When you crave for luxurious coffee, then you go to a specialty cafe serving the best beans combined with their unique local mixing techniques.
I had my first caffeine indulgence in Ho Chi Minh City at L’Usine — a trendy food, retail and art space located at the hip Dong Khoi street.
Hidden in a small alley with art pieces in the ground floor and a two-storey climb up the rustic corner tower, L’Usine was worth all my coffee craving. Plus I got yummy cheeses too!
