A new venture from the founder of The Coffee House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you've come across The Coffee House in Vietnam, you may be curious about Every Half Coffee Roasters\u2014a venture that also involves that chain's founder, Nguy\u1ec5n H\u1ea3i Ninh. It is, however, less a shop launched by a single entrepreneur and more a new challenge from a team with deep experience in the coffee industry. In a 2024 profile by investor DSG Consumer Partners, Tr\u1ea7n L\u00ea Minh Tr\u1ef1c, Phu Vo, Ninh, and Nguy\u1ec5n Th\u00e0nh Giang are listed as the four co-founders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story begins with Every Half Bean, which Tr\u1ef1c started in 2016\u2014an online community that grew out of people sharing their knowledge and passion for coffee. The founding team had experience working together at Urban Station Coffee and The Coffee House, bringing with them both the operational know-how to run a shop and the knowledge to engage seriously with beans. Knowing that the brand began as a community of people talking about coffee, rather than simply as a spin-off of well-known chains, helps give a clearer picture of what it stands for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand was renamed Every Half in 2021, and according to the official profile, the first roastery opened in June of that year. The first location was at 232\/23 V\u00f5 Th\u1ecb S\u00e1u. An investor announcement in 2024 cited 8 locations within Ho Chi Minh City, but the official branch search as of September 28, 2026 returned 33 results in total: 30 in Ho Chi Minh City, 2 in Hanoi, and 1 in a Da Nang administrative district. That last entry refers to the Silk Village branch in Hoi An. The Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Th\u1ee7 and Ph\u1ea1m Ng\u1ecdc Th\u1ea1ch branches also appear in the current listing. Meanwhile, a branch name mentioned in an earlier article\u2014B\u00ecnh An Wharf\u2014could not be confirmed in this listing, so it is safest to use the branch names and addresses currently shown when planning a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DSG Consumer Partners announced its investment in August 2024. Every Half itself operates under the banner of \"Affordable Specialty\" and aims to bring Vietnamese coffee to the world. That said, having received investment and targeting overseas markets is not proof that the flavor will suit everyone. For travelers, it is more useful to think of it as a place where you can explore Vietnamese coffee at your own pace, choosing your origin and brewing style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Every Half, you can choose from hand brews where you select the beans, classic drinks with condensed milk, and creative variations paired with fruit or sparkling water. Deciding first whether you want to \"compare the beans themselves,\" \"drink something with milk,\" or \"relax with a cold cup\" will help you navigate the terminology more easily. The prices below are from the official menu as confirmed on September 28, 2026. Please check at the time of ordering for changes by location or season, and for price differences depending on the bean selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-origin pour-over<\/strong>
If you want to enjoy the differences between beans, the official HANDBREW \/ FILTER COFFEE menu is the place to start. Beans are selected by the customer, with prices ranging from 70,000 to 100,000 VND. If you want to drink Vietnamese-grown coffee, ask about options listed as Vietnam origin and choose based on farm, region, or processing method. The shop also carries beans from overseas, so not everything is necessarily Vietnamese. Rather than deciding solely on a place name like Da Lat or Buon Ma Thuot, sharing one preference\u2014such as \"I like fruity acidity\" or \"I'd like something less bitter\"\u2014makes it easier to get a recommendation. Rather than assuming it will always be cheaper or better than back home, it is worth judging each cup on its own bean and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Espresso-based drinks<\/strong>
On the official menu, lattes and cappuccinos are 70,000 VND, and medium-roast espresso and Americano are 60,000 VND. Espresso and Americano made with seasonal light-roast beans are listed separately at 70,000\u2013100,000 VND. Be careful not to overlook the fact that even the same \"Americano\" can vary in price depending on the bean. For those who want to start with a familiar milk-based drink, the latte is an easy choice, and asking whether the bean can be changed broadens the scope for comparison. The flat white mentioned in a previous version of this article could not be confirmed in the current menu listing, so please ask at the counter if you would like one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold Brew<\/strong>
In the cold brew category, the listed menu includes Nitro Coldbrew at 60,000 VND and a version with tonic water at 65,000 VND. Nitro uses nitrogen and is not the same as a regular iced coffee by another name. There are also fruit-paired options; Dark Purple is a 80,000 VND cup made with mulberries. If you want to get a sense of the bean's aroma, start with a version without add-ins; if you also want to enjoy fruity flavors, go for a combination. It is also worth not assuming that any of these will necessarily be low in acidity or unsweetened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese Robusta specialty<\/strong>
