Hanoi Coffee Workshop: Brew 6 Vietnamese Coffees at a Local Roastery

Hanoi, Vietnam

About

This Hanoi coffee workshop takes place at Local Beans Roastery, our roastery in a quiet villa down an alley in Ba Dinh, away from the tourist crowds. A local barista starts with the story of coffee in Vietnam and its place in daily life, then hands you the beans, the phin filter and the milk jug.

Over three hours you brew and taste six coffees: a pour-over, egg coffee, brown coffee with condensed milk, salt coffee, coconut coffee and a coffee cocktail made with a traditional homebrew. Vegan guests make peanut butter coffee with plant-based condensed milk in the same session. Add a light meal or a full-course Vietnamese meal to make a morning of it, or book the whole class for your own group.

Frequently asked questions

Is the workshop suitable for vegans?

Yes. The vegan options use plant-based condensed milk, and peanut butter coffee replaces egg coffee, so they also suit lactose-intolerant guests. Vegan and non-vegan guests can join the same session, each with their own set of ingredients, so mixed groups can book together.

What do the meal options include?

The light meal is one of banh mi, fresh spring rolls, banh gio or pho cuon, with vegan versions of the banh mi and spring rolls. The full-course meal is one of bun cha nem, vegan bun rieu, bun bo Hue or banh xeo, served with seasonal fruit. Both come with hotel pickup in the Old Quarter.

Can we book a private class for a group or a special occasion?

Yes. The private class is run for your group only, with free pickup within 10 km of Hanoi Post Office, and the start time, pickup place and menu can be set around you, for example all vegan or gluten-free. Tell us the occasion and group size when you book.

Can children join?

Yes, the workshop is open to all ages. The coffees are strong and the cocktail is made with a traditional homebrew, so tell us children's ages when you book. They can still grind, brew and whisk egg foam with everyone else.

Can I buy the beans we use in class?

Yes. Local Beans roasts the beans it uses in the workshop and sells them at the roastery, including Arabica beans and phin coffee, ground or whole. With the recipes from the class, you can keep making the same coffees at home.
