It’s a question I’ve come to expect, one that invariably sparks a conversation as rich and invigorating as the coffee we serve. “A truly Vietnamese coffee boutique, devoid of Arabica?” they ask, their curiosity piqued as they take in the aroma of freshly brewed Fine Robusta. With no doubt, I nod, affirming their observation. Here, at Tonkin Specialty Coffee and Tonkin Garden Cafe, Arabica doesn’t make an appearance on our menu. Only the bold, full-bodied essence of Fine Robusta graces our cups.
And oh, how I love to delve into the story behind this deliberate choice with our patrons. It’s more than just a preference; it’s a passion woven into the very fabric of our coffee culture.
Exploring the World of Vietnamese Robusta Coffee
Coffee is not merely a drink; it’s a cornerstone of culture, a unifier that bridges gaps and sparks conversations across the globe. In the vast and intricate landscape of coffee, a perpetual discourse rages on between the devotees of Arabica and Robusta beans.
Nestled in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Tonkin Specialty Coffee is one of the best coffee shops to experience authentic Vietnamese flavors. From the iconic egg coffee and refreshing coconut coffee to bold Vietnamese coffee and the unique salt coffee, every sip is a journey into tradition. For non-coffee lovers, our Vietnamese matcha offers a gentle alternative. Pair your drink with a freshly baked banh mi or a buttery croissant, and savor the true taste of Vietnam in a setting inspired by folk culture and Indochine charm.
