A very good Specialty coffee shop with a great selection of beans and a great story about the value of the beans and their farmers. Must try the coffee here. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing coffee and experience for coffee lovers. They offer a variety of specialty coffee from around the world. The barista are extremely friendly and introduced the different coffee beans to us. The taste of the coffee was delicious. Also the interior is extremely aesthetically pleasant - simple and minimalist. The atmosphere overall is amazing. It’s a perfect experience in Saigon to explore their coffee culture. I highly recommend visiting their cafe to enjoy the coffee and calm down from the busy streets in Saigon.

If you're a coffee lover, you'll enjoy this place. It does have good quality coffee. It tastes really good. And the staff are friendly and happy to explain the details of the beans. But it's a bit tricky to find the place as it's all dark outside and doesn't have a sign with the name. You can easily pass by unless you take a caution. One downside is the price. I paid for over 340k dong for handgrip coffee. I lived in Australia over 12y and it has really good quality coffee, but they were not as expensive as this one. So I'm taking out one star.

A true coffee enthusiast place! From start to finish, we were served by Bow who we must say is EXCELLENT! Good product knowledge is top notch. Skill and expertise is commendable. Tho I would recommend you come off hours as that's when you really get to talk to the team and that's when their passion will really shine!

Read this before visiting. I felt compelled to write this review after seeing an English gentlemen berate the staff about the coffee being too light, and not strong. - While I would highly recommend this specialty coffee cafe to anyone looking for an exceptional cup of coffee, it's worth noting that it might not be the best fit for those who are more accustomed to regular coffee. The cafe specialises in specialty coffee, which often requires a more refined palate and an appreciation for the nuances of different beans and brewing methods. That being said, if you're a fan of filter coffee, you'll definitely want to give this cafe a try. Filter coffee is brewed using a method that involves passing hot water through a bed of ground coffee, resulting in a cup that is typically smoother and more balanced than espresso. The flavors of the coffee are also more pronounced, as the slower brewing process allows for more extraction of the coffee's natural oils and flavors. In comparison, espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at high pressure, resulting in a strong and concentrated shot of coffee. Espresso is often used as the base for other coffee drinks, such as cappuccinos and lattes, and has a bolder, more intense flavor than filter coffee. Overall, if you're a fan of specialty coffee and appreciate the subtler flavors and aromas of filter coffee, this cafe is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for a different experience than you might be used to with regular coffee.

Clean and unique environment. Every item on their menu have a taste of coffee fragrance and the gelato with its coffee powder taste really great for me. Great for coffee lovers to visit here!

I can’t recommend this place enough. Amazing coffee and experience for coffee lovers. They offer a variety of specialty coffee from around the world. The staff is extremely friendly and introduced the different coffee beans to us. They really love coffee and you can notice that when you hear them talking about their beans. The taste of the coffee was incredible. They have a great variety of beans and they explain everything you need to know about them. Also the interior is aesthetically pleasant - simple and minimalist. The atmosphere overall is amazing. It’s a perfect experience in Saigon to explore their coffee culture. You can relax and have a great cup of coffee here.

It is not only about coffee, but experience as well. Probably the most expensive pour-over coffee I have paid so far, but also the best I had by far. Staff took time to explain the different varieties and recommended me one based on my preferences (acidity). And it was delightful. Decoration is minimalist which contrast with the busy Pasteur street. Will definitely return here to try out other varieties.

A place that offers a delightful coffee experience. Really recommended for those who love specialty coffee, Staff so nice and they sharing anything about coffee! Pastry so delicious, will comeback again ❤️

Just to note that this is a specialty coffee place and not your typical normal everyday coffee. The place can be a bit intimidating since it seems so clean and pristine - and goes with a minimalist look. However once you enter and get to know the coffee selections and the staff, you will be amazed at how well they know and introduce the coffee. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended to specialty coffee lovers or anyone that wants to try a different coffee experience.

Stumbled upon this unassuming gallery-like coffee specialty shop. It was an unexpected experience, very educational and every detail was taken care of for the best experience of tasting the best coffee beans. Pastries were a bonus! The staff here has put in a lot of effort to ensure coffee lovers will have the best time — truly a break from the bustling city.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this delightful coffee shop and I must say. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the specialty coffee they served. With a wide range of coffee varieties sourced from farms around the world, there was something to please every coffee lover's palate. But it didn't stop there - the pastries they offered were equally impressive. Overall, this coffee shop exceeded my expectations. Not only did they provide an exceptional coffee experience, but they also created a cozy and inviting space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment. I highly recommend stopping by for a cup of their specialty coffee and indulging in their mouthwatering pastries. You won't be disappointed!

