Everyone wonders what they want to achieve in life, what they want to do, and what passion they have.
This goal is what we strive for, during our lifetimes, and 30 years ago… I stumbled upon an opportunity that led me to understand who I am and what is my true passion.
Since then, I have been picking and roasting coffee for more than 10,000 days of my life. Along the way, many farmers and workers were willing to help me hone the skill of picking the finest coffee beans.
Day after day in the coffee industry, it has become my duty to deliver the best coffee beans to all you coffee lovers!
I also had chances to work with some of the world coffee brands, being with them on the work of a selection of many amazing coffee beans manually. With all those supplies they have created many remarkable and impressive coffee drinks to people, from continent to continent!
Having had nearly 30 years of experience in the coffee beans business, especially in Vietnam, the World’s Second largest Coffee producer. It has been a very interesting journey pursuing a passion of his life, Hiep Pham will bring a unique taste to all the coffee lovers in PEI and Canada!

Pham Khanh Hiep, Owner of Alambé
This is Pham Khanh Hiep, owner of Alambé. Alambé is a Vietnamese café, operating in the Confederation Court Mall since August 2020. Pham has been in the coffee industry for almost 30 years. He owned a roastery in Vietnam, and when he came to PEI, he wanted to introduce the unique flavour of his Vietnamese coffee to local coffee lovers.
Alambé coffee is a little different than your typical cup of joe. Most local coffee shops use coffee from Latin America or Africa, but Vietnamese coffee has a distinct taste. Hiep describes the coffee as less acidic than other types, and very smooth- perfect for iced coffees as well!
The team at Alambé loves that their location in the mall helps connect them with their customers. “We see lots of people,” Pham says “Some come to shop at the mall and stop in for a coffee, and others are looking for coffee specifically but go shop as they sip it.”
From regular drip coffee to distinct flavours, like their brand new egg coffee, Alambé has many high-quality options for customers to enjoy. They also serve finger foods Vietnamese Bhan-Mi sandwiches.
