Curator’s note

Nam's second room is smaller than the flagship and points its patio at produce stalls and hair salons. The coffee did not change on the way over — one family's farm on Langbiang mountain, roasted light and slow, run through a phin — which is the whole reason to trust a bar this new.

  • A sidewalk sit
  • Morning pastries

The coffee

Same single-farm Da Lat sourcing and house blends as East Hollywood. Phin-brewed base under the sweeter builds; retail bags carry roast level and tasting notes.

Phin-first, with the menu spanning Vietnamese classics and sweeter cafe builds, on a bar still newer than the flagship's.
