Over extracteD coffee

over extracted takes extraction seriously, which sounds obvious until you've had a flat white somewhere that didn't. situated on nguyễn du in district 1, this is a part of hồ chí minh city that moves fast, and the fact that people slow down here says something. specialty coffee in vietnam exists in a genuinely interesting tension, local robusta culture on one side, the third-wave filter-and-single-origin crowd on the other, and a shop that commits fully to the latter earns a different kind of loyalty. the regulars at over extracted are notably devoted, not casually so. if you're mapping out a morning in sài gòn with coffee as the anchor, nguyễn du at a reasonable hour is a solid place to start it.