Speciality coffee for your special day. ☕️ The service is beyond my expectation . The staff really put a lot of effort to their service and their coffee. They will make sure that your coffee experience here it will worth for what you paid for. Also, coffee that sells here is good for environment and coffee farmer. The building has many floor and each floor has different decoration. I love their Monstera ☘️ but that floor quite hot though.

Very knowledgeable staff and amazing light roast coffee. They offer various specialty coffee beans and, provide lots of information about the sourcing of the beans all the way to extracting the grounds before serving. The roasts they offer are extremely light to highlight the flavor of the coffee beans. It was a good experience overall!

The best place in town (or the whole Vietnam) for coffee lovers/mads. Come to simply enjoying their specialty coffee, ended up listening to all the weirdest stories about coffee and tasting their signature “shot”, which they’re deadly serious about not calling it an espresso. It’s like having a fine dining experience but with only coffee and great conversation. Oh and a bonus, their pastries are great also, very fitting with their drinks.

Art Noir style coffee establishment with excellent skills and artistry. Specialist coffee carefully selected for your personal tastes even though there are limited variety. The detail in knowledge is fantastic, the cue cards to go with the information delivered give a comprehensive understanding of where the coffee comes from, and the superb state the art coffee machinery makes this place a wonderful experience. I highly recommend visiting here and trying some rare coffee with unique brewing techniques.

Kicked off our first full day in HCMC with the best coffee from XLIII Specialty Coffee. The aesthetic and concept is unlike any other. XLIII focuses on delivering a unique and personable experience for its customers. Upon entering the non-descript hallway, we were seated at the bar table with barista Han attending to us. She patiently explained the concept and the visual cue cards also helped a lot in understanding the origins of the coffee beans and tasting notes. All coffee beans are lightly roasted to allow the complex flavours to fully come through. No doubt this was the most expensive cup of coffee I’ve ever had but it’s worth it for the experience. Han is very friendly and even recommended us some local places to check-out for food. The homemade canelé is also really good. They have 3 branches in Vietnam so far - the first being in Da Nang, this one we visited is in Ho Chi Minh and there’s another one in Hoi An. If you’re a coffee lover, this is definitely a place not to miss!

Best specialty coffee in dictrict 1 Staff so friendly and i really like here 🫶🏻

A wonderful specialty coffee store in Ho chi min city!! All staffs are very very nice and fulling with supportive and service mind. I used to come here since 2 years ago and will absolutely come here again if I have a chance to visit Ho Chi Min in the next time. A cutest complimentary snack after finish drinking the coffee is great!

Trải nghiệm cà phê rất tuyệt vời.

We had a fantastic time learning and sampling different coffees. Very upscale. Will, our barista, was incredibly knowledgeable about coffee in general and each batch specifically. They have cards for each batch that describe everything from the origin, the price they pay the farmer, and the flavor notes at each temperature. The sourdough brownie and sourdough cardamom were great pairings. Highly recommend!

Delicious coffee with an in-depth explanation of origins, flavors, and any other information you could want or need. Bao was extremely knowledgeable and explained every step as he made the coffee, and very nice to talk to in general. Highly recommend for anyone interested in speciality coffee to visit here

My husband I discovered this specialty coffee via Google maps. You won’t even notice there was a coffee shop on that side of the street. The interior was very minimalist. The staff who assisted us was very knowledgeable in the coffee. It was bit pricey, but the story behind the coffee was amazing to hear and learn. Overall it was a great experience being able to taste coffee from another country source, not typical but extraordinary. They will show you the process of extracting a cup. Best for coffee enthusiasts!

Astonishing place to be. The personnel, the atmosphere, and most importantly the coffee itself. The way people here approach to serving is incredible, the attention they pay to the farms and your experience is absolute wonder. 100% recommended to visit if you really value great coffee.

Awesome coffee shop in Saigon, really happy to find this place. Tandoji is very professional and knowledgeable about his coffees. We had a good chat about the coffee. Will definitely go back again soon before we head back to NZ.

Exceptional Experience at XLIII Coffee I recently visited XLIII Coffee and had the pleasure of being served by Yun and Nam. As someone who isn’t a coffee connoisseur, I found their passion and knowledge about coffee truly impressive. They took the time to explain the details of the coffee I was drinking, making the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how Yun and Nam made the interaction fun and engaging. They didn’t just serve coffee; they created an experience that was both memorable and delightful. It’s staff like Yun and Nam who elevate the entire cafe experience, turning a simple visit into something special. I highly recommend XLIII Coffee, and I look forward to my next visit!