One area Every Half puts particular emphasis on is Fine Robusta. On the official menu, C\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0111en (black coffee) and C\u00e0 ph\u00ea s\u1eefa (with condensed milk), both made with Fine Robusta, are each 50,000 VND. You can try it in a classic style without ordering anything special. The retail bean \u0110\u1eafk L\u1eafk Honey is specifically described as Dak Lak-grown TR4 variety, honey-processed, and medium-dark roasted. Rather than assuming \"Robusta just means bitter,\" looking at the origin, processing, and roast level opens up a range of differences to explore. Start with it black to get a sense of the bean, or compare it with the condensed milk version you may already be familiar with\u2014choose whichever entry point suits your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasonal creative drinks<\/strong>
For something more creative, Espresso Sparkling in the NEW CROP section of the listed menu is also worth considering. At 65,000 VND, the menu shows bean options including Fine Robusta C\u01b0 M’gar, Liberica Qu\u1ea3ng Tr\u1ecb, and Arabica S\u01a1n La. Seasonal and harvest-based offerings are not guaranteed to remain available under the same name indefinitely. Rather than choosing based on the word \"limited\" alone, asking about the bean used, sweetness level, and whether fruit juice or sparkling water is included will help you decide whether it is the cup you are looking for. Even if a drink looks like a coffee cocktail, do not assume from the name alone whether it contains alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world of specialty coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Robusta is at the heart of Vietnam's coffee production. Even in the USDA's 2026 report, Robusta is estimated to account for more than 90% of production in the 2025\/26 crop year. However, high production volume does not equate to low quality in the cup. What makes Every Half interesting is that it handles Robusta\u2014along with other beans\u2014in a way that makes origins and production methods visible, and tries to communicate those differences to the drinker. Rather than elevating it as something no other chain can do, it seems better enjoyed as an opportunity to look at the beans you usually drink from a different angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official introduction states a policy of working directly with farmers and supporting post-harvest processing. DSG's investment announcement also mentions sourcing from Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Dien Bien, and other regions, as well as seedling development for new varieties. A brand farm visit report also touches on Starmaya being trialed in Son La and Dien Bien. Rather than treating climate adaptation and production continuity as mere marketing language, understanding which region and which variety is involved makes it easier to grasp what is actually being done. When choosing beans in the shop, asking one question beyond the place name\u2014about the variety or processing method\u2014can connect the story of production to the cup in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to enjoy the space itself, choose a specific branch rather than just the brand name. According to the official store descriptions, 217 Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Th\u1ee7 is a coffee corner oriented toward takeaway, while 19A Ng\u00f4 V\u0103n N\u0103m is a shop converted from a 1990s Saigon house. Meanwhile, the Th\u1ea3o \u0110i\u1ec1n location carries the name Roastery. Not every branch has a roaster running that you can watch up close. If roasting is your main interest, head to the Roastery branch; if you just want to grab a cup on a walk, a corner-style location works better\u2014separating your purpose this way will help reduce any mismatch with your expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consulting with the barista is also part of the experience. The official information states that in-store baristas receive at least six months of training, but it was not possible to confirm whether all staff can assist in English or whether equipment such as AeroPress or siphon is permanently available at every location. If a specific brewing method is your goal, check with that branch in advance. When ordering, simply stating a short preference\u2014such as \"Vietnamese beans, please\" or \"Less acidity\"\u2014is enough to get started. If detailed explanations are difficult during busy hours, noting down the product name or origin and reading the official bean descriptions later is another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even those who regularly drink light roasts or single origins back in Japan can bring their usual frame of reference and give things a try. If you are comparing with a companion, changing the bean while keeping the same brewing method will make differences easier to detect than having one person add condensed milk and the other not. On the other hand, simply wanting to enjoy a sweet coffee casually while traveling is a perfectly natural approach. Being at a specialty shop does not mean you have to discuss it in depth. If you can remember the bean and brewing style of a cup you enjoyed and take that knowledge home, it will already be useful the next time you choose a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Access<\/strong>
