Chloé Cà Phê & Roastery
Sacramento, CA, USA
Chloé Cà Phê & Roastery is Sacramento’s first dedicated Vietnamese specialty-coffee roastery, opened in Midtown by husband-and-wife team Charley Phung and Crystal Huynh-Kim — both former mobile-food vendors — and named after their daughter Chloé. In February 2024 they traveled to Vietnam to source coffee directly; production roasts run through Bay Area CoRoasters in Berkeley on a Loring roaster, with a Roest sample roaster in-house. The café showcases rare Vietnamese varieties including Fine Robusta, THA1 and Liberica, and also runs a B2B green-coffee and white-label roasting arm.

Orange, caramel, dried fruits, cocoa
Chloé's customer-favourite blend: 40% salt-fermented Fine Robusta from Nam Ban for body and chocolate depth, 60% 180-hour anaerobic Liberica from Quảng Trị for ripe tropical fruit and a floral lift.
Dark chocolate, ripe jackfruit, smoked honey
The coffee Chloé pulls on its own espresso machine every day and the house coffee of its wholesale cafés. An 85-point CQI Fine Robusta from Bui Coffee Supply in the misty Nam Ban highlands, hand-picked and fermented anaerobically with salt. Harvested December 2025 to January 2026.
White florals, honey, pear, molasses, cacao
Runner-up in the robusta category of the 2026 Vietnam Amazing Cup. WASI-bred TR4 and TR9 clones from Bui Coffee Supply, fermented in sealed tanks charged with salt, fresh ginger and pepper, so the aromatics ferment into the bean rather than being added after.
Coconut cream, salted chocolate, malt, warm spice
