Review Body: After 1 month of drinking Vietnamese coffee we finally went and learned what it actually is that we are drinking. This experience was very informative and fun. We learned how to make 3 different coffee types and learned some general information about their local business and the coffee they sell. One thing we also liked was that it was a small group, only 3 people which made it more cozy. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend this place if you are coming to Saigon.

Review Body: This was a great experience and was so informative! We learned about Vietnamese coffee and how to properly use a phin to brew coffee, as well as learning how to make egg coffee and coconut coffee (and got to try them all). The host was great, very knowledgeable and open to answering all of our questions. I chose this workshop because it wasn’t as long as some, and for me it was perfect. I would definitely recommend it.

Review Body: Love the friendly atmosphere throughout the workshop! Workshop was kept small and every one had a turn making their own coffee, without being hurried. The second roaster shared his coffee knowledge and spoke excellent English. Hoping to recreate the egg coffee and coconut coffee that I learnt from the workshop! Highly recommend this workshop - even kids can participate (I had my 17, 15 and 13-year old kids join)!

Review Body: A coffee lovers heaven. Come learn about different Vietnam coffee species that are hard to get anywhere else. I was lucky enough to spend several hours for the coffee roasting and egg, coconut and phin brewing classes. Each class was deeply informative - thank you so much Ngiah for sharing your knowledge so generously. I’m excited to take these beans home and replicate everything I’ve learned

Review Body: Had an amazing time at the coffee workshop with 96B roasters. The space was beautiful, the instructor (96B’s roaster) was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a really fun intro to Vietnamese coffee. Plus, the each coffee drink we tried was delicious. Loved 96B’s focus on good coffee and coffee education. Highly recommend for any coffee nerd visiting HCMC

Review Body: This course was awesome, the detail of knowledge was exceptional. The atmosphere of the coffee shop is great and my trainer was super friendly and a great teacher. To say he was a 'barista' in an understatement, he was a coffee expert. I learned so much and made some of the best coffee I have ever tasted in my life!

Meet your host

Hana started roasting and brewing coffee in 2014 before training at the SPC Coffee Academy in Seoul. In 2016, she returned to Saigon to create 96B Experiment, a cosy space above a pastry and chocolate shop. For Hana, enjoying coffee is about staying open-minded and appreciating the effort behind each cup—there’s no right or wrong, just what you like. Her co-founder, Thái, left a corporate job after realising coffee was his true calling. With experience from living in multiple countries, he brings a unique perspective to design, marketing, and long-term planning. Together, they work to highlight the diversity of Vietnamese coffee beyond Robusta, sourcing directly from farmers and continuously learning to share the best of Vietnam’s coffee culture with the world.
