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

If you know Vietnam's coffee scene well, you've probably heard the name The Coffee House. Nguyen Hai Ninh is the legendary entrepreneur who built a giant caf\u00e9 chain with hundreds of locations across Vietnam. His next project is Every Half Coffee Roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Half's story begins in 2016. Co-founder Tran Le Minh Chuc is a professional with more than a decade of experience in the coffee industry, having honed his skills at brands founded by Nguyen Hai Ninh, such as Urban Station Coffee and The Coffee House. It started out as an online platform, sharing the appeal of Vietnamese specialty coffee with coffee lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, it rebranded from Every Half Bean to \"Every Half\" and opened its first combined caf\u00e9 and roastery in Ho Chi Minh City. That marked the start of its journey as a full-fledged caf\u00e9 chain. Today it operates eight locations in Ho Chi Minh City, with shops in prime spots around the city such as Vinhomes Central Park (Thu Duc City), Nguyen Van Thu Street (District 1) and Pham Ngoc Thach Street (District 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also received investment from the Singaporean venture capital firm DSG Consumer Partners, and is steadily making its way toward global expansion as a Vietnam-born specialty coffee brand. A coffee experience committed to quality, a clear cut above mass-production chains \u2014 that's the world Every Half aims for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Every Half Coffee Roasters has a menu that draws out the full potential of Vietnamese coffee beans. Its greatest appeal is that you can enjoy the genuine taste of specialty coffee at Vietnamese prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-origin pour-over<\/strong>
The menu item you could call Every Half's true forte. Beans carefully selected from farms across Vietnam, such as Da Lat and Buon Ma Thuot, are hand-dripped one cup at a time. The real pleasure is enjoying the different flavor notes that come from each bean's origin and processing method. 65,000\u201385,000 VND (about 390\u2013510 yen). You can savor a quality that would cost over 1,000 yen at a Japanese specialty coffee shop for less than half the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Espresso-based drinks<\/strong>
Even standards like the latte, cappuccino and flat white come out in a class of their own in Every Half's hands. Because they use their own roasted beans, the aroma and depth are beyond comparison with a typical chain. 55,000\u201375,000 VND (about 330\u2013450 yen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold Brew<\/strong>
A smooth coffee cold-brewed over a long period. It's a perfect cup for Vietnam's hot climate. With little harshness, the beans' natural fruity flavor stands out. 55,000\u201370,000 VND (about 330\u2013420 yen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese Robusta specialty<\/strong>
Vietnam is famous for Robusta, and Every Half is taking on the challenge of elevating that Robusta to \"specialty grade.\" A clean, complex Robusta coffee that overturns the usual \"bitter and heavy\" image is worth trying at least once if you love coffee. 60,000\u201380,000 VND (about 360\u2013480 yen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasonal creative drinks<\/strong>
Beyond the standard menu, the seasonal creative drinks are not to be missed. You may come across a unique cup you won't find at other caf\u00e9s, such as coffee-cocktail-style drinks made with Vietnamese fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What sets Every Half decisively apart from other Vietnamese caf\u00e9 chains is its thoroughgoing commitment to specialty coffee. Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer by ICO statistics, yet most of that is mass-produced Robusta. Every Half, however, has taken on the mission of proving the potential of Vietnamese coffee beans to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the roastery attached to the shop, everything from green-bean selection to roasting is managed in-house. They use high-quality beans sourced directly from small-scale farmers across Vietnam, in places like the Da Lat highlands and Son La province. They also work on sustainable farming adapted to climate change, so there's a story not just in the coffee's taste but in how it's grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shop design, too, embodies the world of specialty coffee. The Nguyen Van Thu Street shop places a roaster at the heart of a minimal, modern space, where you can watch the beans being roasted up close. The menu board, with careful notes on bean origins and flavor profiles, reads almost like the tasting notes at a wine bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baristas are highly skilled too, choosing extraction methods to match each bean's characteristics. They use a range of brewing tools \u2014 pour-over, AeroPress, siphon and more. Tell the barista your preferences when you order and they'll suggest the ideal cup for you. Many staff speak English, so you can enjoy chatting about coffee too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're familiar with Japan's third-wave coffee, you're sure to be impressed by Every Half's quality. And realizing it's achieved with Vietnamese beans, you'll sense just how deep this country's coffee culture runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Access<\/strong>
All eight shops are located in Ho Chi Minh City. The most accessible for tourists are the Nguyen Van Thu Street shop in District 1 (217 Nguyen Van Thu) and the Ngo Van Nam Street shop (19A Ngo Van Nam). Both are within walking distance of the Dong Khoi Street area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget guide<\/strong>
A single drink is 55,000\u201385,000 VND (about 330\u2013510 yen). Pour-over and specialty menu items run a little higher, but you can enjoy them for less than half the price of a Japanese specialty coffee shop. Food items are around 45,000\u201375,000 VND (about 270\u2013450 yen) as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make the most of it<\/strong>
Start by ordering a single-origin pour-over and chat with the barista about coffee. They'll walk you through the bean's origin and processing method. Coffee sipped while watching the roasting is something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee beans as a souvenir<\/strong>
Every Half also sells its own roasted coffee beans. Take some Vietnamese specialty coffee beans home as a souvenir and you can enjoy the taste of your trip even after you're back. It's around 150,000\u2013250,000 VND (about 900\u20131,500 yen) for 200 g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours<\/strong>
Many shops are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Weekday mornings have a relaxed atmosphere, letting you take your time with your coffee. Weekends can get crowded, so an early time slot is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
