For the love of craft coffee

Le Méridien Saigon’s master barista, Mr Duong Chau, shines a spotlight on all things coffee.

Le Méridien Saigon may be known first and foremost as a contemporary design hotel situated in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, but at Latitude 10 the baristas are also pioneers in the world of craft coffee.

At Latitude 10, guests can either enjoy an authentic Vietnamese coffee experience or sample the unique flavours provided by beans from coffee regions around the world. The interactive menu offers the freedom to select from one of six brewing techniques and beans, meaning that at Latitude 10, the capacity for coffee creativity is endless.

While preserving the relationship between Illy coffee and Le Méridien Saigon, Latitude 10 has recently introduced the cà phê trứng, a favourite amongst locals because of its bitter flavour profile. Le Méridien Saigon continues to contribute to Saigon’s coffee culture by offering a unique version of the cà phê trứng that allows guests to sip a taste of tradition with modern modifications, such as the use of egg whites as opposed to yolks.

At Latitude 10, guests can also enjoy their signature nonalcoholic cocktail, the mojito iced coffee, which features double espresso blended with mint leaves and fresh milk. For those wanting something stronger, an exquisite take on the time-old favourite espresso martini is available as well as the more innovative ‘espresso summer’ and the ‘coffee old fashioned.’

In Vietnam, coffee is not only a drink, but a way of life and at Latitude 10 guests are promised a unique coffee experience at one of Saigon’s most innovative coffee hubs. 3C Ton Duc Thang Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Tel: +84 28 6263 6688.
