Perfect for Solo Travelers
Great experience. As I went solo, I ended up joining my fellow Filipino people 😄 Everything was great and the staff were very helpful. Would recommend.

If you are a coffee lover, do this , amazing!
Jovel was wonderful. We walked in and were lucky to be able to do the coffee appreciation course straight away. 1 and half hours of wonderful stories, interesting history and delicious tastings. We understand and appreciate Vietnamese coffee culture so much more now.

A tasty and delightful experience!
As a mainly craft beer and bourbon enthusiast from the US, I wanted to see what the Vietnam’s craft spirit scene had to offer. Jovel is a lovely lady and host who took us on a tour of Vietnamese craft gin, rhum, ruou, makkoli and beer. She was clearly very knowledgeable about and excited to share the stories behind each spirit/distillery in Vietnam. I was not only amazed by how tasty all of the beverages were, but also how smooth and drinkable the gin and rhum were. I am typically not a fan of either gin or rhum, but I truly enjoyed the one’s we were able to sample. This experience has indeed opened my eyes to what is possible in the realm of craft spirits and I will certainly look to add some of these other varieties of alcohol to my collection. Thanks Jovel!

Great liquor tasting - wide selection, fun space, generous pours, great hostess
We did the liquor tasting experience and it was AWESOME! Great variety of products (all Vietnamese) from gin to rum to rice wine to makgeolli. Jovel knows a ton about each distillery and the history of the expansion of craft liquors. Cute spot, well worth visiting to learn a bit more about the history, plus generous pours and fun company.

Informative, tasty, friendly, and fun.
I love exploring specialty coffee places so was excited to sign up for this unique caffeine-fueled experience with several friends. It did not disappoint! Jovel and her team provided a top notch event from start to finish - everyone was knowledgeable and friendly.
