Coffee tours in Ho Chi Minh City offer hands-on exposure to Vietnam’s rich coffee traditions. Local guides demonstrate traditional brewing methods while explaining the cultural importance of coffee in Vietnamese daily life. I’m especially fond of the small-group workshops where you’ll learn to make classic Vietnamese egg coffee and the strong, sweet ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk).
The best tours combine coffee tasting with street food sampling, particularly around District 1’s historic cafes. These walking experiences provide both cultural context and authentic flavors – you’ll see locals enjoying their morning coffee while perched on tiny plastic stools, just as they’ve done for generations.
Our carefully selected tours below showcase the finest coffee experiences in Ho Chi Minh City, from traditional to modern preparations.
