Vietnamese cold brew coffee, meet ube: the ever-popular Filipino purple yam in a sofi Award-winning iced coffee that tastes as good as it looks.
- Condensed milk and ube together: The classic Vietnamese coffee sweetener and the earthy purple yam create layered sweetness that's complex, not cloying.
- Real ube: Little Green Cyclo doesn't skimp and uses actual purple sweet potato.
- Robusta-Arabica blend: Sourced directly from family farms in Vietnam's Central Highlands.
- Back-to-back Award winners: Little Green Cyclo won the prestigious Specialty Food Association sofi Awards in 2021 and 2022.
For Vietnamese coffee lovers who want a new dimension, and for ube enthusiasts who've never thought to pair their favorite ingredient with a bold Southeast Asian brew.
Origins
Vietnamese coffee (cà phê sữa đá) is one of Vietnam's most beloved daily rituals; strong, dark Robusta coffee dripped over sweetened condensed milk and poured over ice for deliciously addictive brew. Little Green Cyclo, originally a Bay Area bistro, has translated that tradition into award-winning cans. This flavor draws from the bistro's bestselling ube latte, pairing the smooth, nutty purple yam with their signature Central Highlands coffee blend.
Taste: Nutty, Toasty, Sweet.
How to enjoy
- Pour over ice for a Vietnamese café-style experience
- Use as the base for a coffee-ube smoothie or a chilled dessert
- Pairs well with: A croissant, a Bánh mì sandwich, or a handful of Nopales Cactus chips for a lime-and-salt and ube-sweet snack combo.