Central Ho Chi Minh City options include the Ng\u00f4 V\u0103n N\u0103m branch (19A Ng\u00f4 V\u0103n N\u0103m) and the Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Th\u1ee7 branch (217 Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Th\u1ee7). However, the distance will vary depending on where along Dong Khoi Street you are starting from, so it is best not to assume both are equally walkable. Check the route on a map, factoring in heat and rain. The Th\u1ea3o \u0110i\u1ec1n branch with the roastery, at 01 \u0110\u01b0\u1eddng s\u1ed1 10, is a separate destination from the central locations. Official listings also show branches in Hanoi and Hoi An, so you can narrow down options by the city you are visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget guide<\/strong>
Based on officially listed prices, a rough guide is 50,000 VND for black coffee or coffee with condensed milk, 70,000 VND for a latte, and 70,000\u2013100,000 VND for a hand brew with bean selection. If you want to add a light bite, the beFood delivery menu listing for the Ho\u00e0ng Th\u1ebf Thi\u1ec7n branch shows a Daily croissant at 65,000 VND. If you are planning a latte with that croissant, that would come to 135,000 VND. However, the food price is from a delivery listing and may not be the same in-store or at other branches. Rather than assuming it will be half the price of Japan, it is safer to budget separately for drinks only versus drinks with food, and to confirm the total before paying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make the most of it<\/strong>
If it is your first visit, start by asking about one Vietnamese-origin option, then share your preferred style and budget. Taking another sip of a hot coffee after it has cooled slightly can reveal aromas and acidity that were not apparent at first. Every Half has previously hosted cupping sessions for Starmaya, so those who enjoy learning may want to look out for announcements of new events. That said, past events are not held every day at present, and roastery tours are not a guaranteed service at all times. If a tour is your main purpose, confirm the branch and the date and time before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee beans as a souvenir<\/strong>
On the official online shop, for example, 100% FINE ROBUSTA \u0110\u1eaeK L\u1eaeK HONEY is listed at 150,000 VND, and a mixed box of 10 drip bags is listed at 185,000 VND (confirmed September 28, 2026). Bean prices vary by product and quantity, so please do not assume everything comes in 200g at the same price range. Asking whether the retail bean matches the cup you enjoyed in the shop, and whether it can be ground to suit your equipment at home, will make it easier to enjoy after returning. If the recipient does not have a grinder, drip bags are also an option. Since overseas-origin products are also available, if you are prioritizing Vietnamese origin as a souvenir, check the origin stated on the packaging rather than the brand's location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours<\/strong>
In the official store search as of September 28, 2026, the Ng\u00f4 V\u0103n N\u0103m, Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Th\u1ee7, and Th\u1ea3o \u0110i\u1ec1n branches introduced above are all listed with hours of 7:00\u201321:30. Please do not head out late assuming they are open until 22:00. The Ch\u00e2u Long branch in Hanoi is listed as opening at 7:30, so hours are not uniform across all locations. Opening time does not guarantee a quiet atmosphere, so on days when you want to sit and relax, take a look at seating and the queue before settling in, and if you want time for a longer conversation, allow yourself plenty of time when you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every Half Coffee Roasters is a brand built by a team with experience at places including The Coffee House, with a focus on communicating the origins and production background of their beans. You can take your time exploring Vietnamese-grown coffee, or simply enjoy a condensed milk coffee or latte without any fuss. There is no need to feel intimidated because it is a specialty shop\u2014just deciding what flavor you want and what your budget is will be enough to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When planning a visit, thinking not just about convenience but also about what you want to enjoy at that particular branch will make it easier to choose. A quick break, a side-by-side bean comparison, an interest in roasting, or souvenir shopping each call for a slightly different branch and order. If you find a cup you like, take home the name of the bean and how it was prepared. That small discovery may well be what makes you want to learn a little more about Vietnamese coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n
