refined.

refined. made its name by treating Vietnamese Fine Robusta as a specialty coffee and brewing it through the traditional phin. This bar is on the second floor of the No Concept store, a few steps from St. Joseph's Cathedral, an all black minimal room with seats at the counter and a small balcony over the street.

Vu Dinh Tu left a finance career to roast at home and opened the first tiny refined. bar in 2021. Beans are roasted in house from Vietnamese highland farms, and the bar also sells Phinoi, its own redesigned phin filter, in ceramic, aluminium and plastic.
