Best 10 Vietnamese Coffee Brands 2025 (Mainstream & Gourmet)

Vietnamese coffee is so much more than just Cà Phê Sữa Đá

Vietnam is the world’s second-largest coffee exporter, and coffee here is more than just a drink—it’s part of daily street life, just like Banh Mi and Pho.

For the longest time, I thought Vietnamese coffee began and ended with Ca Phe Sua Da — that bold, dark drip coffee sweetened with condensed milk. It’s still a timeless classic, but our coffee culture goes far beyond that.

Each region has its own signature brew: the rich and creamy Egg Coffee from Hanoi, the salty-sweet Salt Coffee from Huế, and the light, milky Bac Xiu from Saigon.

I used to think that the strong, punchy flavor of Vietnamese Robusta might be too intense for Europeans — until every friend who visited fell completely in love with it.

What excites me most now is seeing Vietnam step confidently into the specialty coffee scene.

A new generation of passionate roasters is working directly with single-origin farms, experimenting with creative processing methods, and redefining what Vietnamese coffee can be.

Whether it’s our bold Robusta or smooth Arabica, these beans are showing the world that Vietnam truly belongs on the global coffee map.

These days, I always recommend coffee (and a bar of Vietnamese chocolate) as the perfect souvenir—trust me, you can’t go wrong.

Best Vietnamese Coffee Brands (Gourmet & Specialty)

What makes these brands stand out isn’t just the taste—it’s the story behind each cup. Many work directly with farmers, focus on quality from farm to roast, and highlight the unique flavors of Vietnam’s coffee regions.

What I love most is their passion: from protecting the land to supporting local growers, to proudly sharing our coffee culture with the world.

5. Là Việt Coffee

Founded in 2013 in Đà Lạt, Là Việt means “Be Vietnamese.” Their mission? To prove Vietnamese coffee can stand on par with the world’s best.

With many locations across Vietnam, they offer everything from machine coffee to phin and hand-drip brews. I love how they weave Vietnamese values and customer insights into their brand identity.

6. Every Half

Every Half is a young and refreshing coffee brand in Vietnam that puts the spotlight on Vietnamese specialty coffee.

Its founder — who also founded and previously owned The Coffee House, the brand that popularized the “coffee shop as a workspace” culture among young people — is now focusing on something closer to the roots: pure, high-quality Vietnamese coffee.

Their beans come from carefully selected regions across Vietnam, including smooth, fragrant arabica from Sơn La in the Northern region and fine, full-bodied robusta from Pleiku in the Central Highlands.

Beyond great coffee, Every Half is also committed to supporting sustainable cultivation and ensuring fair benefits for local farmers — because good coffee starts from good soil and good people.

7. The Married Beans

The name says it all—a love story with coffee. Their philosophy is to “make coffee with kindness and responsibility.”

They specialize in 100% Arabica coffee and offer paper-filter coffee, cold brew, and phin options. Their Đà Lạt showroom serves specialty coffee, while their French-style Villa Merionnet workspace is a cozy spot for workshops and coffee tastings.

8. Sơn Pacamara’s Specialty Coffee

Named after the rare Pacamara beans, this brand was born when Mr. Sơn accidentally acquired Pacamara trees in 2010 and started cultivating them in Đà Lạt.

Recognized by the Specialty Coffee Association (scoring over 80/100), Sơn Pacamara focuses on farm-to-cup excellence. At their roastery in Đà Lạt, you can sip Arabica, buy specialty products, or even volunteer on their farm to learn the craft.

9. K’Ho Coffee

This cooperative was founded by an American-K’Ho couple in Lạc Dương, near Đà Lạt. The K’Ho people—an ethnic minority—grow top-notch Arabica on Langbiang Mountain.

Visiting their coffee bar is more than just enjoying coffee; it’s an experience in culture and local heritage.

10. Lacàph

Located in Saigon, Lacàph is as much about storytelling as it is about coffee. They partner with Thai women in Sơn La (a minority group in Northern Vietnam) to source high-quality Arabica beans.

Their Lacàph Phin Blend is a highlight. At Lacàph Space, you can enjoy coffee, explore Vietnam’s coffee history, and even learn how to make the perfect Cà Phê Trứng (egg coffee).

They also provide a diverse range of coffee products for home-brewing folks, including, coffee blends for phin filters, or making Espresso.
