Vietnamese coffee places in KL & PJ

It is no secret that Vietnam is famous for its soupy pho and crusty banh mi. But let’s not forget that it is also home to some of the best coffee. When it comes to a cup of joe, Vietnamese brews surely own a seat on the podium – think condensed milk coffee, egg coffee, and yoghurt coffee. 

The good news is that we don’t have to fly to Vietnam to get authentic Cà Phê Sữa (condensed milk coffee) or Cà Phê Dừa (coconut coffee). Whether you are looking to have your first sip of Vietnamese coffee or relive your coffee euphoria in Vietnam, it can be as easy as going to these 7 Vietnamese coffee places in KL and PJ for a legit taste.

1. Kee Nguyen – affordable Vietnamese coffee from RM4

The story of Kee Nguyen began with two Malaysian graphic designers having the idea to serve affordable Vietnamese coffee with a taste so authentic that it can bring customers back to Vietnam with just one sip. Their passion resulted in a coffee startup business, which now runs 52 outlets in Malaysia.

The Malaysian founders weren’t kidding when they said “affordable coffee”. At Kee Nguyen, you can get Vietnamese Americano at RM4, Vietnamese Condensed Milk Coffee at RM6, and Vietnamese Latte at RM7. 

Yet, being affordable doesn’t mean skimping on the quality. Their Arabica and Robusta coffee beans are sourced directly from Da Lat in Vietnam, which is known to be an important region for coffee plantations in the country.

Kopi Saigon is more than just a name for the coffee shop. While kopi is a widely known term that refers to coffee in Bahasa Melayu, Saigon is the former name of Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam. Putting these two words together means connecting the kopi culture of Malaysia with the flavours of Vietnam.

At Kopi Saigon, halal Robusta coffee beans are grounded and brewed using aVietnamese phin filter which results in a cup of full-bodied coffee.
