The Mission
Coffees for the curious
Lacàph was founded by Timen Swijtink with a mission written on every bag: to share Vietnamese coffee and culture with curious people everywhere. Single-origin lots, bought direct-trade from highland growers — Arabica Catimor from Sơn La's Ara-Tay, Robusta Sẻ from Gia Lai's Mori, roasts shaped in Lâm Đồng's Zanya. The model is called Cup to Farm: more of every cup travels back up the mountain.
The Bar
151 Đồng Khởi
Then the coffee needed a room. The Coffee Bar opened upstairs at 151 Đồng Khởi — a small espresso bar of dark wood, plaster, and warm sconce light, where a hand-written menu hangs on textured beige plaster under a large dark-metal LACÀPH sign. Morning is work-friendly; the afternoon turns moodier. The 4.9-star, 1,192-review kind of room.
The Workshop
220 Nguyễn Công Trứ
The second room is the Coffee Experiences Space at 220 Nguyễn Công Trứ — the workshop room, where GM of Experiences Rachel Nghi La leads Mini Coffee Experiences (Phin 175,000 · Egg Coffee 290,000 · 30 minutes) and hands-on workshops: Vietnamese Coffee & Culture, Vietnamese Egg Coffee, and Fun & Easy Vietnamese Coffee.

Chapter Three
The Farm
Every cup begins in the Vietnamese highlands — single-origin, direct-trade, never any artificial flavours.
The Vietnamese highlands, where Lacàph's lots are grown — Arabica Catimor and Robusta Sẻ, bought direct from the farm gate.
Cup to Farm
Lacàph's model is written plainly on the bag: Cup to Farm. Coffee bought single-origin and direct-trade from highland growers — Sơn La's Ara-Tay, Gia Lai's Mori, Lâm Đồng's Zanya — so more of every cup travels back up the mountain. No artificial flavours, ever; the character in the cup is the character of the land.
✦ A curious footnoteThe dark roast “Lũy” in your cup is the same roast that took a star at the Great Taste Awards 2025.
