Egg-coffee brewing
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.

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

Cassy l
The best teacher
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!

Making and drinking the famous Vietnamese egg coffee
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

Belinda K
Well worth it, so enthusiastic
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. 😀

Bernie D
Unique coffee experience

Fun 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)

Aki F
Best class I’ve ever had (and I’ve been to other classes in different countries)
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!!

Vietnam coffee 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.

A must do in hcm

Workshop egg coffee: A must-do expedience in Vietnam
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.

Ron M
A must-do experience for Vietnamese coffee lovers
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.

Tibor B
Don't miss this workshop!
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!

Coffee experience
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.

A Must For Coffee Lovers
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.
