14 Ton That Dam Street, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Down a quieter stretch of District 1, Refined Coffee & Cocktails is the kind of place that doesn’t scream for your attention, it earns it. It’s equal parts neighbourhood café and after hours hideout, perfect for everything from your morning flat white to your evening Negroni (or three).
By day? Precision poured coffee. By night? Cocktails that could hold their own in Tokyo or Brooklyn. Just low lights, high standards, and really good drinks.
It’s easy to throw around words like “craft” and “cool”, but Refined actually walks the talk. Here’s what makes this spot stand out in a city full of coffee cups and cocktail shakers:
Every espresso shot and pour-over is crafted with intention. Beans are sourced and brewed with skill, no shortcuts, no bitter aftertaste, just clean, satisfying flavour.
From classic favourites to clever originals, the cocktail list is short, sharp, and hits all the right notes. Think quality spirits, balanced profiles, and bartenders who know their way around a shaker.
Coffee shop by day, cocktail bar by night, Refined Coffee & Cocktails nails the tricky transition without skipping a beat. The lighting shifts, the playlist changes, and the mood melts from caffeine buzz to cocktail chill.
There’s a lot to love on the menu, but these are the picks we keep coming back for:
Bitter, bold, and effortlessly cool. It’s a classic for a reason, and Refined’s take is dangerously sippable.
Refined keeps things fresh with a rotating list of signature drinks that play with flavour, texture, and just the right amount of flair. They even come up with different combinations of coffees and cocktails that celebrate various events and holidays such as Valentine and Tet.
Come early and enjoy select cocktails at wallet friendly prices, the perfect way to start (or end) your night.
Step inside Refined Coffee & Cocktails and you’ll see why people linger. The lights are low, the music is just loud enough, and there’s an unspoken invitation to unwind. The space feels like a well-kept secret and that’s the point. Refined is for people who appreciate good coffee, great cocktails, and a place that doesn’t try too hard to be cool, because it already is.
