We’re always excited to hear about new coffee experiences to cover in Cafe Scene, and our coffee loving audience is always seeking new places to enjoy great coffee.

At present we’re focusing on the following areas: Hồ Chí Minh, Hà Nội, Đà Lạt, Cần Thơ and Vũng Tàu. However, we’ll happily receive all cafe review requests, as the area of coverage is expected to expand over time.

Independent Cafes
(1 to 3 locations)

Cafe Scene strongly believes in supporting independent cafes.

Submit a free “Independent Cafe Request” and we’ll evaluate it for going into our queue of future cafes to review. When being reviewed, Cafe Scene will visit your cafe to gather details, sample the coffee and take photography (and in some cases videos). The visit is typically not scheduled or announced, to best capture the typical experience of the cafe.

Cost: All we ask is for a complimentary coffee and pastry item (where available), that’s it!

We’re delighted to discover new coffee bean offerings from both local and international roasters to include in our coffee bean reviews. You’re encouraged to request a review of your coffee.

Roasted Coffee Whole Beans
(Small Batch, Indie and Micro Roasters)

Without the skilled coffee roasting artisans, where would we be?

Our coffee reviews are for roasted whole bean offerings only. As coffee tasting can be highly subjective, reviews are striactly objective, based on the roaster’s supplied specifications and profile information. Exceptions to this are “Editor’s Notes” and being awarded the Cafe Scene Selection designation.

Cost: We’d love a standard retail sized bag (200g-250g) of your whole bean coffee, that’s it!

Once you’ve submitted a “Coffee Bean Review Request”, instructions will be provided for sending a sample retail pack of your coffee for evaluation and photography.

A limited handful of cafes and coffee beans that represent a truly exceptional coffee experience are bestowed with the Cafe Scene Selection designation. Such cafes and coffee beans demonstrate outstanding passion and craftsmanship. The selections are based on the editor’s choosing and are considered the top tier offering of their respective markets.

It may be apparent to you that a majority of cafe reviews feature lattes (or cappuccinos) as the primary ‘coffee shot’ for cafes.

The appearance of a latte can often serve s a good comparable benchmark of the quality, skill and effort that went into its preparation. This can be more challenging to discern with other beverages with less visible traits for comparison.

The colour and texture of the crema and foam; complexity, creativity and accuracy of the latte art; quality of the mug, plate, spoon and sweetener; inclusion of biscuit and serving tray. Combined, these factors give an impression as to the level of detail and care placed into preparation.

While such photos ultimately don’t speak to the tastiness of the coffee, they do lend to setting certain expectations in combination with any written coffee tasting notes.

We graciously rely on volunteer translation from English to Vietnamese, and their efforts give our content a much accessibility. If you’ve spotted a translation that could use some polishing up, or you wish to volunteer to help translate Cafe Scene content, please contact us. Thank you.
