    Just incase you don’t read the whole review. EVERY coffee lover and enthusiast NEEDS to visit this shop!! Visited this coffee shop last Sunday with my wife. I was very impressed with the espresso machine which was I believe a Victoria Arduino Black Eagle 2 group. Another thing that caught my eye was the Titus EK43, I’ve only seen two of these in Laos, the other being at Bluekoff. The baristas are very knowledgeable in espresso and pour over. They will ask you how the coffee was and if there are any changes you’d like to make or the next visit. The owner seems to be a coffee enthusiast and a sneaker head as well. They had a display of some pretty difficult shoes to get a hold of even in the western side of the world. There was also a wall display of what looked like every single Hario product you could think of ie. Every version of the v60, siphon, serving glasses etc. I had an iced americano and paid a little bit extra for the Ethiopian beans which were fantastic. My wife had an iced mocha set which included a macaroon which was fantastic and I actually don’t even like macaroons. The mocha wasn’t too milky or sweet like most shops. The espresso shots are weighed and timed and are a standard 1:2 ratio pulled between your standard 25-30 seconds. They seem to be very keen on details here. There’s a wide selection of single origin beans for pour overs and you can get them to pull a shot using those beans as well. But they recommended against using the single origin for espresso, although I disagree with this I let them take the drivers seat in terms of recommendations. I grabbed their house ‘Everyday’ beans (500g for 55.000kip) to use on our modest espresso setup at our office. Our usual beans are the Italian roast from sinook (500g for 85.000kip) but I’m excited to give their beans a try and will make the switch if it’s good. Their beans are always roasted and bagged fresh, the baristas will let you know which day it was roasted if you ask (never more than 2 weeks old) from what I’m told. Final comment is their pastries looks realllly tasty I’ll be grabbing a danish the next visit which should be this week! Note: one thing that does bother me a little is they don't put roast dates on their specialty beans. That's a hard no from me in terms of buying whole beans. Especially at that kind of pricing. Please consider putting a printed roast date on the beans you sell.

    Good coffee, smooth and with the tastes in accordance to the other ingredients. The baristas are nice. The latte was good, with a light coffee taste. Edit: I raise my review from 4 stars to 5 stars as the garbage smell outside of the coffee shop is no longer present.

    Took the brewing 101 class here. Learned a lot. Expert and professional baristas. Down to earth and easy going. Any coffee equipment you're looking for, you can find it here.

    I like to support lil mom and pop places. It's definitely not bad for the price. Girl there seemed a lil lost. Stood there like can I get a menu. I don't know what you guys got. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. No music was dead silent for awhile. Not a place to do remote work. If you drive by and need a good cup of coffee it's worth it if in area.

    If you need coffee go here and not Starbucks. Awesome tasting coffee. Also good source of whole beans. Only downside to the cafe is its limited inside seating.

    The coffee is the best cup I have had in Laos, the pour over coffee is delicious and the acidity is pure. The manager is also very nice. The certificates on the wall prove their love and professionalism for coffee.

    Great coffee in Vientiane. Variety selection of Laos and imported beans. Home of Laos barista and brewer champion. Good vibe, well brewed coffee from experienced baristas. Although location is a bit far away from tourist hot spot, Coffee lovers must give a try.

    Don't know why I haven't yet posted a review in the past 2 years I've been coming here, but this is my absolute, absolute favourite coffee shop in Vientiane. The team really knows their stuff, serving up Pakxong and rare world varieties brewed using whatever method you can think of. Their Coff*ck (unfortunately out of stock at the moment, probably because I drank it all 😂) and 2022 Pi Mai blends are mind-blowing in their flavour profiles. Must stop place for coffee addicts!
