Great staffs, amazing coffees and teas. The downside is the strong smell (nearly odor to me) first entering the caffe. I am not sure it came from coffee roasting or the bathroom which is very close to guest seat area (since the place is quite small)

The Story
About This Place
OKKIO sits on Xuân Thủy in Thao Dien's An Khánh ward, open from 7:30 AM through 9 PM every day of the week — a schedule that positions it for the early-morning crowd most Thao Dien specialty shops miss. The coffee program is precise without being performative: the Oak & Fire Espresso builds cinnamon and sarsaparilla into its Arabica base, the Citrus Garden Coldbrew draws on orange flower and dàn dàn flower tea over a slow-brew foundation, and the Dark Bloom Coldbrew pulls from a Kenya single-origin lot. These are not crowd-pleasing house blends; they reflect a kitchen and bar working from a defined point of view.
The drink menu extends into fermentation. Whisper Kombucha is produced in-house from lychee — manually fermented on site rather than sourced from a distributor — which is an uncommon commitment in a neighborhood where most cafés treat non-coffee options as an afterthought. A 120ml bottled Vietnamese coffee line covers three distinct registers: a caramel-forward Happy Milk Coffee, a chocolate-inflected Freedom Coffee, and the more traditional Independence Milk Coffee, which mirrors a classic cà phê sữa profile for those who want something familiar.
Food runs to croissants and bagels with deliberate fillings: prosciutto di Parma, salmon with house-made sour cream and dill, chicken breast with pesto and Emmental, a Croissant Club with bacon and caramelized onion. These are café sandwiches that hold up as a proper meal rather than a placeholder.
With a 4.4 rating across 574 Google reviews, the café draws a steady mix of expat professionals and local regulars who treat it as a full-day base. Among Thao Dien's crowded coffee landscape, the combination of craft cold brew, house fermentation, and a kitchen serious enough to source prosciutto di Parma gives it a distinct position.

One of our fav coffee joint in town! Excellent selection of fresh beans !
Okkio has quickly become my go-to brunch/lunch work spot. They have a great vibe, a lot of young locals studying or taking meetings. It’s quiet enough for you to do some focused work. Their coffee and tea selection is exquisite. They have delicious bagels with assorted protein fillings. Good Wi-Fi, comfy seats and tables with power sockets. Strong AC. The most warm and friendly staff who’re very attentive to refill your water if you sit for long. 10/10
The first time I visited Okkio was early in the morning, right when they had just opened—but they already had smiles on their faces. I felt so happy sitting in the beautiful corner, enjoying my chocolate without sugar or condensed milk. My friend also really enjoyed the coconut coffee. After chatting for a while, I wanted my drink warmed up again, and they were more than happy to help—making it smooth and warm just like before. The security guard was also very friendly, taking care of my bike and offering support. Highly recommended!
My go-to spot for working from a café. The cà phê sữa đá, iced americano, and iced latte are all excellent, you can really taste the aroma of the beans. They do milk-based coffee drinks especially well. The space is small but full of character. Soft lighting, cozy and intimate atmosphere, and just the right level of background buzz to stay productive.
