Our story

Every shade begins with a material.

Inspired by the heritage of Thợ Nhuộm Street, Atelier reimagines the spirit of a traditional dyer’s workshop.

The street

Thợ Nhuộm Street

Thợ Nhuộm Street was named for the dyers who once worked here, coaxing colour out of raw cloth. Atelier sits inside the Solaria d’Oriente hotel, with one door on Thợ Nhuộm and one on Quang Trung.

The idea

Materials, gestures, shades.

Beans, leaves, cacao and fruit are our materials. Grinding, dripping, steeping, whisking and pressing are our gestures. What comes out is a shade: a colour, a texture, a length of time.

Arabica

Just as every dye begins with a carefully chosen material, our coffee begins with washed Arabica grown in Trạm Hành, Đà Lạt, at 800–1,200 metres. Its natural palette unfolds in layers of dried fruit, delicate tea and roasted nuts, rounded by gentle sweetness and a full body.

Robusta

Bold and full-bodied, our honey-processed Single Origin Robusta is grown in Đắk Lắk at 600–800 metres. It reveals rounded notes of milk chocolate and honeyed sweetness, selected for our modern interpretation of Vietnamese coffee.

The names

Names borrowed from cloth.

A dyer’s workshop is full of ink, leather, silk and velvet. We named our drinks after them.

  • The Ink

    Vietnamese black espresso. The darkest shade on the palette.

  • The Brown

    Vietnamese espresso with condensed milk, warm as tanned leather.

  • The Silk

    Our bạc xỉu. Pale, soft and smooth, like undyed silk.

  • The Velvet

    Creamy salty coffee. Deep, round and soft to the touch.
