What Vietnamese drip is
Slow filter coffee through a metal phin.
Vietnamese drip is listed as a coffee in the Vietnam guide, where the index tags it manual brew. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
Where to find Vietnamese drip
Vietnamese drip is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Vietnam. Order at the counter if there is one; the cheapest and most typical cup is usually drunk standing up.
The Vietnam guide also covers 9 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.

Vietnamese drip: common questions
What is Vietnamese drip?
Slow filter coffee through a metal phin. It is listed in the TasteBridge Vietnam guide as a coffee.
How much does Vietnamese drip cost in Vietnam?
Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.
Is Vietnamese drip vegetarian?
Vietnamese drip is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.
Where can I try Vietnamese drip?
Our index lists it across Vietnam, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