Great coffee experience. The baristas are very knowledgable about the coffee and help you to choose the best bean. We had 6 to choose from and could either be espresso, V60 or milk based. Both coffees we tried were immaculate. Would definitely recommend!

Really great coffee shop I think! This is a coffee shop that offers great hospitality and is a must-visit when you come to Ho Chi Minh City! They serve coffee using excellent equipment not often seen in the area. The space is also very sophisticated. When you go to a store, the staff will provide a polite service to each customer and explain in detail about the coffee they serve, so you won't have to worry about what to drink✨ This is a coffee shop I definitely want to visit when I go to Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you!

A very interesting specialty coffee place. The staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. They seem to enjoy chatting to the customers about coffee. I like that they are very passionate about coffee and provide lots of info. I personally don't drink much coffee so I tried the decaf iced coffee which was very nice. The barista let me try some cascara tea which to me was really awesome. I really enjoyed the coffee gelato as well. The shop also has a very unique sci-fi/modern design. Worth a visit since it was one of the more interesting coffee experiences for me in Saigon.

Really good place to satisfy specialty coffee cravings. Shout out to Bow who made our cups perfectly. They serve some pastries as well. If you like an engaging coffee experience, really recommend this place, worth a visit!

A beautiful cafe that has ample working space. The cafe is easy to find from the street level - it has a black facade and a 'ticket booth' looking glass pane, where you have to place your order and pay before being showed in. There are nice little touches such as staff being dressed in factory-style overalls and caps. Service was good, staff were friendly. I only tried the 'milked-based' coffee there, which I understood should mean something like a Flat White, and herein is my only complaint about the place. The coffee I was served looks and tastes like it could have come from an all-in-one coffee machine (such as Jura) that you would find in an office. The milk was not silky, the foam was separated from the milk, and the taste of the beans did not come through. I haven't tried the other coffees or beans, but looking at the reviews it seems like they execute those well. As is the case here, the 'milk-based coffee' seems to be a recurring issue among reviewers. It need not be one - the cafe is more than well equipped to make an excellent brew. Happy to return to give this place another try.

Not your typical coffee place, with prices ranging up to 500k VND per coffee (Cerro Azul #0350). The taste is outstanding and very different from typical coffee. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are happy to explain their coffee and process in great detail for those that are keen. The flavor profile changes as the hot coffee turns warm and then to cold (after the addition of ice at the end). So take your time, savor it, and leave some at the end to add some ice to see the difference. Most coffees are not available with milk, but they gave us 2 choices with milk options. No coffee can have any sugar added to it, so I would say this is for people that enjoy the taste of coffee, although the taste is unique and not bitter on its own here.

Completely unique and incredible experience for anyone remotely interested in coffee. We were walked through a variety of different beans, with the opportunity to smell each one and talked through the tasting profile of each. I was not expecting this attention to detail when looking for my morning latte. Pastries were also incredible! Had to order more because they were so good! Will delivered amazing service and was so knowledgeable about the coffee and the process.

This team has curated a wonderful and adventurous coffee experience like nowhere else. They take immaculate care of their process, environment, and the coffee the serve. The team was highly educated and thoughtful in their presentation of one of the most unique and high-end coffee experiences I’ve ever had. From bottom to top, this is a venue, team and cup of coffee I’d recommend seeking out.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re a coffee nerd. The staff friendly and knowledgeable in explaining the beans, process in details even if you’re very new to the specialty coffee scene. The decor and ambiance is very modern and minimalist. I will be back to try their other offerings and buy some beans back for friends.

Had an incredible coffee experience at XLIII. Han and all the staff were so friendly and helpful - when Han realised I was a coffee nerd she went out of her way to give us a tailored experience - allowing us to smell all of the coffees they had on offer. The atmosphere is very modern and sleek. They are very passionate about specialty coffee and go to every length to bring out the best flavour from the coffee beans - including filtering and mineralising their own water. Overall had a great time and the service was above and beyond. Han even gave us recommendations on places to eat in Saigon and walked us to our grab with an umbrella because it was raining.

Beautiful interior! Fantastic coffee flavours. Barista named Vinh was friendly, generous with sharing coffee knowledge and patient! Would definitely come back here in the morning for a different vibe as my visit here is at night! Pros visiting at night is that as if you signed up for a private coffee tasting session. Definitely recommend!! Must visit, if you're a coffee lover!

