Doing better, each day.
A single specialty roastery, green coffee sourced from a real, catalogued network, and a neighbourhood café on Ngô Thời Nhiệm — all three, real.
One story, told honestly from cherry to cup.
Epic has been roasting at its Sài Gòn roastery since 2014 and brews to order at the bar. We source single origins from a real, catalogued network — no “direct trade” theatre.
“Four single-origin lots, ten retail labels, five pour-overs on the board.”
A working roastery, not a backdrop.
Green coffee arrives here from Việt Nam's highland growing regions and from our sourcing catalogue, gets profiled on the drum, cupped, then bagged in the same week it is roasted. Epic has been roasting in Sài Gòn since 2014.

Picked ripe, dried slow, sourced with care.
Our Vietnamese lots begin in the highland growing regions we source from. Cherries are hand-picked at ripeness, then dried slowly under a greenhouse dryer — sun-dried, honey or fully washed, depending on the lot.

Café Setup
Weekends at Epic feel like a different place entirely.
Same familiar corner, the same faces you keep running into, the same soft clatter of laptops over coffee — but strip away the weekday rush and Epic slows right down, gentler somehow. Give us a Sunday afternoon here, and leave recharged for the week ahead.
- Open 7:00–22:30, every day
- 49 Ngô Thời Nhiệm, Phường Võ Thị Sáu, Quận 3
- Pour-over bar, quiet lounge upstairs, leafy patio
