About Us
Hi there! I'm Katie Duyen - owner of Phin & Go Cafe. Growing up with a coffee tree at my own garden, I helped my grandfather picked every single coffee fruit out of the tree and watched him make coffee step by step. The coffee flavor went around my small town everytime he roasted it during winter was one of the best memory I always wanted to keep it live.
That's where my love to coffee started!
Viet Coffee is unique
Inherited from French's coffee making style (not French Press) called Bigin (yes, not French Press), Vietnamese make coffee totally different from the rest of the world. We slowly drip the coffee, give it time to bloom, to receive the best extract.
Slow - Strong - Small - Sweet are 4 key elements of Viet coffee. Slowly brew technique make super strong coffee (3x than espresso) therefore traditionally serve in small size (like whisky NOT like wine) and most popularly mixed with sweetened condensed milk which make perfect unforgettable taste!
Apart from 2 most traditional coffee styles: black / milk coffee, There are 2 more popular variants: Egg coffee & Salty coffee, absolutely worth trying!
