Offered in: English

Delve into the rich world of Vietnamese coffee culture with a hands-on workshop in the heart of Hanoi. Designed for small groups of up to eight, this intimate experience begins with an engaging introduction to Vietnam’s coffee heritage and the country’s signature Robusta beans—the key export that makes Vietnam the world’s second-largest coffee producer.

Guided step by step by a friendly local barista, you’ll master the art of brewing with the traditional phin filter, create the iconic Hanoi egg coffee, and explore up to six distinct local styles, including two trending favorites — salt coffee and coconut coffee.

Each guest will brew and taste their own cup, receive easy-to-follow recipes and a small takeaway gift, and leave with the confidence to recreate these authentic flavors at home. Beyond coffee, you’ll also enjoy a warm, creative atmosphere and receive personalized local tips on food, cafés, and hidden gems to make your time in Hanoi unforgettable.
