Dream Beans Coffee Roastery

The glass fronted shop of Dream Beans Coffee at 79 Ly Nam De with a cream sign reading Coffee Roastery and Experiences, a bench and two stools outside and an infographic timeline of coffee brewing on the window

Dream Beans is an independently run cafe on Ly Nam De, three floors of houseplants and warm earthy tones with the roastery in view. It is cosy enough that strangers end up talking, and a second, smaller outpost on Nguyen Sieu in Hang Buom sits about a kilometre east.

Beans are sourced from across Vietnam and roasted in house, from light roasted blends for cold brew and pour over to medium roasted single origins and robusta for the phin or moka pot.
