In the vibrant tapestry of Ho Chi Minh City, amidst the bustling streets and swirling aromas, Tonkin Specialty Coffee stands as a beacon of tradition and community. As the proprietor of this esteemed establishment, I am filled with pride knowing that I play a part in sharing the rich heritage of Vietnamese coffee culture with visitors from all corners of the globe.

My Coffee Journey

My relationship with coffee is deeply ingrained in the fabric of my being, rooted in childhood memories of sipping on robust brews with my family.

Growing up in Vietnam, I witnessed firsthand the profound cultural significance of coffee, from the intimate conversations shared over steaming cups to the bustling coffee shops lining the streets. It was this connection to my heritage and the desire to share it with others that inspired me to embark on the journey of opening Tonkin Specialty Coffee.

With every cup poured, I aim to honor the legacy of Vietnamese coffee and create a space where locals and travelers alike can come together to celebrate this cherished tradition.

Vietnamese Coffee Culture

Vietnamese coffee culture is a symphony of flavors, aromas, and rituals that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression. From the iconic phin filter to the velvety smoothness of egg coffee, each aspect of Vietnamese coffee culture tells a story of resilience, innovation, and tradition.

At Tonkin Specialty Coffee, we take pride in offering a curated selection of Vietnamese coffee blends, each meticulously crafted to showcase the unique characteristics of the beans and brewing methods.
