The coffee bean is very special. I ordered a black cafe and can really taste the quality. The yogurt is very good as well. Good price for the quality

The Story
About This Place
On a stretch of Nguyễn Văn Hưởng that most expats walk past without stopping, this small coffee shop practices one of Vietnam's oldest brewing methods: cà phê vợt, where grounds steep in a cloth sock filter to produce a dense, low-acid cup with a depth that drip machines can't replicate. The beans here are notably different — reviewers consistently single out the quality of the black cafe, which arrives clean and full-flavored without bitterness. The yogurt drink is another quiet draw, made well enough to earn its own mentions among regulars.
What sets the space apart from the wave of third-wave cafés filling Thao Dien is the ceramic gallery sharing the room. The combination attracts a specific kind of morning visitor — locals who want something grounding rather than Instagram-ready, and curious newcomers who've done enough exploring to notice that the neighborhood's best coffee isn't always behind a neon sign. The vibe is unhurried; the staff are attentive without being performative about it.
Doors open at 6 AM Monday through Saturday, which makes it one of the earlier reliable coffee stops in the area. Prices sit well below the café corridor further down the street, and the quality-to-cost ratio is something several reviewers noted independently. The shop closes Sundays and wraps up by 5 PM on operating days, so it functions as a morning and early afternoon destination rather than an all-day hangout.
