Banh Mi Baking & Coffee Brewing Class: French Legacy in Hanoi

This was a wonderful experience. We learned how to make coffee (I chose to learn how to make coconut coffee and my sister chose the salted cream coffee, there was also an egg coffee option), and then of course we learned how to make the banh mi baguettes. It was a fun process and I learned a lot. They also taught us how to prep the filling (veggies, slicing meat, fried egg, etc.) The end result was delicious. They also give the option to buy some of the things used in the class (like the coffee filters and coffee beans, etc.) which was very convenient. Overall I would highly recommend for those wanting to learn how to make banh mi and coffee on their own. I'm excited to use the digital recipe booklet when I return back home.

I had an amazing time at the Dine With Locals Banh Mi class at Love Kitchen Lab. The place is very cozy with a beautiful, homey ambiance, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our instructor Hazel guided us through the entire process of making Bánh mì from scratch, from preparing the dough, shaping and baking the bread, to assembling the sandwich with delicious fillings. The class was small at that time(only 4 people) so it was very hands-on and interactive. Another highlight was the Vietnamese coffee workshop where we learned how to make egg coffee, coconut coffee, and salted coffee using the traditional Phin filter. We also learned about the history of Vietnamese coffee. After cooking, we all enjoyed the Banh Mi we made together and they even served homemade traditional wine. Such a fun and memorable experience! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hanoi.

I absolutely loved the: Banh Mi Baking & Coffee Brewing Class. Chef Ryan was friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable — he didn’t just teach us how to knead dough and toast baguettes, but also took time to share the fascinating story of how French influence shaped the banhmi and Vietnam’s coffee culture. I really enjoyed the hands-on elements: pickling vegetables, preparing fillings (we chose pork), shaping the baguette, and trying our hand at egg coffee. It was casual and fun, but also full of detail and flavour. The kitchen felt clean, welcoming and perfect for either small or big group. Highly recommend this class for anyone visiting Hanoi who loves food, culture, or just having a great, interactive morning. It was a highlight of our trip!

The Vietnamese coffee making (3 kinds) and Banh Mi making class was a lot of fun. The facility setup is great and it was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon indoors in Hanoi. Alex our hostess and teacher was great she was patient and did a great job leading us through the process to create a delicious Banh Mi.

Great short class on Vietnamese coffee and banh mi making! The instructor is very hands on and guides each participant closely throughout the process. The small group setting allows plenty of time for practice and connecting with others. The whole experience is truly memorable. it makes us appreciate Vietnamese cuisine more.

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter. Making banh mi with people from different countries was so much fun! I'm not good at English, but it was okay if I watched what others were doing since it was practical and not a lecture. (It might be difficult if you can't understand English at all.) The banh mi with freshly baked bread, homemade sauce, and ingredients was really delicious! Thank you so much to Jesse, who explained everything carefully, Nancy, who made various things by hand, the other staff, and the 10 people who participated in the same class! They prepared cocoa for my child and the content was enjoyable for children, so I highly recommend it for people with children!

The 3 hour class was fantastic. We learnt to: ✔️ make the bread dough from scratch ✔️ bake and shape our own mini baguettes ✔️ prepare the fillings ✔️ whip up a proper egg coffee (so creamy!) The class was so worth it. We made everything from scratch with clear step-by-step instructions from Hazel. At the end, we enjoyed our freshly baked banh mi and egg coffee or cocoa. The bread texture is exactly what I'm looking for.. crispy outside, fluffy & soft inside. Delicious and satisfying 😋

We loved this experience , Alex our host was so much fun and it was very hands on and delicious to eat the Bahn mi and try the different coffee’s. Amazing value for money and highly recommend doing this activity 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
