Every Half Coffee Roasters Secures $8 Million in Series A Funding

Vietnamese specialty coffee chain Every Half Coffee Roasters has secured $8 million in a Series A funding round to expand its retail footprint and supply operations.

The capital injection provides the Ho Chi Minh City-based roaster with fresh resources to scale its cafe network and upgrade processing facilities across domestic markets.

Expanding Roastery and Store Footprint

Founded to champion Vietnamese specialty beans alongside international varieties, Every Half operates a growing roster of cafe locations alongside its roasting business. The new financing enables the company to accelerate new outlet openings in key urban centers, while bolstering direct sourcing partnerships with domestic coffee farmers.

Operating in an increasingly sophisticated domestic cafe market, the brand focuses on single-origin offerings, specialized brewing methods, and modern retail store formats designed for urban consumers.

Shifting Dynamics in Vietnam’s Coffee Market

Vietnam remains the world’s second-largest coffee producer, yet its retail landscape has long been dominated by traditional robusta street stalls and large domestic chains like Highlands Coffee and Phuc Long. Over the past five years, consumer preferences in major cities have shifted toward premium arabica, specialty roasters, and traceable sourcing.

Independent chains across Southeast Asia are tapping institutional capital to challenge both legacy domestic operators and global giants such as Starbucks. For RetailNews Asia readers tracking regional food and beverage investments, the round confirms sustained venture interest in premium cafe concepts that control both roasting and retail touchpoints.

Every Half now turns to executing its multi-city rollout schedule as competitors race for prime commercial real estate in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
