Our Story
We’ve been chasing good coffee for as long as we can remember. From early mornings in Asia to lazy afternoons across Europe, coffee has always been part of how we connect, reflect, and feel at home. At Humpback Whale, we try to bring that same feeling into every detail. We care about where the beans come from, who roasts them, and how each cup feels in your hands.
We enjoy the not-so-quiet rhythm of making coffee - the steady grind, the hiss of the machine, the focus it takes to get each shot just right. There’s something meditative in it, like a daily practice. For us, working behind the bar isn’t just about serving drinks - it’s a way to slow down, be present, and create something meaningful in the moment. That calm focus is something we hope you feel too.
And the whale?
It’s a bit of a mystery, even to us. Sometimes it reminds us of home and the sea breeze we grew up with. Sometimes it’s about being free, curious, and kind. Other times, it just feels right - like a quiet dream swimming through everything we do.
This café is a piece of that journey. A space where stories, coffee, and moments drift together - one cup at a time.

Dung K'No Vietnam
This specialty coffee is grown by the K'Ho people, an ethnic minority in Đưng K'Nớ village, 40 km from Dalat in Vietnam’s Lam Dong province. The K'Ho, a matriarchal community, have embraced sustainable coffee farming while preserving their traditional culture. Cherries are carefully hand-picked, quality-checked, and fully traceable to each farmer and harvest day. They are then transported to our eco-friendly wet mill 90 km away for a water-efficient semi-washed process that highlights the coffee’s unique character.
