XLIII Coffee’s Bakery Kitchen Officially Arrives at the An Khanh/Thao Đien Location

Enjoying a cup of Specialty coffee at XLIII Coffee is never a solitary experience. We believe that for the original aromas to truly flourish and the palate to reach its fullest potential, coffee always needs a worthy culinary companion. This April, the journey to perfection officially enters a new chapter with the launch of our Live Kitchen at XLIII Coffee’s An Khánh branch in Ho Chi Minh City.

A second-floor open kitchen for a more immersive experience

At our An Khánh branch, in the former Thảo Điền area, we made a deliberate choice not to place the bakery kitchen beside the fast-paced energy of the ground-floor coffee bar. Instead, the Live Kitchen has been set on the second floor a quieter space filled with natural light and softened by the shade of surrounding greenery.

This was a carefully considered decision, shaped entirely around the guest experience.

If the ground floor moves to the energetic rhythm of high-end espresso machines, then the second floor offers a slower, more reflective atmosphere. The kitchen has been designed as a fully open space, allowing guests to watch the craft unfold in full view in the morning light: from the gentle rise of fermenting sourdough, to the practiced precision of dough shaping and rolling, to the moment the first pastries emerge from carefully controlled heat. The transparency we value at the coffee bar is now carried through just as fully into our culinary space.

Opening the kitchen in An Khánh was never a spontaneous move. It marks another milestone in completing XLIII’s nationwide coffee-and-food experience.

Our journey began in Da Nang (The Origin) – the starting point where our first sourdough loaves were cultivated. It continued in Hanoi (The Heritage) – a kitchen shaped by the depth and character of the capital. And now it comes into full bloom in Ho Chi Minh City (The Blooming) – a destination that reflects the energy, openness, and dynamism of southern Vietnam. Across every city, XLIII Coffee remains constant in its philosophy of service, ingredient transparency, and precision in craft.

Nueva Alianza Pacamara #4733 – The essence of Cusco with elegant jasmine notes

Nueva Alianza Pacamara #4733 is a testament to the miraculous terroir and dedicated cultivation of the renowned Cusco region. The combination of the characteristic Pacamara bean size and ideal altitude has forged a flavor profile of immense sophistication and depth. From the very first moment, this lot captivates with its elegant jasmine notes, radiating a gentle, pure fragrance akin to a flower blooming in the morning dew.

Nueva Alianza Orange Gesha #4737 – An expedition of recessive genetic traits into the sensory realm

In a world of authenticity, Nueva Alianza Orange Gesha #4737 represents the proud emergence of rare biological traits often obscured by nature’s universality. Carrying a recessive genetic code, Lot #4737 embarks on an “expedition” into the connoisseur’s mind, where record-breaking fructose concentrations are released to perfectly fill every sensory gap with absolute smoothness and purity.

Through washed processing and extremely-light roasting, vibrant citrus nuances and ethereal floral notes, once hidden deep within the genetic structure, now manifest with power, transforming the tasting experience into a journey of ontological completion, where the rarity of recessive genes finally reigns supreme in flavor.

Nueva Alianza Maragogipe #4735 – The “Giant” at the center of attention

Amidst a world of countless specialty coffee beans, Nueva Alianza Maragogipe #4735 emerges as a symbol of grandeur, instantly commanding attention with its distinct appearance. Affectionately dubbed the “Giant” for its impressively mutated “Elephant Bean” size, lot #4735 from Nueva Alianza stands as a testament to nature’s wonders in the Cusco region. Yet, its true allure extends far beyond its imposing exterior; hidden within these colossal beans lies a gentle “soul” blooming with pure floral and crystalline fruit notes.

Nueva Alianza Sidra #4736 – The sweetness born from the resilience of the Andes

Unlike the airy aromatic layers so often encountered, a cup of Nueva Alianza Sidra #4736 takes command of the palate through a distinctly physical sense of “weight” the creamy richness of Blueberry Yogurt and the dense, syrupy sweetness of a spoonful of Berry Jam. This shimmering, viscous body, achieved through the traditional Natural process, is the compressed result of the harsh cold currents that sweep across the Andes at 1,820 meters above sea level. At a deeper level, the sheer weight carried within this cup becomes a beautiful metaphor for the iron discipline and resilience of producer Dwight Aguilar Masías  a man who has spent his entire life holding his ground, protecting an inherited landscape against the brutal upheavals of time and circumstance.

Ziriguidum #2 – A Proud Rhythm from the Heart of the Cerrado Savanna

In the native language of Brazil, Ziriguidum is an onomatopoeia capturing the powerful, frenetic rhythm of Samba percussion. Yet, as the namesake for the Ziriguidum #2 – Masterpieces Auction 2025 lot, this rhythm takes on a quieter, more profound meaning. It perfectly encapsulates a beautiful natural paradox: the flourishing of the fragile, caffeine-deficient Laurina variety amidst the harsh, arid expanse of the Cerrado savanna.

Rejecting all artificial fermentation techniques, producer Daterra Coffee preserves this pure genetic code through a meticulous Natural process, guided only by the primal sun. To taste Ziriguidum #2 is not merely to experience a sparkling flavor profile; it is an exploration of nature’s resilience, ecological restoration, and the absolute pinnacle of artisanal craft.

Behind every cup lies a commitment to the “medical ethics” spirit, manifested through kindness from sustainable cultivation to meticulous processing, honoring both health and the original value of the coffee bean.
