In the heart of the Central Highlands, where red basalt soil meets endless rows of green coffee trees, lies a modern cultural icon – the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Museum. More than a museum, it is a celebration of Vietnam’s deep-rooted coffee heritage, a place where the scent of roasted beans mingles with the pride of an entire nation.
A Landmark Where Culture and Creativity Brew Together
Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Museum
Opened in 2018, the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Museum (also known as the World Coffee Museum) is part of the larger Coffee City Complex – a visionary project designed to position Buon Ma Thuot as the capital of coffee not just in Vietnam, but in the world.
Its architecture immediately catches the eye: a series of curved, earth-toned structures inspired by the longhouses of the Ede ethnic group and the gentle shape of coffee beans themselves. Each line, each curve reflects the soul of the Central Highlands – organic, grounded and full of warmth.

Inside, the museum houses over 10,000 artifacts collected from coffee-producing countries around the globe, many dating back hundreds of years. Through immersive exhibits, visitors can trace the journey of coffee – from ancient Ethiopian rituals to modern brewing techniques – while learning how Vietnam rose to become the world’s second-largest coffee exporter.
But this museum isn’t just about display. It’s an experience that awakens every sense. Interactive rooms allow guests to touch, smell and even roast coffee beans themselves. The sound of grinding coffee fills the air, while digital art installations depict the life of farmers, their dedication and their connection to the land.
Outside, vast gardens filled with blooming flowers and aromatic plants create a peaceful retreat – a perfect reflection of Vietnam’s Central Highlands spirit.

Taste the Pride of Buon Ma Thuot
No visit to the Coffee Museum is complete without indulging in a freshly brewed cup. At the museum’s café, each sip tells a story – of the highland soil, the morning mist and the skilled hands that nurture every bean.
The region’s signature Robusta coffee is strong and full-bodied, known for its distinctive aroma and gentle bitterness. Whether served in a traditional phin filter, poured over ice with condensed milk, or crafted into a modern espresso, the taste carries the essence of Dak Lak – bold, earthy and proud.

Beyond coffee, Buon Ma Thuot’s cuisine is an exploration of highland flavors. Visitors can enjoy grilled wild boar, bamboo-tube rice, or bitter eggplant soup, dishes that reflect the harmony between people and nature. Each meal feels like a celebration of the land’s generosity and resilience.
As you walk through the streets surrounding the museum, the rhythm of Buon Ma Thuot comes alive – the hum of roasting beans, the laughter in local cafés, the feeling that here, coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a way of life.