Spectacular coffee and impeccable service. I love that this coffee shop is bringing such a great concept to Saigon, working with local small farmers around the best coffee regions in the world. You can taste the quality in the drinks (I got a filter coffee) and the whole experience is like a ritual in such an aesthetic space.

The best coffee in town!! Good quality coffee! Here is a beautiful and minimalist space, I love it!. The staff is very friendly and funny. They helped me understand the specialty coffee I drank. So I ordered Panama Geisha filtered coffee. This coffee is high authenticity and purity.

Probably the best specialty coffee in Vietnam, definitely worth a visit. They source only the best beans from around the world with score of 85+/100 and roast them lightly in order to keep the original flavors. It’s a unique coffee experience that you won’t find anywhere else in Vietnam. For the best tasting experience I recommend the hot filter coffee with no milk. Staff are friendly, although the ordering experience could be better. Prices are in the upper end but it’s worth it.

A Really unique cafe…you start by ordering your coffee and beans at a “ticket box” by the entrance. If you ask for recommendations, the staff is more than willing to help. Then you enter and you can choose a seat anywhere you want across two floors. The cafe has a really minimalistic black and white design with with sparks of green plants. I loved the vibe, so calming and peaceful. There is no music playing, the sole focus is on coffee. I ordered filter coffee with surma #77 beans and the coffee was amazing! Very complex flavour and very well brewed! Definitely recommend to any coffee lover, but be aware that the prices are much higher than anywhere else in Vietnam.

The best coffee experience i've ever had! This is honestly the true definition of specialty coffee. Everyone is very passionate about coffee. I highly recommend coming for the experience because it's definitely not your usual coffee place.

We tried 3 different beans for tasting. The cafe specializes in beans that have floral and fruity notes. We enjoyed the explanation and story of the beans. The desserts are also really good! I recommend the sourdough brownie.

Exceptionally great coffee. Must try for coffee lovers

Must visit to experience difference ways to enjoy coffee! The staffs are knowledgeable about their coffee. They share their love for coffee to their customers. The coffee shop atmosphere has a minimalistic concept, so you can slow down and enjoy your cup of coffee in the best way possible. Will visit again.

I had an exceptional experience at the XLIII Specialty Coffee; it stands out as the best I've visited thus far. The staff warmly greeted me and took the time to introduce their coffee selection, showcasing their deep knowledge of their beans and features. ☕️ They expertly recommended a coffee tailored to my taste, and their fluent English made communication effortless. I was impressed by their enthusiasm in sharing insights into coffee culture and ways to truly savor each cup. Thank you again! 🤎 The venue itself was inviting, with a modern, comfortable, clean, and tranquil atmosphere, offering a refreshing change of pace. I wholeheartedly recommend this coffee shop to anyone visiting Vietnam for an unforgettable coffee experience. Now I understand why the ratings are high! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FYI. There were no Vietnamese coffee beans available at the shop lol

It was a new coffee drinking experience for me. One of the coffee specialist Will was very professional and informative about what coffee beans they are serving and the history behind the beans and farms. Will was maintained quality service throughout my visit. Will definitely make a second visit soon. Highly recommend for a new and different coffee experience.

Such a cute coffee shop! With a wonderful experience to match. They have rotating coffee beans from around the world and can make of them for you to sample using a very simple pour over or machine method. The staff is very knowledgeable. I suggest coming with a few people and sampling all 6 current flavors.

A cool coffee experience in the heart of Saigon district 1. The guys are well versed with the importance of understanding the world of coffee with their sustainable and ethical approach. A must see place if you're a coffee enthusiast or not.

นี่คือการแปลเป็นภาษาอังกฤษ: This has been a unique and exciting experience. The flavors, the care, and the coffee knowledge are all exceptional. The ambiance of the shop is beautiful and very unique, almost like stepping into another world. It's perfect for those looking for a new coffee experience. The prices are on the higher side, but I think it's worth it.

I don’t see what’s so special about this place. Overpriced coffee, wouldnt say the service was exceptional (especially for foreigners because it was hard to discern what was said). Probably this place is ok for super coffee nerds, but definitely not for regular people who want cold coffee on a hot day. Also it seems like most of the reviews are fake, but I don’t know

Coffee khá đa dạng, tập trung vào chất lượng cà phê, nhân viên phục vụ tận tình. everything is fine!
