Cloth-filter coffee,old-Saigon, the vot way
Thuan Ca Phe brews coffee through a cloth vot filter — slow-dripped, dark and glossy, deeply fragrant. Add the homemade rock-sugar mulberry and the 26k black coffee, and this is a quiet old corner right by the Ho Thi Ky flower market.
Three steps to anold-Saigon cup
No hurried machines. Cloth filter, boiling water, and patience — the way Saigon has been drinking coffee for decades.
Steeped in the cloth vot
The café's roasted coffee steeps in the traditional cloth vot, keeping the bold flavor while filtering out the bitter grounds.
Drop by drop
Boiling water pours slowly through the vot, each coffee drop falling — thick, glossy, fragrant, the "old-school cafe" regulars praise.
To the glass, over ice
Black 26k, milk coffee 29k, bac xiu 29k — a simple glass on the wooden table, next to the little plant.
Homemade mulberry, candied with rock sugar
The café makes its own mulberry — fresh berries candied with rock sugar, sweet-tart and balanced. Regulars call it the café's "must-try", showing up in smoothies, blended drinks, and yogurt. Mulberry-drink prices: ask at the counter.
