French Villa · 1950s · Võ Thị Sáu

The hummingbird flies backwards inside an old villa

Tucked down an alley in District 3, a whitewashed colonial villa with deep-green shutters, a leafy courtyard, and a roaster humming at the back of the compound. Quiet, bright, laptop-friendly — specialty coffee roasted in-house.

The walk

01

The alley

Turn off the busy street into a quiet alley. The noise drops away before you even see the door.

02

The courtyard

Stone paving, potted plants, white metal chairs — morning light best, and the pastry case is fullest early.

03

The roastery

Past the blackwood bar lies Blue in Green — the Probat roaster where every cup on the menu begins.

Story

Since 2018, flying backwards through the supply chain

Trần Bá Hòa — CQI Q Grader, trained in roasting in Korea and Australia — opened it with two friends, then moved into this 1950s French villa in 2019.

“We aim to bring to your table the cup that will reflect all the care given by so many human beings along the coffee journey.”
In the words of The Hummingbird team
