jory has done a great job by explaining about the coffee very patiently, she is talented , u must visit when u come to Vietnam

Fun experience to learn and taste Vietnamese coffee! Vi was a great guide and made the 2h fly by really quickly

Educational workshop about coffee and Vietnam culture! Vĩ was a great teacher and very friendly and smart. His excitement for coffee made the time fun and unique experience.

The experience was very insightful. The coffee was even better! We were taught about the origin of egg coffee. Tram Anh was our friendly guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate! Would definitely recommend! :)

We had a great time learning about coffee with Joey (even if I don't drink coffee). Recommended class for any coffee lovers. :)

Lovely experience--Vi is a phenomenal instructor! Truly one of the best teachers. Highly recommended, and a great way to learn more about Vietnamese coffee culture and brewing.

Wonderful coffee and staff. Vi is very passionate and knowledgeable about coffee. It shows his love for the entire process. I highly recommend this workshop!

Super fun and informative. Hung was amazing and explained everything really well! Would definitely recommend as something fun and different to do in HCMC

Happy to come here! Great experience to learn about Vietnamese coffee culture :) every staff is so friendly! Thank you Sierra and Kieu.

Fun! Never heard or tried the egg coffee before! Very good experience with Sierra and Kieu helping and teaching how to do :)

Great class, great coffee!! Super nice hosts Sierra and Kieu !!! You can learn quickly with them explaining their techniques. By the way, if you like coffee and want to taste the best, come to Lacaph in Saigon

A very good and nice experience brewing egg-coffee ourselves. Kieu gave us good explanations about coffee culture in Vietnam and answered all our questions. A lovely and delicious experience for us.

We had such an amazing time learning about coffee from Vietnam. We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop learning how to make their famous egg coffee.

For my last day of travel in Vietnam, I wanted to learn my new favorite drink: the fabulous egg coffee! I couldn't have had a better time. I was lucky that Beingannlil taught me, with a smile and anecdotes, this little delight! Thanks again for this course. Thanks to the store (yes, I fell for it!) Even on my way to France, I got myself something to make this good egg coffee again. If I come back to Vietnam, I would come back!

Fun, friendly and informative session with Ny and Sierra. Would definitely recommend if you visit Ho Chi Minh and really enjoyed the coffee Malians drinking experience

This course had me leaving with goosebumps, what a wonderful experience.Warm atmosphere as soon as I walked in and all staff are incredibly courteous.
My course was well worth it, so interesting hearing how egg coffee came to be, my instructor Giao was enthusiastic and charming about Vietnamese coffee.
Now I'm left with the knowledge and power to make my own at home.Well worth it, and more importantly thank you for having me. 😀

This tour was fantastic. Tram Anh was a great teacher and made it a very memorable experience. We loved learning about the history of egg culture and its origin. A must do tour.

Well worth it. I found out what I was doing wrong when trying to make good coffee. Also learned about different coffee methods. And good fun as well. Easily recommended

Kieu and Vi were wonderful hosts. They taught us about Vietnamese coffee culture and introduced us to different and delicious ways of drinking coffee.

Had a fun time learning to make various coffees. Instructor was patient and helpful. Give it a go for a fun time
It can be challenging to find the place. It is upstairs from a narrow opening, look for the name up on the balcony. (Remember- it could be on the other side of the road - I got it wrong initially)

They went above and beyond; I didn’t expect it. I’ve been to a lot of classes in different countries and this one feels more personal and I got to meet my classmates and knew a little about their backgrounds.
I would definitely recommend this class!!

We enjoy our coffee and wanted to experience the Vietnamese coffee culture so booked this experience at La Caph. Outside the building appeared like others in the street then step inside and up a set of stairs to find a hip l store and cafe.
We had the opportunity to brew pour over coffee using the V60 and the phin. We learnt about the types of coffee plants growing in Vietnam and exports. Ví, our instructor for the day, was knowledgeable and was a great teacher.If you enjoy your coffee then I would recommend considering adding this experience to your itinerary.

Love the experience where you get to learn Vietnamese coffee culture and recipes in a fun manner. The hosts Kieu and Truc were also very friendly and helpful

Making egg coffee was a great experience! I learned how to make the traditional Vietnamese beverage from scratch, and it was even better than I expected. The instructor was very friendly. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning more about Vietnamese coffee culture.

Had a great time learning the techniques on making local Phin coffee favorites. Vi and Julia were well spoken and the instructions were easy to follow. I feel like a professional barista now.

We had an amazing time on the workshop, prepared and tried different kinds of coffee. It was a nice experience, our host is a very good presenter, professional barista, and she was also very patiently explaining the steps to us. Absolutely recommended to try when you are in Ho Chi Minh City!

Did the “fun and easy workshop” which made 3 mini coffees: 1) bac xiu (90% cream/ milk), 2) ca phe muoi (sea salt coffee, 3) phin con panna (yogurt with coffee). Cost 480,000 VND. Located upstairs of one of their coffee shops with scientific style equipment (beakers and scales) and led by knowledgeable guide. Included a video about local coffee plantation. Downside: value lacking as we were only given 3 tiny shot glasses of coffee (which mostly consisted of milk/ cream and was not even equivalent to one normal glass of coffee). They should combine this class with the egg coffee class to make it more worthwhile.

Amazing experience!!! extremely informative lesson about vietnamese coffee, its origins and how to make it. we were able to make 3 different coffees and they were all amazing!

This was for sure one of the best experiences we’ve had in Ho Chi Minh City. We learned to make 3 different coffees from a super the sweet and helpful host Tran anh. She was able to answer every question we had.

Loved it! Coffee was so good and Trâm Anh did a great job explaining everything. She was so nice. The store and surroundings were cozy.

Very fun and informative, Definitely worth checking out of you’re in the city. (Spoiler) Lots of unexpected gifts and well worth the money.

If you love coffee, you have to take this class to learn and appreciate Vietnamese coffee history and culture. Kieu taught us the commonly used brewing methods in Vietnam plus the evolution of their coffee culture and drinks in Vietnam. If you are vegan, good news, the coffee beans used are not roasted in butter. Let them know you are vegan though because they include honey and dairy in the ingredients to be used so they can swap it with alternatives.
