Discover Saigon through its coffee — not just as a drink, but as a cultural journey. Your guide will lead you through hidden alleys and local hangouts, starting with a cà phê vợt shop that has been serving customers for over half a century. Here, coffee is brewed using a cloth “sock” filter, creating a rich, smooth taste that has stood the test of time.

Next, climb up to the famous “cà phê cheo leo” — a tiny balcony cafe tucked away in an old apartment building, with panoramic street views and a storey that made it into The New York Times.

Continue to cà phê bệt, where locals sprawl on mats or tiny stools in a park, chatting, playing guitar, and enjoying iced coffee. This is the ultimate slice of Saigon’s youthful street culture.

Finally, immerse yourself in a coffee workshop led by a local barista. You’ll learn about different brewing methods — from phin filter to pour-over — and create your own blend to enjoy on the spot.

By the end of the tour, you’ll have tasted three very different coffee styles and experienced the social heart of the city.
