in this cafe. The cafe is tucked away in a small little alley, which gives it a cozy, hidden gem feel and makes it a nice escape from the busy streets outside. It’s the kind of place you stumble upon and immediately want to stay for a while. They have a great variety of drinks, including cold brew, espresso, flavored coffee, matcha, non-coffee options, and even a few pastries. The vibe is very relaxed, with a warm and chill ambiance. The soft spot lighting and wooden interiors make the space feel extra welcoming and calm. They also play relaxing, chill music, and I was pleasantly surprised that most of the songs were in English, which added to the laid-back atmosphere. They also have the cutest Pomeranian dog who’s just as friendly as the staff. I ordered an iced coffee with condensed milk and fresh milk, and as someone with a sweet tooth, it was perfect. I also tried their tropical tea, which was refreshing and nicely balanced, perfect for the warm weather. I was pleasantly surprised that the oat milk substitute was free too, which was a thoughtful touch. One of the best things about this café is the value for money. The coffee was excellent, and the price was only around 50k VND. Great drinks, lovely space, and warm service make it a must-visit spot for coffee lovers in Ho Chi Minh City.
